Surprise help from NYPD

So yesterday was a very rough day for Adam. I was at Union Square hawking my wears from 6am to 5pm. You have to get there so early to get a good spot. It’s free to table there but you definitely pay in other ways. You have to deal with constant harrasment from the park [...]

Obviously, I’ve been a bit irritated lately. It’s been very noticeable by Adam so he reminded me that I haven’t meditated in a loooonnnnnngggg while and that always helps me stay mellow and balanced.

Screw the Y

Urgh! I just had to quit the Y tonight. As you know, I teach spinning – well, taught spinning at the LIC YMCA. I have been a teacher there for about two years and I just had enough. They moved the spinning classes to an extremely small room (appox. 200 sq. ft) from the main [...]

VIRGO August 24 – September 23
The Virgin or Maiden is the symbol of Virgo – patient, caring, and eager to help. Their mission in life revolves around attending to the needs of others.
