As I write this, the calendar has officially switched to Spring, and the Sun is in Aries. This is our sassy Aries-born catten (still a kitten but almost a cat), Milton LoveCat.
We’re having that weather that makes you wish it was warm out – but it isn’t, truly, not for me, anyway. But I do love the pretty sunshine, the birdsong, and the snow melting.
One of the things I’ve enjoyed most consistently this year so far is my hatha yoga practice. I’ve been doing a daily yoga practice since January 2nd, at home using the excellent yoga challenges by Yoga with Adriene. The two years prior to that I’d gone in and out of doing yoga regularly. With this renewed commitment, I’m starting to notice my strength and flexibility improve. I’m so thankful for yoga (physical and the other branches as well).
My internet reading list this month is more of a “to be read” list.
I’ve mostly been reading paper books recently. I read Veronica Roth’s Divergent trilogy, a wild ride.
I’ve already read five of the books (or series) mentioned here – and judging by the high-quality recommendations, I have five new adventures to look forward to acquiring and devouring.
Bookwyrm side note: I think I actually like The Starless Sea more than The Night Circus. What? It’s all about books and has cats…
This Chani-website article on astrology and the generations is quite fascinating.
If you want to be a regular journaler but aren’t yet, I recommend Susannah Conway’s work. This is a new course that looks soooo good.
Okay, these are my “bookmarked to read soon” links – I can’t endorse them yet as I haven’t fully read or listened to them. But this is where my interests are tending this season, apparently! Hee hee.
- “Best life advice tips” from NPR? Seems intriguing.
- Rick Rubin was interviewed on On Being about “Magic, Everyday Mystery, and Getting Creative.
- I was doing a bit of research on spirit guides and alchemical rituals in the Western Occult and Hermetic traditions.
- More arcane spell research, of a different sort, for our family RPG, is based in Pathfinder 2.
That’s all for now. I’m either going back into second hibernation or venturing out bundled up to feel the Spring breezes. We’ll see.
