I just absolutely love Yoga...

I just went to the library and got some books on yoga. The first one is The Yoga Body Diet by Kristen Schultz Dollard and John Douillard, DC, PhD. The second is Real Men Do Yoga by John Capouya and the final book I got is Slim Calm Sexy Yoga by Tara Stiles.

I'm especially excited to read the book by Tara Stiles because I have subscribed to her podcasts on iTunes and I love her! Her methods aren't too preachy and about philosophy and too much meditation. But its really a a help to people who really want the benefit of yoga for the body and tips on maintaining a healthy yogi lifestyle without getting too much into the spiritual part of it.

Even though yoga is about the connection of mind, body and spirit, I choose to do that on my own. I'm still trying to figure out my own spirituality so its good to have her videos to help guide me to great routines that help me get into shape.

I am liking the Yoga Body Diet because I really need to start taking care of my body and watching the things I put into it. So that should help me out.

Real Men Do Yoga is just out of curiousity and seems pretty interesting. I'm intrigued to hear what it has to say about the male perspective in yoga. Usually all I see is women. So that should be an interesting read!!!

Also my MacBook charger broke again so no computer for me. :( oh well. It'll give me more time to read!

The Vast Fields of Ordinary

By Nick Burns and ultimately turned into one of my favorite books. It was so touching yet eerie at the same time. I loved it. Exciting yet thrilling as well. I couldn't put it down. Kind of depressing and heart breaking the ending was and the book just left me thinking. Nick is soo vivid in his writing that it sent chills down my spine. Literally.

The book is about a boy named Dade Hamilton who leads a pretty normal suburban teen angst life. He has a sorta kinda boyfriend who hardly acknowledges his existence but is kinda obsessed with him but also has a girlfriend. Super complicated. Its a really good coming-of-age/coming out story with scary twists and turns that is new but relevant in teenagers lives these days. He meets all kinds of people that are all the wrong crowds especially a boy named Alex. Which is such a touching part of the story and I couldn't help but love Alex. There is also news reports of a missing girl Jenny which was so terrifying, I felt like I saw her for myself.

The Vast Fields of Ordinary is an inspiring novel about romance, life, mystery and death. I finished the book wanting more and there's definitely something in the book that I want to keep with me. I'm thinking about buying the book myself since I checked it out form the library. I always want to buy stuff that I really like.

It even inspired me to write a book myself. A coming of age tale maybe. I'm not much of a writer but I'm always looking for more gateways to express my creativity.

I give the book 5 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend it.
