I was tagged by joriahsmind to post 4 selfies. 

I don’t really take selfies. The ones I have taken and liked, I’ve posted. Other than that it’s through Facebook messenger or Snapchat and I’m sending a weird face to someone. So I looked through Facebook “shared photos” of my most frequently chatted frienners and got these gems.  Yay selfies! 

Yoga Studio Opens Its Doors To Shelter Cats Hoping To Find A Home

It’s (obviously) no secret that the company of cats is good for the soul, and that practicing yoga is too. But when the two come together, it’s a match made in heaven — and even more so when it’s for such a wonderful cause. Homeward Bound, a no-kill pet shelter in Illinois, recently teamed up with a local studio, Yoga at Connie’s, to host a special class featuring adoptable adult cats. Students were encouraged to practice their poses and mingle freely with the felines, all in hopes of finding them and others the forever homes they deserve.
