I cried today during morning yoga practice. I've been told this is something that happens but in a year and a half I've never experienced the rush of emotions people have told me about. I wondered if I was defective, to be quite honest. I wondered if I was really that shut off to my [...]

Finding My Edge
This week for yoga teacher training I had to write an essay about how I find my edge. In this case edge is being defined as, "a place of comfortable discomfort, where growing and healing happens." However, when I think of edge, the word is riddled with negative connotations. Edge to me is the sharp [...]
Good News
I am really exhausted as it was a long day, so I'm going to keep this brief. But I have a lot of good news to share with you all. First, I woke up to an email that a paper proposal I submit in February was accepted for a conference in Scotland, so that's exciting. [...]

Gift from the Universe? Maybe
I have some potentially good news. I don't want to tell you all too much because I absolutely believe in jinxing things. But, I will tell you, the perfect job may have fallen into my lap just as I gave up hope and just as she (the person looking to fill the position) gave up [...]
Connection Between Body Weight and Health

As someone who gained 70 pounds, then lost 60 pounds, then gained 10 of those back, I feel like I've gained some perspective on this whole social construct. In the photo I chose for this post, I am at my [...]

Yesterday, I may have taken my self-care routine a little too far but opportunities presented themselves and I took them. [...]
Difficult Day, Healthy Choices
Yesterday was a difficult day. I received my appraisal from my supervisor. She marked me down significantly for my absences, some of which were completely out of my control. I felt punished for something that was, in part, not completely my choice. Not to say I am completely blameless here. I know I have chosen [...]
Wanderlust: Not a Total Bust
This morning, during my coffee routine, I wrote about being grumbly and up early for Wanderlust. I made light of being up before the light because I was excited to try something new. But, Texas had other plans for we yogis today. It was a windy 40 something degrees. Texans are not used to this [...]
Wanderlust and the Morning
I am up exceptionally early this morning (before 6am if you want to know what early is for me) so that I can have my protein shake before I wander off to wanderlust. If you don't know what wanderlust is and don't wish to hault your reading to Google, it is a mindfulness triathlon. 5k, [...]
