November 2nd, 2010 It felt good to have Monday come and know it was Monday! Going to yoga every morning at the the same time all week has not only organized and settled my life, in general it’s made me happier. I feel a little bit like my old self before retirement. Weekdays are weekdays and we have . . . → Read More: I Think I Like Mondays…
November 1st, 2010 But now I am mostly at my window…. My window is the place where alot of change takes place. It is where I see each season melt into each other. My window is a place of peace as I gaze out at the landscape below. It is also a place for anxiety as I wait . . . → Read More: At My Window
October 30th, 2010 I posted yesterday on Facebook that my husband was on his way home and I bought some wine and paint. A friend of mine came back with some comments. First he said “wine and paint?

October 27th, 2010 …think you can't – either way, you're right, so says…Henry Ford, my yoga teacher, and my best friend.

I loved that analogy. . . . → Read More: You Think You Know Alot..Then…
October 24th, 2010 The day I lost my mom I slammed a steel garage door down and effectively stopped all flow of feeling in or out of me. I pursed my lips and set about doing everything that needed to be done. My dad, my children and my brothers and sister were so vulnerable and devastated that I . . . → Read More: Steel Garage Door
October 18th, 2010 Back home, back to my own bed and bath, and back to Bikram. Ahhh, back to basics. There is something to be said for the mundane routines that drive our daily life. They give it rhythm and in times of chaos, ground us, and in times of calmness give us small moments to be thankful . . . → Read More: Back to Basics
October 3rd, 2010 This week brings new explorations for me. I am the driver, merchmaid, and tour manager for my musician friend, Dilana, on her east coast college tour. I'm a new "roadie", so I want to prepare and be ready to hit the road on Friday. I plan to attend my hot yoga for the next 5 . . . → Read More: New Week…New Adventures…
October 2nd, 2010 I have been on this beach for 35 years and still I’m learning new things about it. Meet Hook. He is my pet seagull and he lives on my beach. Whenever I am sitting in my chair eating a snack (chips of any kind) he comes and walks in circles around my chair waiting for . . . → Read More: Seagulls (yoga day off!)
September 28th, 2010 I am happy to report that day four of hot yoga was uneventful! Today I kept my focus on my breath every minute – even during the brief rest periods.
