...in my training lately has been Kundalini yoga. I seem to go in tangents with yoga, where I want to do nothing BUT that for a while, then you have to force me at gunpoint to do it, even though I still LOVE Kundalini yoga. Go figure. I stopped trying to figure that out ages......Read More

pure freedom
Having adored this man since childhood, I still feel deeply moved whenever I see him expressing himself...he is freedom and pure creativity in motion and I'm so grateful he came to America to share that gift and explore a Universe of possibilties...and still does. Thank you, Misha.......Read More

my secret weapon
I'm currently training for my first marathon in 2008, and right now I'm on week 4 of a 5 month program to take me from occassional evening jogs to being a bona fide marathon runner.

completely selfish...writer's strike perspective
No, I don't think the writers are selfish, I'm actually referring to my own shadow side, which is hoping for a strike that lasts at leasts a month so I can finish out my two weeks of shooting here (that's as long as the show I'm working in can go before we run out of scripts), take a week off......Read More

Passion of the Christ...my perspective
Keep in mind, I'm a self professed Pagan, which really just means that I live in a very Shamanistic way, connecting to the elements and mama earth every day. I observe seasonal spiritual celebrations and do believe in a divine creative Source from which we have all come and to which we shall......Read More

sloth night!
Yep, it's that time again. I have now "officially" dedicated Monday nights as "Sloth Night". What does that mean? It means I allow my body, mind and spirit to recover from marathon training and life in general with an evening where I move as little as......Read More

the nutritional component
Ok, I will freely admit that during these first 4 weeks of training my nutritional path has been less than stellar, and I allowed myself that leeway consciously so I'd stay the course. When I heap too much on myself at once, in terms of change, I tend to snap and abandon it......Read More

I love the idea of this site, but...
...good LORD the server on their end sucks! I've only been on here about a week or so, but I have yet to make a single post without their server hanging on me.

testing the waters...
Ok, I like this site more than live journal so I'm going to try posting my latest marathon blog here and see how it goes! Well, I've been saying for ages I was going to add some crosstraining to my marathon training program but I was being lazy and putting it off, until......Read More
