As I write this, I wish we were connecting over a cold Corona or knocking back a cool kombucha. Except we're not. I know nothing more about the coronavirus than what is being shared by the media; I won't even go there. On the other hand, I've been observing how, why, and where people connect for most of my life. We are in a global crisis that is threatening our ability to ... View Post
The day I had to roll up my mat…
Last week I wrote about not quitting. Today I rolled up my mat and walked out of a yoga class. I was going to tell you I quit, then caught myself in how hypocritical I was being.

But you haven't shared this master plan with me, and sometimes it gets frustrating not knowing what's next. Not knowing our schedule, ... View Post
