Here it is, mid-January and I haven't posted my happy new year message! So, here it is!
My blog turned 4 on January 1 and I'm such a bad friend to my blog that I didn't even come out here to show her some birthday love. What kind of person does that make me? Well, to make up for it I gave her a makeover. Yes, boys and girls, she got a fancy new logo and layout. Isn't she purty? There will be more changes to come, I'm sure. I'm kind of like a fart in a whirlwind. Always changing things up around these here parts, yessir.
Anywho, I have news to share! I am now permanently on the schedule as a yoga instructor at Barefoot Yoga Studio! Can I get a WOOT WOOT! We started the new year off with a New Year New You Workshop. Yogi's came in and wrote out the things they wanted to let go in 2011 and their resolutions for 2012. We rocked out some yoga and afterwards we burned our writings and went on to enjoy some tea and cookies. Cookies provided by yours truly!
