i've been helping out with a yoga in schools program! the program director is someone i know because she's a lululemon ambassador and also teaches yoga at my favorite local studio. i'm using her program for my monitoring & evaluation project for one of my classes, so basically doing a miniature version of what i did this summer for Youth Run.

all fall sports are fully in season! this is the view i have of Mike most of the time. it's also the only hint we have that it's fall. it's still 90+ degrees every day, and too hot to hang out outside.

had a yoga class with my coworkers at the New Orleans Athletic Club ballroom, which was glorious. such a beautiful space in a very, very old health New Orleans health club.

this week, i happen to be doing a unit in one of my classes on breastfeeding, and a few of the readings are comparing the U.S. state with the highest rate of breastfeeding to the state with the lowest rate of breastfeeding--- that would be Oregon versus Louisiana. of course, i'm finding this unit particularly interesting for a variety of reasons, but it's things like this that remind me to be proud of where i'm from and proud of where i have chosen to be!
