Bliss.

Un viaje precioso a Singapur!
...
Hoy en Ginza, andando los calles con el cafe en mi mano, a las 6 cuando la clima y la temperatura es perfecto que es posible. Un poco viento, solo necesito mi chal que compre en la India...
Full moon, menstrual cycle starts. Living with nature and listening to light within.
Enjoy life and live it!

Traveling!

Night before carrot and cabbage kitchadi (split moong and basmati rice) with coconut oil, cumin, coriander, hing, rocksalt, pepper, bayleaf and ginger.
Accompanied by daikon leaves & sesame with ripe avocado.
Vata is vitiated with traveling, even more with pms. Keep moderate pace.
Hot weather, Singapore very soon:)

P.M.S

I just have to let this one out.
One week before the day, I can feel my hormones doing their job.
Back and shoulder aches, lethargy, bloating, depressed, feeling like Ive gained about five pounds.
Flowing with the natural cycle.
In Adhomukha Svanasana yesterday.
Be positive!

Eco-friendly?

A new Starbucks cafe in Meguro. Love the natural woodiness.
With my granola from good morning tokyo.
Today's Chef's granola:
Plain granola base with banana, kiwi, peach, cranbery, coconut and pineapple wit pumpkin seeds!
Thinking of cooking spring asparagus tonight, and get ready for a getaway to Singapore in a few days!

Kira-kira glow.

Yesterday we celebrated my grandma's 88th birthday.
Absolutely energetic and healthy. Eats well, great digestion, strong legs, talks lots, loves talking to people, has curiousity, always tells herself she is healthy&strong... and definitely always concious about appearance and the other sex. Its true! Apparently the hormones make you younger:)
She hasn't taken medicine, or gone to the doctors for years!!
Again, I was thankful and fortunate to celebrate this day with my loving family.
Full course lunch at french resturant Mikasa Kaikan along the coast of Enoshima island, a 15 min walk from my grandma's house.
I swear! I felt my grandpa in the breeze as we looked out into the vast ocean.
The beautiful salad (nicoise, with homemade oiled tuna) is from another day at the beach, at the lofty Garbs restaurant also located along the coast near the aquarium!
Always be positive, and never give up. Have preserverance. Enjoy it all!

Dharma

I think I found my passion.
 
You don't always realize it at the beginning. Little by little you find out more about something or someone, and start to connect the dots.
 
Teaching is learning.
And it gives me energy.
 
Appreciation:)

Fulfilment

Being me.
Following my heart and passion.
Believing in me.
Not chasing or wanting,
It will all come.
Continue to glow!
Be vibrant!
Surrounded by beautiful people everyday and moment.
Family and friends.
Yoga.
P.S.
Thinking about studying Japanese history again:)

Turning point.

Commitment.
Engaging.
Time and experience tells.
Just keep at it.
Always be passionate, be open and challenging, but never forget to just stick with it.
