After 25 years of personal growth and lots of teaching yoga and workshops, I feel I’m still growing and learning and yet I also have achieved some degree of wisdom. This blog is my effort to share some of the wisdom while making it clear that there’s always more to learn. I’m tired of books about spiritual life that imply — if only by the lack of self-revelation and struggle — that the author is “done”. There’s no such thing as done and very few are so successful at spiritual life that they are beyond the struggles of personality. It’s a journey that covers mind, body and spirit so topics will include health and emotional issues as well as spirit. This is me, having a real journey. Namaste, Leigh

Hello, Leigh. Thank you for liking my blog post Original Jogger. It led me to your blog, and I find that we are totally on the same page. I have an autoimmune disorder which I am using energy medicine to push back with some success so far. I am also a yogi and a writer, and am working on a collection of essays about my spiritual journey. I would love to know more about you. I will put a link to your blog on mine.
Hi Carol, nice to meet you. I haven’t gotten to the point of figuring out how to put links on (at least not successfully) but I’ll link to you too. I’m in a rush at the moment but I’ll look forward to further communication.
Hi Leigh,
I appreciate you dropping by my blog today, and I love your “philosophy” on spirituality. By claiming that one person is “more” spiritual or more “done” than another is to perpetuate the belief that we’re different. I’ll look forward to following your journey which is, as they say, the point. Not the destination.
I had fun reading lots of posts on your blog. Thanks for the kind comments.
Thanks for liking my post today,i wish you a lovely journey!!!
Leigh, Brilliant post, short and sweet as they say. And indeed, in the spiritual quest your never there because the ‘there’ is forever moving. The deeper you go the deeper it gets.
I’m adding a link to your blog on mine.
Oh, thank you — I’m honored, especially as your blog is so good. Thank you.
[...] am stunned and delighted, as a very new blogger, to receive this award from yogaleigh of BlueGrassNotes. Thank you so [...]
Hello Bluegrass Notes, I wanted to let you know that I have nominated you for the new Hope Unites Globally HUG Award. You may find out about the award at http://ahopefortoday.com/2012/01/14/hope-unites-globally-hug-award-guidelines/. I nominated you because I believe you deserve the award, so I hope you will receive it and pass it along to others you think also deserve the award. Blessings, Connie
Congratulations Leigh on your nomination and acceptance of the Hope Unites Globally HUG Award. Your acceptance of the award has acknowledged who you are and what you do. The HUG Award was not created as a “fluff” award, just something pretty to paste on your blog. It was created as a “tough” award to challenge people to think about boundaries that are detrimental to nurturing hope and respecting the dignity of some of those who need it the most. I am very happy that you feel honored to receive the award. Blessings, Connie
[...] Bluegrassnotes A great “feel good” blog. Leigh has many insightful tips on how to bring calm and peace into your life. [...]
Another award for your trophy cabinet….
In the true spirit of blogging I have nominated your blog for the Versatile Blogger Award.
To view all nominees and comments please go tohttp://heartwhispers.co.uk/2012/04/15/yippee-kreativ-blogger-award/
Love, light, and peace
I’ve been travelling and even though I did some blogging I’m behind. I’m preparing a post about several awards and when I looked at this one I wound up confused as it says you’ve nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award but the link you gave is to the Kreative Blogger and that is the one where my blog shows up in a list. Just want to clarify, did you mean to nominate me for the Kreativ Blogger? Either way, thank you very much! I really appreciate it.
Oh my gosh yogaleigh, I too was behind on awards and was trying to do several in one day. It’s been awhile since I’ve last posted awards so my memory escapes me. Honestly either one would fit you beautifully! Most likely it was for the Versatile Blogger. So sorry for the confusion!
Hello my friend,
I like your writing up here. I think if you keep doing what you’re doing now, you will have good future. So keep it up my friend!
I have a joyful ride in your blog, and now I’d like to invite you to visit mine. Thank you and have a wonderful day, my friend!

Your blog is lovely. I look forward to seeing more.
Thanks for following my blog, Leigh, and greetings from another lapsed lawyer. I graduated in Melbourne, but left the profession soon after to be an actor, then acting left me and I became a writer instead.
I’ll try to keep posting things to hold your interest and all the best with your blog too – I know how important the encouragement is!
I’m sure your blog will keep me interested. I’m getting so I’d rather travel vicariously and not have to go through security or sit in a tiny seat with my knees aching….
