Bending over backward for novel research thanks to free online Yoga classes
http://wp.me/p2tUmK-8k http://wp.me/p2tUmK-8k
That’s me in the back row with the white stripe, hip circling with fellow Boot Key Harbor boaters to work out the kinks of life aboard. The twice weekly onshore yoga class was offered by an unlikely guru and hosted by the City of Marathon in the Florida Keys. Type a term into your search engine, be it “morning yoga,” “yoga for neck pain,” “eye yoga,” “laughter yoga,” et al., and let your frolic…

And then it hits you again. You’re an author. One of many reasons to love the season of beach reads, hammock time, and sun-drenched leisure is the chance to stock up at your fave local and vacay bookstores and gift shops. These freshly signed copies of More Than You Think You Know are bound for @coppercountryarts. Thanks to @cynthiacote13 and all the artists whose work graces this space. It’s a joy to have my novel in company with such fierce and uncompromising beauty. Where are you placing (and procuring) your must-reads this summer? #writingcommunity #bookstore #art #communityartscenter @cynthiacote13 #coppercountry #artscene #thinkyouknow #womenslit #fiction #womeninandonhotwater @beatingwindward (at Copper Country Community Arts Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQumbNaFrGq/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is our week to shine. 💡 I’ve got a few features in the hopper—and a poem I never planned to write. Summer is my time for inspiration to strike. Like a July lightning storm. Just gotta harness it. What are you working on? #create #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #theatre #theater (at Rozsa Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ9-hjslQQM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Paper-writing poetry breaks. Poems that were my first writings. I loved cadence, rhythm and rhyme when I was a little girl. Still do. These poems are not for little girls and don’t rhyme. I appreciate how they connect me to lived and unknown experiences. I was intro’d to the work of poets @wordperv79 and @gmyers25 at this winter’s @barrelhousemag conference. Glad to finally be able to take a little deeper into their work, especially since I’ve been playing with digital poetry in my New Media course—and it IS #nationalpoetrymonth I hope you make time to read some poetry this weekend. Have a good one. But back to that paper ... #poets #poems #create #write #poetsofinstagram #writingcommunity #books #bookstagram (at Keweenaw Peninsula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNxQTQiF0Ib/?igshid=140l8a8gxqzlu

“I am in charge of my brain, not the other way around.” The final #21daymeditationexperience with @oprah and @deepakchopra is themed “Getting Unstuck” and it’s now one of my favorites, for its truth, its ease of application to everyday life, and its effectiveness. I’m sorry to see the plug pulled on these long-running free 21-day meditations. But who knows what amazing thing will be offered to us next? And in the meantime the various series are available for purchase. They have become my morning mainstay. #moss #mindful #mondaymotivation @chopra #meditation #everyday #nature #stillness #breathe #reflect (at Michigan Tech Nordic Ski Trails And Recreational Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNkuUfqFh9K/?igshid=swiogjii25qn

Spring sculpture by Mother Nature. We had the warm-weather tease, then a plunge, but we know that life is a circle and summer will come. In the meantime it’s fun to appreciate the art of in-between. #ice #circles #sculpture #nature #forest #spring #upnorth (at Houghton, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5NQwulJr3/?igshid=140npq0bb7f7p

He’s eaten hundreds and helped write a song about ‘em, but these the first pasties my mate’s ever baked. I can tell by the smell—well done and yum! He’s already working on additional lyrics (something about flour and being a ketchup guy). 😋😂🤣 #cornishmeatpie #pasty #fingerfood #rutabaga #carrots #potatoes #crust #coppercountry #upperpeninsula #taste #flavorsofkeweenaw (at Keweenaw Peninsula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMf0HYelxVH/?igshid=1g99z1zu9m3pa

Flashback to selfie stick hallway fun with @crystal_up before the 2018 flood that wiped out our offices. We were only back in our newly renovated space about six weeks when the 2020 pandemic hit. After nearly a year of working from home, it’s not the space I miss. It’s the people who filled it and made me smile. I look forward to spending time together again asap—although in this case it will be a belated going away party for this one’s next amazing adventure. If like me you’re lucky enough to be surrounded by caring, talented coworkers, treasure them. I’m so grateful. #flashbackfriday #tbt #hallway #shenanigans #saycheese #adayattheoffice #work #smiles #friends (at Administration Building) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLx-WtIFWc4/?igshid=1nqhnysdbwgvd

When library borrow is so good It takes a long time to remove the page markers and you put off returning it as long as you can—and then you find the book online and buy it. That’s how I’m feeling about Gabriele Cosentino’s text on social media, the post-truth world, and disinformation. I want to be a part of restoring trust and truth. Not easy. But so worth it. #truth #read #learn #bethechange #media #writer #writerscommunity (at USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLPfmpilazQ/?igshid=123744whnlqfc

Street corner situation. Winter always comes in hard when the Old Man and his hounds decide to arrive. You can bank on it (pun intended). Plow lights flash and snowblowers masticate, sounds of clearing-away carried on the sub-zero air. I know there are other places that get this much snow, and get much colder. But for right now it feels like we are the center of the polar vortex. We are the winter warriors. #snow #winter #uppermichigan #drifts #brrrr (at Keweenaw Peninsula) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLCsczlldes/?igshid=1nxwyp97zh5d1

Mama Gaia demos how to find the flow—even in the depths of new-fallen snow. On-point lesson for the final full moon o’ the year and setting New Year intentions. #cold #fullmoon #flowingwater #snowy #forest #quiet #nature #contemplation (at Michigan Tech Nordic Ski Trails And Recreational Forest) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYhOpdFvrI/?igshid=f9rnry8b7yiz

Before the snow. Might be the last time we see the Hairy Toad trail in 2020.
