This week’s CSA (community supported agriculture) box had fresh beets. They are small and tasty. We usually bake these, but lately we have been grating them in our yogurt. Here’s the recipe: Greek yogurt + 1 small grated beet + freshly grated tumeric & ginger + a pinch of black pepper + a scoop of… Continue reading Beet Power

Sunday Inspiration
I came across this Twitter thread from Martin Heavy Head this morning and wanted to share it. Sometimes we need a reminder and a story to make the embers of our faith and hope glow with the fire of life. An Old Man from our Tribe had gotten sick and was in a coma. He… Continue reading Sunday Inspiration
Food in 2019
What we eat is the most feasible way we can impact our health. Think about it. You can do a lot of things to renew your health, but many of these, including stress reduction, are more difficult to reach goals. Eating, on the other hand, is something we do several times a day, and something,… Continue reading Food in 2019
The Blessing of Uncertainty
It’s not clear to me how I came to this understanding that what I’m doing in the classroom is working on myself, but it’s a realization that happened early in my work.

Physical Therapy and Yoga

As I’ve had my arm worked on, I’ve realized that I can approach the therapy as a yoga practice where I explore and befriend sensation without judgment and expectation. This past Thursday I… Continue reading Physical Therapy and Yoga
Adventure
Years ago when our kids were young we took one of our many camping trips to the Smokies. We listened to “Howliday Inn,” the story of a vampire bunny. The highlight of the book was this little phrase that has stuck with us, “Adventure is good for the soul.” As we head back home, we… Continue reading Adventure
