Teaching is Fun.
This is as close to blogging under the influence as I will ever get: blogging after a day of teacher training. Similar effect, only less funny and much, much nicer.
I was more nervous practice teaching for five minutes this morning than I have been since I taught my first full class. Of course, as [...]
Right Place, Right Time
First of all, I wore flip-flops today. I wore them outside, on my way to teach in Towson this afternoon. If for no reason other than that, life is very, very good. Also, the lavender polish is growing on me. It is a pleasant change.
That aside, the 500 hour training started tonight. When I signed [...]
Misbehaving Tuesday: Audio Edition
Around 3:45 today I was standing in my kitchen, trying to decide whether to go to a yoga class tonight. I knew I had been busy all day, but I did not feel like I had gotten anything done, and considered that maybe I should stay home and be productive. Then I looked at my [...]
Stillness
Today was day five of a seven day hot yoga marathon. There is no one good reason why I am doing this, other than feeling like I need a little detox, particularly before the crazy kicks off next week. I did this once before, sometime last year, and I don’t remember it having quite as [...]
Time
In the car on the way up to Philly yesterday morning, it hit me again: there is not enough time.
This has been happening a lot lately. Mortality has been hanging there; it’s an almost physical presence urging me on, to go, go, go, because there is no time to waste.

Retreat
Today was a festive new years / detox yoga retreat out in Reisterstown at Pearlstone Retreat Center, lead by the lovely Camille. It was a good day of lots of yoga and a little meditation. Highlights:
Early on, I got it – the three areas where my whole soul needs to focus right now, much clearer [...]
One Foot in the Past, One Foot in the Future
Sometime in the middle of May of last year, I got this intense feeling that things were about to change, that there was a major transition happening. I didn’t know then that the transition I was feeling was going to carry me through the rest of the year, and it is still just getting started. [...]

As we grow up there are certain tasks that we must face, no matter how unpleasant they may seem. With the privilege of being a mature and independent human being, there comes responsibility, to ourselves, our world, and our families. Some we take on willingly and happily; others we take on with the grudging acceptance [...]
Driving in the Dark
Teaching has been a little bumpy lately. For the past few weeks, I have been feeling simultaneously like I absolutely must teach more, and, in the hours before a class, like I absolutely can not teach at all.
I usually have an idea of what I am going to teach a week at a time, and [...]
