Buena Vista 2014 Lake County Riesling: Wow, a wonderful wildflower bouquet danced up to my nose while I was still swirling the wine! Delicate pale gold in the glass. Flavors of melon, with a touch of acidity at the back of the palette, which was refeshing. Not overtly sweet. Delicious finish, especially for a $20 (Wine Club: $16) wine! If you love Riesling, I challenge you to try this one! 4.5/5 stars #winereview #winetime #whitewine #riesling #mommyloveswine #thewineexperience #boisset

DeLoach 2013 Russian River Valley Zinfandel: Very dark red in the glass. Dark fruit with a bit of spice in the aroma. A touch of leather and blackberry on the palette. Subtle tannins, and a finish I did not. Expect to find at this price point. Wow! Great QPR! 4/5 stars https://my.boissetcollection.com/thewineexperience/wine/2014-russian-river-valley @deloachvineyard #manicmonday #winetime #winereview #wineoclock #redwine #boisset #thewineexperience #idontneedareason #winelover #wine (at Odenton, Maryland)

Tonight's dinner is garlic cod, baked red potatoes, and corn. I paired it with a Buena Vista 2014 Sonoma Chardonnay. Lightly oaked, which means it stood up to the potatoes and did not crush the cod. Delicious! #wineanddine #winelife #whitewine #chardonnay #whatsfordinner #boissetcollection #boisset #thewineexperience (at Odenton, Maryland)

It has been a rough day. I had to get on the mat and do something. Still didn't really feel connected while doing it, but now that it is done, I feel more settled. #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday #yogatime #lovethyself #metime #yoga (at Odenton, Maryland)

Tried a tripod headstand for the first time in a long time today. It was one of my first serious yoga accomplishments. Glad to see I haven't lost it all of the way! #stopdropandyoga @chimama1 I did it! #sdy #yogalove #yogawithkids #headstand #yoga #yogatime #illworkonit #namaste (at Odenton, Maryland)

Wish I could find the time consistently. I guess that's the point. I need to make time.

Why do we have to meditate every day?

It is very simple. Every day you eat; that is why you live on earth. You cannot live on the food you ate yesterday. Similarly, the divine child in us also needs nourishment every day. Every day you have to feed the soul. Meditation means the conscious feeding of our soul. If we eat every day, we become very strong because of our regular nourishment. So also when we meditate every day the soul is being nourished. Then it gets the opportunity to manifest itself better, that is to say, to manifest the Divine on earth. This is why daily meditation is necessary.

Finished Day 6 of the 30 day yoga challenge! It was short but intense! It was core centric, which is the area on my body I'm most self conscious about after two kids in 2 years! @peacelovemiesje still have my #teeki leggings! #namaste #yogawithkids #yogawithadriene #yoga #yogalove #justdoit #stickwithit #fitmom #core #feeltheburn #teekigirl #teekipants

We did a detox sequence after the day 5 sequence. This was my favorite part! These standing twists really made me feel strong! #namaste #yogawithadriene #yogatime #yoga #justdoit #twist #strength
