Dear OM's Yoga Instructor:
For future reference, please refrain from endlessly speaking during shavasana pose. If you must speak, please refrain from describing class members as any form of dessert consisting of many disgusting layers (OM nearly puked at the mention of Cool Whip -- eww).
Sincerely,
OM
P.S. Namaste
I began the layout for this blog in April 2008. I planned on blogging about life as an educated, intentionally unemployed stay-at-home mom. I never wrote a word. In November 2008, my fourth child was born still. Because I lost my precious baby girl, my blog specifically evolved into: life after losing a child to stillbirth. P.S. Four months later, add cancer to the subject matter.

that's hilarious and disturbing. xo
??? I don't do yoga... Can someone elaborate? Sound funny though :-)

Shavasana pose is at the very end (also called corpse pose). It's a time to let your practice settle in as you lay on your mat (I never know when to use lie/lay and I'm too lazy to check now). :)
Not knowing anything about yoga (even with the description of the pose) this sounds disturbing... Is it at least a good dessert?
Cool whip? Yuck!
Oh my gosh, that is hilarious... not being there, but hearing about it!!!
i think I'm having the giggles, it's wonderful to giggle with you guys!

IMO, nothing with Cool Whip is good. Real whipped cream is necessary. However, at the end of yoga, I don't enjoy hearing about any culinary cuisine. :)
I've done it. I've tagged you for an award! xxxxxx
OM,
After reading your Life Events, it is clear that you have been through quite a lot. I'm so sorry for your loss (I know, how many times have you heard that before?). In all seriousness, I never realized that there were so many women out there going through same pain as me. If it wasn't for this incredibly supportive network, I don't know where I would be.
Last year, I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and had severe (throat got swollen and couldn't breath!) allergic reactions to BOTH medications for it. That's why they offered me a Thyroidectomy and the radioactive treatment. I opted for the treatment, and have been Hypo. since. Having to pop a pill for the rest of my life isn't exactly my cup of tea.
So in the smallest way, I know what you might be going through. I will keep you and your family in my prayers! God Bless.

All I can say is so very weird that jello mold came up in normal conversation, let alone during meditation, but all I can say is her chi is on shaky ground. GET IT? Shaky. Jello mold.
All right, I'll go back to my stupid life. With love.
WTF.
