Gift Guide: Yogi

The holidays are rapidly approaching, and you know what that means – it’s time to buy presents! I will be posting a weekly gift guide for different topics, interests, and types of people. I know that there are gift guides galore out there, so I’m trying to provide a more specific approach and avoid adding just another gift guide. Today I’m providing gifts for (you guessed it) yogis, or those who practice yoga!

Yoga Outlet was actually kind enough to send me the Marika Kickit Legging, and I love them. They’re so comfortable and perfect for doing yoga, going for a walk, or running errands. Once they arrived, I put them on immediately and didn’t want to take them off! And Yoga Outlet is a great place. They have so many different yoga necessities, and some of the links in this post go to Yoga Outlet for that category. I really recommend them to anyone looking for good yoga clothing and accessories without breaking the bank.

    I absolutely love this! I really like the long tank tops for working out/barre classes. There is nothing worse than pulling at your clothes and missing part of the workouts!

The most common question I get about sharing my ex The most common question I get about sharing my experience with chronic illness is "How do you deal with it?" These 3 quotes are sources of inspiration and indicative of how I do it. ⁣
⁣
1. "Guard your time fiercely. Be generous with it, but be intentional about it." - Davd Duchemin⁣
I am SO intentional with my time. Even when I (rarely) do spur-of-the-moment fun things, I'm doing mental calculations of how to make it happen. ⁣
⁣
2. "Find out who you are and do it on purpose." - Dolly Parton⁣
That's what my blog and advocacy work is. I figured out who I am: someone who helps other patients, who shares her story, who tries to change the world. And I'm doing it on purpose. ⁣
⁣
3. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but power, love, and self-discipline." - 2 Timothy 1:7 ⁣
I will be afraid some times (we all will) but my spirit is not one of fear or timidity. My spirt of power, love, and self-discipline enables me to keep fighting for myself and others. ⁣
