"Spaced Out"

Space was the theme of the June ScribeDelivery Box.   How perfect is that for this Houston girl?  Check out that Space Shuttle notebook!

(Note:  I do not get any special compensation from them, I just want to pass along an opportunity to support a US/Texas-based company of two people with a great idea.)  

We all know the curated monthly box subscriptions are all the rage now -- Paper Pumpkin from Stampin' Up, Art Box, Art Snacks, even dinner.  It reminds me of the National Handcraft Society Craft of the Month Club from the 70's - of which I still have some of the things I made from their small book-sized mailing box.  They were very creative. My Mom belonged, but I would open the box and make the projects.  They were just sitting there.  Remember twice a day mail delivery?!
Who doesn't like getting neat things in the mail and a surprise you know you will like, too!

I've been a Scribe subscriber (haha!) for the past four months and I have to say each one gets even better.  If you like paper products, pens, pencils...you should give them a try.  Also if you like to draw or are an artist you will be very happy with them.   The items they include are perfect and often you can't find them in the stores.  Hello blacklight Gelly Roll pen!  The items encourage portable creativity, too.  I can just slip one of the pads and pens/pencils in my purse and be ready for any unexpected artistic sketching opportunity or to jot down thoughts for life in general or a book.  I've always found that if you have cool tools, you tend to want to use and find ways to use them more.

Check out their website and sign up for the next box opening.  They only get limited amounts of the goodies and often only have a few openings available.

What I Like Wednesday - YogaGlo

Thanks to lunch with a friend (shout out to Inge!) and commiserating about a lack of convenient and good yoga classes for 40+ year olds nearby,  she told me about YogaGlo.  For about the cost of one class, you can get unlimited monthly classes to enjoy in the privacy of your own home/studio or on the road.   

There are over 2,500 classes in all styles -- Hatha, Yin, Vinyasa, and more, and they are organized on your home page by Body, Mind and Heart.  I like how you can search by whatever criteria - looking for a Morning wake-up?  An Evening/Sleep preparation?  Afternoon pick-me-up?  Grounding and calming Meditation and breath work?   It's all here.  

And no more excuses.   There are 5 minute classes, 15, 20, 30, 45 minutes to one hour.  

I also enjoy the variety of teachers and I learn something new to benefit my practice and my body each time.   You will have fun discovering different ones, but to get you started, check out Steven Espinosa, Kathryn Budig,  Felicia Tomasko, Amy Ippoliti, Stephanie Snyder and Sally Kempton.
