This is my 51st post in a row. I started posting daily on Ash Wednesday (February 18th) and I'm still going, even though my stated commitment for this streak was only until Easter, which was 5 days ago. What can I say? I love streaking. Once I get a little streak going, it kills me … Continue reading I’m A Good Detoxer (thanks to Streaking)

Yoga Teacher: Energy Vampire
Went totally rogue in my 7 o'clock class tonight. Practiced with my students. (A big teacher No-No.) (But in my defense, there were only 3 students, all of them adept yogis, and all of them part of the Challenge.) My own practice time was eclipsed by my gym workout with the adorable Vince, and by … Continue reading Yoga Teacher: Energy Vampire
Time Warrior
I started reading Time Warrior by Steve Chandler this morning. It's all about hacking time to avoid procrastination. The hack is this: forget about linear time. There's no line of time extending into the future like a receding perspective line, and there's also no line running back into the past either. It's all just a … Continue reading Time Warrior
No Humans Before 11
I have a rule: No humans before 11 AM. What this means is that I will not schedule anything that involves talking to, or interacting with anyone before 11 am. No appointments, meetings, lunches, nothing. (If I can help it. And most of the time I can help it.) I need the mornings to myself. … Continue reading No Humans Before 11
Witnessing Stillness
I always feel privileged to be a yoga teacher: to watch students, to watch over them, to encourage and guide them. Tonight there was a nice big crowd for Power Yoga. All of my best students, all the good breathers. I led a lot of suns and variations on suns. It was intense. And because … Continue reading Witnessing Stillness
The Way I Wish To Be Seen
Today after yoga was over and most people had gone, Vince, my trainer, stopped by to say hi and to give me a letter. As it turned out I had a card for him, too. It had the Rilke quote on it about living the questions. He sat down in the Poang chair and read … Continue reading The Way I Wish To Be Seen
Food Update
It’s been 10 days since I’ve had coffee, sugar, alcohol, eggs or wheat and I am feeling really good. I feel calmer, more relaxed, still a little on the tired side, but I think that is more a function of the weather (cold, cloudy, spring-resistant) than my diet. I had a great talk with Jennifer … Continue reading Food Update
Just a little “streak keeper” post
My eyelid is better. I think the culprit may be the moisturizing oil I use on my face. I love this stuff and I have been using it for well over a year now with great results, but I think it turned on me. I tried not using it yesterday, and using the stuff I … Continue reading Just a little “streak keeper” post
A Little Day
I woke up with my right eye totally puffed out and burning, and the left one trending in that same direction. I am going crazy with this. I cannot figure it out. Why worse in the morning? Then I went and trained with Vince. Sunjana was there training today, too. Sunjana works at the health … Continue reading A Little Day
Sending Metta
Today, someone I know who has been battling cancer for decades, was on her way to Johns Hopkins, shopping for hope in the form of some new clinical trial or some treatment that would stem the tide of the cancer cells in her body. Her text said: Heading to Johns Hopkins. Asking for prayers. When … Continue reading Sending Metta
