Morning pose between classes this morning; I feel much more graceful in this pose than this appears. I’ve got 16 classes and 4 pounds down. I am feeling strong and really tired. Regardless, this pose does make me feel warrior fierce. ~K

One of many quiet nooks I’ve found lately to ponder the heavy conversations I’ve been mulling over at work. We are knee deep in national health issues and trying to figure out what policies and programs could do something to change the sad fact Americans...

This week’s soup was inspired by a new cookbook and a new kitchen tool — an immersion blender. Why I haven’t spent the $20 on one of these before is a mystery. It makes cooking soup about a thousand times easier and less messy. Best $20 you could...

Dear Finny, You say you did a bit of fuzzy math to the tune of pi, and what I read was, “Pie? I want pie!!” The Homer J in me kept me from even trying the hat pattern, but I did rock the dressing. So, mission nearly accomplished for our January One Yard...

I’ve had a headache for the last three days centered behind my left eye. Little has provided relief — much less the hot, sweaty yoga I made such a public commitment to keep. I didn’t get a thing done this weekend other than attend yoga and watch...

This morning I started a 60-day challenge at my Bikram studio. I’ve got 1 class down and 59 days to complete the remainder. I also weighed myself for the first time in months: 168.3. How’s that for transparency? To be honest, I’ve been staring at...
