Melissa has had another major milestone with her blossoming art career, her artwork has been accepted in a juried art exhibit in Philadelphia (I'll explain why Philly in a moment) yeah Melissa!!
This means that a panel of judges looked at her art and all of the other submissions and she was amongst the 18 selected for the exhibit at the White Stone Gallery . The exhibit itself is entitled Fine Art & Faith. The theme of the exhibit was what inspired Melissa to submit to a gallery all the way across the country in Philly.
You can see her listed with the other artists by clicking here.
The exhibit will run from March 5th through March 28th and the winning entry will be shown for a year! I think there is also prize money but that of course is not the point.
We are all really excited and I'm super proud of her and can't wait to here how the event and showing will go.
If I can get a digital picture of the painting she submitted I will add it to the post later.

Yoga mania!
For Christmas I bought Melissa a yoga video so that she could do yoga at home. Now before you say "that's just like a husband to do that" she requested one. I did some research and ended up getting one of the highest rated videos on Amazon from Shiva Rea.
Unfortunately right after Christmas our TV broke and the loaner we have has not yet been hooked up to our DVD player.
This weekend the video was revived and the house has gone into yoga mania. When I got back from my run yesterday afternoon Julia was doing the yoga with the help of a portable DVD player. Lea (who had ridden her bike along with me for 3.5 miles) joined in and they did yoga for about 30 minutes. After Lea bailed out Julia kept going for another hour! She loved it! The first thing she did when she got up this morning was 1 hour of yoga with Melissa! They are hooked!
This is all just part of the yoga mania however. As it turns out Melissa has a way of shaping he world around her and she must have willed a yoga teacher to contact her because we are now hosting yoga at our house 2x per week in our loft. In fact we rearranged the entire space up there so that up to 10 people can do yoga with her new yoga master Mahdu. She came by to survey the space Melissa offered and said that "there are good vibrations here" so I think we are all set! She will even let the kids participate if they want to so the house has gone yoga crazy!
