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
Happy Birthday G!
It's hard to write here everyday. It really is. That's why it's such a great Lenten sacrifice. And it works on a lot of levels. I have to write some sort of content here, and if you are subscribed, you have to read it. Painful all around! Blogging FTW! Today is G's birthday. She is … Continue reading Happy Birthday G!
Sending Good Vibes
I've been feeling kinda crabby for the past few days. Maybe it's the cold, or the wind, but something is deranging my dosha. Then, to make matters worse, I just happened to read an account of some mean-spirited interchanges between some people I know, and I was like, "Whoah. This simply will not do." Everyone, … Continue reading Sending Good Vibes
A Good Place
Do you know the Holstee Manifesto? It's amazing, it really is, (I have a copy of it hanging in my studio). It has even, so I hear, sparked a small movement of people trying to write their own manifestos; trying to write down, in list style, what they stand for, even if they often fall … Continue reading A Good Place
De-cluttering. A start.
I am racing around trying to get out of here by 10:30 this morning. We are going up to Ithaca to bomb around, perhaps catch a movie at Cinemapolis, then we are meeting our dear friends Zee and Blue for dinner at Madeline's at 6. I am kind of regretting this Lenten sacrifice of not … Continue reading De-cluttering. A start.
Go away, Pest!
Every time I settle on the couch with a cookie, Boomer is all over me like white on rice. Go away, pest!
Yoga on the Ball
The balls are strangely okay this time around. I can't figure out what is making this session of Yoga on the Ball different from the last time I taught it, when I vowed never to teach it again. Yoga on the Ball never felt like "yoga" to me; it felt gimmicky, more "yogic" than "yoga." … Continue reading Yoga on the Ball
