Everything in the world is broken so far today: my husband, the showers at the yoga school, the hair dryers at the yoga school, the credit card machine. I dropped my cup full of water all over the place. Maybe Mercury is in retrograde still?
The Best:
I stood my ground, however briefly, while my husband was having an addict tantrum. I told him I didn't want to do things for him that he could do for himself, and he screamed at me and threw things. He scares me when he throws things. One day, he will hurt me or the dogs or himself. After I realized that he was angry beyond what I could handle, I left. I went to yoga, and now I'm at work. I took care of myself, and I was strong.
The Worst:
I haven't done it yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to call my husband's aunt to ask for money to help with his methadone. I know that by continuing to borrow from her in his name, I'm cushioning his bottom and keeping him from dealing with consequences of his behavior, which enables him to continue having this behavior. I'm not ready to stop yet.
All this action before 8 a.m.!

This book was my inspiration for beginning this blog. It's an excellent reference for a student new to yoga with excerpts from the Yoga Sutra as well as explanations and applications to modern life. The teaching is presented through the story of a young yogini who is transporting the Yoga Sutra to Tibet, which makes it an easy read. Reading it has been a profound experience for me.
I saw Blair Lewis speak recently, and his ideas about a revolution towards consciously choosing happiness were profound. I've not gotten the book yet, but I hope to soon. I'm looking forward to learning more about his approach to uncovering the quiet place that's inside all of us.
