Mysore, India Part I

It is day 13 of 35 in Mysore, India. The trip here went fine, except that it was brutally long and uncomfortable. My apartment is centrally situated in the famed Gokulam yoga neighborhood. The small studio is simple, clean, and comfortable, and it's right down the street from the yoga shala where I practice every morning. The neighborhood is upper class, with Indian style stone mini-mansions and gorgeous, loungy, vegetarian cafes. The weather could not be more perfect - warm and breezy. It’s easy to get around, and so far, almost everyone has been polite and helpful. So all of my root chakra basic needs are met. Safe and sound. Check.

School-Year Cold Kit: Preparing for the return to Germland

Last spring, I shared my favorite end-of-the-year adrenal fatigue rescue remedies, and I can hardly believe it; it is already time to prepare a cold kit for the return back to school. I am a speech therapist and choose not to wear a mask because the mouth is a pretty important part of my job. Yes, kids with cute little lisps occasionally spit onto my face. Sometimes, I can see the little droplets floating towards me in slow motion and feel them land. It’s part of the job. Saliva. Sneezes. Snot. Spit. The 4 S’s of being an SLP.  Communication difficulties can make you self-conscious, and these young ones need good support and deserve respect and dignity, making the spit and inevitable seasonal flu an acceptable part of the job for me.
