i learned to play shiva shambo and gopala last night on the studio’s new harmonium. i brought in a teacher for a few yogis and moi and we pounded away with occasional screeches. i’d been pecking at the poor thing for a while – didn’t get the whole “chords” thing. gotta play a few keys at once. tricky!

tonight i’m packing for my 7-hour drive to the catskills tomorrow to lead my second hip tranquil chick retreat in a beautiful old farmhouse. it’s always nice to shake things up for a few days and i’m looking forward to spending time with an amazing group of girls. our cook promises banana splits on friday night so i think i’ll be in heaven. beau’s been gone this week so i’ve been fending for myself and i’m not too impressive in the kitchen to say the least. tonight i dined at wendy’s on yummy fries and a frosty float. yikes, not feeling so fabulous. dying for some brown rice, cooked greens, and fresh ANYTHING! anyone else have a french fry problem? gonna go eat a pear to try to make up for the drama.

if you’re looking to dive deeper into blooming this spring, join me for a teleclass THIS monday at 8:30et. no french fries, only fabulous (and fun) musings on how to live fully this spring!
