YOGA: UPWARD FACING PIG

Each morning, I practice yoga with Raj and Taj Mahal, who think yoga is Sanskrit for "chase each other and run as fast as you can around your little cardboard house, then relax in Sivasana before fresh veggie breakfast."

Mom joins us, too, when she is able. She gave me this lavendar sheet for my very own yoga mat! Hers is bright orange, as you might recall from the time she used an egg-timer to bring her out of Sivasana in time for a doctor's appointment and it was also the last time because when it went off she nearly went into cardiac arrest. We could've told you mom, that it was not a good idea, but do you ever listen to us?
Still...
Mom says I'm doing beautiful yoga asanas, especially difficult, advanced forward stretches involving wheat grass!

Namaste,
YogiYumYum
P.S. We saw how yoga toes are supposed to look in her magazine and mom said mine were the BEST YOGA TOES!

GUINEA PIGS CONFESS: WE ARE "GLEEKS!" GUINEA-GLEEKS! WE ARE PROUD TO WATCH GLEE AND SING OUR PIGGIE SONGS!

Dear Readers,

We do not have a T.V. but we can watch "GLEE" with mom on the laptop, which has a wide screen and our Auntie Ann (Dom-Dom's Mom) sent us speakers! So now, we watch, we laugh, and - most of all, we sing!

This song is special to us because we are all rescues, once surrendered or just dropped off by "owners"
who did not want us.  This leaves a lasting wound of sadness in a little guinea pig's heart, always wondering
what was so unlovable about us that nobody wanted us anymore...until NOW!

SO, when this episode of "GLEE!" came on and Mercedes sang this song to the entire high school in
defiance of the cheerleading coach, we all walked proudly onto the gym floor with her, and we sang, too, as loud as we could!  With pride!  We regained our self-respect and enjoyed having been invited onto the set
and filmed with the rest of the cast.  You can't see us because we are little and the camera would have had
to pan the gym floor and show everybody's sneakers for us to be visible in the scene. But there we were,
and to this day we wake up singing, as we hope you all will, "I AM BEAUTIFUL" because:

we are. each and every one of us, large and small, all beautiful in every single way, like the song says!

MAY WE SEE THE BEAUTY WITHIN THE EYES OF ALL GOD'S CREATURES, AND LOVE LIKE WE HAVE NEVER LOVED BEFORE. BECAUSE THAT, DEAR FRIENDS, IS BEAUTIFUL!

YumYum Out AND LOVING IT!

Glee : Beautiful: SOMETIMES WE SING THIS TOGETHER AT THE SANCTUARY, NOT KNOWING WHY WE WEREN'T WANTED ONCE, KNOWING WE ARE LOVED NOW.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL AND SO AM I!
