This is my 126th post in a row. It's getting hard now. My goal with this blog, ultimately, is to write content that adds value to the reader somehow. I don't even know what that means. When it comes to a blog like this, which is not really a yoga blog, or a food blog, … Continue reading Writing to Know

Crank Time
Here in Pennsylvania it rained. All day. G is so sick she sat on the couch and binge-watched DVR-ed episodes of Long Island Medium and drank copious amounts of hot water laced with coconut oil and raw honey. She is really sick. I did 47 loads of laundry, went to the ATM, and to the … Continue reading Crank Time
Transitions are hard
A new student came to yoga tonight. Just moved here from Tucson. Desert to jungle. She was really nice, but seemed to be a bit untethered. The way I feel today. Neither here nor there. Piles of laundry litter the top of the stairway, waiting to be sorted and dragged to the basement for the … Continue reading Transitions are hard
Last Full Day in Portland
Japanese Gardens and Ice Cream were the featured activities of the day. I want the Japanese Garden all to myself for just an hour every day. I really don't think that's too much to ask. I want to sit meditation in either the raked gravel garden or on the hidden bench in the moss with … Continue reading Last Full Day in Portland
Pacific City to Portland
We left our great VRBO in Pacific City this morning, but last night we watched the sun set into the ocean (which is unusual for us East Coasters who only see the sun rise over the ocean.) It was cold out there, at least for me who has the blood of a snake. But well … Continue reading Pacific City to Portland
How did I ever pack before Packing Cubes??
Today I packed for my trip to Oregon. I must say, I am a huge fan of packing cubes. Omg. I love these things. Here is a week's worth of stuff, including beach clothes all ready for the suitcase. When I get to the hotel, my pajamas and robe and all the stuff I need … Continue reading How did I ever pack before Packing Cubes??
Dropped the ball
So as it turns out I'm not Wonder Woman after all. I can't write and meditate and blog and strength train and get in 10 thousand steps and teach Power Yoga and clean the studio and walk Boomer. Today I crashed and burned. No writing. No meditation this morning either. (But that will get done … Continue reading Dropped the ball
How to Motivate… Everyone
See people the way they want to be seen. It's magical. All you have to do is see people, but nobody sees anyone anymore. We all live in a narcissistic, ego-centric bubble in which we want to be seen but no one wants to do the seeing. So, if you can climb out … Continue reading How to Motivate… Everyone
#brynneandjesse
Dear Brynne and Jesse, G and I wish for you what we have: Someone who sees us as we wish to be seen and not necessarily who we are...yet. Someone who sees our best self, the self we are cultivating, the self we are striving to be. Someone who forgives our shortcomings knowing that we … Continue reading #brynneandjesse
Say What You Mean
I was on such a roll this morning! Totally absorbed in my book project, getting places, making connections. It was sweet. I was humming. But then I had to break to meet a client and all my momentum died. I thought I would come home and pick it up again, but it didn't happen. At … Continue reading Say What You Mean
