Friday Round-Up: Mid-Winter Blahs

Happy Friday! I just realized that it’s Friday the 13th! Do I need to hang garlic around my neck or something to ward off the bad juju today?

How has your week been? Cold? Snowy?

Thank you all for your kind comments about my impending surgery. Yeah, it sucks and it sucks to be out of commission for so long. But, in the long run, I think that I’d rather be safe than sorry. Right?!?

But my plans for being all active before surgery? They kind of got foiled this week as I managed to come down with some kind of cold. I thought it was some kind of flu but now it feels like allergies. Is it possible to have allergies when everything is frozen over??

I’m excited to get back to my Friday Round-Up posts to share a snapshot of what my week looked like and some of the great things I’ve read recently

Favorite Photos {PS I share more photos on Instagram. Are you following me? Please do!}

Wild Thing at the MoMA. Oh backbends. Have I told you lately how much I love you
Awkward Coffee. There was such a fun yoga challenge on Instagram recently called #yogiscavengerhunt. There were 10 clues and we had to creatively interpret those clue. This was “awkward coffee” – drinking coffee while in Awkward pose – a Bikram yoga posture.
Revolved Triangle and Barnett Newman. A visit to the MoMA and of course, yoga. I love art and miss spending long hours in the galleries!
Frozen Run. I’m kind of over it. You? I know I shouldn’t complain as friends to the north have had it much worse than we have in New York City!
Dancer at the gym. This was also for #yogiscavengerhunt. The clue was dance to your own beat and we were encouraged to show some public display of yoga. I mean, not that difficult for me except that this morning, I was a little bit more conscious of my actions. You see, the Mayor of NYC works out at my gym (he’s from my neighborhood). He was at the gym that morning and I had to wait a bit to snap a photo so I didn’t get on the wrong side of his security detail!

Favorite Reads: Some of the best things that I’ve read this week are these beautiful pieces of writing. Hope you like them too!

What Would Tami Taylor Do?: Have you watched the TV series Friday Night Lights? I came to the series way after it ended, like last year. I’d heard about it but didn’t think that I would like a show about high school football in Texas. But I did. I fell in love with the show and the characters, especially Tami Taylor. Incredibly strong, kind and wise. Don’t mistake her kindness for weakness, y’all. I adore this post from Carla and her exploration of “What Would Tami Taylor Do?”

10 Lessons to Learn from the Seahawks’ Super Bowl Loss: OK, I know that this is from a few weeks ago. I meant to post a Friday Round-Up the week after the Super Bowl but never got to it. The post stood out for me because of the lessons it offers my children. You see, this year, my kids got really into football. I mean, really into it. Their team? The Green Bay Packers. When the Packers lost to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship game, both of them were upset. And not just sad. They were balling. Full on sobbing. They resolved to never watch football again and how they hate losing. These lessons are the exact things that I want to share with them about sports, winning and losing.

40 Days Until 40: If this is what 40 looks like, sign me up! I love Allie and the way she approaches life. Even more, I love how she’s approaching her 40th birthday. Instead of packing her life full as if her 40th birthday was some sort of looming deadline, she’s doing a bit less of something each day.
CNN Ranks Yoga Instructor in Top 100 Careers with ‘Big Growth, Great Pay’ But Forgets One Thing: Just for shits and giggles because this is ridiculous. Just go and look at what they way is the median income of a yoga instructor.
This Girl Can: Have you seen this video? It’s a campaign developed by Sport England and celebrates women doing what they love. #thisgirlcan

Jimmy Fallon Went to Bayside High: I mean, I love Jimmy Fallon.

Get inspired with great reading and fun photos and videos. #linklove
