“hope her wings don’t fail her now.”

so, i’m driving to the studio this morning, and it’s so overcast, and for whatever reason it’s making people drive unbearably slow. i am situated behind a turtle of a driver trying to practice my patience when i decide the real problem is how utterly bored i am. so i decide to randomly shout in my car, “THIS IS SO BORING!!!!!! BORING BORING BORING” outloud. great idea!!!!!!! as soon as i heard my voice aloud, i remembered what interests me most – -  MY FEMUR BONES. here’s the deal – i’m a vocalist, and i’ve got to tell you, since practicing yoga at Boundless, I have discovered that my femurs are fascinating. As are yours, I promise. so i shout to myself in the car “BORING BORING BORING!” (which in and of itself is amusing) and i get to (YAY) hear my own voice. (i highly recommend you talk aloud to yourself and listen. there is a goldmine of information about your body in what you will hear.) what did i hear this morning????

i heard a little grey, a little cloudy-ness. and i cleaned it right up by relocating my femurs in their sockets by engaging my quads and softening my calf muscles. and squeezing my butt a little, fine i admit it. before i knew it – i was belting out this song (cue youtube link) : how it feels to fly by alicia keys, key lyrics of interest: “i hope my wings dont fail me now.”

i hope your wings don’t fail you now, on this and any cloudy day. stay un-boring by being interested in yourself and your body and your voice. for inspiration come to my yoga class on sundays at 4 pm!!! i will teach you everything i’ve learned from james foulkes and kim weeks about my femurs and my butt. i want you belting out beautiful lyrics at the top of your voice!! xox kelly
