My busy project continues with deadline #1 met!  This week I've also been playing with unseasonal tropical deluges and urban flooding, and now, insect infestations - termites to be precise.  Just another week in the tropics.

I am a lover of lists.  And this week there have been some wonderful lists in the blogosphere!

• Shiny Yoga posted this moving and beautiful list this week called "How to Plant Your Garden".  The garden of life, that is!
• Tiffany at Moving Meditations had a lovely list of nine things she was thankful for - we could all use to cultivate this kind of gratitude.
• Michelle from The Devil Wears Prana posted a fabulously succinct list of the "Chitta Vritti" or 'mental twists' that can stand in the way of our ego-busting yoga crusade.

And, not to be outdone, our regular list-posters:

• Suburban Yogini brings joy to the web every Thursday with her "Things I love Thursdays",
• And on Fridays, Roseanne from It's All Yoga, Baby, brings us the weekly scoop of what's hot and what's not with yoga in the media!

Do you love lists? What are some of your bloggy lists that you couldn't do without?

I heart our yoga blog community.  Really.  Maybe because I am somewhat starved for company of people who are as obsessed with yoga as I am.  Obsessed? Me? Ummm, yes.  I mean, I keep a blog about yoga.

But then again, so do many of you! :)  Hearts all around.

Anyway here are some posts and blogs that I have recently discovered or recently been enjoying:

• Bab's Babble: There was a lovely post today called "I heart Yoga Because" - so inspirational, it inspired me to heart you all in this post. ;)
• Moving Meditation: Tiffany started blogging this year and I've been enjoying her insights on being a new yoga teacher, and her life in Denver!  For starters, check out this lovely post: "Things I would like to say to my beginner students".  If only all teachers would say these things!!
• Mama Inspired: Juliana is a 'real' writer - and it shows! She writes beautifully about things she is passionate, including her childhood in Brazil and coming to America, her lovely daughter Luna, as well as recently ranting about the future of higher education!
• Foolish Enthusiasm: Alex recently commented on my blog so I checked his out!  He's currently training as a yoga teacher and it's great to hear a voice from the other side of the gender line. ;)  Being not-very-new-media-savvy I have yet to figure out how to comment on his blog... So if anyone has any hints, let me know!
• Svasti: A Journey From Assault To Wholeness: Svasti's blog is huge, complex, honest, fascinating, moving and impossible to take in all at once.  At the moment I'm enjoying her posts sharing her experience about Shadow Yoga - pretty intense, cool stuff.
• Namaste_Heather - Heather is back!  :) :)  That makes me joyful in itself, and then she wrote this lovely post about Effort and Ease, such an important synergy in Yoga (and life!), and one I have been trying to work into my classes since reading it.

Happy Friday everyone!

Yesterday's post was about body image - if you haven't yet, have a look and add your voice in a comment - I'd love to hear your opinions and stories!

And while on the topic of image, last week I had a graphic-design giveaway for 3 commenters on my first post back!

3 lovely yoga blogging ladies have received blog header makeovers, head on over and check them out at:

• Suburban Yogini
• Yoga with Gaileee (she is having some trouble picking a design, so leave your vote here!)
• Damn Good Yoga

Each blogger gave me their original design ideas and elements, and if I do say so, I think they have all turned out great and each header matches the personality of the blog - at least I hope!

Lovely working with you, ladies. :)
