We are in Rochester for the weekend, Eastview Mall-ing it. Love this Mall, even though I hate malls in general. But this one has an Apple Store, an Athleta, a Banana Republic, and other retailers that pique my interest. Athleta gives a 30% discount to yoga teachers so that was my first stop. We played … Continue reading Money Don’t Spend Itself
A Good Yoga Week
It was a good week. I feel especially happy about my morning practice at the studio. I have a home practice area, but the studio is really sweet. I love the gleaming hardwood floors, the skylights, even the smell which is combination of floor polish, and witch hazel. I practiced by myself for the most … Continue reading A Good Yoga Week
The Divine Contract
I talked to Jennifer, my Naturopath today. We talk about everything, not just my eczemic ears. After I confessed that my "no coffee" streak is over, and that I like my "Kathinated" self SO MUCH BETTER, we got into the issue of my stuckness about my project and how I can't seem to push "Send." … Continue reading The Divine Contract
Today This Is How It Rolled
This blog is my platform. Every day I step up on it and I say something. I sort of "busk" on it. I don't have a hat, but I do make a bid for your attention. I make an offering. I put something out into the world. Some small thing. Most days less than 1000 … Continue reading Today This Is How It Rolled
Hatchet: Buried.
During April I had a “secret Metta friend.” I picked one of my yoga challengers and every time I saw her (which was every day) I said to her in my mind: "May you be happy, May you be peaceful, May you be free." Free from what? Free from anxiety and worry, free from everything … Continue reading Hatchet: Buried.
Crazy Puppet Blogger
I need to figure out what this blog is about. I am writing it everyday, which is now up to, what? some 70 days in a row? But it still hasn't found its niche or its voice yet. I feel like a puppeteer. I can give voices to different parts of my personality. I have … Continue reading Crazy Puppet Blogger
Sedona Red Clay Wrap
Today I went to Emerge and had a new experience: A wrap. First I was massaged front and back with rough silk gloves garshana-style. Then came the application of the red clay which went on like silk. I was then wrapped, first in sheets, then covered with a blanket, then enshrouded in a mylar blanket. … Continue reading Sedona Red Clay Wrap
Name It!
Yesterday on Facebook I posted that now that it is May, it's time for a new Challenge. Someone commented: "Just name it." And I was thinking about this. I think I am being asked to say something like: "Yoga 5 days a week. No excuses!" Maybe they want me to set up a Facebook accountability … Continue reading Name It!
The Lone Nut No More
Today I slept in, wrote, took a walk with G and Boomer, taught Happy Hour yoga. It was a soft day. It is the first of May and the weather is finally, starting to drastically improve. The Challenge is over and while it was wonderful, it was still exhausting. At the end we sat around … Continue reading The Lone Nut No More
The Last Day of the Yoga Challenge
Oh, I am so very tired. It is almost midnight and I just got back from the Yoga Challenge Party which was so wonderful, as usual. I will write more about it tomorrow but I will leave you with a picture. I don't want to break my streak here! There are 2 people missing: Sarah … Continue reading The Last Day of the Yoga Challenge
