June 18th, 2013 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

June 13th, 2013 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.

June 11th, 2013 This morning’s Bikram yoga class was not about starting, it was about stopping. Standing head to knee is still my nemesis pose. “Lock your left leg and reach down and pick up your right foot”, instructs the teacher. I reach down, fall sideways, straighten up, reach down again and this time I grab it. I’m . . . → Read More: Stopping
June 9th, 2013 This weekend my husband and I had a great time building a new fire pit in the backyard. This involved shoveling shells. Now, you may not think of shells as something to shovel.

June 8th, 2013 Being a kindergarten teacher for over twenty years, glitter has been a huge part of my life. Show a kindergarten child how to make a thin line with Elmer’s glue, sprinkle some glitter on it, shake of the excess and voila! you’ve transformed plain pencil lines into a thing of beauty, translates as: squirt half . . . → Read More: What I Didn’t Know About Glitter
