This picture was taken up in the Smoky Mountains at Chimney Top Park in Tennessee while traveling to see the Synchronous Fireflies of Elkmont.

Each June in the Elkmont area of the Great Smoky Mountains, a natural phenomenon occurs that continues to baffle scientists.

During a two week window in late spring, thousands of lightning bugs flash in complete unison.

The synchronous firefly show, which researchers have identified as a rare form of “simultaneous bioluminescence”, is a popular and growing attraction for the Smoky Mountains. Each evening, several hundred park visitors begin arriving in Elmont with blankets, chairs and flashlights to witness the natural phenomenon that occurs after the park becomes pitch black.

To get an idea of just what happens, check out this YouTube video. The video is a little grainy, but it still gives you a rough idea of what you can expect to see:

Awe, You Shouldn’t Have!

I have a hard time accepting and asking for help from others.  My grandmother recently told me “if someone wants to do something for you then you should let them”.  Simply put I agree with her and I’m learning to gratefully accept all the gifts and help life presents. After all I really like helping other people so it’s only fair to accept help in return.

On a personal note, I’m now 29 and was 18 when introduced to Steve Ross. I grew up dancing and taking gymnastics and had been to a couple hot yoga classes. As much as I liked stretching and sweating and the amazing energy that comes from a great teacher it wasn’t til I found ‘Inhale’ that I really fell in love with yoga. My mother also grew up dancing but when I was 18 and she was 36 she was over weight, living in the desert (even though she’s inlove with the ocean) and in a job that sucked the life out of her. Basically she wasn’t happy and our relationship was not good and had not been good for years. She too had tried some yoga dvd’s but found herself very bored with them …. and then one day I told her about Steve Ross and Inhale!

My mom fell inlove with Steve Ross’s style of teaching. She began doing yoga regularly and turned her friends onto as well. The side affect from this was life changing for both of us. She got happy, lost a bunch of that extra weight, started inspiring others to have fun and be happy and our relationship became the best it had ever been. Steve Ross was in Las Vegas for a book signing for Happy Yoga: 7 Reasons Why There’s Nothing to Worry About . I went there to thank him for making my mom happy which made me love her more then ever, she became an inspiration. Soon after she moved to Southern California to be near the ocean! But wait it gets better … !!!! …. WAY BETTER!!! She then quit her very lucrative job in Corporate America and flew down to the Bahamas to live in an Ashram for a month and became a yoga teacher!

My mom is Denise Wells she is a Registered Nurse and a Certified Yoga Teacher.  She lives in Mission Viejo, California and goes by Om Sweet Om Yoga! She loves being outside and does guided yoga hikes, yoga in the parks and on the beach. She also does private in home sessions for all those busy Corporate America types who don’t have time to leave.

Yoga Studio Decor and The Happy Blog was completely inspired by Steve Ross and my Mom! They’ve both been an inspiration and a support system in my life. When I’m facing my hardest challenges or I’m in the worst mood, either Yoga w/ Steve or a call to my Mom gives me the strength to be happy.

I am Kiesha Jean.   I am a photographer who loves yoga and life!  All of the images in the Yoga Studio Decor store were taken by me on my travels.  I currently live in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina.  I hope for the Happy Blog to be someplace you can always come to when you need a smile, a laugh, inspiration, love and wisdom.
