Urban Yogi series – Take Two
I watched this video interview with Moby on his relationship with yoga. I started to perk up around his discussion of panic attacks. There wasn’t a name or a diagnosis or someone who ever recognized the anxiety and disorders I was suffering from in my early teens. I would have had to been taken to…

Butter on Saltines
“Don’t judge me” I said as I mucked my way through the kitchen. “Don’t tell me what you’re doing because I’m dying to know” replied my uber curious and impatient husband.

Hope you enjoy: She noticed a purple cloud floating toward her. Unable to move, her heart pounding, eyes wide she knew what…

Poem
Just when I think I’m spent Given up my last penny Can’t take one more breath Fingernails broken scraped down the sides of the tub Not getting fished out of the drain Along it comes This damnable thing called hope. @2012 Jennie Olson Six
