More grain bowls!
This past winter was mild. So, so very mild. I think we only had three snowfalls?
So, it seems a little premature to get excited about warm weather adventures, but… here we are!
It’s been a month since Ryan and I spontaneously adopted our husky pup Ochi from the Maricopa County animal shelter system, and what a month it’s been!
Namaste friends, it’s time for the next step in my yoga teaching career! This past weekend, I paid my deposit and reserved my spot in a month-long 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) program in Rishikesh Uttarakhand: the BIRTHPLACE OF YOGA in the HIMALAYAN FOOTHILLS in northern INDIA!
To say I am excited is an UNDERSTATEMENT!
Preventing single-use plastic waste with the Azulita Project at the Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival
Anyone who knows me knows that single-use plastics are one of my biggest pet peeves.
No joke — a few years ago at Friendsgiving, we were playing “Taboo.” My friend Lauren drew a card and-
Lauren: “Oooo, OOO! The thing Randi hates!”
Everyone at the table, all at once: “PLASTIC!”
So, when I discovered the Azulita Project, a Flagstaff-based non-profit focused on reducing single-use plastics, I was SO on board.
I’m already way, way behind on my reading for the year, yikes.
Ryan and I are back home from our quick weekend trip down to central Arizona to visit Arcosanti: A destination I’ve been wanting to visit for a while!
It’s been a mostly mild winter, but I’m still excited for spring!
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve done one of these!
But, we kicked the new year off with a “return to office” initiative, and once I took a look at my closet, I realized I needed new clothes.
I’ve spent the last three years working from home in leggings, slippers and Patagonia fleeces, and before that, I spent six months of unemployment wearing sports bras and running shorts. Prior to that, I rotated through the same five outfits as a Peace Corps volunteer and before that, it was 2019 and I was running through Chicago in dark skinny jeans and ballet flats.
Fashion has changed quite a bit since the last time I set foot in an office environment.
The youths wear baggy pants now.
RIP business casual.
Today marks a month since we lost our Yukon.
