This sign hangs in my dining room (right under the one that says: "Live well, Love much, Laugh often") I bought it for more for the word play on the homonym than because I resonated with the sentiment. I love wine, and have grown to love it more and more over the years as I've … Continue reading Poor Me…More Wine

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
How’s It Going?
I had to see my accountant today for the dreaded doing of the taxes. Hagar wears his hair in a gray crew cut, military-style, that, oddly enough, looks kinda cool on him. He does it stick-straight up like a newly sprouted lawn. After the initial handshake and how-di-do’s he says, "How's it going?" Now, when … Continue reading How’s It Going?
Spring Decorations
One reason I could never be an elementary school teacher is bulletin boards. All teachers spend a lot of time making their rooms interesting and stimulating environments for their students, but elementary teachers go hog-wild, changing things around based on the curriculum and the seasons. It's nice. I approve. But I could never get into … Continue reading Spring Decorations
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
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
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
Where I Work
Sometimes people will ask me where I work. There is something about the word "work" that makes me recoil. "I don't really work." I'll say, "I teach yoga." But lately I've been thinking about that and it seems to me that I do "work" only it's not work in the "Omg, it's Monday and I … Continue reading Where I Work
In Like a Lamb
Last year early March looked like this: Today I took a picture of these snowdrops in the front yard: If winter is not a time of suffering, can you really appreciate spring? I've often wondered what it would feel like to live in a place like Florida or Southern California and step out the door … Continue reading In Like a Lamb
Happy Birthday G!
It's hard to write here everyday. It really is. That's why it's such a great Lenten sacrifice. And it works on a lot of levels. I have to write some sort of content here, and if you are subscribed, you have to read it. Painful all around! Blogging FTW! Today is G's birthday. She is … Continue reading Happy Birthday G!
