A friend of mine who has known me for a LONG time sent me some pictures he found in an old box. Pictures of me. Pictures of me taken over 30 years ago, when I was 25. I am still reeling from the shock of them. I hardly recognized myself. I kept staring at these … Continue reading The Girl In The Picture

A Groundhog Day Meditation
(this was first published in Mountain Home Magazine) Every year when I flip the calendar from January to February and see “Groundhog Day” written in that little box under February 2nd, I crack up. I wonder what a space alien, coming upon our calendar, might think about this Groundhog Day holiday. What is commemorated on … Continue reading A Groundhog Day Meditation
The Year of Warrior 1
I am sitting in a Starbucks in North Carolina, Nora Jones is playing "Come Away With Me" on the sound system. I have just written my January newletter to all my yoga peeps telling them about the New Year's offerings. When I am away from home it is really hard to keep up my rituals. … Continue reading The Year of Warrior 1
A Box of Time
So, it's over. (Xmas, that is.) It was sweet --and certainly buttery! I got some techy gifts (a new internet router and a new version of Wanda, my GPS) some clothes and of course, books. But what I really wanted was not under the tree. What I really wanted, and ask for every year and … Continue reading A Box of Time
Boldness in the New Year?
I’ve been reading my journal from this past year and you know what? I never do what I say I’m going to do, or what I really want to do. Now, I realize I’m saying this hot on the heels of yesterday’s “Hurray for Me I Did a Year of Holosync Without a Miss!” braggadocio … Continue reading Boldness in the New Year?
One Year of Holosync
Yesterday was my 1-year anniversary with Holosync. 365 consecutive days without a miss. Have I ever been this consistent with anything? I don’t think so. As a kid I would give up things for Lent, but how long is Lent? 6 weeks? But with Lent you “give up” stuff. With Holosync I added something; I … Continue reading One Year of Holosync
The Post with the Picture of the Menorah
Got up early and did Ashtanga with Christine. Drove to Ithaca and wrote with Zee &Co, then had a great lunch (Chinese), got coffee at Starbucks, stopped at Greenstar and made it home just in time to set up for Goldilocks Yoga. Ate pizza and drank beer for dinner. Lit the Menorah. Now, the house … Continue reading The Post with the Picture of the Menorah
Setting Priorities
(forgive me if you’ve already heard this.) For a lesson in time management, a professor places a 3-foot Plexiglas cylinder on the desk and explains that the space inside the cylinder represents the time available to us on any given day. He proceeds to fill it with large rocks. When it’s filled, he asks the … Continue reading Setting Priorities
‘Tis the Season
I was walking the dog through campus today when I overheard one student say to another, “Something’s got to give!” It’s “that time” of year for students when papers are due and finals are looming. It’s “that time” of the year for the rest of us too: holidays, travel, shopping, baking, and relating to extended … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season
Can I Help You?
Last weekend I went to Rochester specifically to visit the Apple Store. I need a new computer and have always had PCs, but the time has come, I think, for the big switcheroo. I know, I know… So to all you “too cool for school” Mac people out there? (You know who you are.) Here’s … Continue reading Can I Help You?
