Houston and its skies

I come from a city surrounded by beautiful green mountains and I always remember falling in love with the sunrises, with the sun hiding behind the green in the afternoons and with the amazing gray clouds during the rain season. I really really love and miss those moments...
And then, when my husband and I moved to Houston 10 years ago, I could not resist falling in love again with Houston and the amazing skies we can contemplate and enjoy here. It is ironic, kind of strange and to think about it, how one of the most polluted cities in the United States can display all this beauty? Well, I guess this is the magic and the gifts that nature and this universe gives us no matter what, I guess is a reminder for us to become more aware of what we have down on land and up in the skies... Life and Nature are definitely warriors in this crazy and non-sense life times.
So every morning, every afternoon, and every time I reward my self looking up and get amazed with these skies. I look up and close my eyes for a moment to set my mind right in the moment and to give thanks to God and the universe for all of these.

Yoga Retreat

There I was sitting at the airport with my heart bouncing and getting ready for my first Yoga retreat. I remember being very excited and kind of sad at the same time because I was leaving my family and going to this paradise just by myself. But I took my husband's lovely words with me and all the love and support from him, my family and friends and just flew away....

 

 

 

 

Less is MORE.

Feelings are never right or wrong, they are the truth.

Act from the heart.

Offer your heart to what everything you do in this world....

I love Yoga.

Waking up by the rooster and the sweet sounds of an old bell at 5:30 am.

Silent meditation and satsang from 6 to 8am.

Yoga class at the bay platform from 8 to 10am.  I have been missing the warm light coming from the sun and the cold wind coming from the bay.

The most delicious brunch at 10am.  Salad, all kind of veggies, oatmeal with brown sugar, the most delicious bread, almond butter, fruit, soy milk....

Read, walk, nap, hammock time, swim in the blue ocean, write, think, cry, laugh....

Yoga class at the bay platform from 4 to 6pm.  Windy, warm and the sound of the waves... unforgettable feeling.

Dinner time at 6pm!!!  Oh... dinner time!!!  Delicious!!!!

Silent meditation and satsang form 8 to 10pm. The most beautiful chants are still in my mind and in my heart...

"I am Bliss I am Bliss Bliss Absolute Bliss I am"

My heart is full of gratitude, love, beautiful memories, peace...

Om Shanti, Om Peace

Remembering Recapturing

And beaming and smiling!

Those enlightened moments, when you can breath deeply and feel every beat of your heart. Those tiny and also huge instants that you just want to freeze in time and in your memory.
Those mornings and those afternoons filled with their laugh, their happy screams, their bouncing arms and legs , their stories, their silence moments and their love... Those moments that are mine and that are yours... Those moments that belong to (us) these family-team-circle of love and life.
