A curious amalgamation of things I enjoy, including cycling, cooking and do-it-yourself projects. I still haven't figured out what I want to do when I grow up, but I plan to have fun in the meantime.
It’s hard to believe that I’m already at the end of my second week of Yoga Journal’s online 21-day challenge, and of my additional vegetarian challenge. That also means it’s been five weeks since I undertook the initial DVD 21-day challenge. As the saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun. Click here to read the rest of this post »
During the last several months, I’ve seen many of the same search terms about transferring law schools pop up over and over on my site’s stats. It occurred to me that it might be helpful to provide a central place where I can answer all those frequenly asked questions that are important, but don’t justify an entire post by themselves. Quite frankly, I’m a little surprised that I didn’t think of doing this sooner! Click here to read the rest of this post »
If you’ve been reading, you know that I recently completed Yoga Journal’s 21-Day Challenge DVD set. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience. Even though I didn’t like some of the practices, it got me into a regular routine of daily yoga. I wrapped up the DVD challenge last Sunday, which was excellent timing because YJ’s 2012 online 21-day challenge began the very next day. I was already in a routine, so I figured, why not? And so began the next 21-day challenge. Click here to read the rest of this post »
Almost exactly a year ago, while in the midst of Snowmageddon-induced cabin fever, I posted a list of the five best books I read in 2010. In that same post – and in an accompanying e-mail that went out to my bibliophile friends – I encouraged others to keep track of the books they read in the coming year. Despite my ferret-like attention span, I actually followed through and sent another e-mail last month to the same group of people, asking for their 2011 lists. After some gentle harassment and non-criminal stalking, I received several lists from friends and family. These wonderful recommendations run the gamut from fiction to non-fiction, cookbooks to sci-fi. Enjoy! Click here to read the rest of this post »
In case you haven’t been following, I recently did Yoga Journal’s 21-Day Challenge. I completed it in part to relieve the stress of the holidays and also to get myself back into a regular yoga routine. I added the additional challenge of blogging about each practice as I completed it, which helped me get back to writing regularly. Though I missed a few days here and there, I completed the entire challenge, which I finished this past Sunday. While each of my daily posts gives a summary of that day’s practice, I also want to provide a more thoughtful review of the entire challenge as a whole. Click here to read the rest of this post »
We’re already to the end of the 21-day challenge! Need to catch up? Make sure you start at the beginning!
It’s been a gloomy sort of weekend, with lots of fog and rain. But, that certainly beats a year ago, when we were preparing to get snowed in for a week. I feel like I have fallen behind on a lot of things, but was determined not to fall behind on my schedule to complete the 21-day challenge. So, I was happy to wrap up a long and busy weekend with some yoga. Click here to read the rest of this post »
If you’re just now starting to read about the 21-day challenge, make sure you start at Day 1 to get the full story!
It’s been kind of a long weekend. I spent Friday night and all day today up in Blue Ridge at a board retreat for a non-profit with which I volunteer. The trip was productive, as these things go, but I was decidedly happy to pull back into my own driveway this evening. Even though I was tired from the whirlwind of the last 36 hours or so, it was so nice to roll out my mat for another day of the 21-day challenge. Click here to read the rest of this post »
Are you just now checking out the 21-day challenge? Well, make sure you start from the beginning!
It has finally warmed up a little bit after a couple of absurd nights where the overnight temperature dipped down into the teens. I find it much easier to be productive when I’m not half frozen (which begs the question of how I managed to graduate college with honors after three years in upstate New York, but I digress). It’s also easier to drag myself out of bed in the mornings. Good timing, Mother Nature, because today’s practice in the 21-day challenge called for me to get my yoga on in the morning.

I seriously toyed with a couple different names for this salad, like “Beef and Bean Salad,” “Next Day Salad,” or my personal favorite, “Leftovers Salad.” But, none of those things sounded very appetizing. Whatever the name, I have to say, I’m a little bit obsessed with this salad. Click here to read the rest of this post »
First time reading about the 21-day challenge? Get caught up by heading back to the beginning!
It seems that Wednesday snuck up on me this week, I suppose because of the extended weekend. Not that I’m complaining; these things just always come as a bit of a surprise to my fragile, change-averse brain. It was also chilly again today, which made my body want to shut down and hibernate for the next couple of months. I was feeling a little bit lethargic when I got home, but I avoided the temptation to nap. Instead, I forged ahead into the third (and final) week of the 21-day challenge.
