Congratulations on your harvest, Sjanie & Morgan! Well done!
Love,
Mom
PS – You can actually plant lettuce anytime, every few weeks and get a continuous crop…

I was at a class yesterday at Flow where the instructor (Chris Richardson) used a lettuce metaphor. Must be something in the air!

love your blog! It is so very inspired! Best wishes on your certification process, that’s very arduous and exciting to be sure.

Thanks Mom! It’s all your fault, you know. My mom is a great gardener, I aspire to her success.

Eric, I’ve known Chris for years so I’m not surprised at all that he is in the Lettuce Loop! I am, however, simply dying to know in what context lettuce became appropriate. I know, like I’m one to ask, with my mangled metaphors.

Kate, great to “meet” you and thanks for the support! Yeah, it’s arduous and exciting and alla that and I need all the help I can get. xox

He was talking (if I remember correctly) about the nature of effort; that the practice should be seen not so much about striving toward something, but as creating the conditions for something to blossom inside, the way lettuce will grow if you just give it sunlight and water and nutrients. It doesn’t “try” to grow, it just grows – as long as it has what it needs to be able to do that. So just practice (create the conditions), and good things will come. Something like that.

I think he’s a great teacher, by the way. I’m inspired by many of the teachers at YYoga, but particularly by you and Chris – your styles are different, but in some indefinable way, you seem to be broadcasting on the same frequency.
