How does that cliche go, those who matter don't mind, and those who mind... they don't matter. Sounds like you're in the best place in the world right now. Keep me posted!!!

King's in NYC) feeds and nourishes me more than one every night that barely touches the surface of 'good times' like I used to have before I embraced my current lifestyle. Moreover, I am almost embarrassed to tell people where I attend yoga classes. It is expensive. It is all for this one instructor really. But I am no longer hesitant becuase I realized there are many other things I have stopped doing in order to go there. It is about choices. Freedom is a choice and comes with needing less because you are wanting more to live. ~a. david,
