I spent most of the morning glued to CNN watching the miners (#11-14) get rescued. Could not get enough of it. Was completely entranced, fascinated, touched, and thrilled by the whole spectacle. I cannot imagine a worse fate than being buried alive 2,000 feet under the ground. But I am ashamed in the face of … Continue reading Buried Things Can Be Rescued
Fire Hose vs. Lawn Sprinkler
I have decided to do another cleanse. Same thing as last January (if you're interested I wrote about it ad nauseam in the January 2010 archives.) Now that I'm an old hand at this, it doesn't have the same charge and excitement of last year. I know the ropes. I know I can do it. … Continue reading Fire Hose vs. Lawn Sprinkler
Homecoming ’10
It was a busy and beautiful weekend: Homecoming with a houseful of people, then on Sunday, the Ives Run Trail Challenge. Could not have asked for better weather. But it was the people who made it. So much fun! So much food and remembering of the "good ol' days." And soo00 much beer! HOLY MILLER … Continue reading Homecoming ’10
Friday Gratitude
Yet another installment of Friday Gratitude, and this week there is LOTS to be grateful for beginning with: Still being ambulatory after a week with Yoganand. Headstand and Scorpion and Side Crow...oh my! "What doesn't kill you, makes you strong" --and Karen Meyer calling "Bullshit" on that theory in class to tonight. Hilarious! Go Karen! … Continue reading Friday Gratitude
Notebooks and Yoga Mats
I have been writing with Zee, on and off, for a good 10 years and I have never heard her say anything less than over-the-top positive to anyone after they read. Until today. Today, among other things, she told a woman to "Get a notebook!!!" This woman wrote her piece on loose-leaf, and her piece … Continue reading Notebooks and Yoga Mats
Blogiversary
So, a little anniversary passed without me acknowledging it 2 days ago. I wrote my 300th blog post on Monday. Last August I started "getting serious" about this blog, and by "getting serious" I mean that I committed to posting regularly. At first, I made the commitment to posting EVERY DAY. Then I backed off … Continue reading Blogiversary
Asana 4 Wrap-Up
I walked into the house last night after a 4- hour drive home (in the rain) preceded by "The Grand Finale" workout, to find the house all candle lit, a fire going in the fireplace, a home-made apple pie, and a chilled-to-perfection glass of my favorite Zin waiting for me. All the fall decorations were … Continue reading Asana 4 Wrap-Up
Scorpion Pose
Today I did a pose that I never thought I'd be able to do in a million years. I got up into Scorpion Pose. Mine didn't look like that -> My head hung lower to the ground and my fingers touched on the floor under my nose, and I had to kick up into the … Continue reading Scorpion Pose
Part 1 of a 2 Part Post

Becoming Unglued
Every time I rolled over in bed last night, I woke up because... My. Body. Ached. Yesterday's epiphany? I am not my body. Not world shattering, I know. But most of the time, I forget this because every social construct around me wants to convince me otherwise: You are what you eat, or don't eat. … Continue reading Becoming Unglued
