I am so honored and thrilled that am energetic and smart enough to support my college preparation students with integrity. Most often I receive a "Help" from a parent who is frantic because of the advice that they have been given. When possible I am able to step in and revise the plan which is what I have been doing with a student since August. Yesterday, they submitted the first round of applications. Everything was so smooth, and beautifully documented.. maesakharov.com

Forever have a smile when I think of Rodney Yee and how he truly was sensitive to me being one of the at the time odd UXIT's who did not teach Yoga and had other careers and interests... yet same values. Rodney is an amazing instructor--I was often a notetaker and wow.

I first read about the Urban Zen program in the New York Times. The article was about a pilot program at Beth Israel Hospital where Urban Zen Integrative Therapists were supporting medical teams on the 9the floor-primarily with Cancer patients.
I knew this hospital well from visiting friends with AIDS. The article caught my attention as it stressed the program was growing and looking for the participation of Yoga teachers, psychologists, nurses, doctors and those with like experiences. The program was a comprehensive training that was founded by Donna Karan, Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee.

I was immediately drawn having practiced Yoga since high school, taken teacher trainings, volunteered in hospitals and truly loved an integrative approach to health care. I sent off the application and was excited to be accepted. The training was amazing Donna, Rodney and Colleen brought in extraordinary faculty that included Roshi Joan Halifax (Contemplative Care), Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor (What an opportunity).

I loved the people that I met in the program-however-I find myself to be an awkward Yoga teacher and so I got myself into being being notetaker.

Sometimes Rodney would poke me into postures--anyway at the end of the year I failed the final test and Rodney found me a tutor for special lessons. Kari Harendorf was amazing-me not so. When I came back to retake the test... again Rodney truly pushed me through.- I not so great a student.. Several years later I became a mentor-subsequently sent on 2 trips to Haiti--I remember Rodney and Colleen saying when my name was called that I had a "Servant's Heart"-that is probably true-but an Asana teacher-not my forte.Oh I forgot- I did become one of the writers when we had a blog...I truly loved the training and it recently revitalized welcoming everyone..

Yesterday, was a great day similar to what was before the front space land grab. Amazing family came to work on college prep. I felt my energy zoom. It has been so difficult to walk through another persons vision of the entry to your home and not a collective decision.. kind of like living the backyard in shack. The area that was initially the only part of they land is now relegated to storage, trash, bags of dirt-- so that is what was a unique shared space--has become-- so symbolic of the times when people rather than discussing and accepting differences come to consensus make ridiculous claims.
The memory of what was was great and my friend and neighbor came over and shared some of the time as it should be and not a decaying private fiefdom.

Yesterday, I had a wonderful surprise visit from neighbors who moved several years ago. I felt myself brighten with the smiling faces and concern for each other. The affection was palpable. Sometimes a situation becomes so untenable that you don't realize getting pulled into an abyss. I really don't quite not how to get out of it as I walk by this idiotic land grab to get to the street...but I am open to opportunities albeit difficult. and a ray of sunshine these former neighbors might be moving back part time.. Excuse my indulgence...and I appreciate listening. Ironically, I had been dreaming of these former neighbors.. kind of felt like angels were here.

I had a dream that I was in a big what looked like a sporting goods shop or bike shop. I was will Sue Elkind and Carol Lauchner. They are people that I deeply admire. I went out to get them lunch and could not find anything. When I got back they had already eater and I could not find my wallet. I went back to the large factories where I looked for their lunch and one of the people had my little purse. I got back to the store and they had to leave. I share with another friend and they said it is anxiety and loss. I do feel that although I try to do my best..
