Try. What do you want to try next year? Is there something you wanted to try in 2010? What happened when you did / didn’t go for it?
~December 18 prompt

Hmmm, in 2010 I wanted to bring more dancing back into my life and really, I’ve just not made time for that. Other than the odd lounge-room boogie, that is! Basically, yoga has consumed my down-time this year, not that I’m complaining!

But dance is definitely on the cards for 2011.

In fact, I’ve got a series of ten zumba classes paid for and I plan to start them in early January. I know zumba is one of the latest “crazes” and usually that’s enough of a reason for me to NOT try something. But heck, ten lessons for a bargain price of $37 was good enough for me. I’ll let you know how that goes!

Also, there’s something else I want to try and it’s a bit of a birthday wish of mine (and TODAY is my birthday – it’s also the birthday of Edith Piaf, Jake Mc-Hottie-Gyllenhaal and at least four other people I know in my own life).

I really REALLY want to try to meet up with my very good blog friend Linda-Sama!

We’ve been buddies now for well over a year. Probably longer actually, but I am terrible at keeping count of such things. We’re both straight-talkin’, no BS Kali girls and neither of us are afraid to call a spade a spade. There’s lots of kindred spirit between us and I just know we’d hit it off in person!

Linda is (*fingers crossed*) running a yoga retreat in Bali in May 2011 – and I really wanna go! But there’s a catch: in order for the retreat to go ahead, Linda needs a minimum of six people signed up.

I am one, but the only one so far! And for Linda and I to meet in person this coming year, I need five more wonderful yoga-loving (or even yoga-curious) people to sign on.

Note: It’s not just that I’m excited about meeting Linda, I’m VERY excited about doing some yoga with her too! If you haven’t read her blog before, then you should. She has lots of wonderful things to say about yoga, and from reading her posts, I can tell she’s my kind of yoga teacher with a capital Y and T…

My birthday wish…

So if you wouldn’t mind helping a birthday girl out, my wish is for you to share the news of Linda’s retreat far and wide. Share it with as many people as you can. Heck, sign up yourself if you’re so inclined coz it’d be awesome to meet more than one of my blog buddies at the same time.

We could have a party, yay!! And it would be in Bali, double yay!!

Please: spread the word and make a yogadork happy! 😀

And here’s one way you could help – please download the image below, post it to your blog/website and link the image to Linda’s retreat page. It’d be a whole lotta awesome if you did!
