The Calm Before The Storm...



I tucked my computer away this morning and after L went to preschool puttered about, quietly eating the most delicious satsuma oranges (aren't they so pretty with their leaves on?), drinking a pot of genmaicha and indulging in a private at home yoga session...it was the perfect way to start the beginning of the holiday season and reflect on what I am truly thankful for...and a great reminder to find little moments of calm in what can be a stressful time of the year...I hope everyone can indulge in a bit of down time this long weekend to restore - Happy Thanksgiving!!
xoxo, M

ps - if you are in the Twin Cities I can't think of a better treat for yourself or your best gal pal than an in home yoga session with Sarah Jane - she ends with really amazing meditations...(just make sure the UPS man doesn't knock right in the middle - argh!) and if you just have 5 minutes to yourself she recommends doing Legs Up The Wall Pose

pps - If you like beating the crowds and shopping in your pjs the sale is on over at the shop - 25% off everything when you enter "holiday" at checkout!

  4. Oh, genmaicha is one my absolute favorite flavors in the universe. So satisfying. Love hearing about your at home yoga session. What a gift to yourself. You totally deserve it. And I'm going to do some legs against the wall this morning. I'm sure I need that. Happy day, friend.
