In Da Club I am thrilled at the response to my yoga post! Don’t you just love the thought that we are all in our own separate lives, but yet together? I like to imagine you all just adding touches of loving-kindness and asana throughout your day. I think we could have a monthly check-in, […]
A New Kind of Yoga Challenge
January 13, 2025 by 73 Comments
It’s that time of year where people are making all sorts of goals; specifically, it seems, health and wellness goals. I miss teaching yoga, a little, at this time of year because my classes always had some enthusiastic and curious new students. I really loved it, introducing people to yoga and specifically introducing them to […]
Twelve Drillers Drilling
January 6, 2025 by 48 Comments
Today is the twelfth day of Christmas, and I am celebrating with dental work! Apparently two fillings I have in my mouth, dating from 1982, are cracking and causing fissures in my molars.

The Very Next Day, You Gave It Away
December 16, 2024 by 57 Comments
In a very uncharacteristic move, last week I angrily unfollowed a Facebook account after a highly unsatisfactory and, for me, infuriating exchange. It is my general policy to not comment on anything I disagree with; rather, I merely scroll past or mute. It takes a lot for me to become upset enough to unfollow a […]
Five For Friday: The 2024 Five Star Edition
December 13, 2024 by 46 Comments
Five Star Books. I suffer terribly from both recency bias and an inability to remember when, exactly, events occur, and between those two things and the volume of books I read every year, I rarely can answer what were your favourite reads this year without referring to a detailed spreadsheet. For example, before I wrote […]
