Finding Wiz: October 2014
http://findingwiz.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 1, 2014. What a stupid address. Because everything and nothing always changes, and we know that "always" and "never" is usually a lie. I walked to dinner tonight. The Fitbit demands these kinds of sacrifices, and it's no sacrifice when it's a temperate autumn evening and your destination is over the ridge, at a campus restaurant. So when I wonder how I got so stuck, if you could gently remind me that I live not only in the town where I went to college, but the town where I was born?

Finding Wiz: Yoga Challenge, because I am THRIFTY, and my ham strings are tight.
http://findingwiz.blogspot.com/2015/06/yoga-challenge-because-i-am-thrifty-and.html
Sunday, June 21, 2015. Yoga Challenge, because I am THRIFTY, and my ham strings are tight. The dance class schedule kind of slows down for me in the summer. Luckily, a local yoga studio offers a new student discount (unlimited drop-in classes for 2 weeks for $20! If I go twice, I've already gotten my money's worth. So yes, I accept this challenge. I shall om and namaste until the cat / cows come home, or two weeks is up, whichever comes first. And I've already gone four times! The overall intent is to ge...

Finding Wiz: June 2014
http://findingwiz.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Life hacker has collected all the tools, done very little hacking. Have you tried tapping? The one perfect exercise, which according to some click-bait health site, is squats? Oh, everyone else is doing green juice and planks, silly me. Topiary cats are all the rage. Apple cider vinegar did kind of attract some clicks to this blog, for some (Dr. Oz tag! But it's so hard to focus on just one project! Book Still considering this one.). And that means something, right? Anna was abl...

Finding Wiz: September 2014
http://findingwiz.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Change your pillow, change your life! I am pretty sure a new pillow would change my life right now. Have I cheapened the concept of life change? What does it mean to "change your life"? What IS the work that would make my neck feel better? Ah, but why those pillows? Could it be that you just want to go back in time to when you made plenty of money, and got to go to fancy conferences? Besides, those were feather pillows, and that might not be firm enough for side-sleeper pos...

Finding Wiz: August 2014
http://findingwiz.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2014. The time that Sharon Kihara made me cry. I may have recovered from Tribal Revolution by now (it was in June, if that puts it in scale). I'm not sure I want to "get back to normal", though, because some of these things are important lessons, that I don't want to waste. As usual, I did not take enough pictures. Or, any pictures. I did get a souvenir mug, of which I am exceedingly fond. It was the 10th Tribal Rev. And you know what? It was called White Cat, Black Cat. By the ...

Finding Wiz: History repeats itself.
http://findingwiz.blogspot.com/2015/02/history-repeats-itself.html
Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Well, either I am losing my mind or facing reality. I've decided to try running again. This may be a bad idea because:. Injuries occurred last time. I am not particularly talented at running. My reasons are impure and vain (appearance and the opinions of near-total strangers). But it's a good idea because:. There's something about running. I can implement my own running plan this time. When I was running regularly, I was healthy and calm. I want to go back there.

Finding Wiz: November 2014
http://findingwiz.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 6, 2014. Glass half full, half-way there, unapologetic Pollyanna. Why not be positive? Is there a cash prize for all the doubters when the worst-case scenario becomes possible? Does looking at the negative improve your daily existence? I just don't get it. And I don't think I'm a happy shiny person. But of course, none of us do. I can't deny that knowing someone thought I was cynical would bother me a lot. I do still care about what people think of me, for some reason. I could go on an...

Finding Wiz: Word of the year: Enough
http://findingwiz.blogspot.com/2014/01/word-of-year-enough.html
Wednesday, January 1, 2014. Word of the year: Enough. You know how there's those people who are like, "I love Christmas! Or "Halloween is my favorite holiday! Well, I'm the one that ADORES New Year's. Lists! Optimistic statements and wishes for future happiness! This is what makes me tick. 1 Say hi to the "boss" every day (the boss being whoever runs the particular endeavor I'm trying to participate with). 3 Find one truth every day (the truth being beauty, or quiet, or something I need to say). 4 Pick u...

Finding Wiz: Aw. Awe. Awesome.
http://findingwiz.blogspot.com/2015/01/aw-awe-awesome.html
Monday, January 19, 2015. Aw Awe. Awesome. So, for a woman who does performance improvement for a living, reads self-help books for fun, and writes about self-improvement because she can't NOT do it, New Year's is IT. It's the time. The best time. To be truthful, I have also set Valentine's Resolutions, Easter Intentions, Memorial Day Meanings, et cetera, because I can find a way to start over whatever time of year it happens to be. But this is New Year's.). So after advice from Martha Beck,. So, I'd pic...
