I just listened to a podcast about pleasure and pain. I guess I’m a Hedonist. I’ve probably evolved into a more responsible one over the years, but I’m pretty sure I’ve always preferred pleasure. I used to think that pain equals good and pleasure equals bad, which explains all the marathons and 5am gym attendance.Continue reading “Guilty Grasshoppers”

Tradition!
How do you celebrate holidays? Remember Fiddler on the Roof? I have always loved tradition. I love hearing about every cultures celebrations. I love that as humans we have a long history of celebrating. It seems to me that celebration is a kind of thankfulness. We repeat this year after year passing a little ofContinue reading “Tradition!”
Hippie Thanksgiving
Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail. I accidentally gave my husband food poisoning. It’s kind of a long story. In the 90s, before it was a thing, I found a farm that had free range turkeys for thanksgiving. I was all about eating food that was raised kindly. I wanted a turkeyContinue reading “Hippie Thanksgiving”
one of those days
Ever had one? Ugh. Nothing went smoothly, no one was friendly, I didn’t drink enough water, I didn’t get enough sleep. Even as the sun shone brightly, the wind kept me from feeling warm. Oh man. I felt every feeling of home sickness. My website is broken, I can’t figure out how to fix it.Continue reading “one of those days”

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. There are so many things I’ve learned that would have been helpful earlier in my life. Conscious breathing comes to mind, but the one thing I’ve learned most recently, is about regulation. I used to think that when a thing was ‘fixed’ it shouldContinue reading “Flux”
For the Love of FOOD
What are your favorite types of foods? Hard to choose… I have a wide pallet. I love many different foods so to name favorites is going to challenge me. Food is centering. Any event, any tradition, any custom or culture has a strong cuisine at its core. I personally relish this! How we eat, whatContinue reading “For the Love of FOOD”
brain body phenomenon
There is this one kind of yoga that I got attached to years ago. After every class my brain felt like it had melted into my body. It was as if I’d had a massage or a nap. Everyone would stand around after class and wonder about what exactly we were experiencing. At the timeContinue reading “brain body phenomenon”
Walks
How often do you walk or run? Every day. Lately, I’ve been walking most mornings on the boardwalk. Often I add a little run as I pass people. It’s a nice quick two and a half miles. It starts and ends in a hilly park with lovely trees. It makes me miss my friend everyContinue reading “Walks”
Yikes
Making a website is hard! One minute it’s all working fine and then suddenly bam! Nothing is! Wasn’t it just yesterday that it was looking so good? I’m feeling the learning curve. I heard a podcast that suggested I make it my mantra that everything I do is helping me move toward my ultimate goals.Continue reading “Yikes”
Me?
Do you see yourself as a leader? In a word , no. I do not see myself as a leader. I’m maybe a middle of the pack personality. I grew up in a world where leaders were what you were supposed to want to be. Even now Instagram ads are wanting me to sign upContinue reading “Me?”
