The other night I led Bakasana (Crow) prep poses, but when we got to the actual POSE, I really couldn't hold it for very long. Two of my younger, more bendy students were rocking it though, and even trying advanced variations. I was trying to help them achieve some of these variations, but I couldn't … Continue reading Feeling My Mettle

Lent, Mallo Cups, and the Resistance Monster
Raise your hand if you ever gave up candy for Lent. (My hand did not go up.) But even still, I always find myself craving Mallo Cups this time of year because every kid in my Catholic school gave up candy for Lent. And Mallo Cups were the big Lenten sacrifice. We were told we should give … Continue reading Lent, Mallo Cups, and the Resistance Monster
The First Post of the New Year
It's been a slow day. Kind of introspective. Spent a lot of time going back through archives just to see what I was resolving to do this time last year. This is the day of resolutions and I like resolutions, but I always wind up not doing them. I don't feel bad about that mostly, … Continue reading The First Post of the New Year
One Year of 750 Words
Warning: Horn-Tooting to follow Yesterday I got my Pegasus Badge on 750 Words. This badge marks 365 days of posting without a miss. Here's a screenshot of my page as it looked this morning when I logged in: I was never a Girl Scout so I never had the satisfaction of earning Merit Badges, but … Continue reading One Year of 750 Words

I've been seriously considering blank-slating this blog and starting all over because I don't think … Continue reading Spinning Plates on Sticks
Breaking A Streak
My longest streak lasted 428 days. I did Holosync for 428 days straight and then it ended. It was a deliberate end. I didn't just "forget." I ordered what I thought was the next level (Level 3) and when I opened the box, they had sent me just the intro cd. My reaction was: WTF???!! … Continue reading Breaking A Streak
The Benefits of Streaking
So if we define "streaking" as a daily practice of tending to a thing that keeps us aligned with our dharma, or our core values, or our life mission, it stands to reason that the doing of that thing is going to promote calmness in us. Because when we are not in alignment, there is … Continue reading The Benefits of Streaking
Picking Your Streak Thing
Another way of picking your "streak thing" is to think back to a time when you were doing something regularly and feeling great about it, and yourself. You were living in sync with yourself and your highest values, but for some reason you stopped doing it. You're always saying that you need to start doing … Continue reading Picking Your Streak Thing
Starting a Streak
I'm trying to get a new streak going here. I got derailed back in July, but now I'm trying to string some posts together and get my mojo back. I'm also trying to get a streak going in my paper journal, which is a lot easier than this, because there I can be all sloppy … Continue reading Starting a Streak
