truckin' along

it's been a busy weekend, filled with a weekend-long motor speech disorders course with jay rosenbek (awesome and inspiring), a birthday party, a benefit for njg's teeth, and personning the booth for prananda at sunday parkways in penninsula park. i luckily got a little breather this evening on the way to picking up the weasel and her hubby at the airport - the sunset was so beautiful on this longest day of the year...

just liked 'em

ch-ch-ch-changes redux

so, things are a-changin' 'round here...again! the studio where i teach yoga is closing its doors at the kenton location and temporarily relocating to the owner's house. we are hopeful that a new and improved prananda yoga and arts center will rise from the ashes like a phoenix in (at the latest) september. in the interim, i will be teaching a donation-only weekly class out of my house for my peeps who have been hard-hit by this crummy economy. and maybe some other free/almost free classes to keep up my skills.

all this change has me thinking back to that new year's intention i set back at the year's turn. i'm trying to remember to keep this little heart open to what the universe brings...

are you?

i <3 portland

a pinker shade of gay

tonight we went to "a pinker shade of gay," a benefit organized by play/start for SMYRC (the sexual minorities youth resource center - a super organization) at backspace. there were great bands, good friend times, and a photobooth - who could ask for anything more?

joell's birthday yay!

we fêted joell at dr. curls's new (amazing!) house, which is only a few blocks from our house. the date for the party coincided with national donut day! so much fun! but i didn't take many pictures - boo!

zürich day 4

for the last day of our trip, we went with christian to lucerne and mount pilatus. we rode the gondolas up to the peak, hiked around a bit and saw some mountain goats, listened to the swiss horns, and ate some lunch. then it was down the mountain on the cogwheel train (scary!) and dipping our feet (well, christian's were the only legs long enough to do that) in lake lucerne. we took the train back to the city of lucerne and then hiked up to the old city wall, climbing to the top of one of the towers. then it was back to zürich (with a nap on the train for all three of us). we headed over to c&k's apartment for dinner, where we finally got to see kristi (and luckily, she was on the mend). we ordered pizza in and enjoyed some yummy swiss wines.
