I did it! I got up early enough to hoop in the park this morning before my Zma shift.
My granddaughter Gracie calls me Zma. I like it!
It felt good to get back to my hooping routine. Honestly, I really believe that a daily routine, that exercises body, mind and spirit is very healthy. Not only does exercise show a positive change physically, but it clears my mind and soothes my nerves. On top of that, I feel a surge in my self confidence from the discipline that I am achieving.
Win, win, win!
Today is my vegan day. I am pleased that I planned ahead and got the ingredients together for a nice Buddha bowl for my lunch.
I placed a layer of brown and wild rice in my bowl, followed by steamed edamame, sliced olives, chunks of not too ripe avocado, topped with "Cafe Yum" sauce, sprinkled with "Everything Bagel" seasoning.
Man, oh man was this good!
I don't really miss the meat on my vegan days. But if a craving strikes, I just tell myself that I can have a bit of meat the next day.
I am already feeling lighter, less achy. I have to remind myself to drink more water. I packed a thermos full of hot Earl Grey tea for my trip to Portland today.
It is a beautiful day outside. The skies are clear, the sun is radiant. It is chilly though. So I had to bundle up for my morning hooping in the park.
I picked up another book from the library yesterday. It is just what I need to remain positive, but allow my creativity to flow. It's called The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life by Thomas Moore.
I've only just begun, but the hairs on my arms are standing up. A cue to me that this book is enticing!
"In The Re-Enchantment of Everyday Life bestselling author Thomas Moore (Care of the Soul) presents an imaginative and adventuresome celebration of soul as poetically engaged with the mystery, beauty, power, and sacredness of the ordinary world in which we live. With his usual beautiful prose, he offers us a passport to enchantment where rocks and trees have much to teach us, where our homes and the foods we eat deliver intimate and sensuous pleasures, where local spirits of neighborhood fuel our desire, and where dreaming and the arts take us beyond ourselves".

I'll give you my thoughts in a few days.
But now, I must be off. I have a bus to catch!
Happy Friday!
