Yoga Love: A New Year

   Happy New Year Everyone!! As cliche as it may be to say, time flies when you are having fun or in graduate school praying that you graduate on time. Thank heavens I did graduate on time and debt free. To all students still undergoing the struggle, may the odds be ever in your favor.

   
                                                                                

   For the next month I am participating in two different yoga challenges that are being hosted by various yogis on Instagram. These daily postings help to get me back in the habit of a daily yoga routine. It is far too easy to hibernate all winter long in my cozy bed instead of hitting the gym and yoga mat. Thankfully, a dear friend of mine and I have started lifting together and practicing Tae Kwon Do again. Flipping tires in 45 degree weather is much more bearable when you have a buddy who is working their ass off right along side you. 

    It has been a year since my cadaver ACL transplant and my knee just keeps getting better and better. Dr. Cochran gave me the gift of a second chance and I intend to lead a very active and joy filled life. Squats, running, jumping, etc. are so much easier and pain free now thanks to my cadaver ACL. It was a year of hardships, pain, and a wonderful recovery. Cheers to the road ahead!

A New Chapter


   
    Lord bless this mess that I do not want to clean. The one downside to cooking at home so often is that the dishes do not wash themselves. It is also Christmas vacation which doesn't help me to want to be a domestic goddess.

    I am happy to say that I have finally graduated with my M.S. in Criminal Justice Administration on December 13 and have been very happily sleeping in since. Several weeks before graduation I was offered an adjunct teaching position with UTPB with the Criminology department. This will be a great jumping off point until I can find my dream job within the Federal Law Enforcement sector.

   I hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas!!
