Stayed in town while my husband went to our hometown for Thanksgiving so I could take care of our elder cat, Lilly, who is 18 and needing special feedings. She is still silly and feisty 💕💕💕 #cat

This was about 11 years ago... I was about 46, and it took me so much freaking courage to post this but it led to wonderful things, including people coming to this studio from all over the country to learn about my Peony Somatic Dance. Super cool. (And it has my fave band, Spoon so there's that.)

After ten days of a virus that wasn’t horrible but kept me really tired, I finally got back to the gym this morning. I’m looking a little worn out…

I’ve worked with teenagers before but in a therapeutic setting. Last night was the first time I’ve worked with them at a dance school. And sometimes I wonder if my work works outside those therapeutic settings. But of course it does. They were a delight. Time just flew. 🥰🥰🥰 #peonysomaticdance #butoh

"I am beginning to think that in our time we will correct almost nothing and get almost nowhere, but if we can just prepare a compassionate and receptive soil for the future, we will have done a great work. I feel at least that this is the turn my own life ought to take."

Late start at the gym this morning. Mondays have been extra slow the last few weeks. But I did it so that’s all that matters. 🌸🌸🌸 #trainingfortennis #alsotopunchnazis

It doesn’t take long to see strength gains with lifting if you’re even a bit consistent. But it can also be really slowwwwww and that’s why most people give up. Decide once that you’re in it for the long haul and decide once that slow is okay. 🌸🌸🌸 a favorite begonia of the flower variety…

Tennis today was extra challenging. The heat was way too high for me but I pushed, until I realized I was no longer pushing in that good way (past my comfort zone into challenging...) but I was starting to just be stubborn in that way that can lead to injury. So only 45 minutes. In 92 degrees. #cats

Extra grief feelings today. I miss life before he came down that damn escalator. And I know this country has been one problem after another since its "founding," but my god... I'm extra tired today, emotionally and mentally.

I don’t like to eat right upon waking. But I do go to the gym as soon as I wake up and I’m mostly lifting and I’m wondering if I should be fueling as a fully menopausal human. Anyone with experience of this? And HOW to fuel when I don’t like food right away. Oy. #weightlifting #menopause #longevity

Walking at the bird park today, I realized it’s time to increase my daily movement practices again. I’m still at a low amount compared to what I used to do when I felt my best mentally. Starting tomorrow… 🌸🌸🌸

When I’m gone more than she finds acceptable (which is anything over 90 minutes) 🤣 Today’s a rest day. No tennis. No gym. Maybe a walk. 🌸🌸🌸 #begoniayuki #cat
