Why Vegan?

Back in the winter, Leigha Hall, who writes the My Bikram Yoga Life blog, was blogging about transitioning to veganism. She was already a vegetarian and handling that well. Her vegan adventures just seemed really hard and cumbersome, so I left her a comment about it. She took my comment and hoped I didn’t mind . . . → Read More: Why Vegan?

Pink Wine

Ten years ago I was introduced to wine. I didn’t understand wine. It didn’t taste very good, so my husband suggested I try white zin. White zin was a very pretty pink wine, a bit sweet and I fell in love with it. After about five years my husband suggested I branch out. Try white . . . → Read More: Pink Wine

Make A World

This morning someone was on Rachel Ray giving relationship advice. I don’t know who because I was vacuuming and emptying the garbage while he was talking. It was one little simple thing that he said that made me stop shaking out the garbage bag and pay attention. He said:

“Don’t go out and look for . . . → Read More: Make A World

Making Space

A few posts ago I likened life to a bucket. It can only hold so much. A time will come when things down on the bottom stagnate and you have to take some stuff out to make space for new things. I did that today.

Middle Ground

Yoga class tonight was what I describe as a middle ground class. Marvelous Meg was the teacher and had us giggling and singing throughout the class. The room was perfect – open doors and open windows. I was well-prepared with no muscle problems. Yet – I didn’t rock the class. I just floated through with . . . → Read More: Middle Ground

Adventures

“One is never afraid of the unknown; one is afraid of the known coming to an end.”

I had a completely different topic to write about today, but I opened my email and that quote snapped up off the screen and swatted me right between the eyes. I thought Oh wow! . . . → Read More: Adventures

Gratitude Saturday

Saturday is the end of the week. Time to use my new view of discovering what I give gratitude for today. Remember? I ask myself: What did I do this week to make my life better?

Here’s what I came up with: 1. My wine glass holder sitting here in my plant next to my . . . → Read More: Gratitude Saturday

They’ll Figure It Out

We were building a new fire pit in our backyard last week and decided to line the area with clam shells. It was my job to drive to the place where I thought they sold them and get a price. I went to the place and found no one in the office. It was locked . . . → Read More: They’ll Figure It Out

Get Your Ooh La La! On

I have always been into what makes me, “me”. I always thought it was important to pay attention to my packaging in order to put myself out into the world in a way that will make a difference. Fashion, color, and glitter – yes, glitter and all things that sparkle – were always high on . . . → Read More: Get Your Ooh La La! On
