introduction, paint, and pets

When I began writing this blog, I had decided I wanted to stay semi-private for multiple reasons, so I didn't include my real name. However, I've recently decided to go ahead and put my real name out there. So, I wanted to introduce myself to you using my real name:

Hello, everyone. My name is Leslie.

I also want to thank all of you who take the time to read my blog and comment. It really means a lot to me. I truly value my friends and newly found cyber-friends. When I started blogging, I never really expected for it to be a way to connect with others, I mainly just wanted to write. Now, while I still enjoy writing, I enjoy even more hearing from you.

On another note, today we began painting my new small yoga studio space. The yoga room is a calming gray-based lavender (called Celestial Mauve--love that name). The entry room will be a calming green, and the bathroom is lenox tan. Today we were able to completely finish painting the yoga room. Tomorrow more painting of the entry room and bathroom, and later this week we will be laying a new floor in the yoga room. Here's a few photos showing the celestial mauve:

more photos to come...

Lastly, we spent the weekend at my fabulous mom's house, and here are a few pictures. You know how people say dogs start looking like their owners? What do you think?

Seriously, aren't they too cute!?!

Namaste'

Leslie
