Yoga Saga

Well, hello again!

I have gone back to my original yoga book. sigh. Rodney is just a little too hard core for me these days. I will work up to him, because that is such a great book and I feel wonderful the more I practice yoga. There, I confessed to my 2 steps back.

More to come. Pottery too. I promise!

Have a beautiful day!

P.S. Feng Shui is really working for me.... Feeling out in the cold so to speak and wanting some help in life I cleared the garbage from my "helpful people" sector (yes, cleaning of any kind anywhere will probably help regardless but wait for it...) and not 1 hour later my Dad called to say he was on his way up to do some work with my husband on this outrageously scary big project we have going on. Wow. Thanks God! (that's how my Dad says it, I have always liked it best this way)

28 Days was a long time ago

Well, I finished my 28 Day Yoga book ages ago. Yeah for me! And now I want more (I think), so as a birthday treat (Thank you Bob and Gean) I went out and bought another Yoga book!


This one is a lot more intense but I think I'm going to like it. The one snag is finding an hour and some space in my tiny cold house...

Which means some time cleaning.

Day 13

I just completed day 13 of my "28 Day Exercise Plan"... I know, it seems totally unrelated to my studio work and that is what I really must focus on now ('cause geeze, it's about time!) But, I am sticking to something (which may lead to sticking to everything) important to me and perhaps conquering the voices of my past. Yes, I am this old and have had this much therapy and this much spiritual practice under my belt and still these voices persist. Time to say good-bye to them or at least turn them down a bit... or drown them out with something more useful, like a good deep breath, which I noticed is where I seemed to stop in this book on previous attempts through the years. I will now allow myself to breathe deeply and take in my fill completely in every way.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said: "If I didn't pray for two hours everyday, I don't know how I would get everything done."

p.s. I would like to thank my friend (however distant) Jeremy for the inspiration. You teach even without being present!

Deep Breath... here I go!

I have just finished Day 5 of Yoga 28 Day Exercise Plan.... This is my usual stopping point. I have had this book for almost 20 years! Holy cow! I have had many other intentions and plans for this long and longer... NOW is the time. In so many ways this is the time... If you look at the news or look at the stars, which ever suits your personal out look, you cannot deny that "the times they are a changin' " So, Deep breath (which is day 5's practice) and a changin' I will go. I deeply believe by living to my most authentic I will be doing my part to make this world a better place for us all. And a big part of that is communicating from my heart, (so hello bloggoshere!) I haven't done that before. I, and I suspect a great many of us, have been hiding and keeping quiet. Thank you to all those in Wall Street for the inspiration. (Yes, I know... can 'o worms with no segue, oh well, you'll live) Have a great day and breath deeply! This is a beautiful planet and we are all beautiful tender souls, let's try to see each other that way, just for the day :)

OK Let's Try this again...

My amazing and inspiring friend Idabelle has just launched her jewelry business and started a blog. Which naturally got me thinking about my own neglected business dreams... So here I am back from the edge of reason staring into the land of bytes and gigabytes. (yeah, I know, but it sounds computery)

Hello!

I have (finally!) completed a studio overhaul/rearranging/decluttering/feng shuiing jag that will soon lead to regular Open Studio Hours. Stay tuned!

"Soft" opening is scheduled for October 16,
with a "Grand Opening" the first week end in November.

Off ?


I took the summer "off", which translates to, I was really busy. I had H out of day care for the summer session and thought it would be a lot of empty days... not so! We were on the go quite a lot this summer. 

I'd like to send a BIG THANKS to all of the people we visited! It was so much fun! Hilton Head, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Ohio... and NYC.  

This is I believe the quintessential picture of the summer.

 It took her months but she finally got brave enough to jump right in. (she was just waiting for the right outfit)

 I hope you have all had a great summer. I am looking forward to the Dog Days ahead of us and posting more.
