How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: Searched online and newspaper ads, and talked to friends - then was finally rescued by a good pal :DWhich was a good thing because on the one hand, I was going crazy on the bus and getting more and more exhausted by the day; on the other hand, I was getting reeeeally sick and tired of browsing used car ads, going to dealerships and figuring out that I was potentially getting ripped off on all counts. Read how I did it…
It made me
appreciative
How I did it: It is still a work in progress but I'm going to count it as finished. When I started this goal, I didn't do this at all and probably didn't think it was entirely possible. But now I know, it's a matter of breathing and living with mindfulness. Read how I did it…
It made me
happy
How I did it: I don't think I can say that one single thing did it, but many experiences and events contributed to the 'finished project'. I watched myself each time I had a thought along the lines of: "Where did THAT come from?" or "Why did I/ didn't I say/do that?" I paid attention each time that happened (and sometimes it happened a LOT!) Read how I did it…

I finally did it! I’ve wanted to enter this competition for years but I always forget, or remember too soon, or just lack motivation to complete an entry. But this was the year. I’m glad I did it, and even if nothing comes of it, at least I can say I entered.

I am grateful for:
- my awesome, amazing Yoga Teacher Training. Weekend 1 is amazing so far, and the people I am surrounded by are so inspiring!
- being surrounded by loving friends as we say goodbye to an old friend who died suddenly and too soon, at 27.
- the sun shining on my face
- life, laughter, friendships and family
- a quiet Saturday night
