Thanks for all your comments on my last post about Comparing Yourself to Others. So many of us do it! I challenge you: the next time you find yourself checking someone else out to compare yourself to them – Stop, name three great qualities about yourself and move on.

Chinese food doesn’t last long around here! While I was out running errands I called Ben and offered to pick up dinner. He said…

RER Likes It Hot
I bit the bullet and went to Hot Yoga today. I was really scared because Yoga 1-2 was hard for me back in California and I haven’t done studio yoga in a few months. But, I have come to realize that the studio I went to in Orange County was ‘fo real’ and a lot more hard core than yoga…
