On being the "Farmers Wife"

Sandy & Little Annie May 17th 2012 I am grateful for...The Farmer Anticipation at the birth of new baby goats soon to arrive on the Farm. Excitement and celebration - then disappointment that one sweet kid didn't survive. Sandy, the mother of two and one of the first goats to join us on the farm seemed so tired - the surviving baby goat- healthy walking around so very adorable. We kept a close watch on Sandy all day, she seemed overly lethargic - the vet said probably just a hard labor. Then about 7:00 pm she took a turn for the worst. We quickly called the vet who was an hour from us and our wonderful neighbors, Leslie, Brittany and her husband Cody, who came right away. Sandy was in such distress, I wrapped my arms around myself in an embrace as if to hold back my fears. She was dying, I knew it, and I couldn't bear to watch.

What's up with your blog?

I am grateful for the questions.... last week I had a student ask "what's up with your blog?"

Thank you so much for allowing me to interview you for my research paper. I know you have many other things going on, so I don't need an immediate response- as long as I receive

It's all Part of the Process

Classes were smaller today and lots of fun. As often happens the class I had planned was not the class I taught. There were a few brand new and somewhat new faces, which called for some modification. Talking points revolved around Process = a series of natural changes by which something passes from one condition to another. We used binds to explore using our clasped hands (or straps) as resistance to help open our bodies, and talked about the idea of a flower inside a bud pushing against the resistance of it's edges and eventually opening into a beautiful expression of itself, and how freeing that must feel, all that space created from the inside out. We did lots of shoulder opening with and without straps and many of the students had not experienced binds, so there was lots of WOW , that was fun & I didn't think I could do that. Good stuff! I love teaching and watching students get glimpses of the potential within themselves! No not the class I had planned, and to be ho
