When I opened my yoga studio I didn’t really know what I was thinking. I had sold all of my things and booked a one way ticket to India before I got cold feet and moved back to San Diego to open Hale Holistic. The day before I opened the studio I sat out on …
A friend asked me the other day if I could say something positive. I thought really hard and then determined I couldn’t. I can’t see how it’s my job to fix my reaction to the incompetence of the world when no one who is responsible for my anger is doing anything about it. Why am …
It’s been a while since my last post. I was on a roll with the 500 Words a Day and then straight into the Whole30 blog that hit the big time with Melissa. But since then, nada. And it’s because I’m fucking tired. We have been working an ungodly amount in the last few months. …
There was a time in my life when I wanted a big house and a turbo-charged European sports car. There was also a time in my life when I rode only a bicycle and worked for Greenpeace. Then there was the time when I decided to give up sugar, dairy, grains, legumes, and popcorn snacks. …
*Special thank you to my parents and Alexis’ Buffalo family for making this all possible. You guys were really amazing. Getting married is supposed to be the happiest time of your life. This is an important concept to remember as you begin to question your love, friendships, and the importance of spending the equivalent of …
9:21 a.m. The best way to stay in touch with Woody is through my Instagram. There is just no way around it. And to continue to read the blogs I post, as I will post many more blogs in my life, make sure you like the Kale & Cigs FB page. Those are the things …
7:54 p.m. When I’m happy, I’m really fun. It’s the reason people keep me around. Sure I go dark a few days every month but I mostly keep to myself and try not to take it out on anyone. We are all carrying around our daily battles and our lifelong battle wounds. But when I’m …
8:08 a.m. I slept well again last night. This could be it. The thing I’ve been waiting for. Sleep is my nemesis and if I start wracking up these peaceful nights with deep rest I think it’s going to change my whole life. I did also think about the different reasons I could use for …
8:35 a.m. I am so dizzy this morning. Last night I could have fainted. I experienced my first food dream. Of course, it was nachos. Thousands of them. And every dip you could imagine. Melted cheese, salsa, guacamole. There were dips hanging from the walls and entire tables made of cheese. It was a glorious …
8:10 a.m. Woody won’t come out and say it but I know he’s pissed he didn’t get a pic up on the blog yesterday. We were starving before bed last night. I started in on a snacking forage and Alexis followed. We were eating food like raccoons. I licked the remains of a squeezed lemon …
