It feels like I need to finally get serious. Vacation time has been lovely. It’s been a lot moving and traveling, and exploring. I have a studio space to set up. My table is restored and put back together. My computer has WiFi, is up, running and all ready for me to get to work.Continue reading “Monday”

Three
Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. Bobby Orr, Charles Barkley, and Thomas Saggese. I was too young to fully appreciate Bobby Orr’s hockey career, or the contributions he made to the sport, but I knew there was something pretty special about him, even as a very small child, I felt hisContinue reading “Three”
Blankets in the Heat
How do you relax? Do all roads lead to yoga? Yoga can be relaxing, but I like to relax in a number of ways. A movie, a funny show, cooking, reading, a beach walk, a nice conversation with an easy to talk to friend or family member, painting, drawing. I love to relax in bedContinue reading “Blankets in the Heat”
this one!
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be? I’m going to choose self-esteem. It’s has a hyphen but/so I’m calling it one word. I spent too much time thinking about, worrying about, being told that I had bad or low self-esteem. I seriously came to despise thisContinue reading “this one!”
breath magic
Back to breathing. I digress. When I learned to affect my own breathing, when I learned to tune in and pay attention to breathing, things started to change for me. I hadn’t heard of breath work or conscious breathing before I stumbled into yoga eight years ago. Breath to movement? Never heard of it. ThenContinue reading “breath magic”
Look! Understandable Reactions…
Are you holding a grudge? About? I’m not proud of the grudge I held onto for too many years. I’m sort of embarrassed, but I didn’t know, what I didn’t know. That must be how grudges get started in the first place. Now, with more understanding, I let the past settle where it belongs, inContinue reading “Look! Understandable Reactions…”
Fun Re-regulating Ideas
It’s important that I pay attention to the moments I spend in regulation so that when I fall out, I have ideas. Morning and evening walks have been amazing. The weather is beautiful, the beaches are charming. Pink skies. Little breezes to cool off balmy nights. Walking, I find to be very regulating. Whether I’mContinue reading “Fun Re-regulating Ideas”
See my blog titled t r a v e l , that was me answering the prompt
Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever traveled from home. I’m not sure how it didn’t end up here. 🤔 hmmm I could add another story…
Learning…
I can’t say, for all my natural curiosity, that I always like learning new things. In fact, I might even say that I DON’T like being new to something that I really want to do well. Today I found myself at a yoga class that was different then anything I’ve ever done before. I wasContinue reading “Learning…”
T r a v e l
When I was a kid, I went to eight different schools. We moved from eastern Canada to west. Then back and forth from California a few times. I wonder if moving made me a bit of a homebody. For someone without a current home, I dearly, truly, love all the trappings of home. Before IContinue reading “T r a v e l”
