Yoga Gives Me Permission to Not Run Around!
I love how Steve and my hobbies intersect and the people we meet in one community show up in another community. Steve was teaching a photography class this spring and one of his students started talking about a yoga class that they took and they really...
Queen of the Night and Finding Beauty in Harshness
“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.” Vincent Van Gogh I confess, I am a whiner. When it comes to living in Tucson, I’m the first to boast about our weather in March when the rest of the country is experiencing cold and snow and they are...
Yoga Keeps Me Injury Free So I Can Keeping Hiking!
Colorado Trail Hiker Meet Diane Sebastian, this month’s student. I met Diane a few years back in Colorado Springs through Steve and I’s connection to triathlon and her SO, Joe. We had an immediate connection through our mutually sarcastic and witty...

A Crooked Path
““Pursue some path however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.” ~ Henry David Thoreau It’s been one year since I left HP. My path since then has indeed been crooked, but rather than narrow, mine has been wide. And wandering....
The Food, Oh the Food!
