I have been volunteering at the Kingston, NY SPCA for 4 months now.....I work in the first cat room which has about fifty cats.......
I can't remember when cats were not in my life....
The first day I spent here I felt like I had come home...a cat among cats.....All colors, shapes and sizes...abused, abandoned, but so many are amazingly resilient...The staff here works nonstop...
no time for complaining....
Last Sunday I adopted Holstein...a five year old male cat....he has been adopted before and returned because he is uncomfortable around cats. He has been here close to two years. He is here because his owner died......
Most people come to look at the kittens which are very adoptable........but I have been blessed to witness miracles...people requesting older cats or special needs cats.....
There are at least two other cat rooms....
about 200 cats in residence....

I´m sitting with my cup of tea. After a monday morning where everybody is off to work and kindergarten I´m now getting ready to begin my own week. Sigh.
Part of me wants to go away to a place in the sun. The summer came late here and the fall early so it´s already getting chilly.
This week I´m starting my fall teaching schedule and I am going to teach a lot more classes and workshops that ever. I´m excited and a bit anxious as well.
I will teach a women´s workshop on the practice of feminine principles. It´s the first time and I am very excited. This practice has grown in my own life for the past year. I feel this is my true calling - yoga for the female body. I know that in the years to come this will continue to grow in me. I keep meeting all these wonderful women and I feel deeply connection to them.
This practice rings true for me. i actually feel that it´s another expression of the writing I did with the wise women. It´s a bodily way to express my inner most essence which is rooted in the feminine.

Wise women everywhere
I have been busier than a one-armed paperhanger. I have not been writing, meditating, chanting and yesterday I had a migraine. My body is saying Stop.
Om gam ganapataye namaha...chant 9 times or anythng that can be divided by 9. I must google the 9 bit.
What will help me today: Restorative poses, working on my novel, gardening, eating lightly, being in the sun and of course thinking about my workshop with all my wise women friends this Thursday.
