Tomorrow we go to Sanibel Island, Florida. Never been there. It's supposed to have good shells. I am looking forward to sitting under an umbrella, my toes in the sand, the sound of the surf in my ears, and reading voraciously, and then staring out at the horizon with equal absorption. I am looking forward … Continue reading Sanibel Bound

What are you reading these days?
One of the things I love most about G's dad, Owen, is his love of reading. He always has a book going and when he is not out fishing, or fixing something in our house, or making a run to the dump with G (all things that happened this morning) he is on the couch … Continue reading What are you reading these days?
Blessing the Space
There has been a frost warning the last 2 nights. I wore a jacket into the studio this morning and felt happy that I didn't have any plans to go fishing today with G and her father. (Brrrrr....) (As it turned out it was a beautiful day for fishing and they caught 5 trout.) The … Continue reading Blessing the Space
Mental Malware
I spent a lot of time yesterday planning. I love to plan. I take out the calendar, set goals and deadlines, write them down, and usually don’t execute. This time though, I am going to execute. I have to break this long streak of not finishing. I found myself talking to myself in the kitchen … Continue reading Mental Malware
A Good Yoga Week
It was a good week. I feel especially happy about my morning practice at the studio. I have a home practice area, but the studio is really sweet. I love the gleaming hardwood floors, the skylights, even the smell which is combination of floor polish, and witch hazel. I practiced by myself for the most … Continue reading A Good Yoga Week
The Divine Contract
I talked to Jennifer, my Naturopath today. We talk about everything, not just my eczemic ears. After I confessed that my "no coffee" streak is over, and that I like my "Kathinated" self SO MUCH BETTER, we got into the issue of my stuckness about my project and how I can't seem to push "Send." … Continue reading The Divine Contract
Today This Is How It Rolled
This blog is my platform. Every day I step up on it and I say something. I sort of "busk" on it. I don't have a hat, but I do make a bid for your attention. I make an offering. I put something out into the world. Some small thing. Most days less than 1000 … Continue reading Today This Is How It Rolled
Hatchet: Buried.
During April I had a “secret Metta friend.” I picked one of my yoga challengers and every time I saw her (which was every day) I said to her in my mind: "May you be happy, May you be peaceful, May you be free." Free from what? Free from anxiety and worry, free from everything … Continue reading Hatchet: Buried.
Crazy Puppet Blogger
I need to figure out what this blog is about. I am writing it everyday, which is now up to, what? some 70 days in a row? But it still hasn't found its niche or its voice yet. I feel like a puppeteer. I can give voices to different parts of my personality. I have … Continue reading Crazy Puppet Blogger
Sedona Red Clay Wrap
Today I went to Emerge and had a new experience: A wrap. First I was massaged front and back with rough silk gloves garshana-style. Then came the application of the red clay which went on like silk. I was then wrapped, first in sheets, then covered with a blanket, then enshrouded in a mylar blanket. … Continue reading Sedona Red Clay Wrap
