blog follow-ups & a confession of a pescatarian
First, I wanted to take a quick second for a few small follow-ups: After some thought and reading responses to my name change post, the current leader for a new URL is GreenJunkieLiving.com. Any last suggestions/affirmations? I’ll likely begin the transition next week. I also wanted to make sure everyone’s seen the most recent healing [...]
poetry is yoga is poetry
As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I’ve been working on a bit of a poetry project here with a colleague. This is one of those things that came together rather magically, and I didn’t even know how much I wanted it until it happened. I’d put it on my vision board sort of by fluke [...]
gluten frustrations
Recently I wrote a CSL guest post about staying healthy while traveling. For me, part of that means avoiding gluten. As I mentioned, I decided long ago that I’ll be careful as can be, but won’t live in fear of accidentally eating gluten. Unfortunately, I think I’ve slacked on doing my due diligence to keep [...]
a slow transition to (mostly) vegan — part ii
Some people, like Lindsay, the kitchen genius behind Happy Herbivore, believe that being vegan is like being pregnant: you either are or you are not. You can’t be “sort of” vegan. I, on the other hand, choose to “embrace the gray,” to quote my dear friend Brigit. And I’m not alone. Even raw food goddess [...]
patience – advice?
Inspired by super awesome friend Jen–who strikes a wonderful balance of keeping it real and staying positive on her blog, Holistic Health Junkie–I’m calling on you, my gorgeous readers, for advice. I realized something today about my struggle with patience, and would love some help figuring out what to do. My big problem is noise. [...]
i cannot cover the world in leather…
As any regular reader (or good friend) knows, I’m really working on being a more patient person. At times I think this is sort of a sick joke–I want to learn to be patient right now! Obviously, that’s not how things work. The good news is, I do think it’s happening, bit by bit. I [...]
intention: begin again, again.
So much for my daily yoga streak. I was so excited about day 14 because it would signal the half-way point to making yoga a habit. (Don’t people say it takes 28 days?) But by day 14, my body needed a break, any and every break I could give it. The long hours of work, [...]
day xi intention: knee strength
Given the knee problems I’ve been having lately, it struck me as a good idea to focus my good energy on my knees for yesterday’s practice. I wasn’t really in the mood to spend some quality time with my mat, and I think part of that was my concern over joint pain. But, given my [...]
surya namaskara practice: day iv
Today’s intention: patience. It has come to my attention that I am not a patient person. I didn’t believe it was true at first, but when your partner and your best friend both tell you this (and more than once), perhaps it’s time to wake up and listen. And if this has been glaringly obvious [...]
