I often feel guilty about the fact that my life is so happy. That’s because so many people are not so happy. Some are lost, others are bored. Some are unsettled, others are burdened. Some are taking depression meds, others need to be taking depression meds. They are dealing with time stress and money stress … Continue reading Happy

The Doyen of the Detox
G posted some pictures on Facebook today. Pictures of dirt. Pictures of the ground. Pictures of people not wearing coats. I don't remember that. I looked in the mirror today and let's just say, I'm not a "winter." My skin is the color of a codfish.. The bags under my eyes could hold my wallet, phone, … Continue reading The Doyen of the Detox
Too poor to be brave
Today I gave my personal trainer 2 letters. One letter was a conventional recommendation letter he asked me to write for him for graduate school. The other was an unconventional letter, the letter I really wanted to write, explaining to the school that he really didn’t need them because he already had the skill set … Continue reading Too poor to be brave
A Rumor of Bears
The other morning while G was walking Boomer, a neighbor stopped to tell her that she had seen bears up behind the cemetery. "Yeah," she said, "just so you know, the bears are up. It's time to take the feeders in at night." So for the last 2 nights we have been taking the feeder … Continue reading A Rumor of Bears
Sunday stuff
I think even in Lent, you get Sundays off, don't you? I am sitting here watching the Oscars. I haven't seen many of the films, but I am really liking the spectacle of Awards this year, and Neil Patrick Harris is adorable. C'mon, Lady Gaga covering Julie Andrews? How amazing was she? And then Julie … Continue reading Sunday stuff

OR: Should I stop eating refined carbohydrates and go up and meditate first, and then go to Wegmans for green juice supplies? OR: Should I put on a … Continue reading I Never Know What to Write About

The Journey Back
The journey back is difficult. Most of the summer I was silent here, but living loud in my life: traveling to Portland and the beach, teaching my beautiful students, playing with plants, riding bicycles, reading big books, cooking, grilling, eating, drinking, talking and laughing. The other day I was clicking through my photos and the … Continue reading The Journey Back
The last day of May
All May I have been silent here. I don't know why, exactly The April Yoga Challenge ended and suddenly when there wasn't yoga to report on in Virtual Yogarians, I lost my blog "focus." I like having a blog "project." You know, something to report on every day. After the Yoga Challenge ended, I didn't … Continue reading The last day of May
My Unique Ability
I am a person with no particularly noteworthy talents. This is not to say that I'm not good at certain things, I am. But I'm not "talented." Nothing comes naturally for me. If I want something, I have to pull it out of my ass with a lot of hard work and sweat and streaky … Continue reading My Unique Ability
