My lion-taming, long-term sub job not only paid the tuition to Yoga Teacher Training at Kripalu, but it also enabled me to afford a private room with a private bathroom. (Yee-hah!) Because by this time I was 51 years old and the thought of living dorm-style with with a bunch of earnest, vegan, menstruating recent … Continue reading The Story of Main Street Yoga, part 5

Snow Blower Woman
Today I ran the snow blower for the first time. It was the first time we needed the snow blower (thank goodness) AND it was the first time I ever experienced the thrill of plowing through deep snow and launching it into outer space. Well, not outer space, but out of the space that it … Continue reading Snow Blower Woman
Cat and Taxes
I've been putting it off. I always put it off. Is it hard? Not really. Is it interesting? Not at all. I don't even DO them, per se. I have an accountant who is a whiz and finds me all kinds of deductions, plus he's a character and I like him. But what I do … Continue reading Cat and Taxes
The 1st Anniversary of This Blog
This is my 167th post on this blog. I mention this only because I just passed my 1st anniversary here. I had a slow start, for sure. I knew I wanted to do something with this blog that would express my particular take on the world, as well as track my daily search for inspiration. … Continue reading The 1st Anniversary of This Blog
Running vs. Yoga
While I am doing yoga, I am in a whole different world. I am out of my mind. Literally. While I am running, I am also in a whole different world, but I am totally IN my mind and all I want to do is escape it. In the yoga practice, I explore the interior … Continue reading Running vs. Yoga
Running Shoes

Then the regular person, the person not into running at all, found out how comfortable running shoes were for just general, all-purpose shlepping around, so you found gramdmas and … Continue reading Running Shoes
Green Juice
This morning I made a little video of the making my morning juice. The sound isn't great because the juicer is really loud, but if you're into watching veggies get pulverized, you're gonna love this. If not, not so much. Oh, and it's over 8 minutes long. Fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_jqfH9QjSE
Americano (with room for cream) or Latte?
In between all the other stuff I have going, I've been flipping through this book, Marathoning for Mortals, the book that Tim picked for us as a guide to marathon-prep. I had no intention of running anything (except maybe a hot bath) when I walked into that meeting last night, but after flipping through this … Continue reading Americano (with room for cream) or Latte?
Marathoning For Mortals
I don't like to run. I used to run, back in the 70s when it was all the rage. I started in graduate school. I ran to blow off steam. I lived on Codfish Falls Rd in Storrs, CT and ran in between bouts of reading The Life of Johnson. I think I was in … Continue reading Marathoning For Mortals
