It’s Not Every Day You Get To…

…read a book about chickens: …watch turtle races: …hold a red-headed, pig-tailed baby: …see your uncle hold a giant snapping turtle in his bare hands: …end your evening with your very own fireworks show:

More Cool Kansas Stuff

Amazing honey latte & baci gelato (yes, I said Kansas, not Italy): The world’s largest teddy bear: A snake in love with its own reflection: A troll who is angry: Because he’s chained under a bridge: The Keeper of the Plains: p.s. unlike yesterday’s post, all of the above photos were taken by me!

Cool Things I’ve Come Across in Kansas So Far

Kansas’ largest barn: Bison jerky: Fireflies: Red-headed woodpecker: Fireworks:

Be with those who help your being

No time for a “real” post, but I wanted to share this poem I came across today: Be with those who help your being Be with those who help your being. Don’t sit with indifferent people, whose breath comes cold out of their mouths. Not these visible forms, your work is deeper. A chunk of dirt thrown in the air breaks [...]

Summer Bounty

My mom, the kids and I are leaving town tomorrow for a road trip to my favorite vacation destination. Yes, once again, we’re off to Kansas! Among my many chores and preparations today was using as much produce as I could so I wouldn’t have to throw it out. Tonight’s dinner featured a salad of [...]

July 4: No Fireworks

In my practice, at least -- I did a short practice this morning in the motel room before everyone woke up and it was a good way to start the day. I felt much calmer and more relaxed all day. I really need to do a vigorous full primary series practice to burn off some of the calories I've consumed. My relatives are all excellent cooks and it's all good heartland food! Tomorrow is my dad's memorial service. I hope to start the day with yoga again to get me centered as we go through an emotional d… Continue

July 2: Not My Finest Hour

11:32 pm. Already in my pajamas. Forgot yoga mat in car. 15 minutes gentle asana on slightly disgusting motel room carpet. Worked out the road trip kinks. Tomorrow: get mat out of car, do a more satisfying practice.

July 1: On the Road

I had no idea how I was going to fit in a practice today. We are on the way to a family reunion and drove four hours to the middle of Kansas (four more hours to go tomorrow!). I managed about 20 minutes of yoga as my kids swam in the hotel pool -- I didn't even have a yoga mat, but the tile on the pool deck was grippy enough. I managed to make it speedily through all of the ashtanga standing poses. Felt great after our long drive!

July WoYo Starts Tomorrow!!!

Are you ready? Is your mat shined and polished? Yoga clothes pressed? Tomorrow is the first day of July's Practice Every Day challenge! I have no idea how this is going to go from me as I will be on the road for the next week, with my mom and kids. And my mom doesn't know about WoYo OR my blog OR my Yogamum secret identity so I'm just going to say that I decided to practice a little bit every day. Actually it might be fun -- she's been wanting to learn some yoga so I guess I'll show her some ge… Continue

Okay, this is a repost of the official announcement I just sent out, but I want to make sure everyone gets the word: WoYoPracMo (the official practice every day version) is ON for July! ********* It's been quiet around here at WoYoPracMo. Too quiet. Which is why I'm announcing that, due to popular demand, July will be another Official WoYo Practice Every Day month, complete with prizes!! I don't know about you, but I'm slacking a little. I need that commitment to daily practice and I would lov… Continue
