Baby & Mom keeping good!

Pratyahara (pronounced pratya-haara) is a sanskrit word, which essentially means “seeking one’s inner-self” or “return to self”. In yoga, it is the transition between the inner-world and the outer-world (so, balanced 😉 ).

    Hey Ruii, thanks for the wishes and comments 🙂

    Most babies often smile in their sleep…and what a generous smile they give! And the top three explanations to this being : they are having dreams, they are playing with angels, they are passing gas! Well, we are ok as long as it makes us feel he is happy. 😀

    It is difficult to steal time for embroidery during these days, as much as I want to. Yet, let me try to keep the embroidery pages updated whenever possible. Thanks for the interest shown! 🙂
