The First Post of the New Year

It’s been a slow day. Kind of introspective. Spent a lot of time going back through archives just to see what I was resolving to do this time last year. This is the day of resolutions and I like resolutions, but I always wind up not doing them. I don’t feel bad about that mostly, [...]

One Year of 750 Words

This badge marks 365 days of posting without a miss.  Here’s a screenshot of my page as it looked this morning when I logged in: I was never a Girl Scout so I never had the satisfaction of earning Merit Badges, but [...]

Yet Another Post About Streaking

I am currently nursing along a little baby yoga streak.  As of today, it’s 18 days old. (It could have been 23 days old except that on Day 5, I skipped a day and had to start over, according to The (My) Rules.) I am going up to my home yoga room every day and [...]

The Mark of a Warrior

It has now been almost two weeks since I returned from the Hatha Yoga Pradipika training I took with Yoganand at Jai Yoga in Philadelphia. After that training I started changing a lot of things in my life, namely: my practice, my food, and the intensity of my cardio workouts. In the space of two [...]

5 Things To Do While You Figure Out What You Want to Be When You Grow Up

I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up until I was 51 years old. When I finally found “my thing” it wasn’t the thing I thought it would be, and it certainly wasn’t anything anyone would ever pay me to do.  But by that point, I didn’t really care about money. [...]

Breaking A Streak

My longest streak lasted 428 days.  I did Holosync for 428 days straight and then it ended.  It was a deliberate end.  I didn’t just “forget.”  I ordered what I thought was the next level (Level 3) and when I opened the box, they had sent me just the intro cd.  My reaction was: WTF???!! [...]

The Benefits of Streaking

So if we define “streaking” as a daily practice of tending to a thing that keeps us aligned with our dharma, or our core values, or our life mission, it stands to reason that the doing of that thing is going to promote calmness in us. Because when we are not in alignment, there is [...]

Picking Your Streak Thing

Another way of picking your “streak thing” is to think back to a time when you were doing something regularly and feeling great about it, and yourself.  You were living in sync with yourself and your highest values, but for some reason you stopped doing it.  You’re always saying that you need to start doing [...]

Starting a Streak

I’m trying to get a new streak going here.  I got derailed back in July, but now I’m trying to string some posts together and get my mojo back. I’m also trying to get a streak going in my paper journal, which is a lot easier than this, because there I can be all sloppy [...]

Streaks

I just got home from the studio, where, after Happy Hour Yoga, a bunch of us sat around ate pizza and drank beer and wine and watched a film called YYoga. If you’re interested you can watch the trailer here: http://www.yyogamovie.com/home%20movie/page18.html I love these kinds of movies.  They validate my practice, they inspire me to [...]
