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

#brynneandjesse
Dear Brynne and Jesse, G and I wish for you what we have: Someone who sees us as we wish to be seen and not necessarily who we are...yet. Someone who sees our best self, the self we are cultivating, the self we are striving to be. Someone who forgives our shortcomings knowing that we … Continue reading #brynneandjesse
Date Night: The New Wednesday Ritual
We've decided that since I don't teach on Wednesdays in the summer, that Wednesday will be "date night." G recruits every weekend, so Saturdays and Sundays will find her in a sack chair with a clipboard watching terrible high school softball, while I sit home and binge watch Property Brothers. So we've decided that every … Continue reading Date Night: The New Wednesday Ritual
Tending Things
We tend gardens. And children. And some of us tend to the sick. Today I tended to my bills, my accounts, my business. I watered the plants, switched the pictures around on the walls, dusted the sills, folded all the blankets and lined them up neatly on the rack. I tended my meditation practice, and … Continue reading Tending Things
“Have You Always Been This Way?”
I assumed (and hoped) he meant friendly, open, interested, and together. He stopped me as I was walking Boomer on campus. He wanted to know how big this place was. He said he had been lured off the highway to come and explore. He just couldn't get over how beautiful this area was. He was … Continue reading “Have You Always Been This Way?”
The Bed Is Bigger Than The Kitchen
The first day in a new place. Where to get food? How to organize time? What to do first? Who are these others? How to fit in? Mostly, how to fit into this kitchen. Holy closet! (I am writing in the WordPress app for Ipad and I am having a little fit with inserting pics, … Continue reading The Bed Is Bigger Than The Kitchen
Blessing the Space
There has been a frost warning the last 2 nights. I wore a jacket into the studio this morning and felt happy that I didn't have any plans to go fishing today with G and her father. (Brrrrr....) (As it turned out it was a beautiful day for fishing and they caught 5 trout.) The … Continue reading Blessing the Space
6 Things That Made Me Happy Today
1. My yoga studio. How crazy is it that I own a yoga studio? Sometimes I just cannot believe it. I walked in there at 7 this morning to do my personal practice, all bleary-eyed and tired, and walked out all energized and ready for the day. 2. Vince, my trainer. I write about Vince … Continue reading 6 Things That Made Me Happy Today
Money Don’t Spend Itself
We are in Rochester for the weekend, Eastview Mall-ing it. Love this Mall, even though I hate malls in general. But this one has an Apple Store, an Athleta, a Banana Republic, and other retailers that pique my interest. Athleta gives a 30% discount to yoga teachers so that was my first stop. We played … Continue reading Money Don’t Spend Itself
Hatchet: Buried.
During April I had a “secret Metta friend.” I picked one of my yoga challengers and every time I saw her (which was every day) I said to her in my mind: "May you be happy, May you be peaceful, May you be free." Free from what? Free from anxiety and worry, free from everything … Continue reading Hatchet: Buried.
