Musings
About yoga, life, and how hard it is to sit still.
The rollercoaster ride of being a coach
I love old-fashioned rollercoasters. They are shaky, unpredictable, and look like they’ve been put together with duct tape, but they also make your heart soar.
Love is bigger. Right?
The truth of how we are living together as a community of humans is hard to carry. And I am part of it.
What time is made of
This is what time should be made of: trust, breathing, thoughts unfolding, bodies at ease.
Where intolerance comes from
Intolerance is that sense of, if I wouldn’t do it like that or don’t quite get it, then it can’t be valuable at all.
3 lessons I learned from my coaches
And when I say “learned,” I really mean they listened it out of me.
Poppies, cornflowers, and the way we live
Is all the burn-out and discomfort a consequence of us not taking the time to bring ourselves along?
I am the box I am in
There is warmth in my delusions. But do they also keep me from truly living my life?
The island in me
Every morning, as I breathe in silence, I try to return to the island within.
The privilege of doing what I need to do
Why is it so hard for me to be accountable to the things I already know I need?
Love is something else
There are a lot of divorces all around me, as well as marriages that by all accounts could benefit from breaking up.
A celebration of public libraries
This is what I would like my tax dollars to pay for: a quiet, safe, sheltered space for learning and thought, open to all.
Lifeguarding, yoga, and opting in
It wasn’t camaraderie that helped me pass my lifeguarding course. It was yoga.
In which yoga is like a GPS
What I love about yoga is its ability be right-sized for what I need, every single day.
We make the path as we go
Sometimes it’s about knowing. Sometimes it’s just about the vibe.
When breathing is impossible
There is only one remedy: sitting, in silence and quiet, for as long as my mind will let me.
