First day of fall, on the beach!

The Jersey shore locals know how to celebrate the first day of fall...relaxed out on their beach chair on the beach!  Lammer and I spent the day on Ocean Grove's beach today.  He was in and out of the water surfing with his friends while I was soaking up every last ray of sunlight before it gets too cold!  

On the way to Ocean Grove we spotted a woman selling sliced fresh fruits in a cup...papaya, watermelon, mango, coconut, cucumbers and jicama.  Even though it looked divine only a few of the fruits were palatable...it's no longer their season!  

I packed a jar full of water with a splash of apply cider vinegar, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice.  Zing!

Home, the Beautiful Jersey Shore

Today I was overwhelmed at how much I love where I live.  The Jersey Shore is so special to me for so many reasons.  It's beautiful.  It's vacationland all year round.  It's home.  I only hope that others feel as grateful as I do to live where they do.  

Sassy!

My boyfriend teases me saying that I'm "sassy."  The first few times it bothered me and made me feel bad - that maybe I needed to work on being sweeter.  But the more I thought about it I realized, yea, I am sassy and love it!  Guess it's the Jersey shore gal in me that's got a bite to my personality.  Instead of harping on the negative and consider ways to change aspects of my personality that others may or may not particularly like, I want to embrace my sassiness and confidently own it.  

It's what makes me who I am!  What's more sassy than that?  

SASSY:  Lively, bold, and full of spirit; cheeky.

Jersey Shore GLOBAL MALA: September 18th, Sea Bright, NJ

On Sunday, September 18th, 2011, we'll be getting our yoga on for an awesome cause at Sea Bright Beach from 4pm - 7pm for this year's GLOBAL MALA. Global Mala is an annual event to bring all yoga studios and their communities together as ONE in celebration of peace. I'll be teaching at this year's event, where we'll flow through 108 rounds of sun salutations on the Sea Bright boardwalk over the gorgeous ocean, under the setting sun! For this particular Global Mala all proceeds will go to Clean Ocean Action.

Please purchase your ticket here. And don't let the 108 sun salutations scare you. Come to this event with an open mind and only do what you're comfortable with (unless you want a challenge!). There's no judgement in yoga, so you can relax in child's pose or take a water break whenever you need one throughout the practice. It will be a beautiful event, so I encourage you to come!
