I know that for the past week, I’ve been telling everyone to do yoga, how amazing it feels, how great my body is adapting. I apologize for my sudden morph into a yoga-preacher. And, humbly, I have only been doing it for about two weeks.
The change, so far, is amazing. Last night’s class was even [...]
I can still count the number of yoga classes I have attended. Four. Is it too early to say that I think something is changing?
I’m really, really calm. Maybe it’s because I have spent so much time over the last few days focusing on my breathing. I’m developing a dislike for loud noises — I [...]
Everyone’s talking about the weather in Montreal these days, how it sucks, how we’re barely getting a summer.

I have a tomato plant on my balcony, growing in a [...]
J. and I had plans to go to the Jazz Fest, but, with the awful weather we’ve been having, we decided to play it safe and catch a movie instead.
(Wow, I hope not everyone is thinking like this. I promise to go to the Jazz Fest before it’s over, rain or no rain!)
First, we had [...]
I have few family photos. My mom now lives in Victoria and has the bulk of them, and I never remember to get everyone’s pictures when I go on trips with my dad. That’s why I was so happy when a friend of my mom’s scanned this photo and sent it to me. Aren’t we [...]
