[SOLSC] Ashrams and Baseball

It’s SOLSC Tuesday! It’s time!  It’s for me to share the #1 person I would follow to an ashram anywhere.  Click here and here to see what the heck I’m talking about. So, super duper, a-number one, longest standing person I would follow to an ashram anywhere is… Edgar Martinez–retired designated hitter for the Seattle…

[SOLSC] The Three People I Would Follow to an Ashram

It’s SOLSC Tuesday! photo by Raveesh Vyas on Flickr Back in the day (okay, last month), I mentioned that Sir Ken Robinson was one of the three people I would follow to an ashram anywhere.  I was asked who the other two might be. I didn’t answer. And this is why. There are only two left. All of…

[SOLSC] I Can See Clearly Now

I am taking part in the Slice of Life Story Challenge with Two Writing Teachers. For this challenge I will be attempting to write a “Slice of Life” post each day in the month of March and each Tuesday after that. My first pair of spectacles (as my pops called them) were gray, thick-framed, bifocals that…
