It has been so long since I wrote in my blog..........I make no apologies, I have been lost in a sea of charity work, home life, holiday planning and social events. Sometimes I really wonder how I fit it all in! Social media rarely takes priority in my life, but I do like to use it to keep up with our new virtual world and to be honest I find it cathartic. Since my last post, I have accomplished a few new things.........headstand without the wall being one of them. This may not impress you the reader, but it certainly impressed me, when I suddenly decided to take the leap of so called 'faith' and did a headstand on my mat........with an air of modest 'look at me!!!!' emanating from this rather wobbly, red faced yogi. The reason this was (is) such a big deal, is because in 2011 I was so ill, I could barely walk the stairs. I am not in the throws of youth (but likewise not quite in the 'winter' of my years), and so building up the strength needed to do this pose was a major achievement in itself. It also was affirmation that you are never too young, or too old to do anything. We should judge our ability on our desire to succeed. So my next goal is handstand and I have yet to get up into one, let alone do one without the support of a wall! Watch this space.
