Speaking of delicious...If you love a good farmers market (and I know many of you do), come visit me and my friend Jordan at the Rainbow Gardens (off Thousand Oaks) this Saturday, October 4, from 10 am to 2 pm for the Sprout’n About SA Market!

Throughout the class I noticed little bursts of giggles between them… the daughter rolling her eyes dramatically as her mom toughed it out. I couldn’t help but smile, because that was me in 2004, sitting next to my own mom in a hot yoga studio in San Antonio. After class, I bumped into them again and felt compelled to share my story.
