Fave thing: I was really into the debrief afterwards where everyone shared their own, personal experiences of how it affected them. It was different for everyone, but also really cool to know that everyone’s experiences were all NORMAL. 

We’re getting desperate for new things to do over here,so back to the kitchen it is. My sister had recently made cashew queso dip, so I headed to her apartment (she’s on my Quaranteam) to whip up a tasty little dish.

While I have a yoga background (200 hour YTT in Baron Baptiste style power yoga), I do NOT have a background in any sort of gymnastics (minus classes when I was 8) or circus things that one might want to have when doing acro yoga. Nevertheless, I found a beginners video on Yoga Journal that starts you out with some basic trust and testing the balance moves. It ends in a full on bow pose, so you can just watch the video to see how that goes.

Okay so real talk: we’re all (and by all, I literally mean all humans on Planet Earth) under some sort of quarantine - self-or otherwise which means we have a LOT of time at home. This One New Thing series is about to get interesting….

I was supposed to be in Portugal the day after I returned from Puerto Rico. But, as the universe would have it, the Coronavirus (COVID #19) outbreak had just started to really take hold in the US. The day before, 3/11, Trump instituted a travel ban on Europeans coming into the US. The day before that, some things were getting cancelled, but not many. The week before, it was just a thing happening in Italy.

#feministphotovaycay is a retreat for feminist photographers. It’s been happening for a few years now and each year, the group goes to a really cool location for time to chat business, get away, chill, and photograph. Run by my friend and biz summit schemer Carly Romeo, it’s now a part of her new retreat business, Here Now Magic - using the internet to connect in real life: exploring the magic of being here, now.
