Excellent Guided Meditations from Hannah Leatherbury

I am so grateful for Hannah Leatherbury's guided meditations. She's a yoga teacher (who's recently gone back to school). Her voice is beautiful. Unlike many guides who focus totally on thinking, she supplies hand motions and novel breathing patterns, as well as nifty bits of poetry. Her technical quality is outstanding—like a morning bird whispering in my ear. They work well when I'm lying down, and I return to her meditations whenever I feel lost.

beading: Mookaite Fiddlejoy Necklace

Given the imperative to avoid face touching, I’ve been cranking out jewelry that gives me something to fiddle with. This “fiddlejoy” necklace combines round and rice-shape mookaite beads — mostly burgundy color — with some sparkly red rondelles. Hanging from the center is a 40mm mookaite ring with a 12mm bead suspended inside.
