I'm feeling a little uneasy tonight. I just got home from teaching my Monday night class, the one for advanced beginners and intermediate students, and I think I may have gone a little too far with them. We did a practice that I poetically refer to as, "A Whole Lotta Suns With Some Other Crazy … Continue reading Yoga Travel Agent
Book review: The Go-Giver
I just finished reading The Go-Giver by by Bob Burg and John David Mann. It's one of those fable-type books you either love or hate. Here's the basic formula: a poor misguided shmo learns an important life lesson from a enlightened being masquerading as a humble little nobody (or a seagull). Here are some other … Continue reading Book review: The Go-Giver
Asheville
Just got back from a trip to Asheville, NC and have been doing laundry and putting the house to rights all day. In about an hour I will be heading out to see the documentary Split Estate. Why do I do this to myself??? I predict it will suck me into the sadness and despair … Continue reading Asheville
My Owner’s Manual
My friend Michelle has a new baby. I fully expect her to walk into the studio one day soon and garumph: "I wish these things came with instructions 'cause I'll be dammed if I know how this kid works!!" Babies don't come with instructions, sadly. None of us do. But our cars do. And so … Continue reading My Owner’s Manual
Disclaimer: No Inspiration Here.
I miss me when I'm not here. For the past few days I've been checking in, hoping against hope that someone might have hacked in and ghost-written me a post. Something witty and heartfelt, maybe. Or uplifting and inspiring. Even something wicked and bitchy. But no. Every time I check, it's the same: "Yosemite Boots." … Continue reading Disclaimer: No Inspiration Here.
Yosemite Boots
My boots came in the mail yesterday. The boots I hiked Yosemite in. After we left the park, we found a post office and stopped and mailed a box home to ourselves hoping to lighten our suitcases and avoid paying the $50 extra for an overweight bag. (It worked, too.) I slit the box top, … Continue reading Yosemite Boots
Solstice Bike Ride 2010
I don't know what it is, but every single time we go on an adventure, G winds up "saving the day" in some way. She remembers the key thing that everyone else forgets, or rescues someone from disaster, or has the right tool and/or the know-how to fix the car. So yesterday, on our big … Continue reading Solstice Bike Ride 2010
Beer, Pizza, Ice Cream, Wine, Peanut Butter Mousse Pie
These are the summer potholes. These are the foods and drinks that I need to swerve around all summer in order to stay sleek, lean and svelte. But so far, I haven't been successful and my axle's broken and my bumper's draggin': Bump, bump, bumpety- bump! And it's not even officially summer yet! Tonight we … Continue reading Beer, Pizza, Ice Cream, Wine, Peanut Butter Mousse Pie
The Ten Foot Circle
Before I left for California, I was all concerned about how I was going to keep up with my posting streak here; how I was going to check email, Twitter, Facebook, etc. I knew I was going to be out of range of Wifi, and maybe even cell phone service, and it was more of … Continue reading The Ten Foot Circle
My Vacation
I am buried in laundry. My house looked AMAZING when I walked in, exhausted, after a week away. (yay me for cleaning!!) My trip to Yosemite was... (adjectives fail me) Spectacular? Yeah, that's getting warm, but it was more than that. Here's what I DIDN'T do: I didn't pick up my pen once the whole … Continue reading My Vacation
