Aloha! Coming out of the Cave of Creation

Aloha!  Yes I have been in the dark cave of creation these past eight months working on new series in art and preparing for yoga teacher training which I completed this month with a fabulous group of ladies and one lucky guy!  Well are we really ever finished training?  I think probably not.  Here are a few more shots from the training and soon (which means within a few months) I will start posting the new series of artwork which was just recently photographed.  Unfortunately, I did not have time to finish or send out the snail mail annual newsletter this year and not sure it will happen.....perhaps I will combine with next years?

It's good to turn your world upside down once in a while.  Gain a new perspective.  Plus inversions are really good for your bodily fluids in the lower portions.  Helps them to circulate back up to the heart without the heart working so much...

Surviver!

Aloha!  Most of you should have received my Valentine's seasonal card by now and if not then you will want to send me your address to be on the snail mail list.  I'm just peeking out of hibernation long enough to let you all know that I did in fact survive the coldest night ever in the Berkshires!  And thank goodness for the new boiler!  Indeed contemplation of a warmer location for living has crossed my mind..... Hope all the New Englanders are surviving the "big chill" and thanks for all you southerners reminding me that there are places on earth where it is always sandal and sundress and bikini weather!  I certainly do miss that!
 
Back to hibernation...... check back in 6 to 8 weeks.  I'm working in the studios.......
