The last item I purchased was a very comfy pair of new yoga pants... and right before that, a gym membership featuring an amazing yoga instructor. I love exercise, but being a mom of young children on top of being pretty transient over the past year, it has been difficult for me to find regularly scheduled exercise time. Don't get me wrong, I love running after my wild kid at the park and toting laundry up and down two flights of stairs load after load after load and toting all of that baby gear from here to there and there to here - it keeps me in shape and I must say that my biceps have never been so toned. However, it is a little difficult to consider those activities exercise in the sense that I am looking for. I love to leave a good workout dripping sweat and walking on air. I love to leave a good workout revived - breathing easier, moving more freely, feeling like I can take on the world. I love to leave a good workout feeling like I've accomplished a better me. Exercise makes me a better mom. It makes me feel free, relaxed, empowered... it makes me feel alive. And, bonus!, it makes all of that laundry hauling and baby gear toting a much easier job! Best gift I could give myself at this time in my life. Namaste.
