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.

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