I was out running this past weekend. Okay, it was really part walk/part run. But I was running when I tripped on a lip at an intersection and went flying forward, landing pretty hard. I took me a minute to assess what was what. I seemed to be bleeding a lot from one of my […]

My husband has a shirt we purchased at a brewery in Freeport, Maine. On the front it says “Maine Beer Company” and on the back it says “Do the right thing.” It’s so appealing to do the right thing, but what is right? For each of us the answer is different. What is right for

It’s all about seva, or service. Our yoga practice stirs in us the need to help others through the full body prayer that is our practice. I have had so much fun doing benefit classes to help the Milton Residents Fund and Saint Rock Haiti Foundation in the past few months. April provides another great
Last week my family and I traveled to Utah to ski. It was my first time ever skiing out west and it was quite spectacular to be in the mountains, the vistas were magical. I’ve gotten very disenchanted with skiing over the years with what I was sure was my declining ability. This trip for

I themed the class to support their upcoming gala, “Building Hope Together” and we raised over $1,000 for the cause. When I
I confess I’m late to the knitting the pussy hat game. I had commitments that prohibited me from marching so I didn’t knit myself a hat for the march. Distressed that I couldn’t go, I spent far too much time viewing the amazing and inspiring photos of my many friends and family members at various

I’ve been traveling a lot lately to a bucolic area where I grew up to be with family. I’ve been making regular trips to visit my father who has been hospitalized since mid-November, and to be with my mother. At first I thought I’d really enjoy the car rides and tried listening to audio books
This past Saturday evening my husband and I were driving to dinner when we spotted the moon. It was not an ordinary moon, but an enormous moon, hovering at the horizon, brightly lit with all kinds of oranges and some clouds. It was a spectacular sight and it stopped us in our tracks. We pulled
I was away for the past two weeks in a beautiful spot in central Maine. My family and I rented a lakeside house in an exquisite spot that we return to, like migrating birds, each year. It is a place where trappings, wardrobe, and haute cuisine don’t matter. It is a place where your view
