All of my little rituals each take 20 minutes. For example: It takes me about 20 minutes to write 750 words. I set my Insight Timer for 20 minutes when I meditate. It takes me 20 minutes to do my little circuit on the MU Stadium steps. Funny, how in a mere 20 minutes I … Continue reading 20 Minutes A Day

12 Things I’m Loving Right Now
I know that "The Best Things In Life Aren't Things" but lately I've been trying to focus my attention away from this endless winter, and on all the things I do really love and appreciate in my life. This post is about things. Objects, food, technology, yoga apparel and gear. All the things that I … Continue reading 12 Things I’m Loving Right Now
750 Words Freakout– Reconsidered
I was all in a dither yesterday because 750 words went on the blink. I kept pushing "force save" and cursing and gnashing my teeth and getting up from the chair, then sitting down again, checking every 2 minutes to see if the site had saved my words. I was freaking because my streak of … Continue reading 750 Words Freakout– Reconsidered
How My Resolutions Advance My Pilgrimage
How is drinking more water going to advance me on my journey? The answer: My lack of sufficient hydration is starting to cause minor break-downs. In a word, I itch. I have to stop and itch. My ears itch. My skin itches. And every time I have to stop and itch, I have take my … Continue reading How My Resolutions Advance My Pilgrimage
Feliz Ano Nuevo!
Hola! And much gratitude to my commenting readers for talking me down from the ledge, where I teetered precipitously for a few days on the verge of jumping to my death into the 365 Day WordPress Blog Challenge. Whew. Now that I am back inside, sitting on my bed, dizzy, nauseous but alive, and (hopefully) … Continue reading Feliz Ano Nuevo!
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
The Solace of a Well-Nourished Practice
Yesterday, while I was having a whole battery of shots needled into my gums and the roof of my mouth, I wondered this: What do people in these kind of situations do if they don't have a practice? My periodontist is pretty cool. As he was shooting me up, he led me into a little … Continue reading The Solace of a Well-Nourished Practice
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
Summer love
This has been a spectacular summer. Really. This has been the kind of summer I remember from kid-hood: long strings of sunny, followed by soft nights of starry. Then a day of sprinkly little rains, followed by a touch of hot-hot-hot, with a dollop of humid on top. Then a big soaking rain, with an … Continue reading Summer love
Yosemite Boots
My boots came in the mail yesterday. The boots I hiked Yosemite in. After we left the park, we found a post office and stopped and mailed a box home to ourselves hoping to lighten our suitcases and avoid paying the $50 extra for an overweight bag. (It worked, too.) I slit the box top, … Continue reading Yosemite Boots
