starting up yoga.

When my friend Annie said she would take

some pics of me in her studio, I jumped at the chance.

It was my chance

to be a model of what 40 looks like....not on 

someone in Hollywood, but a real girl,

living a real life with kids and a hubby and a job

and a house that needs cleaning.all.the.time.
