  • Powering Down

    I went to my acupuncturist today. Acupuncture is one of the things I’m adding to my detox and rebuilding programs. I’ve found that acupuncture treatments get things moving. I credit my acupuncturist with getting me in good enough shape that… Continue reading

  • Finding the Edge

    After yoga class today, I had lunch with my teacher. I’d been wanting to meet him for a while and finally got the courage up last week. Sometimes I still feel hesitant and shy around people who I learn from… Continue reading
