Mmmm peanut butter and golden-brown toast! I loved being bequeathed the single peanut on top of the swirl in Skippy jars as a kid. An honour.
I also love this extended metaphor and consideration that separation is natural — the work is in trusting and stirring ourselves back together over and over.
I love this comparison of PB and yoga. I'm writing a piece on yoga this week and featuring a bunch of yogis I follow and love on substack and you know I had to include you, Jeannie!
What an honor, Stephanie! I am jumping over to your Substack now to read. <3 Thank you so much for being here and thinking to include me for your piece. Much love!
This is such a great articulation of why yoga works. It’s so simple, but so profound. Get on the ground, breathe, loosen. I am obsessive about my hip openers and pretty stiff without a small flow every day. Whenever I say, “I need to get dressed” to my youngest, they say, “But no yoga!” lol. It’s such a part of how I put myself together for the day, but extends the time until I can play with them. Sometimes they just can’t wait that extra ten and I find myself in a back and forth with a five year old about whether or not I am going to roll out my mat 😂
Amen hip openers. I never knew how much I was holding there. That opening/release will be an ongoing process in me for years to come. I really appreciate how much it's a part of your routine, whether it happens every day or not. Glad you liked the PB connection- I feel like I should give credit to some little universe fairy who dropped it into my consciousness in the moment. Life has been a little chaotic, and I've missed reading your posts Kara, but please know your Substack is always a place I seek out when I can slow down again. Popping over there now <3
Hear you on the chaos. It’s been preternaturally calm in my corner but even that is a “bumpy” change. Like: where are my neuroses? Lol. Absolutely love having you as a reader when you make it and totally understand the reality that it’s sometimes not available 💞 Thinking of you!

Love this so much. Thank you!
Yeeess the fresh top of the swirl in the brand new PB jar- so special! I'm glad this landed with you Claire, I love having you here <3
So very true of yoga and of life. I also like peanut butter toast, almond butter toast and avocado toast too!
Mmmmm yes Susan! “These are a few of my favorite things.” 🎶🎵
