Now that the driveway had been plowed again, I was able to get out and went for a longer walk on the Paul Stock Trail, seeing lots of birds, including a bald eagle! The weather had warmed up considerably – I think it got as high as the low 30s, which made for very comfortable…

It’s always a push-pull to go out in the morning when it’s so cold. I love, love, love being out on the labyrinth as dawn slowly turns to sunrise – the mountains go pink and the sky lightens – but it’s very cold outside, as low as -12 on these mornings! To move from sitting…

What have I been doing the last couple of days? I took a gorgeous picture out my window of the moon and the clouds at 4:30 this morning. Later I had a beautiful labyrinth walk watching the moon set. I created dried flower bouquets with found items, made bookmarks, walked the labyrinth, made a snow…

Had another snowy day on Friday and then a windy one on Saturday resulting in drifts of snow everywhere.  We did manage to get the car down the driveway to get to the Buffalo Bill Center for the Arts where we had a tour of the art gallery with the preschool kids who were able…

This morning I did a much needed body scan meditation – discovering some tension in the back of my neck and little bits in other parts of my body. When it got to the hips, thighs and belly I felt repelled by my ‘problem areas’, ones that I feel I need to reduce because they…

My first two days back at TAC, the retreat center in Cody, Wyoming, have been wonderful. I arrived Thursday night after having no problem with any of my flights. I was able to relax in the yoga room at SFO while waiting for my first flight. I love the yoga rooms there because there’s never…

Mesmerizing view  Sunlight glittering water  And now I release  This haiku came to me after sitting in my car, staring at the sun reflecting on the water of the bay. It looked like dancing sparkles – so alive and vibrant. I needed a space to quiet and center after driving in the city, parking hassles,…
