After landing several times on my head (weak arms :(), I can now drop back and come up. YAY! Never thought someone as uncoordinated as me could do that – just goes to show – if you put your mind to it you can do anything! Now I just need to work on my handstands…

How I did it: I'm currently finishing up a 2 year YA500 yoga teaching course, and a really great outcome of that is acceptance and the ability to control my anger. This is especially true in terms of road rage! I used to get really angry at people driving recklessly, and while it still concerns me that this shows a total lack of regard for human life, it means that I don't waste unnecessary time and energy on being angry. Just let it go. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I don't know how it took me so long, but it was definitely worth it, although I have now moved into an itty bitty apartment, and all my materials are at my parent's place. Oh well. It just means I get to spend more time at their place!!I went out and bought a canvas. That was really all I needed, because I already had all the other stuff - paints, brushes, turps, palette knife, etc. You just need to make an effort to start - its the start… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Basically, it was impossible until I moved in with my fiance (which happened last weekend!), since he lives 30 minutes drive from me, and we're both crazy busy people. It took so long because we wanted to buy a place together before we moved in together! Read how I did it…

I teach yoga part-time. So even though it’s part-time, I still get paid to have a bunch of fun with like-minded people. Awesomeness. Now I just need my full-time ‘job’ (my PhD) to be fun!
You just need a fine tooth comb and also need to keep it tight. My mom used to do this for me everyday in primary school, and one day I just tried to do it myself and I could! Can’t say it was very pretty, but it was a definite french braid!
