Rush Hour Comfort

May 12, 2012

It’s a a phenomenally beautiful day and I’m sailing down the city street in my “yellow brick road” car, just a tad late getting started for a yoga class on the other side of town.  While noticing the late day sun beaming down through the huge old trees I pass, I start to think about [...]

Your Transformation Will Save the World

April 13, 2012

I love Martha Beck. She is for me the kindred soul  she writes about in her new book, “Finding Your Way in the Wild New World”—where she describes the deeply personal resonance she experienced when she first met someone on her travels.  The kind of resonance that made  her want to jump up and down [...]

Easy Eating

April 9, 2012

We walked out of the mindfulness practice still quiet from the experience. After a long stretch of silence, Beth said to me, “that was so much tougher than I thought it would be.   And I didn’t know where to look— so I just kept my head down the whole time, chewing and staring at my [...]
