Inspirations
« Previous EntriesI Blame Pinterest
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012I’ve been away from this blog for quite a while (again). It’s not a lack of ideas, it’s more a lack of computer time. For example, I’ve had a great post relating my blogging pattern to a predator-prey population curve brewing in my head for months (TGAW inspired!–I LOVE how she often relates everyday occurrences [...]
A Resolution for All
Monday, January 2nd, 2012I’ve never been a big New Year’s resolution-maker. I’ve dabbled with it some years, but mostly I just find it to be another thing to add to my list of self-criticism when I slip or finally give up. Last year, I decided that instead of resolutions, I would aim to live with intention. It has [...]
Honor Where You Are
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011I’ve been mulling over all sorts of ideas for a “return to this space” blog post after my long absence, but tonight, I’m just going to jump back into it. I read a blog post by a fellow yogini that really rang true to me, with a message that I felt should be spread as [...]
Be Thankful
Saturday, October 15th, 2011After a glorious day filled with yoga, alpacas, rainbows, community spirit, apple crisp thrice, warm potluck fun, and of course-family, I am driven to write a post of gratitude. Today was a day full of positives, but perhaps perspective had something to do with it. In searching for words to express how powerful an attitude [...]
Are You Happy?
Monday, August 8th, 2011A great re-post from the prAna blog…. Breath, life, vitality of the spirit. Thanks, prAna blog, for making it so simple!
Heart of the Penguin
Tuesday, March 15th, 2011My brother Steven sent me a link to a great article today. Sue Flood, an “award-winning photographer and wildlife film-maker” who has been taking pictures in the Arctic and Antarctica for 20 years, found an emperor penguin chick with a love heart bib. I love hearts in nature; I think it shows that love is [...]
Riding the Breath
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011I am so inspired by tonight’s ashtanga practice at Central Street Yoga! We had a great group of yogis and yoginis, all of whom had practiced ashtanga before, and most of whom have been practicing it since I moved to the Bangor, Maine area and began teaching it here in July 2010 (and a couple [...]
A Holiday Gift and A New Year’s Reflection
Friday, January 7th, 2011We spent the holidays in New Jersey with my family this year. My brother Steven was home from San Francisco, and my brother Bob and his fiance Justine spent a lot of time at my parents’ house, too. With all six of us together, and lots of other visiting family and friends, paired with the [...]
All in a Year
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010My baby turned 1 year old just under a week ago. Oh, how time flies. Elizabeth Stone really wasn’t kidding when she said, “Making the decision to have a child – it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking outside your body.” I can’t even begin to express how wonderful [...]
The Light in Me Sees the Light in You
Tuesday, December 28th, 2010Namaste. If you’ve ever been to a yoga class, chances are you’ve heard it. It is one of my favorite sentiments learned from yoga, and when embodied fully, I feel like it can do amazing things. As explained in depth on the Yoga Journal page, “the gesture Namaste represents the belief that there is a [...]
