Okay, right off the bat, I don't watch football. It's not that I hate football or anything, I just can't sit down and watch a whole game of it. But in this house, Boomer is addicted to football, which is why we got her in the first place. When we were looking for a breed … Continue reading The Stupor Bowl

Wine
There is a glass of wine sitting here on the coffee table, waiting for me to finish this post. It's Jargon Pinot Noir, if you must know. It's Friday night and I just had a super Happy Hour Yoga class with all my right people. I just love it when my right people show up. … Continue reading Wine
Windowsill Goddesses
So today was a really low energy day. I think the Cleanse is getting to me. I got up and did Ashtanga with Christine and Cheryl at 6:30, came home and drank my Serious Green Juice and then fell asleep during Holosync (holo-snoozed it today). I really wanted coffee. I did 2 loads of wash, … Continue reading Windowsill Goddesses
Puzzle 2010
You know how when you take down the tree, there is this void, this emptiness? Well, to mitigate this emptiness, to fill it with something amusing (if not piney and sparkly) I do a big jigsaw puzzle every year. Here's this year's puzzle: And here is the progress of 2 days: As I'm working I … Continue reading Puzzle 2010
Happy Givemas
This morning I took all the food that was donated by all the yogarians over to the Food Pantry. I had never been to the Food Pantry, so had no idea what to expect. It was small, and filled with, well, …food. The woman I had spoken to on the phone was there, and she … Continue reading Happy Givemas

Sleep
My brain is fried, my toe is fractured, and my head aches. Not enough sleep, and too much life lived with enthusiasm. Enthusiasm with no foundation. The foundation of life is rest. Without rest, no action is possible. (Well, it’s possible, but there is a price.) And the price is brain fog, headaches and irritability. … Continue reading Sleep
Yes, the Mantra
I run hot and cold with mantras. I was really into japa mala for a long time. Chanted a long Sanskrit mantra taught to me during a training at Kripalu. (Om namo bhagavate vasu devya.) Wore my mala everywhere. I still have one hanging from the rearview mirror of my car. It came in handy … Continue reading Yes, the Mantra
Streaker
Turns out I’m a streaker. (Who knew?) Not me, but if the shoe fits… Who knew that “streaking” would be the key to my MASSIVE self-discipline, procrastination problems?? I’m not talking about running around naked here. (Though my college roommate was really big into that, back in the day.) What I AM talking about is … Continue reading Streaker
My Recipe for Transcendence
I have had moments in my life, “openings, “ if you will, periods out-of-time where I have been able to transcend my small self, break free of my conditioning, and see new and thrilling possibilities for living a more expanded existence. These moments have been few, but they’ve been profound. They have happened On the … Continue reading My Recipe for Transcendence
