Before we left on our trip, a friend of mine told me that her favourite part about any holiday is being on the plane, heading towards the destination, because at that point the trip is just beginning and all the fun is ahead of you. I agreed with the sentiment, but I can’t say the […]

Here Today…Gone To Maui
February 18, 2012 by 6 Comments
In case you were wondering where I’ve been, I just got home from two weeks in the paradise that is Maui. O-o-almost paradise! We’re looking on heaven’s door. Almost paradise!

It’s Groundhog Day, or, as I like to call it, the least relevant day of the year if you live where I do. I don’t care what’s happening in the rest of the world – six more weeks of winter would be an early spring; we’ve been having unseasonably mild weather which makes me a […]

Jake was getting more and more agitated and more and more defiant about it, when he burst out “We are not in Scotland, Mom! We are […]

The New York Times recently published an article entitled How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body, spurring outrage throughout the yoga community, insofar as yogis can actually be outraged. For me, I read the article and had a number of reactions and feelings, so much so that I needed some time to organize my thoughts. The general […]
