costa rica bound
two more days before i dash off to costa rica for a week. i *adore* this country. the people, the landscape, the sounds, the succulent papaya - everything is SO special and so different. we have an amazing group of women joining us and i can't wait to dive into the practice of yoga in this amazing setting. truly restorative (despite the flight leaving at the ungodly hour of 6am!).
i won't have e-mail access while away (may get the shakes) so i'm not sure about blogging. hoping to be able to share a muse here and there, but not sure what to expect. i am usually 100% offline when galivanting around this amazing country. here's a peek at our schedule:

truly divine, no? i'll be sure to share oodles of pictures and stories upon return. hopefully all will entail the consumption of papaya. have i expressed how much i *adore* that orange thing? ahhhh!
feeling a nice downshift transpiring in dc right now. last night i spent 2 hours with my teacher training mentees sipping tea outside teaism. truly decadent considering most nights are filled with classes or meetings. to sit and sip for 2 hours felt like i was playing hooky from life. loved it. e-mails are light, people are moving and graduating, others are dashing out of town early for the long holiday, and there seems to be a lot of transition coupled with a slower pace this week. it's a beautiful time of the year!
embrace the downshift. curl up with a good book (currently reading about 50!). nap. listen to music. light a candle. make a spinach salad. watch an indie flick or documentary (just saw tyson - AMAZING). journal about your dreams. make friends with yourself. sit and do nothing. turn off the tv. dash off to costa rica.

Also when you return, it will be great to see a list of the "50" or so books you are currently reading...I'm going to post the ones that I am planning to get through this summer on my blog!
