Well, we are expecting 18 inches of snow! Hubby is getting out the snow shoes and we'll go tire ourselves and the dogs out on the trails near our house. (It's been warm-ish so the lake is no longer frozen enough to walk across, alas ...) (Yeah, we don't bank on spring until May.)

I'd be bolder with my work!

@Jeanna Finch I'm going to break my radio silence on LinkedIn and start talking about some recent certificates I've earned and the connection between our health stories and our ability to move forward!

Mountains! I grew up (in KANSAS) listening to John Denver and imagining elevation and pine trees and mountain lakes. I love everything about them and don't get into them often enough. And I discovered, upon moving to Minnesota (land-o-lakes) in my 40s, that I'm not really a water girl: water is pretty to look at, but I don't feel super compelled to get in. Weird!

Congrats and YAY!

@Jeanna Finch I get that rationale — I think we've all been there. You've got this!!!

Last week I "broke the seal" on my too-long-packed-away yoga practice. (@Jennifer Gaydeski that was the phrase you used a few weeks back that I was trying to think of! Love it!) Anyway, I used to practice several hours a week, and then I taught for a while, and then (omg 20 years in) it all started to fall by the wayside. For a long time I didn't practice in part because I had all these ideas about the "right" way to practice and was too much in my head. So starting last week — and continuing this week — I'm just showing up "on the mat" in the morning and seeing what happens. Maybe very little. Listening to my body and my energy and working my way back. I will tell you, yoga at 50-something is different than yoga at 20-, 30-, and even 40-something. Namaste, Baby!
