Last night I found myself plopped in front of the TV watching the beginning of the long-awaited and very popular Victoria’s Secret fashion show. The last time I saw it was several years ago and all I really remember is that what the models wear is not really what is in the stores. You might…
Yesterday I was working on an invitation for a small get together and after a hour of formatting pictures, colors, and fonts it disappeared. My hard work gone. I threw up my hands, stepped away from the computer and after a big sigh moved on with the day. I knew why this was happening. Mercury…
It has been quite a while since the Sunday Media Montage last made an appearance, but with my yoga teacher training finishing I’m hoping to be getting back to more regular posts. I am including some older links that I’ve been saving up for a while as well as some more recent finds. Reasons not…

This past weekend I took part in the John Friend workshop, Dancing with the Divine, as it made its way through Cincinnati, Ohio. This weekend came at an interesting time, since it was the first workshop since the hubbub of activity surrounding the resignations of the Anusara certifications by three of the leading teachers.
