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 [...]
Knitting with Intention
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011During our last visit to New Jersey, a relaxing post-yoga chat over tea with my good friend Mary Beth revolutionized my knitting technique. She didn’t teach me a new stitch, or how to do some funky Fair Isle pattern… she just changed the way I think about knitting. I learned to knit since my move [...]
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 [...]
Theo, my love (aka Cacao, wow!)
Monday, July 12th, 2010This just in (but not news to me): Chocolate, aka Theobroma cacao aka cocoa, is GOOD for you! Like, realllly good!

The Little Things
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010The little things make a big difference. That’s why you should pledge to do something EVERY DAY to help the Earth. Really, every day is Earth Day… now, if only people embodied that, heart and soul! This world would be a much cleaner, healthier, happier world! If you’re on facebook, why don’t you log in [...]
Yoga: The Panacea
Monday, March 15th, 2010Tonight I completed my first full Ashtanga yoga practice in over a week and I feel absolutely fantastic! I really think yoga is a panacea, or a cure-all. I am going to re-energize my practice and get back into feeling great every day! Earlier today I felt really cruddy. I think it was a combination of the [...]
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sunday, February 28th, 2010I just wanted to write a quick thank you to everyone who responded to my last post about my daughter Madeline’s hearing loss. If you didn’t read it, you can find it HERE. I am so moved by the amount of love and support and the positive messages that have poured forth since my posting [...]
Back to the Mat… as Momma!
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010This morning I woke up to a wonderfully white winter wonderland… a perfect day for baking, blogging, and playing in the snow with my little darling! And so… it’s a perfect time to write about my first night back to Ashtanga since I gave birth to Maddie! Last night I packed up my darling yogi [...]
Heart of Nature Favorites: Lucy James Photography
Sunday, January 31st, 2010Photography is an art that I enjoy pursuing, as long as it includes lots of trees, dirt, plants, fungi, animals, creepy-crawlies, or rocks… the wilder and nearer to the heart of the wilderness, the better. I’ve never considered myself “good” at portraiture or pictures of people. Granted, I do think that I have a decent “eye” for [...]
Mad about Madeline… and Motherhood!
Friday, January 8th, 2010I’m a mom!! Madeline Joyce Wilkin was born on December 23rd, 2009 at 9:51pm. She weighed 7lb 5oz and was 20.5 inches long at birth. She is an absolute JOY! When I say I’m “mad” about her, of course I mean the definition that means crazy-in-love, and not the one that means angry… She is [...]
