I still don't live with my tribe. And although this is hard for me, lately I've heard a lot of people from many different places say the exact same thing. Even people who live in notoriously cool places. I heard a podcast this week in which a pretty famous writer said that even thought he … Continue reading Feeling the Tribe

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
The Yoga Lounge
Just as the last student left my Happy Hour Yoga class this evening, my daughter called from Portland, OR. I was just finishing up at my desk in the lounge, so it was perfect timing. I kicked back into one of the comfy Poang chairs in the lounge and had good long chat with one … Continue reading The Yoga Lounge
A Whimsical Vacation
I woke up in my own bed this morning after a week at the beach, wondering: What is a vacation, really? Is it breaking the habitual patterns, and living pattern-less for a while? (I almost wrote: Living a more "natural" pattern.) Maybe. Let me just explore it here for a bit. I consider myself very … Continue reading A Whimsical Vacation
Small Is The New Big (reverb10 Day 3)
How come it is that whenever I feel most alive I also feel my mortality most vividly? What is it about high mountain ranges that makes me feel so...so... What I feel is small and large at the same time. I feel small on the outside, but large on the inside. I feel the smallness … Continue reading Small Is The New Big (reverb10 Day 3)
What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
Last week I finished reading Gretchin Rubin's The Happiness Project and now I am deeply involved in Jonathan Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis and I went to the new Victoria theater in Blossburg and saw the movie Social Network and today the plumber was here all day installing a new kitchen sink and faucet. And last … Continue reading What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
Everyone Is Enlightened But Me
The weekend at the beach was perhaps the best time I ever had there. The weather was perfect, the water temperature was 70 degrees warm, the surf was amazing--strong and forceful and foamy. Our place was just "eh" but it was 100 steps from the beach and tucked away behind Rehoboth's only Juice Bar, so … Continue reading Everyone Is Enlightened But Me
95 Degrees in Portland
So, it looks like Portland is trying to court me. It has been in the 90s, without a cloud in the sky ever since we landed. It's being all, "See? We can be warm and sunny, Kath. Stop all your "dreary, rainy, wet" talk. We just talk that jive so we don't get every single … Continue reading 95 Degrees in Portland
Asheville
Just got back from a trip to Asheville, NC and have been doing laundry and putting the house to rights all day. In about an hour I will be heading out to see the documentary Split Estate. Why do I do this to myself??? I predict it will suck me into the sadness and despair … Continue reading Asheville
My Vacation
I am buried in laundry. My house looked AMAZING when I walked in, exhausted, after a week away. (yay me for cleaning!!) My trip to Yosemite was... (adjectives fail me) Spectacular? Yeah, that's getting warm, but it was more than that. Here's what I DIDN'T do: I didn't pick up my pen once the whole … Continue reading My Vacation
