There are so many Wabi Sabi surprises around every corner on College Hill in Easton, PA. Here are just a few glimpses on my walk back from College Hill Nursery School!
Yesterday, someone told me he had never been to Easton. He’d heard too many bad things about it. On the contrary, I find Easton picturesque, [...]
This is a poem I wrote some time ago (circa 2002) and wanted to share.
Stillness
by Kelly Prentice
Stillness… how rare and fleeting,
If only waters ran deep,
Shallow pools lack depth and meaning.
If we could dive in with all of our soul
Instead of treading water,
The slightest disturbance empties our bowl.
Reactionary. Disturbing.
Then chaos evokes a stream of breath,
Deep waters [...]
We went as a family to see Rise of the Guardians at the ROXY Theater in Northampton last night (If you haven’t gone there, go!). It was a beautiful and magical tale of light winning out over darkness. The Easter Bunny, voiceover by Hugh Jackman, had me grinning ear to ear with his Aussie accent.

Happy new year! It’s been a slow start to 2013 for us… and I think it’s a good sign.

What a good reminder for me. I am a dancer, a yogini, a hiker, a snowboarder – I have always needed to move!
I learned the concept of “inner resource” from the FEAR to FREEDOM for pregnant moms certification I completed last year. Though I didn’t have a name for it before, I have always used an “inner resource” in my life — a place I can travel in my mind any time I need to feel totally [...]
A wise friend and teacher of mine, Jessica Brown, once said, “Just be quiet more. It doesn’t have to be meditation.”
Does the idea of meditation intimidate you? Not to worry! You don’t need to meditate. But you might want to try these simple steps to find clarity about issues you thought were beyond your comprehension. [...]
The older I get, the more I notice the snap, crackle, and pop of my body opening when I do yoga…. What a lovely feeling.
So many people are afraid to feel. Like my teacher Jessica says, it’s almost as if they think the feeling will eat them alive. But when you go right into the feeling, you find out it’s not that bad, and in fact you often end up walking right through the fire to the other side. [...]
