My blog was having an identity crisis. A photography blog. A life blog. A blog called “In a Snap” didn’t make so much sense to me anymore. What I really wanted to write about was how my life has changed. How my struggles strengthened me. How I found yoga and meditation and mindfulness. How writingContinue reading “Wildflowers & Wings”

Spinning Out
One of the things I tried while trying to escape myself was spin class. Last winter, my yoga studio shut down once again because of covid. I didn’t know what to do with myself.
