This is the first essay in a series where I look at some of the topics that I touch on in my books. I try to make my books funny and lighthearted, but any time you have murder, you have conflict, and the conflict should be worth something, right? Dear Jessamyn is a podcast I’ve… Continue reading Cheating, polyamory and other ideas about relationships
Speaking of follow-through, I think I have talked myself into training for a sprint Triathlon. Last summer I was part of a team in the Outdoor Divas Triathlon in Longmont, Colorado. My sister had participated in the past, doing the swim leg of the event with friends she had known a long time. Last year… Continue reading Speaking of Follow-Through
Instead of resolutions or goals, I try to do “watchwords” for the new year. I wrote about my watchword for 2019 in our book, Musings of a Yoga Community, available here (I’m pretty proud of it). Last year’s watchword was “order” and I used it to help organize my life. It kind of worked, although… Continue reading New year, New Watchword
My dad used to ski hard. He skied at the top ten percent of his ability. When I was a kid, he would barrel down the mountain, then stop and wait for me and my mom as we leisurely drifted back and forth across the hill. He always waited for us, but when he was… Continue reading Being Thankful on the Darkest Days of the Year

Talking about it feels like bragging, and bragging feels wrong, even though I… Continue reading Shameful Self-promotion
During the month of October, in the spirit of Halloween (get it, spirit?) I am writing posts about things that scare me, or should scare me. Imagine this read aloud in a verry spoooooky voice. I’m reading the book Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson. He’s got a podcast, and I first heard about him on… Continue reading Spooky Halloween Stories- Sleep and Caffeine
I’m so excited to offer a new class at a new location, Grace Yoga Studio, 4520 Garfield, Loveland. It is only 10 minutes south of Harmony Road. (Yes, North Loveland is the new South Fort Collins) It is such a beautiful little studio, in an unexpected location- back behind a salon, tucked into an orchard… Continue reading New Class, New Location
So, the space where I have been teaching my Monday night yoga class is changing soon. I have been sharing mat space with Oriental Moodo School of Colorado, which is also where I have been studying taekwondo for the last 5 or so years. The Dojang is moving to a space that works better for… Continue reading A school is not just a building, you know
I’ve used anatomy illustrations which I have lovingly colored in, to show ideas here on this blog, and I want to share again how great the source of the material is. The book I have is Kapit and Elson’s Anatomy Coloring Book, and I learn something new every time I look at it. It was… Continue reading If you love that book so much, why don’t you marry it?
