Sunrise & Siesta's

Quick, catch up post-

How's your weekend going? 
I've been waiting for this one. No appointments scheduled and no work, just time to chill. #BIGWIN

One of my goals for 2018 was to get back into a regular exercise routine and also carve more downtime out for myself. Running two full-time businesses keeps me very busy, but I have hired more  folks to help me and I can finally start to relax again. The weekends are MINE! lol

Don't get me wrong I did take off some in 2017,  and I even managed to exercise and loose some weight. But everything was based on when I could find time, and that was not as often as it should have been. So Saturday I was up early for yoga, meditation and to enjoy the fiery sunrise.

One thing about living in the southwest is the sky, it's rare to see the sunrise or sunset without being moved. It's usually very dramatic and will inspire you, (as it has done for countless artists), to be more creative. If you really take the time to be present, it will also foster an appreciation for nature and our place in it, too.

The sky looked like it was on fire Saturday morning.

One of my friends in Paris sent me a picture this morning of his sunrise in comparison, I'm not gonna post it (because it's not mine) and because it was a dull, gray, overcast day complete with drizzle. Don't get me wrong I love Paris, and I also love rainy weather, *which I miss here. So it's a trade off. 

But I feel truly blessed to enjoy the best of both world.
​(Read between the lines: I will be returning to Europe soon.)

It was cold this a.m. but I braved it to snap these pictures.

 So other than sunrise yoga, my weekend goals are to climb into my new books and practice the art of siestas, lol.

I'm reading the Bloody Baron now.

This is the second and third book in the Anno series. I wrote a review here and told you how much I liked this authors writing style, yeah? Well, when I find an author I really like I proceed to buy everything in their catalogue, so far I'm three in and he hasn't disappointed.

I'll do a proper book review next week, but so far I'm enjoying the book and looking forward to reading more in the series.

Now I'm off for a coffee with a friend in ABQ. I  hope you are enjoying your weekend and find time to watch the sunrise/sunset.
