Our Emails Immediately After our First Date on August 12, 2010 at Starbucks

the sharing of and over a cup of coffee...

August 13, 2010 12:38 am... Bonnie, it's obviously too late to be sending you a text but I wanted to take a moment and thank you again for a lovely evening. While I felt like I did entirely too much of the talking I still thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. It's pretty rare that I can find someone to talk with so casually and openly across such a broad spectrum of topics. With your kind permission, we will definitely have to get together again sometime soon. Thanks again and God bless! (And sweet dreams!)
August 13, 2010 6:43am... Commodore, I had so much fun last night...I totally didn't want it to end Yes, I would very much like to see you again...and my sister and I are planning on coming to your church on Sunday...I hope you have an awesome day and I look forward to talking to you soon!Bonnie :)

MY 45 POSES

This is my life in 45 yoga poses...many of these I have been practicing consistently for a while...some are new ones I want to implement...my focus in my practice is to calm and stimulate the mind and stretch and massage the spine as these are areas that need the most work in my body...of course these poses work so much more than these two areas...poses one through three are my restorative poses that I insert whenever I need a breather and a massage to my spine...there is an * next to any pose that can be done while visiting with someone without seeming rude and at the end there are poses that can be done in bed, in a comfy chair, on the couch and in the car so that stretching can be done in many situations... I start my sequences on number four...MAKE SURE THAT IN IMPLEMENTING ANY EXERCISE PRACTICE THAT YOU ARE LISTENING TO YOUR BODY AND NOT FORCING ANYTHING...
