Vacation

When I think of vacations immediately thoughts of suitcases and planes appear in my mind. Today I experienced a different type of vacation. The last ten days have been out of the norm for me due to company, storms, and travel. I arrived home from NY this afternoon and my wires were crossed and my . . . → Read More: Vacation

What’s My Hurry?

Read this first:

Down In The Valley

My breath was knocked out of me at Jean Do's plight because I absolutely cannot imagine my brain being alive and not being able to do what I'm doing now – communicating my thoughts and words to you. But he wrote a whole book AFTER this happened to . . . → Read More: What’s My Hurry?

Tools

It felt so great this morning to have everything back to normal – power on, cleanup done. My husband left for NY and I grabbed my yoga gear and….snap…the power went off again. No biggie. I'll just go to fit club and it'll probably be back on when I get home. I switched gear and . . . → Read More: Tools

Food Hell

Food hell is me in a grocery store buying anything other than paper towels and coconut water. My meeting last night got cancelled so I thought I'd use the time to get my food for my Koko nutrition project. It was a gorgeous sunset and I grabbed my list (after which I spent an hour . . . → Read More: Food Hell

This Requires Focus

Yesterday Koko Fit Club rolled out its nutrition plan to compliment their exercise program. Most of you know I joined Koko in October and have loved every minute of being there. (Goto Kokofitclub.com and/or the related post below to see this phenomenal fitness program). You can imagine how excited I was to go yesterday to take . . . → Read More: This Requires Focus

Why I Do What I Do

I have been practicing Bikram yoga for two and a half years now. People often ask me why Bikram, as opposed to other types of yoga. I always say I do Bikram for medicinal reasons. The medicinal reasons are too many to go into during most of these conversations, but I always wish I could . . . → Read More: Why I Do What I Do

What? LIVE With An Unsolved Problem?

What? Live with an unsolved problem? Really Lord? There's peace in that?

That was my reaction to my morning reading this morning. I'm taking a second trip through Melody Beattie's More The Language of Letting Go. This morning that concept was just flung across the page, striking me, and even enraging me a little. Isn't . . . → Read More: What? LIVE With An Unsolved Problem?

Searching For Gentleness

This morning’s Bikram class was the first after three days. Things are very different with my body. Certain parts feel foreign and out of place. The only thing I can liken it to is when your first pregnant and your body just doesn’t feel familiar anymore. Instead of grabbing my heels in forward bend, I . . . → Read More: Searching For Gentleness

No Impetus

I am at the Braintree T stop just outside of Boston waiting for my daughter's train. She just let me know she's going to be late, so I sit here thinking about how much better I feel today after a rough week.

Everyday this week has been hard. Extreme muscle fatigue and mental lethargy . . . → Read More: No Impetus

Tapping

Yes, tapping. What is tapping? Just what it says it is – tapping – like tapping your fingers on the table. So, why am I writing about something so ordinary? Because I've never heard of it before. I mean, I've heard about tapping your fingers on the table while nervous or bored, but I've never . . . → Read More: Tapping
