A baby smiles between 50-70 times a day, and a toddler approximately 600 times according to research (!)
I’m sure some of us have asked ourselves where that smile goes.
What robs us of it?

– Goldie Hawn

I had never been a fan of Goldie Hawn, having assumed she’s a ditzy frothy air-headed blonde but I think I was wrong.
Like so many things, things are not as they appear – the proverbial, “never judge a book by its cover” lesson.

Anyway, what’s the answer? It’s a multiple choice test:)

A. Stress
B. Judgement/Prejudice
C. Fear
D. Aging – hardened arteries, hardened heart.
E. None of the Above.
F. All the Above.
G. Some combo – you tell me. Oh, yes, I forgot another one, i.e., “guilt”.

Was a bit surprised with this and took notice of the opener that said the stop will be “brief’… still, impressed with Fukushima version of “Happy”… :

So A-F; Stress; Judgement; Fear; Aging process or that de-ja-vu auto-pilot mode…and maybe feelings of guilt (How could I be smiling when so and so is suffering so much) I believe that with yoga, you can address them all. I feel compelled to share that belief so we can all be more “happy” … and hope that even at times of distress or misery…even in that “mud”, we can appreciate the lotus flower blossoming like a smile.

Entertainment… “Say it from right HERE with some s-o-u-l!” SO funny and relevant.

It’s with humor I bring this up but the belly or “hara” is the epicenter for your strength. This is known in martial arts whether in Karate or Aikido, etc. In restorative, with rest and digest mode, you really regain your strength; bouncing back from any setbacks – but first, you have to really really release and let go.

(Hope show of their gun does not offend anyone – I am for gun-control – the kind of success model in Australia could be adopted in US to save so many innocent lives…)

“Tonight’s full moon is called a supermoon because it can appear super-sized. That’s because its orbit is slightly closer to the Earth than usual.

According to NASA, the “super” in supermoon is used just because of its appearance of being closer to us.”

Defy gravity or surrender? We can find the harmony within as we look up at the night’s sky. Evening stroll after dinner last night – so BIG. So beautiful. So blessed.
