Because the weather was kind of meh, we jumped into the car and headed for Wegmans by way of Target, Panera, TJMaxx and Bon Ton. I saw a woman in a turquoise polyester pantsuit. I had a tall soy latte. I said "Hi" to one of my yoga students in Target. I had black bean … Continue reading On My Plate

I pass this phone booth every day on my dog walk. I don't even see it most of the time. The only time I see it is if the sky looks likes it's going to open up and drench me, and then I think: "Well, I could always just duck into that phone booth if … Continue reading Empty
Morning: It Doesn’t Look Like What It Feels
I love mornings. Even ass-crack of dawn mornings. But it sure doesn't look that way, does it? Because come on. Do you think you ever look the way you feel? Does anything look the way it feels? Take a roller coaster for example. It's interesting architecture, high, curvy, but go ahead. Get on it. Take … Continue reading Morning: It Doesn’t Look Like What It Feels
The last day of May
All May I have been silent here. I don't know why, exactly The April Yoga Challenge ended and suddenly when there wasn't yoga to report on in Virtual Yogarians, I lost my blog "focus." I like having a blog "project." You know, something to report on every day. After the Yoga Challenge ended, I didn't … Continue reading The last day of May
Liebster Award
In case you've been wondering where I've been, I have de-camped over to Virtual Yogarians for the month of April. (Virtual Yogarians is a multi-user blog I set up for people to blog about how the April Yoga Challenge is going. I post there every day (from the seat of the teacher) but so do … Continue reading Liebster Award
My Unique Ability
I am a person with no particularly noteworthy talents. This is not to say that I'm not good at certain things, I am. But I'm not "talented." Nothing comes naturally for me. If I want something, I have to pull it out of my ass with a lot of hard work and sweat and streaky … Continue reading My Unique Ability
Recommedation Letter and Losing Track of the Days
39 people came to the Yoga Challenge yesterday. And 39 people came today, too. Not all the same people, but some were the same. It's funny that the same number came on both days. I am losing track of the days of the week already. I know that today is "Day 2." Beyond that, not … Continue reading Recommedation Letter and Losing Track of the Days
Adding A New Worksheet To My Day
I've spent a lot of time today trying to figure out how I am going to do all the things I want to do, have committed to doing, and all the things I am currently "streaking." It's all coming together nicely, I think, except for 2 small things: sleeping and bathing. If it weren't for … Continue reading Adding A New Worksheet To My Day
The Era of the Mat Sandwich Ends
Last night I did a class for a college sorority. A friend of mine is the advisor and thought it would be good for them. So I had to set up the studio for a crowd. I put down 19 mats with blankets under them for added cushioning on the hardwood floor. Then I sat … Continue reading The Era of the Mat Sandwich Ends
Feeling Torn
So. It's late and I'm tired and I am thinking about what I am going to do with this blog once April rolls around (the day after tomorrow). I have this other blog I write on in April called Virtual Yogarians. It's a "multi-user" blog in which anyone who is attempting the Challenge is invited … Continue reading Feeling Torn
