I’m not sure when it began, but sometime during our nearly 6 years together, I started a tradition of giving Jeff the gift of a new adventure each year for his birthday. I mean, the guy has great taste and can online shop with the best of ’em, so buying him things and stuff is … Continue reading
“All this time I was finding myself, I didn’t know I was lost.” How adequately that sums up the many months since I’ve last posted, mes amis. Finding myself and losing myself all at once. But let me back up and explain a bit, so I don’t just end up quoting a dance club hit … Continue reading
I’m of the opinion that when insomnia strikes, the best remedy is to get yourself out of bed and go write it all down. Because, let’s face it, what’s really happening is the minutes keep ticking away and you keep lying there… thinking thoughts. Thoughts that never end, thoughts that snowball into other thoughts, thoughts … Continue reading
As part of my yoga teacher training, I’ve just started 30 days of daily practice. We’re instructed to take note of each day’s practice and any thoughts, emotions or other revelations that may come up during this process. So, for the next 27 days (I’m already on Day 3), I’m doing a little multi-tasking, showing … Continue reading
Having just completed a yoga teacher training weekend and welcomed spring to Wilmington in a big way (it’s 80 degrees out right now and the world is abloom), I’ m finding myself contemplating the idea of abundance. It’s so easy, especially in times of economic downturn, to worry about all that you lack, to be concerned … Continue reading

It’s less of a track and more of a dusty loop where the dry grass has been worn away by countless Nikes and Asics or, god forbid, off-brand running shoes. It’s a typical steamy Texas morning, not even noon and the heat … Continue reading
Okay, I confess. I admit it fully. Sometimes I really suck at keeping my eyes on my own mat. And I’m not talking about the Manduka Pros or those cool, chunky brightly colored ones that, despite their cushy glory would probably having me slipping and sliding at the first hint of palm sweat. Nope. We’re … Continue reading
And the orange striped sweater for that matter. I was dropping some clothing off at a local consignment shop the other day – drab stuff, things I hadn’t worn in more than a year, sweaters that depressed me, shoes I could scarcely believe ever belonged on my feet. In short: I was soul churning via … Continue reading
Happy (belated) 2012! I wish I could say I had an amazing excuse for essentially allowing December to fall off the calendar entirely. As you’re about to find out, a couple of things did happen (read: sh*t went DOWN), but none of that actaully kept me from my keyboard. Instead, it seems, I needed those … Continue reading
On my way out the door to go photograph these guys I, for some reason, grabbed the white fleece blanket off the edge of my bed and took it with me. I ended up bringing it into every cage I visited to help the cats feel comfortable and to give them a good backdrop. The … Continue reading
