And on the days it burns the most, I write. Rooted in emotion, my words effortlessly flow. I release my heart from what it knows. I find clarity, breathe, and let go. But on this day, it burns the most of the most. I can not write; my words ghost my soul. They spare it […]
I’m studying yoga, and the very first day of our 10 week course, we discussed ”vrata.” Vrata is Sanskrit for vow. This word comes up often in our online studies, as well as the implications of vrata throughout yogic history. We learned that vrata connects inner intentions with outer actions, which is the essence of […]
I’m a swimmer, but I don’t surf. However, I imagine surfing takes the same practice, patience, grit, balance, thick skin, and ability to read the water, just like swimming. Great swimmers have a natural feel for the water, and create movement from that. Great surfers have a natural feel for how the water moves, and create […]
My years are marked by wrinkles and responsibilities. They are 14 and 12. My skin folds when I forget to tighten my belly before I look at it. Gravity is not friendly in your 40’s. But my belly is. It gave me two children. My hands are cracked from dishes and shoveling in arctic temps. […]
I am not a woman of power, but I am a woman of might. I am not a woman without fear, but I am a woman who fights for her life. I am not a tireless woman, but I am endlessly resilient. I am not a woman with great confidence, but I am a woman […]
Celestial. Connection. Deep in the mind. Options. Miles. Revealed more with time. Hands. Vision. Draw a line, make a pact. Goals. Dreams. Move off the tracks. Remember. Share. The list, take a chance. Wait. Wait. For a list with a dance.
I’ve been taking lots of walks the last few weeks. No headphones, no music, no phone. Just me and my dog. I don’t really know where I’m going nor do I care. I don’t wear a watch, and without my phone, I have no concept of time. I go on a walkabout ala Crocodile Dundee. […]
No one taught me patience. I’m not blaming anyone, it’s simply a Gen X observation. I mean, I technically learned it as a kid when I waited my turn for the bubbler (aka: drinking fountain if you’re not from Wisconsin). I also had to wait two whole weeks for the library book that was already […]
I’m a little obsessed with architecture. Specifically, beautiful windows and doors. They scream for photo ops, and I’m all for posing in front of these glossy black windows on the streets of New Orleans. My gold UA high tops are a jazzy touch. #NOLAvibes #apresbar #avantgardegirl #architecture #blackandwhite #beautifulcontrast
I thought a lot about my first attempt at the whole blog dealio. Deciding to do the dealio was easy. Deciding what to say today, not so much. Surely I will be judged by this initial post—by my words and my wit, or lack thereof. In fact, I just added the word ‘dealio’ to my […]
