Launching! Into a New Career

Amidst the thicket of holiday anticipation, life strangly feels like it's coming together.  Can you tell I'm a little giddy?  Yesterday I put the down payment on an Oriental Medicine degree in Acupuncture and Herbology.  A four year long dream in the making - ain't big decisions more difficult with kiddos? - I'm just starting with two night classes.  So I'm easing into it and visualizing sprinting for the finish once I have more time...ha!  So the kids better like public school, "Sorry mommy can't homeschool you until she finishes school herself."

Yes I have been seriously considering homeschooling them.  But I'm going to wait and see how things go with our tax money funded education.  Mari's supportive of homeschooling and even unschooling.  I believe mostly because it is illegal in Brazil and so he wants to exercise his PARENTAL RIGHT here in the US and shove it to the socialists back home. lol.  He's so funny.  I just don't know if it is the right thing for our family but we would try it out if things go sour.  For now, Kaio's super excited to get to ride the school bus with his neighbor friend next year and I think he'd feel disappointed if I kept him home.   

I'm half way through yoga teacher training (already?!). This week we've been guided to turn it up a notch and add meditation, breath work, alternate nostril breathing, yoga toes and chanting on top of our daily asana/poses practice!   Then there is reading and homework.  We're supposed to keep a daily journal too, which I call this blog.  It counts.   

I'm falling behind ---- on  my x-mas shopping. lol.

I love doing the yoga work.  love it love it love it.
