Freaking About Tsunamis

July 20, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 3 Comments

Recruiting is brutal. It was hot and her recruiting chair didn't have an umbrella. I think the school needs to buy her a chair with an umbrella. And a big bottle of Patron Tequila. Softball is a slow game. Nothing happens for a long time, then there is a  hectic amount of shit that happens … Continue reading Freaking About Tsunamis

The 150th Post

July 18, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

We are in Rochester for the weekend. G wanted to check out a catcher, and I tagged along. I really had no idea what recruiting involved, but now I do, and it's pretty deadly. And boring. And today, hot and humid. We watched half a game and G said we could go. She had seen … Continue reading The 150th Post

I Think I’m Done

July 17, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 4 Comments

On July 1st I started writing my book here in short blog posts. This was “Step 1” in the strategy to overcome my resistance to putting my work out there. The plan was to  use my blogging streak to chunk out the book. And you know what?  I think I’m done. Today when I sat … Continue reading I Think I’m Done

Do Something A Little Bit Hard Everyday

July 16, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 4 Comments

It took me a really long time to be happy, to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do with my time, my life. I made a lot of mistakes. I could have gotten to this place  decades sooner if I had done the stuff I’m suggesting here when I was in … Continue reading Do Something A Little Bit Hard Everyday

How To Talk To Strangers At Parties

July 15, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

“What do you do?" Oh god how I hate that question. Before I was a yoga teacher I was a housewife. Before I was a housewife I worked in college admissions. Before college admissions I was a grad student. Before college and grad school I worked at Sears. None of those titles described me in … Continue reading How To Talk To Strangers At Parties

Where I Went Wrong

July 14, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 1 Comment

I always thought I would be discovered. I thought some teacher or adult would tell me what I should be when I grew up. I thought somebody would see my hidden talents and out me. Tell me,“You’re special.” Or at least: “You’re so good at that.” At the time I didn’t care what they said, … Continue reading Where I Went Wrong

Don’t Retire

July 13, 2015July 13, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

Don’t go to bed. Don’t go to sleep. Stay awake, alert and sharp. Retirement is fine if you’re bored and hate your job and have had it. But if your job is still stimulating and challenging, stay. So many people I know who are retired are completely wasting their gifts. They’re healthy and vibrant but … Continue reading Don’t Retire

Don’t Say You Don’t Have Time

July 12, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ 2 Comments

What if you’re a recent grad with a crummy job (or 2) crushed under a massive boulder of student loan debt. What if you’re a single parent on the gerbil wheel of job, kids, daycare, shopping, laundry, Dr. visits, round and round. What if every waking hour is consumed with survival concerns. Fuck the ukulele. … Continue reading Don’t Say You Don’t Have Time

Picking a Project

July 11, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

Before I talk about picking a project I want to say one thing: This process takes time. It takes time to build a Project-Driven Life. And it might take even longer if you spend every waking hour working on somebody else’s project. Most people work on somebody else’s project. Any company who pays you, pays … Continue reading Picking a Project

Getting High

July 10, 2015 ~ Kath Thompson ~ Leave a comment

I guess it’s a generational thing. I like to get high. I am always on the lookout for anything that takes me out of ordinary reality, ordinary time. Today, I did a lot of deliberately heavy breathing, which in yoga-speak is called pranyama. I forced air into and out of my nose at a blistering … Continue reading Getting High

January has five Mondays. You've only missed one. Let's do this. https://main-street-yoga.heymarvelous.com/calendar
We picked our words! Mine is MUSCLE and G’s is VIGOR. Look out 2023, here we come!
You don't do yoga for you. You do it for your kids, your parents, your co-workers, your partner---everyone you connect with during your day. Everything goes better when you're calm and present. You know it's true. So, do it for them. Every Tuesday, there's a Gentle Yoga class at 5:30. So why don't you stop. Breathe. And take an hour to remember what's truly important. https://main-street-yoga.heymarvelous.com/calendar
November 30: Let's end this month with a practice you could do everyday, it's that wonderful. Bookmark this one. Memorize it, and make it your own. If you've been playing along all month, congrats! You completed thirty days of yoga. Now keep the streak going!
