To begin beach yoga this morning, our instructor Ilana prompted us to look out at the beautiful sea, then close our eyes and let the sound of the waves wash over us while we “set our intention” for the morning’s practice.  She said to scan our bodies, asking them what they needed from us today.
While being scanned, my ample body said, “Be good to me.”  Being a lifelong carbaholic, I knew exactly what that meant, but still I started bargaining.  “Are you saying no more batches of Ghirardelli brownies?” “Yes,” I sensed.
