Living is a process. 8230;so please be patient with me. Breaking up is hard to do…. Needy human being →. I’m currently sipping crown and coke, eating Thanksgiving leftovers, watching a chick flick with my sister. and i’m happy. i really am. But there’s still that uncomfortable ache, that grapefruit-sized knot in the pit of my stomach. and i toy with the idea of texting the ex. I cried as i peeled each one. The absence of old traditions made room for new. One thought on “ heartbreak holiday. That is why w...

Living is a process. 8230;so please be patient with me. Yoga Teacher Training Week 1: An invitation to a spiritual life →. A lesson in detoxing. As i mentioned in my last post, i just completed a five-day detox. that means that for the last five days, i’ve moved very intentionally when it came to food. i woke up early to prepare my meals, had a list of nourishing options at my disposal, knew what my day would consist of and stayed within those boundaries. It’s true that some toxification we have no...

Hurdling Hugo: June 2012
http://tacklingtolstoy.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Forward Momentum, Albeit Not Without Trepidation. A novel. is born, necessarily as it were, with all its chapters; a drama is born with all its scenes.". In his introductory note to the Definitive Edition to Notre-Dame de Paris. As I prepare to begin what I will, for lack of a better term, call the second leg of my journey through the works of Victor Hugo, I find myself filled with the same sort of anxiety I felt a little over a year ago as I prepared to read Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Allow me to explain&...

Hurdling Hugo: January 2012
http://tacklingtolstoy.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
What brave new world is this that has such treasures in it? Have no fear of robbers or murderers. They are external dangers, petty dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the real murderers. The great dangers are within us. Why worry about what threatens our heads or our purses? Let us think instead of what threatens our souls.". Charles Myriel a.k.a. Monseigneur Bienvenu, The Bishop of Digne. Which offers a 1987 English translation by Lee Fahnestock and Norman MacAfee&#...

Hurdling Hugo: November 2011
http://tacklingtolstoy.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Coming in January: Hurdling Hugo. And hints toward Capote's In Cold Blood. Sometime soon, I will have to review them for the blog here. However, in the meantime, I have an announcement to make. It was a little over a year ago that I announced my intention to read Tolstoy's classic War and Peace. From that simple announcement, a journey of two novels, several short stories, and a literary awakening sprang forth. I came to a realization before I had even finished War and Peace. I'll take to reading Hugo's ...
