This is a retreat post. It has been a minute since I made one, and in a lot of ways, that in and of itself is the subject. I have three spaces open in this January’s Yoga + Surf retreat in Nosara, Costa Rica. They are the same three spaces I
One of the most delightful surprises of August was spending two mornings a week doing yoga with folks from both near and far on the deck of the Elmore Store. Making shapes, breathing well, gazing out across the lake and up the mountain, back to the t

New bit o writing up on the substack today. More moments of me being bowled over by blinding flashes of the obvious. I clearly exist in a lane. Also this cute pose that I never get sick of and probably needs a name. I think eagle feather or pincagaru
This Monday, when we were processing our meat birds, I pulled a couple of spent hens out of the coop. Dear old girls who haven’t laid an egg in around a year. Over the winter, two other old hens laid down in the nesting box and died. I love it
In a moment of supreme synchronicity, meat bird processing came on the very same day as Chris’ final day under contract with Rocky. It was a good run. Twelve years, give or take. Something like that. And now, it’s time for our favorite gu
