Things I learned in yoga
- her: be careful when you are coming up, try it like this (she physically demonstrates)
- me: oh, so you lead with your head?
- her: No, you lead with your heart...always lead with your heart.
For the camera afficionados out there.

I am trying to be more zen this morning. It’s not easy. Thanks tumblr.
:) I could definitely learn to be zen in that type of surrounding. (And in this weather..enjoy!)
After looking at photos of works by nature artist Andy Goldsworthy, my 1st graders made their own creations in Central Park.
These are wonderful Barbara. How lucky they are to have you. I truly mean that.
A Night of Whys.
I assumed my 4 year old was sleeping last night but instead her mind was full of all kinds of questions. As I popped in her room to check on her and give her one last good night kiss 2 little eyes were wide open and staring back at me. I said I thought you were sleeping. She smiled and then began the questions:
Why do animals drink dirty water?
Why don’t all animals live in houses?
Why do animals not wear clothes?
Why don’t they wear shoes?
Why does the moon wake up when the sun goes to sleep?
Do they take turns?
etc..
After doing my best to explain things I went to bed and smiled. To think she was laying there for quite some time with question after question on her mind. I could almost see her little brain working. Then I lay there for a long time with question after question on my mind..but not one involved animals without shoes.
My kids. If I could wear my heart on my sleeve..this is what you’d see.
Impressionism..and the impressed. The foot says it all :)
Mah Na Mah Na…love.
