Saar. 24. Travels. Writes. Does that make her a travel-writer? Not just yet. Loves to bring all her beloved ones, earthly and heavenly creatures, along on her trip. Will try to do so by dropping notes, posting pictures, videos, writing stories. A.k.a.: sharing her experiences. Don't feel like reading from a screen? Just wait for the book to get published! (*Wishful thinking*)

I miss you
Hi Tumblry Tumblr people, It’s been months since I’ve written something over here. And I miss it. I might just need to come back, no? Xx
When was the last time you told the people that you love how much you care about them?
Do you need time to think about this question? Hush! Set out and tell them, right now!
Hi there Claire,
How nice to hear from you. I don’t get any notices of messages I receive on Tumblr, and can’t see when you’ve tried to reach me. I’m sorry if this means I’m getting back to you terribly late.
Thanks so much for the heads up, I would love to hear more about the magazine and be part of it! I hope it is not too late to contribute?
Please contact me with more information at saar_babbel@hotmail.com or saar@sprklng.com!
Kind regards,
Saar
Yayy, I’ve got mail! All the way from Taiwan! (Taken with picplz.)
After yoga snow-hopping (Taken with picplz.)
I’m experimenting a bit with my yoga practice at the moment. I know Bikram is my real thang, but it is good to step out of your ‘comfort’ zone and try new things every now and then. (Like hot meditation, yin yoga or any type of flow.)
So I bought an introductionary pass at the local Moksha yoga studio this week, which I’ll be able to use for one month. I have taken two classes so far, taking it as it is. Trying not to think too much. (Something like: IMISSBIKRAMIMISSBIKRAMIWANTMYBIKRAMIWANTTHAILANDIWANTBIKRAMIWANTWANTWANTIT)
The teacher tonight observed my practice, and commented on it:
‘You’re back is crazy flexible. What you just did there was sort of scary’
(Mind you - I only got in to Cobra!)
It’s okay to have a gentle practice. To listen to your body. To take it as it goes. But that is exactly what I do when I practice Bikram. And it’ll be exactly what I will be doing again, from next month onward ;) But for now, let’s open those hips and continue to focus on my breath. Less cardio, more stretching and relaxation.
Say hi to our newly-born!
(I’m going to ignore my lack of blogging - let’s just say I have been busy trying to get used to staying put - instead of having this constant flow ‘where am I and what place is next’ in my head. This is it. Now go and build a life. Yikes! Designing your own life can be pretty frightening, luckily it is pretty damn cool as well. Especially with the right people around you. Or shall I say, the sweetest boyfriend on your side.)
Updates:
- I got my Canadian Working Visa, or: my letter of invitation, all I need to do is cross the border to get it stamped in to my passport. (I will do that in April, when I’ll be visiting the lovely Affiong in New York) Exciting stuff!
- Snow! Slippery slush! A new jacket! I’m not made for this weather, but I will survive. Hot yoga to the rescue, as ever.
- Flowers of my love for Valentine’s day - oh my! The boy’s a keeper <3
Petra and I have been working on a love-baby over the last couple of months. Today is the day I would love to present Sprklng.com to all of you. Don’t hesistate to share this haven with your beloved once, and do let us know what you think. Feedback is much appreciated!
Short notes from up North
1. I am blessed. In love with being in love. Meeting my boy’s friends and having a blast while doing so. Feeling the sun warm my face, no snowstorm to blow me over as of yet. A heart that jumps up and down out of happiness. My life is good.
2. Only 9 more days until Petra and I will launch www.Sprklng.com! Oh my, excitement much? Follow us on Facebook or Twitter and stay posted!
