Love, Love, Love

One of my favorite things to do for awhile now is finding positive quotes. It's one of the reasons that I wanted to start blogging again. I wanted to share what I found with others. Quotes or personal mantras have a way to bringing the mind back to a positive mindset at any moment.
I found some amazing ones on dailyburn.com, and I wanted to share these with you along with a paired mudra. As I think about these each week, I want you to know how much consideration I put into these. I hope these set you up for weekly successes in all avenues of your life.


***By the way, if you aren't yet acquainted with Gabrielle Bernstein, I highly recommend looking her up. She is a self proclaimed 'spirit junkie'. Her work has impacted my life.

For the first manta, I recommend the Gyan Mudra (used for insight or knowledge). It's probably the most recognized. Simply touch the tips of your thumb and forefinger together while keeping the remaining three fingers extended.

The second mantra is a bit lengthy for meditating on, but if you want to give it a shot, I'd recommend the Buddhi Mudra (used for internal dialogue). You perform this mantra by touching the pink and thumb together while extending the other three fingers.

Please let me know how you like these. Have a fantabulous week.


Peace & Love,

Nikki

Living Tiny

Image
Hello, hello! I hope your week (so far) has been grand. It is the Lunar New Year. We have now entered the Year of the Pig, which is supposed to be a lucrative year. Pigs are good with money. Here's hoping. ;) Last week, I talked about what lead up to my husband Ray and I purchasing a bus to convert to a tiny home. As I mentioned, we previously owned 2 conventional homes. After moving out of our house in San Antonio and into a 2 bedroom apartment (1 bedroom which was ours), we had already begun the process of removing unnecessary items from our life. When I say unnecessary, I'm referring to (for example) camping gear we were using every so often and my many, many books. Items like this were taking up space, and we didn't need them every day in our life. Moving into the bus, we had to purge even more. We had to get rid of clothes. I got rid of all of my journals that I had been writing in since I was 12.  Instead, I took pictures of the pages so I could save them in a ...

That’s Me

I want to start by introducing myself. Call me Nikki. (Reference to Moby Dick, which I haven’t read all the way through.😜) My husband and I have been married 14 years. Let me tell you, a lot happens in 14 years. For one, I found my passions and drive to work with others. (Thankful for this.) Let me start with what got me to that point. I’ve always had some meat on my bones, and I’ve always had a butt. (Thankful for this too.) I have an hour glass shape, and when I gain weight, it usually goes to my butt and thighs first. It was incredibly frustrating to find clothes that got over my hips but also fit my waist. Elasticity plays a big role here. This picture is the one evening I went to roller derby training. When I first got into fitness, it was purely to change how my body looked. (Dare I say, I wanted to be thinner and weigh less.) Soon enough, I realized the power of fitness on my mind and emotions. Once I noticed changes in my body, I wanted more. I started to look at ...

Thinking Tiny

Image
A year and a half ago, my husband and I purchased a transit/shuttle bus in Katy, TX. As soon as I saw her, I knew she'd be the one we'd convert to our tiny home. She's 30 feet in length with a storage space in the back and large windows that I thought were perfect for daylight to come in and for us to peer out. The thing that steered me to this type of bus was the ceiling height and width of the bus. I wanted my husband to comfortably walk in the bus without hunching over, and I wanted a space large enough for my yoga asana practice. My husband Ray likes the type of engine she has, a Cummins - a diesel similar to the one he had in his Dodge pickup. He was familiar with it and knew how well it would run. Plus, she had hardly any mileage. We purchased our bus for $6,700 then she was ours - our Gypsy Rose Bus. The decision to go tiny was not one we jumped into. It took owning two homes and wrestling with a recession before we even considered going tiny. When we first ...
