A couple months ago I attended a special kundalini class. The teacher, a friend said something that really struck me, “We are all in the same soup.” Little did I know how much this sentence would mean later. At the time it inflected a strong sense of community. She spoke of one feeling goodContinue reading “THE SAME SOUP”

A Day In The Life
I thought it would be interesting to encapsulate what a typical day is like as a yoga teacher almost 5 years into teaching. I always like to know about other routines and occupations so hopefully someone out there finds this interesting. I decided to document one of my busiest days, Thursday when I teach 4Continue reading “A Day In The Life”
A YEAR LATER
Wow, so the last time I wrote a post was last December, which in the blog world isn’t probably too unusual. Life, right? Things shift, life gets busy, small endeavors get crowded out. As much as I don’t want to admit, I’m human, I can only do so much. Last June. Smiling on the outsideContinue reading “A YEAR LATER”
Crow~DA
For a while I’ve been looking to shift how I felt about social media, mostly Instagram, my social media drug of choice. I kind of just wanted to say, “Eff it, what’s the best thing I could do on here right now to be real?” Something just for myself. Not carefully crafted images, something rawContinue reading “Crow~DA”
SPANISH TALES
“Rothio, make sure Leah gets up,” Tara says. “Leah you better get up.” Leah gets defensive, “I’ll get up, stop! I’m only late to things that don’t matter.” It’s late & we are momentarily silent. We hold on tightly to the end of the night that smells of both fresh air & mosquito repellant. TheContinue reading “SPANISH TALES”
LESSONS FROM A TATTOO
It’s been a tradition to get tattooed every year since I got sober right around my sobriety date. I had to take some time off when I was pregnant & after I gave birth. Getting tattooed kind of falls by the wayside when you have a small baby. I was ready to get back intoContinue reading “LESSONS FROM A TATTOO”
FIVE DOLLAR TREASURE
H & I were making the rounds last week, shopping & purchasing supplies for our mini glamping trip & my upcoming trip to California. He relentlessly pelted me with entreaties for treats & toys. Whew, he knows how to push my buttons & wait for the right opportunity. I obviously don’t want to get inContinue reading “FIVE DOLLAR TREASURE”
BEST COAST
Some pictures from our recent visit to the Oregon coast: Nehalem Ecola State Park Indian Beach If you have a chance to go, I recommend exploring this area which is pretty direct west of Portland. The Oregon coast is very different than what I was formally used to in California. It’s rare to spot aContinue reading “BEST COAST”
THE WEIGHT OF THINGS
Ever since I can remember I’ve struggled with my conceptions of my physical appearance. I’ve been curvy since those hormones smashed into me at age 12 & I swear if I just side glance a carbohydrate of any sort, my pants hug me a little tighter. I joke around with my mom that there’s someContinue reading “THE WEIGHT OF THINGS”
BONDAGE OF SELF
Someone may see a glossy picture of me on social media & think that whatever day I had, it was a good one. That I’m doing just fine. I have a solid higher power, a supportive family, my son, a supportive AA family, & duh, yoga. All this stuff is very true (& more) &Continue reading “BONDAGE OF SELF”
