Last Day!! I can't believe its already the last day of our yoga retreat. I have been awake since 2am thinking about my wonderful and enlightening time here and what direction my path will take from here. Meditation started and I was happy to quiet my mind and enjoy the orchestra of beautiful sounds going on around me.

Week 4 Day 1!! So it has come to the last week and I can say it has been one amazing ride and I am both excited to finish this week and excited for the next part of my journey. I was up early again and made myself a huge bowl of porridge complete with nuts, Raisens, banana, Cinamon and pumpkin seeds.
