I just got home from the studio, where, after Happy Hour Yoga, a bunch of us sat around ate pizza and drank beer and wine and watched a film called YYoga. If you’re interested you can watch the trailer here: http://www.yyogamovie.com/home%20movie/page18.html I love these kinds of movies. They validate my practice, they inspire me to … Continue reading Streaks
I Wish
I used to have a massage therapist who was a yoga teacher. I miss her. She was terrific. Not only did she have amazing technique and intuitive abilities, but after my bodywork session, she would sit with me and tell me which postures I should do to keep myself un-kinked and open. I wish everyone … Continue reading I Wish
Can I Help You?
Last weekend I went to Rochester specifically to visit the Apple Store. I need a new computer and have always had PCs, but the time has come, I think, for the big switcheroo. I know, I know… So to all you “too cool for school” Mac people out there? (You know who you are.) Here’s … Continue reading Can I Help You?
Full of Win
I got up and went to yoga early this morning. First time in 2 weeks. Do you know how many postures you can do if you can’t forward bend? Not. Too. Many. I got all entranced with Plank. As well as Side Plank. Child’s pose was good, too. As was Downward-Facing Dog (with bent knees). … Continue reading Full of Win

Pollyanna Drills a Gas Well
The gas well drilling that is a constant clang in my (mental and physical) environment these days --and will continue clanging for the next 20 years until they finish sucking all the natural gas out from under us-- is kicking up a lot of dust for me. (no pun intended). I have wanted to write … Continue reading Pollyanna Drills a Gas Well
Morning Power Questions for Today
What am I happy about? Sun in November, decent weather, a few blessed days off to heal. Excited about? Trip to Rochester tomorrow. The prospect of a new computer. Dinner party tonight with Tim and Jackie. Proud about? Maintaining my streaks with this blog (currently in week 13), writing in my paper journal (day 49 … Continue reading Morning Power Questions for Today
Morning Power Questions. Evening Power Questions.
On the little table next to my Space Chair I have a pile of books. One of them I picked up today on a whim because I was plumb out of ideas for my daily pen-scribble. The book was Awaken The Giant Within by Tony Robbins. I have tried to read this book a number … Continue reading Morning Power Questions. Evening Power Questions.
Diagnosis: “Salvagable”
I am a word person. I am sensitive to word choices. (It’s a burden, actually.) I will over-analyze and mull and wonder, “What did she mean by that?” when she probably meant nothing at all. It was simply the word that came to her; the word she knew, a word she always uses, uses without … Continue reading Diagnosis: “Salvagable”
I Totally Blame Eckhart Tolle
I injured myself last Wednesday lifting weights at the gym. I think it was on the squat machine. I don’t know what I did to myself exactly (I’m going to the chiropractor tomorrow) but my hips are locked and my hamstrings won’t stretch and I have a persistent dull headache. It’s like, one day I’m … Continue reading I Totally Blame Eckhart Tolle
