It’s Nicole from class. Keep on writing. I love hearing your thoughts. I’m curious about your book, too. I’ve got a little blog myself that I’m struggling to update, but maybe we can motivate one another. See you soon.

I am patriotic but definetly not political. I don’t believe that any of the political parties are doing much good for the country.

Who the hell gave anyone the right to label one patriotic or unpatriotic? If you pay your taxes, don’t break any laws and partake in the Democratic process.Thank you for sharing!

think it is fair to say that for the last 7 years or so, being an American across the world has not been a desired identity. Not only across the world, but if you disagreed with American politics within America then you were seen as unpatriotic

“We had turned a technique for God realization,” she writes, “that had, at various points in time, enjoined its adherents to reduce their diet to rice, milk, and a few vegetables, fix their minds on a set of, to us, incomprehensible syllables, and self-administer daily enemas (without the benefit of equipment), to name just a few of its prerequisites, into an activity suitable for children.”

President Obama brings pride and hope in being an American and a reclamation to what it means to be American and patriotic.

Roll it out to your desired consistency.  (I did some thick and some pretty thin and decided that I liked thicker better.)Then cut it out (I used a parchment template) so that it fits around the cuppie.

But now, President Obama brings pride and hope in being an American and a reclamation to what it means to be American and patriotic.

Patriotism is easy to understand in America; it means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country.—Calvin Coolidge.

I remember celebrating the 4th of July at a yoga retreat and the teacher talked about how this is our America just as much theirs (referring to the Bush administration and Republican values), yet we all felt so anti-American.

For when you stop to think about it, patriotism has done more to stack the corpses millions high in the last 300 years than any other factor, including the prodigious slayer, religion.

A lot of specialists argue that home loans aid people to live the way they want, just because they are able to feel free to buy needed stuff. Furthermore, different banks give college loan for different classes of people.

I am Patriotic

I’ve just listened to the now President Obama deliver his inaugural speech. I sat with my wife and six month old with tears in my eyes for the future beauty in our lives. A promise not only for us, but also for our children and their children. We feel the hope as we look out over the 2 million people gathered in Washington and the millions more around the world watching with anticipation of hope rather than fear. It’s time for a real change and it’s happening now.

In President Obama’s speech he had a central theme that connected us – our country, America. I think it is fair to say that for the last 7 years or so, being an American across the world has not been a desired identity. Not only across the world, but if you disagreed with American politics within America then you were seen as unpatriotic. But now, President Obama brings pride and hope in being an American and a reclamation to what it means to be American and patriotic.

A few years ago, I remember celebrating the 4th of July at a yoga retreat and the teacher talked about how this is our America just as much theirs (referring to the Bush administration and Republican values), yet we all felt so anti-American. How were we to celebrate the independence of America? Were we patriotic? What does that mean? Why can’t disagreeing with the patterns and behaviors of a politic mean that you are not a member of the country? After all, aren’t we a democracy rather than a dictatorship?

Yoga has an agenda and part of that agenda is not inventing things that already exist, but reclaiming them in new ways and perspectives. We’ve all felt the transformations of yoga in our bodies and the spill over into our diets, philosophies, views and consciousness. We started reclaiming ourselves the moment we began yoga, but we must constantly be willing to reclaim ourselves as we advance our yoga.

It is hard to look at yourself and who you are, who’ve you become, and be willing to constantly redefine yourself. It’s like a marriage. The problem with marriage is not the institution of it, since it is actually one of the most beautiful unions, but rather the marriage represents an ending rather than a beginning. We found and developed the love and now that we are married we don’t have to cultivate it anymore. Except the very reason a marriage works and lasts is because each person chooses to recommit, to redefine, to reclaim their love everyday. It is not the obligation of the certificate (which is legal) that holds a marriage together, but the constant choice to define your love. Well your life is no different. Everyday you have to wake up and be willing to reclaim who you are, even if that means you have to shift the perspective because who’ve you become is no longer in alignment to what you believe or value.

I feel very proud to be an American right now. I’m very proud to be a yogi because like our President reminded me today I need to look at myself everyday and reclaim myself and my own constitution as the my conscious choices to be better, not just for me but for my wife and child and all of our futures.
