Sugar Free, Day 6

I’m usually a hangry girl. Vata-deranged, angry glint in my eye, don’t-get-between-me-and-my-chocolate-at-3pm kind of person. But the last couple of days, my body has felt…well, weirdly satiated. I eat a big ol’ breakfast at around 9  and don’t even really feel hungry for lunch. That isn’t to say that I haven’t craved an apple (oh, […]

Adventures in social media

Well, a few days into the course and I am down the rabbit hole. One tweet leads to instagram, which leads to website, which leads to an article, which leads to a different article, to a twitter feed, to a new post, to a new twitter feed, to a new article, to a new picture..and […]

Sugar free adventures, Day 4

Here’s how the day broke out: Breakfast of eggs, squash, spinach, hummus. Lunch: steamed greens, omega 3 dressing, and a chunk of sweet potato. Dinner: turkey, walnuts, squash. And my yummy stevia, unsweetened almond milk, cocoa delight. So…no rice, no flours, just whole plain recognizable foods full of goodness. Wasn’t hungry for hours after my […]

The Joys of Feedly

I had no idea. Rather than endlessly trowel the net in search of information, or – god forbid! – visit websites, here is news coming to me. Like a little child with a basket of presents, all these goodies in one little place! And I had no idea. While I understood the idea of subscribing to […]

The Tinder Generational Gap

“So when you get a text,” my friend says slowly, “you first respond to what they say, and then you have to answer with a question to keep the conversation going.” She is a fabulous and attractive woman in her mid-forties, now venturing into the waters of online dating. I nod, commiserating. I’ve been down this […]

Tweet Tweet Tweet…and Owls

This morning I’ve been inspired to revisit my Twitter feed and actively peruse profiles of people that I admire. I can see how immediate this medium is, trying to create lists (including one for FSU) to try to organize how I receive information from my different communities. It is better to specialize, or shine the […]

Out on a rock…

Well, my first evening of exploring Web 2.0, and I went a bit crazy. First of all, checking out other people’s Twitter feeds caused me to feel self-conscious about the shabby graphics on my Twitter feed, so I had to update those. Then I started reading articles from sites I was lurking on and decided to blog […]

Paleo-veganism: the love child has arrived           

My mother never knows what to expect when I come home. Chatting about my plans for Thanksgiving, there will come the inevitable pause as she tries to plan her menu, “ So, uh…what exactly are you eating now?” Then the big (and well-deserved) sigh, “I can never keep up.” Poor Mom. Yogis change diets like […]

Sugar free month. And stuff.

I’m back to my food shenanigans people. Back with a vengeance. Oh, the food adventures that I have been having! Well, since we last connected about food, I have become interested in the power of paleo. Just a little. That’s right, I’m exploring what it’s like to run with the dinosaurs (I know that statement […]

social media…and identity

Hello, friends. Many of you may know that I’m passionate about yoga, relationships, and teacher training. What you may not have known quite so explicitly is that I’m also a fledgling educational nerd. I am passionate about the delivery of education and excited to investigate how we can leverage current technology to create communities of […]
