State of the Garden (First Weekend After the Fall Equinox)
I pulled no longer productive summer plants and planted lettuce, spinach, chard, and arugula. The birds have been eating my seeds, so I got seedlings at Eastern Market yesterday morning. I have planted some more seeds, but wanted back up. The grape tomato is still prolific, alone among the tomatoes. The cucumbers are completely past, making room for chard and turnips. It is time to make the last batches of pesto with the basil and parsley. Another blossom has come and not quite gone on the night-blooming cereus.

Sometimes, the Concern is Not the Risk Warned Of, But the Making of the Warning
For example, I am not concerned with the risk of being filled up by Satan (that’s Satan with a capital “S”) because of practicing yoga. But I am deeply concerned that the people quoted as making such warnings are seeking or are in positions of power. Thanks to my friend D. for sending me the link to this article.

Some things we need to learn to adequately navigate the environment in which we are living. Some things we can choose to learn. And sometimes, life gives us the choice of suffering or learning from what life has given us.

A Useful Book on Offering Workshops
A friend from dancing whom I like and respect wrote what I found an inspiring book on improving workshop offerings, both for the person offering the workshop and those attending. I don’t offer yoga workshops any more, but from my studio teaching days and my wide range of acquaintance, I have lots of friends who do offer workshops or offer programs in the public interest, and I always like to check out what my friends are offering. On reading it, I immediately saw its usefulness for the not-for-profit for which I am on the Board of Directors, as well as for friends who have great offerings, but may need a little help on how to get the value of their offerings known.
Here’s more info to check it out: @Leslie Zucker’s new book called “Deliver Workshops That Bring in Clients: A How-To Guide for Coaches, Consultants and Entrepreneurs”. She’s offering the chapter on marketing your workshop for free. You can get it here: www.lesliezucker.com/
