October heartbreaks and springtime hopes: For every team, and every dream, there is a season

By Jean Gabler, The Knothole View

This is only the second blog post that I have written this season because I have been focused on trying to figure out my life after my divorce in June.

I started out not wanting to be labeled as divorced. I thought I could be who I always was, even though I am divorced. What I have discovered is that being divorced has changed me. I am no longer a part of a couple who gets invited to go out with other couples, I no longer get to play cards as a couple with our neighbors, and I no longer can plan on being invited to all family functions in a family—my former husband's—that I technically am no longer a part of. I miss all of these things much more than I thought I would.

Gorilla Yogis: 'Out of captivity of the studio and into the urban jungle'

By Kathy Magnuson, Minnesota Women’s Press

"Gorilla Yogis is a movement, a migration to yoga beyond studio walls. Gorilla Yogis gather to practice urban jungle yoga in unexpected, offbeat places. In parks, on street corners, in museums, art galleries, at cafes, in restaurants, in music venues, on barges on the Mississippi River, on rooftop decks, on farms, in barns, in lofts, abandoned spaces, baseball fields. It's yoga out of captivity. Each month we host donation-based yoga events where we raise money for organizations that are doing hard work to make this jungle an awesome place to live." -from the Gorilla Yogis' website

Respect the unexpected.
Do yoga, do good.
Live in the ohm.
Peace, love and bananas.

“I hope that we get a ring… Hopefully it will look good on the resume,” said Gillom, the Washington Mystics assistant coach and former Lynx head coach.
