Today I walked into Wegmans and the first thing I smelled was the coffee. It was a cold, raw day. I was tired. On the drive over I thought about stopping at The Soulful Cup for a latte. In my mind I saw myself standing at the counter, ordering a latte, not to go, but … Continue reading Who Would Know?
Reading
I often catch myself wishing I could talk to someone who reads the same kinds of books I read: non-fiction, self-development, new business paradigm-books. Also, books about the latest in neuroscience or the positive psychology movement, or mindfulness, or the place where spirituality and technology meet. Nobody I know reads those kinds of books. Nobody … Continue reading Reading
The Real Challenge of a Yoga Challenge
“Commitment is doing the thing you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you.” —Darren Hardy, The Compound Effect I think it is fairly easy to go to yoga every day. It might not be easy on the body, or the ego, but it is easy … Continue reading The Real Challenge of a Yoga Challenge
Accountability Hacks
I want to start an Open Practice time in May at the studio. What I mean by "open practice" is that I will commit to being at the studio, Monday through Friday at 7 AM in May for an hour's practice. I am not going to teach yoga on those mornings. I am going to … Continue reading Accountability Hacks
Wondering Why I Blog
This blog is still such a mystery to me. I wish I knew what I was doing. I wish I knew WHY I write it. I think one way I try to look at blog content is through the lens of: What can I help you with today? What is a problem you are currently … Continue reading Wondering Why I Blog
Stronger This Year

It pulls no punches when it comes to laying out just what happens when you eat crap. My client eats crap. My client doesn't exercise enough. Today he proudly told me that … Continue reading Stronger This Year
Tooth of Doom
My tooth of doom. Number 15. Upper left, all the way in the back. My periodontist has been "worried" about this tooth for years. Every time I go he says, “I’m worried about this tooth.” Every time he says that I think to myself: “I’m gonna die with this goddamn tooth, Buster.” He’s cute, but … Continue reading Tooth of Doom
How many streaks are too many?
I want to start another streak. A yoga streak. I need to get my personal practice back. Bad. The other day I subscribed to Udaya so that I would have lots of classes to choose from and no excuses. My pre-streak started today when I woke up, took a hot shower, slathered myself in coconut … Continue reading How many streaks are too many?
Sit Down. Shut Up. Don’t Move.
Remember Freeze Tag? If someone tagged you, you had to stand like a statue until someone “unfroze” you. Yeah. So here’s what you do: You take a timer (I like this one) and set it for 10 minutes. Sit down in a chair and try not to move a muscle for 10 minutes. When the … Continue reading Sit Down. Shut Up. Don’t Move.
Blog as Fun House Mirror
So here was an interesting conversation I had with my stylist the other day. I sit down and she says, "So how is everything in Mansfield?" And it just came out of my mouth, "How the hell should I know? I don't live in "Mansfield," I live in my own little Kath bubble. ( I … Continue reading Blog as Fun House Mirror
