2. being chosen as a POTW.

3. i'm not one who ever really sweats and my acupuncturist told me that i needed to in order to release the toxins from my body. in my first ever, 95 degree, hot yoga class yesterday, i did more than sweat. i dripped every ounce of moisture that my body could produce. i literally looked like someone had dumped a bucket of water on me. and honestly, i loved all of it. i also loved that when i showed my hubby some of the really hard positions we did, that he could do them, too. i love you sweetie for trying those with me last night.

4. going to the food pantry today to sign up some less than fortunate families for their free portraits. once again, it's that time of year again. help-portrait. see if there's a group in your community that you can help with it. it's some of the most rewarding work i've done.

  4. Yay! Congrats on POTW.

    My mother's goal in life was to avoid sweating at all possible costs. I used to tell her it was good for her, but she would have none of it. Sometimes I wonder if that's why she ended up with Parkinson's. I don't enjoy sweating, but I love being outdoors and sweating comes with it in our tropical climate.

    I will check out help-portrait. Thanks for the link!

  5. Love your photo.
    Wondered about the movie, it wounds intriguing.
    I rarely sweat also and know it is good for us. Just joined a gym and whew! I think I will be sweating.
    Always love hearing about the help-portrait program. Congratulations on being chosen for POTW. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. We will be away for a few days, so baking pies to take today.

  6. 95 degree Yoga? That's like doing yoga in a sauna. Crazy, but I bet it did wonders.
    And Sessions, I'll have to check it out.
