Yoga in the Park

September 28, 2008

What a perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday morning – yoga in the park.  The enthusiastic and entertaining Laura Camp from Monkey Yoga Shala led a fun class at Willard Park in Berkeley.  Live drummers helped us move to the beat.  Laura even had us doing partner poses.  That’s her in the handstand above.  [...]

A New Shower Head

July 29, 2008

We live in an old home with old pipes. Over the years our shower has slowly become less and less powerful.  Brian ordered a new shower head made for low water pressure.  When he went to switch the old one out, he was surprised to find gravel stuck in the old shower head.  We have [...]

Fresh Start

May 22, 2008

This week was all about starting anew. My schedule had been off kilter ever since getting back from my London trip. My parents came for a nice visit the weekend following and then my dear friend Brighid from Chicago came to stay after that. And then I got a not-so-fun-visit from the stomach flu bug. [...]

Backyard Yoga and Dream Boxes

March 7, 2008

It’s been another full week and challenging for me to keep up with all the great things going on. I did make a point on Wednesday to take advantage of the gorgeous spring-like weather by practicing yoga in my backyard. With the sun shining overhead, birds chirping in the trees and the cool breeze on [...]

Mandala Magic

February 16, 2008

Our Creative Playground met at Laura’s lovely home for an afternoon of mandala making. A mandala (which means means circle or completion in Sanskrit) symbolizes wholeness. Laura explained that in Sanskrit, bindu means particle or dot and is the center point of the mandala. It’s a place of infinite capacity. We are always moving toward [...]

A Sip of Serenity – AEDM Day 19

November 19, 2007

After a full week and weekend, I savored some open, spacious time this Monday morning. The scent of Tahitian vanilla filled the room as I brewed a cup of Yogi Comfort tea and sat down with my paints and papers. Ahhh, it felt good to give myself permission to simply create. I love the peacefulness [...]

Blessings and Synchronicity

October 11, 2007

Yesterday morning, I reconnected with my blessings box which sits on a little altar in my meditation/yoga room/coaching office. Whenever I’m moved, I’ll write what I’m grateful for on a handmade “I am blessed” card and place it in my blessings box. Reading my cards filled me with deep appreciation and joy as I was [...]

Cat Naps and Mini-Vacations

August 18, 2007

One of my favorite things to do is read (and nap!) in my hammock, especially on a gorgeous day like today. It’s like a little mini-vacation! I savor the cool breeze rustling through the leaves and the sunshine peaking through the trees branches overhead. My dog Emmett likes to join me outside, too (he’s known [...]

Follow Your Nose

July 27, 2007

This afternoon, I took a long walk with my dog Emmett to destress from the week. We hiked through the redwoods of Joaquin Miller Park which is just up the road from my house. Actually, I let Emmett walk me. (Brian does this sometimes when he’s curious to see where Emmett will go.) I thought [...]
