Why I Quit My Job

Boy has it been a whirlwind around here lately. Change of season, new addition to the family, sleepless nights, and oh yeah I quit my job.

Yes, you read that right. I quit my nine to five high paying sales job in the corporate world. Why? Because I want to live a life I love.

I want to wake up every morning with the urge to jump out of bed and take on the day. I want to have time to read, and write, and teach yoga. I want to spend time with my other half and new puppy. I want to surround myself with like minded people. I want to sweat everyday and challenge myself physically but also mentally. I want to try new things, new activities, new practices. I want to have time to be a student of yoga to better my teaching. I want to be inspired in order to inspire others. I want to get outside more and breathe fresh air. I want to move and I want to get creative. I want to create a life where what I do to make a living meets my passions.

Balsamic & Fig Meatloaf

Happy Friday people!  I hope you all had a fabulous week.  My week has been quite different from most…but I’ll save that for a post coming soon.  I have had a little more time on my hands so decided to break out the cook books and get a little creative.

Fall is definitely in the air and I am not complaining.  It is by far my favorite season! It also makes me crave hearty meals with a sweet and savory spin, dinner by candlelight, and a nice pumpkin beer.  (see below)IMG_2361

I hadn’t made meatloaf in forever, probably since the 21 day sugar detox.  As I was flipping through Diane SanFilippo’s Practical Paleo I came across a recipe for Lamb Meatballs with a Balsamic & Fig Compote.  Sounded amazing!  Except I’m not the biggest lamb fan and I really wanted to make a meatloaf!  So was born Balsamic & Fig Meatloaf.

I Completed Yoga Teacher Training…Now What?

I officially received my 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher certificate this week! It’s funny, I’ve been teaching pretty regularly for a couple of months now but for some reason getting this piece of paper signed by Mitchel and Tracy was so exciting!

Every step on the journey to becoming a yoga teacher is invigorating, enlightening, and of course a little scary. I think for me, after finishing up our last weekend of teacher training, was when the nerves set in.  It all becomes a little more real.

You might start to question yourself…“Can I actually teach yoga?” “Who will I teach?” “Where will I teach?” “Will I make enough money teaching yoga?” “What if I’m a bad teacher?”

Well I’m here to tell you that you can teach yoga! You will find people to teach somewhere.  You will make some money and you will be awesome.  Continue reading →
