The Power of Silence, The Power of Sound
Did you get a chance to try out the Catch & Release Meditation I linked in my last Blog? If you did, you probably noticed there was some background music and birdsong accompanying it. But wait, wasn’t the post about meditation & catching some silence? This morning, doing my sit ‘n sip (read: cuppa coffee, or cuffa coppee if you’re Wordsback like me) in the hot tub , I heard my first full on
Clear the Mind, Enter the Silence, Find Some Peace
When my children were young, I played classical music almost exclusively in our home knowing they would get precious little exposure to it as they grew. I hoped to instill the same appreciation for it my own mother shared with me as a child. Bragging about this one day to a friend, I was shocked when he responded
So What IS ReWirement Anyway?
I’ve often choreographed my yoga classes based on the season: the more continuous movement of a vinyasa flow in the spring to raise our energy out of winter’s sluggishness, a balance of

Summer Stories: Canyonlands Desert Spring!
Goodness. The last I shared with you all it was April and I was still couched with a broken femur. Summer seems to spin a pretty speedy path to fall, doesn’t it? Cuz here it is! But there’s so much to tell you about, and now that it’s fall and maybe you’ve slowed down a bit as well, I will post it
No Friends on a Powder Day?
It’s breathless. It’s ….. Bliss. It’s shining eyes wide open wanting more. It’s a rhythm of weightless falling, turning. And yeah, that all sounds a little cheesy. But it’s hard to come up with superlatives of ecstasy
Smokin’ Utah Powder: Too Busy Skiing For Ski Photos!
No REALLY. I couldn’t hold myself back let alone any of my ski buddies long enough to photograph the AMAZing powder we were skiing. Here we thought we’d had fantastic powder days at our own little Brundage Mountain. Now, I’m from Alta (I literally lived there for 5 years or so) in the
