feel good friday

Staying with the latest theme of passion and women of a certain age, I am repeating this post (hey, recycling is always good!) from July. Good videos get lost as they move down the line and I’ve been thinking of Cyndi’s version of this song lately, a song written by another vibrant, creative, fabulous woman of a certain age. As a performer and woman, Cyndi has definitely evolved and moved beyond her original persona. Would that a certain pop queen of late do the same….Brit honey, here’s a tip…life really DOES get better as we age and gather wisdom, it’s just gonna take ya some time, but you’ll get there!

“Before Britney was a Pop Queen, there were singers like Cyndi Lauper — yes, I mean Cyndi Lauper who sang “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” I remember being blown away by Cyndi’s cover of Joni Mitchell’s song “Carey” in a television tribute to Joni. I found the video on YouTube and was blown away again as I watched Cyndi become one with the song…everything comes together in a perfect musical moment. Cyndi has total connection to the music, to her band, to herself, and to the moment. The look on her face when she dances is the way I feel when you hit that sweet spot in vinyasa and you feel like you’re the only one in the room and it all comes together, body-mind-spirit.”

Feel good on Friday, y’all!

Be peace and be here now.

Crone power!

Standing Women

A book for any woman who thinks she can’t save the world…”Sharon Mehdi has been prodded by spirit several times in her life to make what she calls journeys of faith….”

I love that phrase “prodded by spirit.” As Sri Krishnamacharya said, “yoga is about life.”

Crone Chronicles

“Crone” is identified as the third aspect of the ancient Triple Goddess: Maiden/Mother/Crone. Crone symbolizes the wisdom present in a woman of any age, but which usually becomes stronger as she grows older….

The patriarchal culture’s valuation of the female is based on the youthful beauty of her bodily appearance, her ‘image.’ By this measure, the older a woman becomes, the less she is valued….”

Does anyone see a theme here? NEVER underestimate the power of the older woman!

Those of you with blogs probably already have a “site meter” where you can check to see who reads your blog. I usually check on the location of my hits and today I found the search criteria “women n@ked yoga pictures” from San Francisco, California. That’s not the first time that someone has searched for “n*ked yoga” or “n%ked yoga woman”!

Let’s have some artfully done photos of n*ked yoga crones of a certain age a la Calendar Girls! Imagine the expressions on the faces of the searchers for n*ked yoga pics when they get an eyeful of a 75 year old n&ked yoga crone who is not ashamed of her body…:)

they’re not NAKED YOGA BABES, but for all guys googling for “NAKED YOGA”, “NAKED YOGA CHICKS”, “SKINNY YOGA CHICKS”, “HOT YOGA BABES” or some variation thereof, here ya go! take a good look, boys! C’mon guys, show these dudes your downward facing dogs! kisses!
