when I have too many different things to do that sitting for meditation and doing a little asana is most important.  We always have 25-45 minutes.  It is just a matter of understanding where they are and how we want… (READ MORE)

Author: Elizabeth August 16, 2009 1 Comment

I went to see Julie and Julia because I, like most other Americans of a certain age who like food, have a history with Julia Child.  Seeing the movie brought back an episode from junior high school.  By seventh grade,… (READ MORE)

Tomato Blight (and the web of life)

Author: Elizabeth August 11, 2009 1 Comment

Refinement (and the Anusara loops)

Author: Elizabeth August 9, 2009 0 Comments
