Over gluten-free waffles, green juice and coffee Misty, Vince and I talked about role models, and how if it weren't for our friends' families, we would never have imagined that parents could be nice to one another, and to their children.

Writing is such a head game
I was tired. I didn't feel like it. It was cold. I have been breaking my "No Humans Before 11 AM" rule by switching my workouts to 9 which is NOT GOOD.. Vince had me do a million squats today.

Today he proudly told me that … Continue reading Stronger This Year
The Way I Wish To Be Seen
Today after yoga was over and most people had gone, Vince, my trainer, stopped by to say hi and to give me a letter. As it turned out I had a card for him, too. It had the Rilke quote on it about living the questions. He sat down in the Poang chair and read … Continue reading The Way I Wish To Be Seen
Grappling
Today did not go AT ALL the way I thought it would. I walked into the gym expecting an hour of sit-ups, pull-ups, squats and other torture at the hands of my handsome and wise trainer, but instead found myself in deep dialogue. Today we worked out together. Today's workout was to understand and articulate. … Continue reading Grappling
