Monday morning. Currently sitting by the pool alone because my social battery is dead. I have no energy to interact with anyone right now. I just want to sit here and enjoy my coffee and listen to the sounds of the jungle and just not deal with anyone. So here...Read More

Sunday. Hard to believe it’s the end of August already. Where does the time go? I had to take some space from the group because no one here cares that violent protests have erupted in the country over the weekend. The general attitude appears to be, “I don’t care what’s...Read More

Saturday. Loving life at the yoga shala, but definitely over the vegan diet. I always think I can do it and then I try the food and I’m like… yeah, I can’t do this. Life is too short for me to not enjoy my food. I definitely agree we need...Read More

Friday morning. Busy day yesterday. It’s been awhile since I’ve been go-go-go like that all day. It was fun! We had a day off from yoga school to go out and explore a bit. Everything was pre-arranged, which was nice. We got up at 6am, left at 7:30, and set...Read More

EXT: A rainforest somewhere in Southeast Asia. A naive British explorer has been separated from his tour group on a hike and found himself lost and alone in the treacherous jungle. As darkness begins to fall, he searches for safe refuge from the many dangers around him. As he passes...Read More

Update from the cave: I have evolved back into my natural dragon self. This is my natural state of being. I was born a dragon (under the Chinese Zodiac), I will die a dragon. I am the dragon. I forgot I was a dragon. I forgot my nature, I forgot...Read More

I am here in the cave. I am the cave. The cave is me. I am safe. I feel like the chaos of the universe is inside of me. I feel it. I see it. I am in this meditation clearing my mind. The mind is not clear. The mind...Read More

Wednesday. Had to leave my morning class because I suddenly became overwhelmed and filled with chaotic, scattered energy that I could not get under control. I politely asked to be excused, then promptly disappeared into the rainforest and had a full-blown meltdown. I just started crying and couldn’t stop. I...Read More

Tuesday evening. Chillin’ in my room at the end of a very good day. I am having a very good experience here at the yoga shala in Bali. I love the group of people in my cohort. I cannot state enough what a breath of fresh air it is to...Read More
