That has to be one of my favorite parts...

Yay for gifts and angels!
The other day I received two packages filled with yoga stuff, thanks to my mom. They consisted of red yoga pants (I’ve been dying for these for a while now), mat cleaner, yoga socks, and a book on angels. First off, thank you, mom! These will definitely be used!
Second off, I’ve been skimming through the angel book and it’s extremely interesting. I’ve been hearing a lot of...

And the woman teaching it is the same one who taught us about the chakras on Sunday. She’s so amazing and has been giving me all this information about intuitive development.
