I didn’t succeed at my 200 day challenge. I just couldn’t complete the number of classes I would need to make up to do it. I took my son to New Mexico for spring break, I couldn’t find a yoga studio, I got asked to work in California, and I realized I was just not… Continue reading I Give Up: I Can’t Complete the 200 Days of Yoga Challenge!

Not Going to Make My 100 Days of Yoga Goal
It has become clear to me that I am not going to make my goal of 100 yoga classes in 100 days. The end of the 100 days is about 10 days away and I am down 9 classes. It was an optimistic goal. I was on track until I went on a trip.… Continue reading Not Going to Make My 100 Days of Yoga Goal

Not Cool Enough for Facebook: Social Media Manners
I am a grown-up. Well, most of the time. But Facebook adds an element to my life sometimes that makes me feel like a gangling, unattractive 14 year old who wasn’t invited to the slumber party. It is a weird phenomenon to read about a bunch of my friends who got together and didn’t invite… Continue reading Not Cool Enough for Facebook: Social Media Manners
After Day 42 of Yoga: I Feel Fatigued
After day 42, I admit it, I am tired. I don’t want to be tired. I like the daily practice. In my head, I want to keep going and going on this extended challenge.

Faux Shopping Day
I did some shopping today. I bought a couple of light jackets but I didn’t have a good winter coat. I was pretty sure I wanted something interesting–artsy even.
