I pulled on my running tights and debated between a long-sleeve and a short-sleeve shirt. Jacket – yes, definitely a jacket because it’s windy out. Pulled on my hat and gloves, tied my shoes and headed out the door. My first few steps were tentative, testing out my foot and waiting for it to talk [...]
Injuries are tricky, aren’t they? Just when you think that everything is healed and that you are back to your normal self, your body has a way of putting you back in your place and making sure you don’t get too far ahead of yourself. At least that’s me and my body. Last week, I found [...]

It was fun to find new and interesting settings to practice yoga as well as new perspectives on the various asanas or poses – all through the lens of a camera. I learned to be more forgiving of myself (and how I [...]
