Walking Through Open Doors

Sometimes the universe really does open up a door.

You just have to learn to walk through it.

I have for years had a tendency to beat upon closed doors.  In making things harder for myself, I often overlooked opportunity and the obvious.  In the last couple of years, many changes have occurred in my life, most of them overwhelmingly positive.  First and foremost, I have been lucky enough to receive the gift of yoga in my life.   Nothing could have prepared me for the fundamental change that has taken place in my life since I rediscovered yoga.  Yoga is my open door.

With that in mind, I welcome all of my friends to follow my new exploits as a yogini in training, always learning, often teaching, always hoping to bring yoga to others.  In a few weeks, I will open Dancing Dogs Yoga in Beaufort.  Please follow our journey on my new blog:  Dancing Dogs Yoga Blog

Light and Love,

Shelley

Recent Races and Other Exploits

SAVANNAH SKIRT CHASER

Ahhhhh.

Race season in the Low Country:  cool temperatures, beautiful scenery, exhilarating runs.

Except on October 31st, when it was about 90 degrees for the inaugural Skirt Chaser 5K on Hutchinson Island.  Good LORD it was hot.  It was pretty cool to run on the Hutchinson Island Raceway, but the temps were stifling.




Before the race at the Westin Savannah, with the beautiful Savannah River behind us.  It's purty to look at, just don't fall in or you'll sprout another head.




Josh Lowther, stylin' and profilin' before the race.





SUPAH-STAH!  (not)





Catch me if you can!  I LOVE this shirt.  For the record, the hubby did NOT catch me.





AFTER the race, looking a little ragged, eh?  It was fricking HOT. 




DOWNTOWN BEAUFORT


I love living in Beaufort.  We took these pics on the waterfront after an AMAZING brunch at Southern Graces at the Beaufort Inn.  If you have not been.... GO TO BRUNCH AT SOUTHERN GRACES.  Sundays.  $20/person.  AMAZING.

Yes, I really am sweet to him sometimes.




HHI Bridge Run


This time, it was cool.  A beautiful, brisk fall morning.  The sun was shining, and the peeps turned out for the 18th annual bridge run.
