Every time I sit down here, I try to think of the standout moments in the day, good or bad. But mostly I look for the "Bests." What were the best moments of this day? My yoga practice this morning wasn't "the best"--it was hard and I was frustrated with my limitations and my weakness, … Continue reading The Bests
I Need to Friend Waldo on Facebook
Imagine what would have happened if the artist who drew Where's Waldo? had put just a little more space around Waldo? We would have picked him out immediately, right? When there is just a little more space around things, they come into view; we can see them. They can move and breathe and make choices. Today when … Continue reading I Need to Friend Waldo on Facebook
Fiscal Integration
Today I finished my March book with a half a month to spare. (Wo. All this no-Facebooking is paying off in increased reading time, just as I suspected it would.) My new routine has me coming down in the morning, checking my email, then reading the blogs I subscribe to on Google Reader, and then … Continue reading Fiscal Integration
A Little Pincha Spring
It was a ridiculously warm day here in northern Pennsylvania. Ree-Dic-Yoo-Lus. Like in the 70s. March, we never knew ya. I walked out onto the deck to drink my Orgain for lunch and found myself face-to-face with my Christmas tree. Not only that, all my window boxes are still filled with decorative pine boughs. The … Continue reading A Little Pincha Spring
Flower Power
All winter I watered this thing. All winter it didn't do much of anything. The best that I could say about it was that it wasn't dying. And now that the snowdrops are up, and the tulips are threatening, this thing has gotten competitive. It has been sitting in my mud room window and looking … Continue reading Flower Power
The Problem with Facebook
Thanks to my power juice, and rest, and lots of reading, I think my bout of the crud is on the way out. I felt energetic enough this afternoon to go to Wegmans and re-stock the fruits and veggies. In the Nature's Marketplace section I ran into one of my friends and yoga students and … Continue reading The Problem with Facebook
Sitting on the couch, reading.
So just in time for Spring Break, I am battling some kind of upper respiratory thing. (greaaaat..) Nothing like a garbage-y cough and a woozey head to start the weekend. My first day of Facebook-less-ness went off without a hitch. Don't even miss it. It was so easy, I gave up Pinterest, too. I am … Continue reading Sitting on the couch, reading.
Media Fast
I was talking to Emily the other day, and the conversation turned to what we are reading these days. Em always has a book or two going, and she was telling me that her employees are all voracious readers, too. When they are on break at work, they all sit and read. She loves that … Continue reading Media Fast
Where I Work
Sometimes people will ask me where I work. There is something about the word "work" that makes me recoil. "I don't really work." I'll say, "I teach yoga." But lately I've been thinking about that and it seems to me that I do "work" only it's not work in the "Omg, it's Monday and I … Continue reading Where I Work
In Like a Lamb
Last year early March looked like this: Today I took a picture of these snowdrops in the front yard: If winter is not a time of suffering, can you really appreciate spring? I've often wondered what it would feel like to live in a place like Florida or Southern California and step out the door … Continue reading In Like a Lamb
