Today was one of those “off” days when I just could not find my rhythm. Felt like I was in a pinball machine getting flippered from thing to thing. If it weren’t for my hour of Holosync, I would have been totally Tilt, instead of only mostly Tilt. One thing that ate up a big … Continue reading A Whole Day of Tilt

Puppets, continued.
So to continue the puppet theme from yesterday, I went online to see if I could find a ready-made Inner Wisdom Guide puppet. The first place I thought to look was Folkmanis, a company that makes the BEST PUPPETS EVER! If you go to any upscale toy store like Alphabet Soup on the Ithaca Commons, … Continue reading Puppets, continued.
Pudding, Puppets and Chocolate Covered Pomegranates
Tonight has to be a full moon. How else to account for this much wackadoo-ism? (and btw, is there an “h” in wackadoo? Whackadoo? Or not?) I stayed up super-late last night writing and watching The Biggest Loser, so there was no getting up for Ashtanga this morning. Boo. Had the bril idea of going … Continue reading Pudding, Puppets and Chocolate Covered Pomegranates
I Wish
I used to have a massage therapist who was a yoga teacher. I miss her. She was terrific. Not only did she have amazing technique and intuitive abilities, but after my bodywork session, she would sit with me and tell me which postures I should do to keep myself un-kinked and open. I wish everyone … Continue reading I Wish
Pollyanna Drills a Gas Well
The gas well drilling that is a constant clang in my (mental and physical) environment these days --and will continue clanging for the next 20 years until they finish sucking all the natural gas out from under us-- is kicking up a lot of dust for me. (no pun intended). I have wanted to write … Continue reading Pollyanna Drills a Gas Well
Diagnosis: “Salvagable”
I am a word person. I am sensitive to word choices. (It’s a burden, actually.) I will over-analyze and mull and wonder, “What did she mean by that?” when she probably meant nothing at all. It was simply the word that came to her; the word she knew, a word she always uses, uses without … Continue reading Diagnosis: “Salvagable”
Looking Down
I found myself walking around Ithaca today, looking down. Like, at the ground. Looking down, the way I would look down when it’s raining, or when it’s windy and cold and I’m just trying to make my way through the weather and get to a more comfortable place. But today was a fine day. A … Continue reading Looking Down
100 Recipes #5 Flat Belly Brownies (FAIL)
So, keeping with the Belly Fat theme, I made these brownies today. They are the most god-awful tasting brownies in brownie-dom. They’re not nearly sweet enough, and the texture is what I imagine recycled paper towels might taste like If this is what it takes to have a flat belly, I’m depressed. But it’s not. … Continue reading 100 Recipes #5 Flat Belly Brownies (FAIL)
The Power of Stickers
I was once a teacher so I know the power of stickers. Put a sticker on a kid’s paper and that’s all it takes to make that kid’s day. Promise a sticker to a kid for good effort and that kid will work like the devil. Go figure. I was telling Tim the other day … Continue reading The Power of Stickers
Belly Fat
On Monday Tim assessed my fitness in an effort to target my weight lifting regimen to meet my goals. There was a “Flexibility” Test and a “Push-Up” Test and a “How-Far-Up-Can-You-Jump-and Touch-A-Spot-On-The-Wall” Test. Measurements were taken at the bust, bicep, waist and thigh. And I went on the scale. (Does this give you some idea … Continue reading Belly Fat
