Happy Father's Day weekend!

A fast shout out to all the amazing father's in the world!
May you be blessed with an extraordinary year filled with those you love & enjoy, health and wellness!
And just because it's Friday here's a flashback for you of my Dad and I from 2016...it is a little blurry, but we were on a bus at the time...

Happy Father's Day!
Love
Tam
PS.  Oh and "I'm a Dragon" my Chinese Zodiac colouring book will be live on Amazon pretty soon (this weekend I'm hoping)!  Here's the link
PPS.  Now some have asked why I'd name the books such silly titles if they are created for adults.  Well, everytime I'm in a situation (normally out for Chinese food) and there is a placemat that shows the Zodiac on it whomever I'm with will say, "I'm a ______" or "I think I'm a ____________"  Hence the name!  Enjoy a fantastic week

Life is Precious

 Sadly one of the students who has attended my Yoga classes for the Cancer journey lost her battle.  It's so saddening.  This woman gave it a good fight and her gentle energies will definitely be  missed by myself and the other participants.

 Another reminder of just how precious life is.  

 This week I saw a short clip on  Tao Porchon-Lynch worlds oldest yoga teacher.  http://www.taoporchon-lynch.com  She's amazing at 98 years young; teaching yoga for 45 years!  That is something to look forward to.  And makes my 16 years of teaching seem like nothing LOL.  

Anyhow... In the interview she said something along the lines of each morning when she wakes ups she says to herself, "This is going to be the best day of my life!"

Don't you love that? It's fun to try as it brings us back to those moments when we were young and said "this is the best day" so many times.  Life has a funny way of showing us what is "best" doesn't it?  Whatever the day brings and I'll quote another Yoga favourite of mine Lilas Folan:

"Welcome all that comes to you this day and be welcomed by it."

Feel welcomed.

Enjoy this precious moment.

For it could be the best day of your life!

Love

Happy 2015

2015


I'm still freaked out every time I say those numbers.  Today I left someone a message and for the first time this year and stumbled over saying January 2nd ... LOL 


It feels like 2000 was about 10 minutes ago.


Today I finished my Vision Board for 2015.
I'm not sure how you make yours but I use Microsoft Publisher and then go to google images and look for pictures that represent what I'd like to see create in my world.  Then I copy and paste them onto some photo paper and put it in our bedroom.


It's nice because its the first thing I see when I wake up.


This years has many little words phrases of "Thank you" all over it.  I am so very grateful and blessed to live this life and I want to remember this more often.


Ok, now I'm finished with the vision board, my first blog post is complete so now its off to finish tiding and then to script this year.. now that I have the images of what I'd like to have happen now I'll write the story of it all!  Works wonders.


Have a great week!


I am wishing for you a wonder-filled 2015 with continued blessings, joy, health and peace.


Namaste,
Tammy


PS.  I came across this quote today from        

  Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche

(Here's his tube Channel link.... well worth the time spent here!) 

"If you want to be miserable think about yourself. If you want to be happy, think about others."

Awesome!

So Very Blessed

"May love carry you and guide your breath, guide your thoughts, guide your actions, and guide your words. May you be a bright light in this world. May your soul catch fire... and with that light, light many other lights."
~Rod Stryker

I adore Rod.  A few years ago I took his meditation class at the Yoga Show in Toronto.  I remember leaving him feeling so light and airy - so relaxed as I had dropped so many layers of holding.

We all tend to have holding patterns - some we aren't even consciously aware of.  This can stem not only from the physical body, but also the mind. 

Think of the last time you crept facebook or any other social media site and felt less worthy than whomever's page you were creeping. 

This holding is so very damaging our psyche. 

In order to release this - stop yourself from comparing you to them. 

Let go of this holding. 

Remember you are a beautiful, gorgeous soul who is here to share your strength and your knowledge with the whole.

You are so very blessed.

Never forget that.

Namaste & sing it with me now ... "Come on baby light my fire!"

Love,
Tammy

PS.  I'm so excited and almost ready to reveal my Exercise & Wellbeing series on my Etsy Page - it will definitely help you to create a positive shift in your life (and waistline).  Speaking of holding patterns it will help you to release a few.  Watch for it.  In the mean time be sure to check out my Zodiac Series.  I had a blast creating these guys - aren't they cute?
