Memories in a Moment...

I recently watched an amazing video montage where a guy took all of his photos from his 365 Project and put them together with narration. It was beautiful. It made me cry. It inspired me to attempt this project for myself.

So here I go! I invite you to join me over the next 365 days as I take and post a photo from my day cataloging the memories, the beauty, the excitement, the mundane, the ordinary and the inspiration that makes up A Day In The Life Of Jocelyn... I am calling this project "Memories in a Moment..."

DAY 1: July 1, 2011

Yoga...

If you know me well at all you know that for the last 2 1/2 years yoga has been a tremendous part of my life. It has helped heal my back and keep me sane. When we moved here I was very worried that I was not going to find a yoga studio where I felt at home. I love my yoga studio in Folsom, Zuda yoga. Finding a studio fairly close to home is just about as important to me as finding the right church.

I tried out the studio that is only a minute up the street from our new house. I got an unlimited monthly membership because it is so close. However, I was starting to get a little down because I wasn't feeling very challenged. It's not a heated studio and it's not really power yoga, like I'm used to. It's more of the kind of yoga that most people think about when they visualize yoga. It's very gentle, with a lot of stretching and quiet music. I like true power yoga because it definitely is an aerobic exercise. It will be nice to go to the one up the street when I'm tired after work and don't want to drive very far, but I was feeling like I needed to keep looking.

This week I found my new yoga home in Berkeley! CorePower Yoga is almost exactly like Zuda. I may even go as far as to say that it could be better! I've done 2 classes there so far and have been thoroughly challenged. The rooms are hotter than at Zuda, anywhere from 95-100 degrees. I took a YogaSculpt class the other day where weights are used while practicing. It was very challenging. Tomorrow I'm going to try a spin + yoga class! They even have discounts for teachers. I haven't decided whether I'll get an unlimited monthly membership there to or whether I'll just buy blocks of classes. But I have decided that CorePower Yoga ROCKS!!

Sacramento Smackramento...

I've started saying this to Layton every time we're doing something particularly fun in the bay area or in the City, or just anytime that I start to feel REALLY blessed because of our new adventure. Here are just a few photos of why I feel Sacramento is already starting to become a distant memory :)

The beautiful views we have only that are only a 5 minute walk from our house

Beautiful places to spend the day outside exploring

The fact that the City is only a bus ride away so I can spend an entire day exploring

Let's say it together..."Sacramento Smackramento"

Goodbye old...hello new...

I haven't blogged in the last month because I was very busy saying goodbye to the old and hello to the new. In the past month I have...

...emptied one house

...filled another

...said goodbye to one job

...and hello to another

...got pink hair

...rode in a stretch Hummer limo and went to a U2 concert

...tried out a new yoga studio and a new church

The last month has been full of many different emotions, but the one emotion that has over-shadowed them all is overwhelming JOY that I get to spend every day with Layton again. I am so excited to see where this next adventure takes us.

CHEERS TO STARTING NEW ADVENTURES!
