<p>You may recall that on <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/01/15/day-112-will-you-take-the-chakra-challenge-with-me/" target="_blank">Day 112</a></strong> I embarked on a project within this 365 day project:  The Chakra Challenge at <a href="http://www.yogatoday.com"><strong>www.yogatoday.com</strong></a><strong>.</strong>  I need to complete all 7 classes by the end of February in order to be entered into a drawing for a free month of yoga.  I don't really care about the free month, as I already to subscribe to Yoga Today.</p>

<p>In fact...now that I think of it...if I DO win, I will happily gift my free month to one of YOU!  I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to do that. </p>

<p>My intent upon rising up to the challenge was to<span style="text-decoration: line-through;"> kick</span> gently guide my chakras into gear for the New Year.   If you are thinking, "Chakra??

<p>If I had only concentrated on my blog, my dog, my friends, but...that's not always realistic, my friends. </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>And I have a tendency to be deemed by others as "unrealistic".  Although I prefer the term "idealistic" or "dreamer" or "open". </p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>

<p>Oh, well.  I have my blog, my dog, my friends &amp; fam, and Yoga Today. </p>
