Every morning I get out of bed and stand on my two feet and fold forward. Why? I have three reasons. First off to take a moment to lengthen my spine before running off for the day. Our backs literally take the brunt of work throughout the day from the minute we “sit up” in the morning to walking, exercising, sitting, standing, and finally lying down to sleep. I don’t know about you but I love my back and want it to last a long long long time. I don’t know if it’s scientifically proven that a simple forward bendContinue Reading >>

Nike was on to something when they came up with the slogan “Just do it!” when you think about it these three words together are extremely powerful. The technology era has evolved us into analytical beings who create amazing graphs and flow charts in our heads analyzing the cost benefit of almost EVERY decision and when the decision is finally made it’s too late and the funny thing is then you want that “thing” even more!

I spent all weekend at my cousin’s wedding dancing, singing, laughing, and eating (lots of eating). Indian weddings are week-long functions that consist of lots of family, lots of food and lots of fun.
