What I’m Doing Now

Hi, I’m Angie. We have a great new home and studio in Brownsville, VT. I hate the word “busy”, but it is important to let people know that I choose my new responsibilities, obligations, and even invitations very carefully in effort to best manage my time and energy. I love being with people and running classes, but I am an introvert and too many obligations will drain my energy fast. Here are the reasons why I might say “no” to something:

*Last Edited December 18, 2018, 7:00 AM

  • Starting Graduate school for a Master of Arts in Education at Goddard College, January 2019

  • Teaching 5 + weekly yoga class

  • Organizing and leading a 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program

  • Monthly Studio Events- no more than 2 per month, ideally 1

  • Maintaining two websites and blogs: The one you are reading now, and my art site.

  • Running our new yoga studio in Brownsville, VT! Lots of great workshops just for you!

  • Writing projects: YTT manual, daily writing, monthly newsletters, guest posts, etc…

  • Art Making: Creating and making in my art studio each week: Finding show exhibition opportunities: Next show is scheduled for April in Brattleboro, VT!

  • I have returned to the Board of Directors in the non-profit organization “Children of Ma“. In my new role, I am:

  • Organizing the 2018 tour with Swami Gurusharanananda

  • Driving my two teen daughters to and from their school in Westminster, and tending to their various activities.

  • Tending to the needs of my home, husband, and family.

  • Reading: I usually have about 5 books going at once.

  • Making time to hike and walk outdoors

Inspired by a post by Tammy Strobel of Rowdy Kittens, I decided to make a list of my current projects. This originated with Derek Silvers who encourages everyone to make a “NOW” page. This list will help me to stay focused, and it will be a reminder of my need to say “no” to things that are not in support of this list in an effort to simplify my life.

I will update this list as events change, and I refine my projects and goals.

Thanks! Share your own NOW page with me below!
