Prompt: Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011? For anyone who knows me, and is familiar with Main Street Yoga, it will come as no surprise that that's where I have discovered community here in the … Continue reading #Reverb10: Day 7-Looking for Utopia
#Reverb10-Day 6: Making Things Happen
December 6 – Make. What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it? I want to make things happen, that's what I want to "make." I don't want to make a quilt or a pie or … Continue reading #Reverb10-Day 6: Making Things Happen
Reverb10:Day 5-Letting Go
Prompt: Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why? My first thought was that I'd write about my diet (sugar, dairy, alcohol), or my closets (clutter), but when I dug down a little deeper I realized that the most significant and potentially life-altering thing I let go this year was … Continue reading Reverb10:Day 5-Letting Go
Reverb10–Wonder
Sitting in the Marriott in Shelton, CT this morning getting ready to go to a Bar Mitzvah. There are no words to describe how much I hate these things. I just opened my Reverb10 prompt and the question is: How did I cultivate a sense of wonder in my life this year? And you know … Continue reading Reverb10–Wonder
Small Is The New Big (reverb10 Day 3)
How come it is that whenever I feel most alive I also feel my mortality most vividly? What is it about high mountain ranges that makes me feel so...so... What I feel is small and large at the same time. I feel small on the outside, but large on the inside. I feel the smallness … Continue reading Small Is The New Big (reverb10 Day 3)
Accentuating The Postive. Eliminating The Negative
Today's Reverb10 prompt is: what do you do each day that doesn't contribute to your writing --and can you eliminate it. Of course the answer is: All my internet addictions: facebook, twitter, email, blog reading. Sometimes I tell myself that the blog reading in particular gets my juices going, gets my mind thinking in bloggy … Continue reading Accentuating The Postive. Eliminating The Negative
Reverb10 – Day 1: One Word
I have decided to join a blog challenge for this month. It's called Reverb10 and everyday the organizers throw out a prompt and all the bloggers who join write on that subject. This is really good for me because it's hard to come up with content every day. Plus, I really love the challenge of … Continue reading Reverb10 – Day 1: One Word
The Tao of Weights
New equipment at the gym! They replaced all the old Precor stuff with Hoist! So exciting! And best of all, this Hoist stuff moves as you push it, and press it, and pull on it, which makes it almost, (but not entirely,) amusing. It was good to get back to it today, I must say. … Continue reading The Tao of Weights
Picking Up The Ball
The longer the ball stays on the ground, the heavier it gets. Ever noticed that? One day of not posting grows into 2, then a week, then the whole month skitters by annnnnd ...there you have it. Fumble. An object in motion stays in motion, but an object at rest will stay at rest until … Continue reading Picking Up The Ball
What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
Last week I finished reading Gretchin Rubin's The Happiness Project and now I am deeply involved in Jonathan Haidt's The Happiness Hypothesis and I went to the new Victoria theater in Blossburg and saw the movie Social Network and today the plumber was here all day installing a new kitchen sink and faucet. And last … Continue reading What I Have Been Doing While I’ve Not Been Here
