It is raining too much for my liking today. I had an idea of how to dress for my appointment… oh well – But I am glad that I am paying attention to such seemingly insignificant things as how to dress, what to wear. Not wanting to get my hair wet after I managed to [...]

Deja-Vu
April 27, 2011I feel like a yo-yo. I see why some refer to the mind as a battlefield. Because it is! War rages on and on. Not all battles are lost. Indeed not, many are won. But it is an everyday engagement. I have age and a bit of wisdom (deja-vu) on my side, which is why [...]
It Was A Lovely Day
April 25, 2011We had a lovely day yesterday. Friends came over for lunch and even if I say so myself, I cooked a pretty good Easter Meal. Some of my friends brought desert, and this was the choice: Lemon Tart (yum), Raspberry Tart (I am not too keen on fruity things, but others said that it was [...]
Acro Yoga With Akil
April 23, 2011Those of you who came to the “Get Your Wellness On” fair in Washington Square Park last September, are well acquainted with Akil’s abilities in Acro Yoga. We all saw him and the Elf Princess practice some eye-popping postures. Well, I wanted to try too, and Akil was brave enough to take me on (literally). [...]
Esmeralda Practicing Her Yoga
April 21, 2011They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. So, they can do the talking and you can…. you can just tell me that I look the part. It is not too much to ask right? Love, Esmeralda
Livelier Yoga
April 20, 2011Just came back from yoga. Florentina thought that the classes I was taking were a bit too tame (?) She dragged me to a more lively one this morning and now I am comatose, but happy to have done it. I need a snooze now. Love Esmeralda P.S. I go to yogazone, I love it.
Wonderfully Busy
April 19, 2011Hi there – Just to let you know that I am wonderfully busy with my daughter. Yesterday Florentina and I went to yoga together and afterwards for a wonderful luxurious mani-pedi session with a neck massage thrown in. Today after my talk therapy, we’ll go to Woodbury Commons for shopping therapy. How bad can that [...]

Inside A Cushion Box
April 14, 2011My cousin sent me this picture a couple of days ago. It was taken eighteen years ago while visiting my Aunt in Milan, Italy. In his email, my cousin explained that he remembered taking this (and other pictures) picture and that he had looked through thousands of pictures to find it. Thank you Renato. What [...]
I Want To Kiss You
April 12, 2011Strange the things that suddenly touch something deep and raw inside. It distresses me that when Andrew died and we went to see him at the hospital, I was afraid to look at his face. The doctor assured me that he looked well, but as soon as I walked in the cubicle where he lay, [...]
