Some lines

Much in my life has changed since July 2023. I got divorced. I’ve graduated from my 200- and 300-hour yoga programs (thanks, Practice Yoga Austin!) I’ll be a CYT-500 once I complete my continuing education credits. I told the rights holder to a poem I’m including in my book that I would publish the JLFContinue reading “Some lines”

Forever will I be grateful for his help. Initially, this was supposed to be a tiny,Continue reading “State of the Book: January 2022”
