As I sit here munching on my veggies drinking water …. I’m having a hard time coming up with words. I blame that mostly on the lack of wine. But also the fact that I have so much to say it’s all jumbled in my head. And also because I haven’t blogged in forevs’ so … Continue reading

I am Present to…
Not Knowing. We’re in such a hurry to get somewhere. To work, to an appointment, to our next step in life. Promotion, marriage, house, babies, maybe not necessarily all in that order. But – the next best thing, we want it and we want it now. It gets exhausting. Un-enjoyable. How are we even appreciating … Continue reading
What is?
Apparently everyone says that here. “What is?” Like… ‘what’s up?’ , ‘how are ya?’ Finally in Hawaii after what seemed like a month long of partying, saying goodbyes, planning, organizing, stressing… and I would do it all over again. What a great month with family and friends… surrounded by love. And dealing out some things … Continue reading
Thank You — to an Ex
So … I made a commitment after Level One (we’ll talk more about that later), to write/blog more, mostly inspired by Gary. But sitting at my parents house the other night, well into a glass of wine (or possibly a box), and a bag of pretzels — Gillian FB’ed me and asked me to write … Continue reading
A Gory Savasana
This seemed something private that I wasn’t going to share with many people, but somehow getting those really gory, super secret juicy details out in the open is majorly refreshing. Savasana – At Level One … I believe it was day four (that is questionable because it all seemed like a long flowing dream that somehow … Continue reading
Hawaii — Say What!?
Everyone keeps asking me why I’m moving to Hawaii… Friend: “April, you’re moving to Hawaii?? WHY?” Me: “Why the Fuck not?” No but really…. I mean if I go back to the beginning and analyze the whole story about how I ended up going to HI in the first place – how I accidentally bought … Continue reading
Peace from Loss
I was reminded yesterday that I actually have a blog. Oops… I’ve been neglecting, and forgetting how nice it is to get my thoughts out on ‘paper’. Tons of reading lately but not much writing. One of the books I’ve started is “A New Earth – Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose” – Eckhart Tolle. Reading through … Continue reading
FEAR
Photo Cred: Joe Longo Photography Like headlights blinding you….. that’s what fear does. Turn around, look at it straight on and bring it to a screeching halt. Fear – it cripples you, it holds you back and it will run you over. FEAR doesn’t exist. It’s in the future – it’s make believe – it’s our ego – it’s … Continue reading
LOVE List
One of our homework assignments for YTT “Yoga Teacher Training” was to make a list of all the things we love on two pages. At first I was thinking ‘wow two pages is a lot’ but once I started I realized I could fill up a whole notebook and then some. There are a million … Continue reading
Wake the Fuck Up
This is what I learned in yoga tonight. (and by tonight I mean last Tuesday April 23rd because that’s how behind I am with blogging). I haven’t been blogging a lot about my yoga teacher training experience for a few reasons. ONE: haven’t had much time. The training seshies on the weekends are IN-tense to say … Continue reading
