Friday Round-Up: A Life You Love
Can we discuss something for a minute? How are we firmly and solidly into the month of May? I guess the extra long winter on the northeast has made the already-too-short spring even shorter. But there’s lots of talk and murmurings about the end of the school year and summer plans.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about creating a life you love - what that means, what that looks like. I recently had an opportunity to talk about this with my friend Kindal aka Taylor for her podcast about this topic. Having had my head down and so focused on just getting through the day, I really appreciated the opportunity to stop and reflect on how I’ve started to move towards doing work that is meaningful to me.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s hard and scary, and I question what I’m doing every.single.day.
P.S. I miss having a long summer vacation.

Here’s this week’s Friday Round-Up – some of the best posts and articles that I’ve read this week. I hope that you enjoy them too!
Too Big for Yoga?
This is a really great article written by Anna Guest-Jelley, creator of Curvy Yoga. It’s not just about creating classes that are inclusive but also interesting commentary about the culture of yoga.
Reading After Dark
I’ve been reading a lot about writing personal essays and memoirs (this book – The Situation and the Story: The Art of Personal Narrative
Running: Let the slower runners run
Running is becoming more and more popular. I’ve talked a lot about the amazing running community - how supportive and inclusive it is. But as the sport of running has expanded, so has the size of races and as a result, some races have started to cap the number of runners it can accommodate. Some have implemented a lottery while others have imposed qualifying times. Aside from a race like the Boston Marathon, does putting a qualifying time on a race suggest that slow runners aren’t welcome?
Five ways failing at handstand has made me a better yogini
I adore this post from Katy Widrick. Like many of us (OK, maybe just me), Katy wants to stand on her hands. It’s humbling when you really want to achieve a goal and you work really hard for it, yet it eludes you. I love all the lessons that Katy has learned because I think that it applies to so anything in life. Plus, she got to practice with Instagram yoga superstar Laura Sykora. Yes, I’m jealous.
The OVER FIXING Syndrome
So very often, it feels like Lindsay writes what’s in my head and in my heart. I have a tendency to try to fix things and inevitably, I tinker a little too much trying to make things “perfect.” And inevitably, I make a bit mess. This pretty much sums it up –> “I have so many untidy spaces that I often want to fix up or just delete. But maybe it’s time to embrace the untidy and real places.” Thanks Lindsay for the wisdom!
MCA-DAY “Buddhist Monks”
And because it’s the Beastie Boys and breakdancing monks. And it’s Friday.
