YAY Olivia! Great that you're keeping up the Yoga :), it makes all your other wellness efforts so much easier. Your mood appears to be more 'up' and you seem more sure of yourself. All good indicators that you are doing the right thing.

Thanks, Patti. I knew you'd be glad. You know I had a chiropractic adjustment a week ago that fixed something in my back so that I could do poses that in the past hadn't felt right. Well, actually they felt hard to do, and I just thought I was inflexible. Turns out that with this adjustment, my body can actually move into the positions and stretch the muscles instead of me pushing in a way that my body wasn't intended to move in. It has made a big difference.

And I've kept up, a lot due to your encouragement. I think you told me that I have to do it for a while to see benefits, and I know this is true, so since I have the support now, I figured I'd go for it!

Yoga is non-negotiable for me each day. Most days I do it at night, actually, and it helps with the tension of the day. It's a lot better for me than a glass of wine, too. No hangover, just feel nice and stretched out!

Thank you so much for your enduring support, Patti!

Hey Olivia, you are sounding so much better today. More upbeat and positive. So good to hear! Good for you with your success on the eating and yoga. The sleep one is a hard issue I reckon. We either sleep well or we don't. Something that can be very hard to control. I know you will keep at it though!

Love ya
Annie

You're welcome, Jessie, but YOU'RE the originator of this! If you hadn't come up with this tremendous opportunity I wouldn't be able to run/walk/stumble/stagger with it now. Thank YOU with love, O
