In 2012 I wrote about my yoga brain. Fourteen years later I’ve realized I don’t have just one brain state. I have a whole house of them. There’s a yoga brain and a hiking brain. There’s a writing brain, a romance brain and a networking brain that counts the seconds until it can go home. There’s even a kitty brain. Each room has its own mix of analysis and flow, and I’ve found that the best moments happen in the doorways between them. Wander through with me.

What I didn’t know I’d want to know now
I’m enchanted by myself. I just reread my blog posts from many years ago when my three offspring were teenagers. Some of the posts I deleted. Others I will savor for years to come. The writing was quite snide but only a single parent raising teenagers—ones who are born from their own genes—can relate to me…
