In two days, it will be one year since my skiing incident of 2009. Today, we went to Badger Pass and tried me out again. I have to say, as I walked to the beginning of the trail, I felt alot of anxiety. I looked at the snow and wondered if I could really do [...]
I asked my husband what kind of year he thought 2009 had been and he had a look of horror on his face as my answer. Yes, 2009 brought some challenges that I (we) were unprepared for in general. So much occurred relatively at the same time, which makes it even more difficult to keep [...]
I would like to introduce the Fall 2009 graduates of the YTT at Ananda Yoga! Can you feel the relief?
It seems so hard to believe that the month is coming to a close and it is time to go back into, as they say here, “the matrix”. I have completed all requirements, except the written test which is tomorrow. I am sure I’ll be fine. Everyone will be fine.

It’s been six months from March 7, 2009. That’s when the life of my family took a new direction. It seems to me that nothing is as it was before that day. That is not to say that many things aren’t in better shape, others still in a state of confusion. All in all when [...]
What takes 9 months to come to completion? Well yes, a human life, but also the healing of my fracture. After the prerequisite time to heal a fracture (@ 3 months), my ankle didn’t “knit”. Introduce a little device called a bone stimulator (Exogen 4000 by Smith and Nephew) and 16 more weeks of healing [...]
