The End/The Beginning

Saturday, December 31, 2022, Today is the last day of 2022. I'm delighted that I'm on my mat (again, around the 10:30am hour which is atrociously late). I don't know why I feel it, but 2023 will be splendid. Time to begin today's practice.  Part II: As always, the version of oneself that's coming off the mat at the end of practice is superior to the version that got on the mat at the beginning of practice.  Physically, there's still some kinks and other "stuck" or "frozen/solidified" areas of muscle that need to be worked through but, otherwise, a strong and mobile practice.  Mentally, today was a bit unfocused.  I watched a terrible movie a week or so ago that had some frightening/gory imagery in it, and I couldn't shake it out of my head......word to the wise......you are what you eat (literally and figuratively) and once you "ingest" something (with your mouth or your eyes), it's a part of you......so try to only consume ...

Be Not Afraid (Part IV)

Friday, December 30, 2022, For whatever reason, I haven't been on my yoga mat, in earnest, for awhile.  It's a combination of things but, here I am (at 10:09am I might add), on my mat, curious what a practice will bring today.  I say "be not afraid" because I think it's relevant, and a reminder of how one should live one's life (even if one is terribly afraid at any given moment).  Time to begin... Part II: The first time back on the mat was good.  There's definitely some kinks that need to be worked out.  Time to enter the world.  Namaste

Flawed & Imperfect

Wednesday, December 14, 2022, I've had a few practices while I've been away, but the last time I updated this blog was November 21. One forgets how long it's been since one has been on one's mat but, like anything, it can be rebuilt. I am ill as I type this (I have gotten ill more frequently in the past ~4 months than any other time in my life......don't know what's causing it........time to begin.... Part II: I am flawed and imperfect....but my practice helps me accept this, and see through it.  Namaste
