My big adventure today was a visit to my periodontist. This ordeal usually begins with a long sit on my meditation cushion, followed by some inspirational reading like, The Places That Scare You, and absolute and total silence in the car on the 45 minute drive there as I practice mental nadi shodhana. I don't know … Continue reading Dentils

A Little Spring Meme
This afternoon I walked Boomer to the studio to check the mail and to see if anyone had slid Yoga Challenge money underneath the door. It is still weirdly warm, but it was cloudy and there were a few sprinkles as we walked. I could smell the ground. It smell like dirt and roots and … Continue reading A Little Spring Meme
The Yoga Challenge and the New Year’s Eve Letter
Today I pulled the trigger on the 5th Annual Yoga Challenge (30 days for $30). Sent the email to my mailing list and now I await the flurry of envelopes. I am guessing by this time tomorrow it will be filled. Tonight as we sleep, Spring will arrive. Somebody at yoga tonight said that the … Continue reading The Yoga Challenge and the New Year’s Eve Letter
Spring Cleaning
Today the summer drapes went up, the mudroom got cleaned of all winter coats and hats and the"Ice Melt" that's safe for the dog's paws. Everybody in my neighborhood was outside doing some kind of yard work today. It felt like late May rather than mid-March. Every day I walk Boomer past a house on … Continue reading Spring Cleaning
St. Paddy’s Day
I went to Wegmans today and because it is St. Patrick's Day they were selling corned beef and cabbage dinners for $7. There were quite a few people in line to buy them, too. And to promote this, there was a kid, I'd guess he was 13 or 14, dressed as a leprechaun. His outfit … Continue reading St. Paddy’s Day
The Bests
Every time I sit down here, I try to think of the standout moments in the day, good or bad. But mostly I look for the "Bests." What were the best moments of this day? My yoga practice this morning wasn't "the best"--it was hard and I was frustrated with my limitations and my weakness, … Continue reading The Bests
I Need to Friend Waldo on Facebook
Imagine what would have happened if the artist who drew Where's Waldo? had put just a little more space around Waldo? We would have picked him out immediately, right? When there is just a little more space around things, they come into view; we can see them. They can move and breathe and make choices. Today when … Continue reading I Need to Friend Waldo on Facebook
Fiscal Integration
Today I finished my March book with a half a month to spare. (Wo. All this no-Facebooking is paying off in increased reading time, just as I suspected it would.) My new routine has me coming down in the morning, checking my email, then reading the blogs I subscribe to on Google Reader, and then … Continue reading Fiscal Integration
A Little Pincha Spring
It was a ridiculously warm day here in northern Pennsylvania. Ree-Dic-Yoo-Lus. Like in the 70s. March, we never knew ya. I walked out onto the deck to drink my Orgain for lunch and found myself face-to-face with my Christmas tree. Not only that, all my window boxes are still filled with decorative pine boughs. The … Continue reading A Little Pincha Spring
Flower Power
All winter I watered this thing. All winter it didn't do much of anything. The best that I could say about it was that it wasn't dying. And now that the snowdrops are up, and the tulips are threatening, this thing has gotten competitive. It has been sitting in my mud room window and looking … Continue reading Flower Power
