I'm going to have to write a post about obstacles to home practice at some point. I encountered several today - baking bread, taking down the Christmas tree, checking email, and so forth. So my practice time was abbreviated, which revealed a flaw in my stated YoMo intentions. It's no big deal to do one… Continue reading YoMo day 4: What was I thinking?

I've been… Continue reading YoMo day one: UK and SV
