I’m a northern girl married to a northern boy living in sun drenched metro Atlanta. Five years ago we adopted a baby southern cat that is constantly by my side during all knitting endeavors. She’s changed our lives in only the best ways.
I love Indian food, walking, yoga, knitting, making jewelry, quiet places, reading, traveling and large blocks of time designated for nothing. This blog is mostly about knitting projects, my love of yarn, textiles and bits of life woven in between. I also intend to share monthly peace readings simply because we all need peace wherever we can find it.
There are Buddhist writings that claim there are eight wondrous place where we can receive protection. The fifth wondrous place is where we create beauty and cultivate an understanding of the human world. My life’s purpose is to create beauty through everything I touch physically, emotionally and spiritually. Along the way I hope to gain an understanding of the human world I find myself in and may that prove to be a protection to myself and every path I cross.
I dream of living the quiet monastic life in a remote country (pure fantasy, will never happen). I also dream about living at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in northern New Mexico, drinking in the big sky every morning (you never know, could happen.....)

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

I’ve 
been a student of yoga for over ten years, yet I feel as though I’ve only tapped the surface of this deep enduring practice. I cannot begin to explain how it has influenced and saved my life over and over again throughout the years. It came calling me at a young age when I randomly opened a book with pictures of yoga poses, but that was a time when there were no neighborhood yoga studios. I did my best to learn from books, but yoga cannot be learned from a book. Books are useful as an adjunct to formal classes and they can also call us to the art as in my case, but ultimately yoga must be transmitted in the flesh from teacher to student.

May this small expression of the awe, mystery and power of yoga act as a prayer flag inscribed with gratitude and thanks giving to all those who persevere in teaching, writing books, creating workshops and programs in hospitals and healing centers around the world so the average lay person can garnish these wonderful tools for self discovery and healing. Thank you thank you thank you..... Namaste
