i have taken a few yoga classes in my day, and its guaranteed that afterwards i always feel great about myself. the poses are difficult, i am a def no yogi master yet, but i feel more in tuned with my body, my mind is clear i have detoxed all my negitive thoughts...so why oh why do i not do it more often?? i am going to make a real concious effort to try and get at least one yoga class in a week, wish me luck on my road to enlightenment.

yoga jones in ventura ca is the perfect spot for newbies and far advanced yoga kings and queens
every last sunday of the month they offer a free class of basic yoga, i have attended that class once and plan on attending every month, oops i missed jan (im off to a great start as you can tell) the instructor was enchanting, a youthful old woman with gray hair down to the middle of her back, a huge smile on her face and love in her heart. they offer so many different types of yoga, some pretty intimidating, some fun and some for kids! check em out and maybe ill see you the last sabath of feb!

SOME OF MY FAVORITE QUOTES by MARK TWAIN
looks like im going to need to pick up Huckleberry Finn
Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry
History doesn't repeat itself..at best sometimes it rhymes
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone else up.
The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter.
The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself.
Man is the Only Animal that Blushes. Or needs to.

a change gone come

This is a monumental moment in history and we are all a part of it.

I was born by the river in a little tent

Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

Ohhhhhhhhh.....

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

tell me are you a badfish too??
