I was inspired by a little poem on Pinterest, and I thought to myself, “Hmmmm, I could do some editing and add some pretty charms and paper and place these in a shadowbox!” You know what?! It worked!

Camel

Camel is a very challenging, yet invigorating yoga pose, and it is a great counter pose to rabbit, which likes to kill me!
