One of My Favorite Student Stories About the Importance of RelaxationRead More
Some of you heard this story this past summer right after it occurred. I thought I would take a moment here to share it with everyone else. While on vacation in the Lelanau Peninsula at the end of this summer, I took advantage of a day of nice weather to roll out my yoga mat …

One of my favorite things about summer (besides not being cold all the time for a change!) is having a garden. Gardens are different year to year, and this year my garden seemed to get off to a slow start. It didn’t help that something (bugs, rodents, bunnies?) was eating all my seedlings at first! …
