There are cowboys and there are Cow Belle’s. After 6 months of wonderment, I’d like to share with you what it’s like to be a Yoga Instructor/Cow Belle…
Pamper Yourself Now Not Later
It’s hurricane season, and there is already another hurricane barreling towards us when most are still picking up the pieces from the last hurricane.
That’s life, though. Life presents one storm after another, whether it is in the form of a hurricane, personal illness, family trauma, and the list can go on and on.
