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”

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”
Curating a Good Life
It’s been a whirlwind of a month and I have been busy every day with things I don’t usually do. Today is the day after Labor Day. A fitting time to get a routine started. I loved my life in California, I miss all my family and friends terribly. I also miss the rhythm ofContinue reading “Curating a Good Life”
Home
What does your ideal home look like? I’m still a stranger in a strange land. And quite between homes, missing mine and everything that used to be familiar, completely. Now I just have too many questions and I don’t understand most of the answers. Aesthetically I’m lost. Function trumps form, (I’ve been reminded of thisContinue reading “Home”
