About Amy:Although I'm best known as a yoga therapist for my books and teachings on Yoga and mental health, Yoga for Depression (Harmony Books), Yoga Skills for Therapists (W.W. Norton), and my new card deck Yoga for Your Mood (Sounds True), my passion, ever since I picked up a pencil in the second grade, was to write a book with a character like Nancy Drew who could transport me to a world beyond my suburban bedroom. I grew up in Pittsburgh before it was green and beautiful. Like the darkened riverfront lit by the coal fires of J & L Steel, my world view was bleak. I read to find a brighter place in other worlds, and I wanted to write books that could meet that bleakness and transcend it. In pursuit of that desire, I returned to school, earning the Master of Fine Arts in literary fiction from Bennington College Writing Seminars in 2000.My short fiction and poetry appeared in numerous literary journals. I received the Allen Tate Memorial Award for the Short Story and was a finalist for the William Faulkner Award for the Novel and for the Heekin Group Foundation Fellowship for the novel-in-progress. I also received Second Place, in the Writer's Digest Writing Competition for Literary Fiction.I began my love affair with yoga in the late 1980's, after a successful career in television broadcasting that garnered the documentaries I wrote and produced national and regional awards but did not alleviate my chronic depression. When I started practicing yoga daily, with supervision, I was able to titrate off medication and find joy in the world once again. As my practice deepened, I wrote for magazines like Yoga Journal and Yoga International and wrote the first feature article about yoga and depression called “Yoga the Natural Prozac”, which appeared on the cover of Yoga Journal in 1999. My own recovery led me to research and write books on yoga and mental health, and I became passionate about sharing what had helped me heal with others who suffered.In 2004, I founded the LifeForce Yoga® Healing Institute, which continues to train yoga teachers and health care providers in yoga practices appropriate in clinical and yoga therapy settings. I'm happy that the evidence-based yoga protocol for managing mood I developed is in use in health care settings throughout the world. This protocol is featured on audio-visual products, including the LifeForce Yoga series, an award-winning library of evidence-based yoga and meditation CDs and DVDs for mood management.I love yoga and continue to teach workshops and trainings, but a book by my dear yogi brother and friend Stephen Cope called The Great Work of Your Life, set me on a course to reclaim my dharma. I returned to writing fiction in 2016, and though I have written several other novels, TEMPLE DANCER is the first to be published.Amy's WebsiteSupport the show
The Los Angeles Dodgers once again scored only one run, once again on an Alex Freeland solo home run. Tyler Glasnow struggled with his command and four Padres walks came around to score, but without any offense, the Dodgers weren't going to win this game. LA now finds itself in the position of needing a win on Sunday to salvage one game in the series and pull back into a tie with San Diego, but they'll have their work cut out for them with Padres ace Nick Pivetta on the mound. Jeff Snider and Kevin Skinner are here to talk about another dumb, ugly loss for the Dodgers. Tube in all season long! Leave a voicemail or text the Friend of the Show hotline!

Send us a textThe ancient tradition of Il Palio in Siena showcases a complex system of strategic corruption, neighborhood rivalries, and high-stakes horse racing that has endured for centuries. This 90-second race around Siena's central piazza involves extensive bribery, intense negotiations, and centuries-old vendettas that make speed secondary to political maneuvering.• Horse assignments determined by lottery prevent wealthy neighborhoods from buying fastest horses but create opportunities for strategic corruption• Jockeys accept bribes up to €80,000 to impede rivals or assist allies, with reputation determining future employment• The "rincorsa" (starter horse) wields extraordinary power in determining when the race begins• Enforcement of bribe agreements relies on reputation, trust, and fear rather than formal contracts• Coming in second place is considered worse than finishing last, leading to public ridicule that can last generations• Neighborhood identities and rivalries date back to medieval times, with memories of betrayals lasting decadesBook o'da'week: Okay, it's a film.

In this message, Pastor Noel discusses the often-overlooked topic of singleness within the church, drawing insights from 1 Corinthians 7. He emphasizes that singleness, like marriage, is a gift from God, offering unique opportunities for undivided devotion to the Lord and gospel ministry. Noel challenges common misconceptions that view singleness as a lesser state or a "waiting room" for marriage. He encourages singles to leverage their flexibility for God's purposes while also addressing the temptations and pitfalls that can arise in this season of life.Subscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Download a copy of the Exodus JournalVisit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.comSubscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Visit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com

Dogs Are Smarter Than People: Writing Life, Marriage and Motivation
So, recently, Vitaliy Katsenelson, CFA, who is a writer and investor had a Substack post that really resonated with me.And by recently, I mean yesterday.Anyway, in it Vitaliy said that “Each Day Is a Separate Life.”You wake up and you are born. You go to sleep and that's the end of the day/life. You get it, right?This concept isn't new. It comes from Seneca, this ancient philosopher and thinker in the Roman Empire, 2,000 years ago, who was rather hyper focused on thinking about wealth even though he was one of the richest people of his time. And who knows? Seneca probably took it from someone else.Seneca was a thinker and a clerk and a politician and a writer. So, like a lot of us, he did a lot of things.What matters to us on the podcast today is what Vitaliy took away from Seneca's writings and that's the concept of time.He writes,“After reading Seneca, it is impossible not to want to retake control of the most important, irreplaceable gift you are given as a birthright – time. But how do you do this? I borrowed my practical solution from Seneca: ‘Begin at once to live and count each separate day as a separate life.' “‘Each separate day as a separate life.' What a brilliant idea. A life bookended by sunrise and sunset. A day is a perfect, meaningful measuring unit. I can look at each day and evaluate how I spent it. If I achieve mostly perfect days, then they'll spill into a perfect life. ”Every January most of us set New Year's resolutions. Though we don't think about it that way, we really treat each year as Seneca's separate life. Except that a year is so long that we forget about our New Year's resolutions by March. We writers (and other humans) waste a lot of time thinking about writing, procrastinating about writing, and doing things like cruising social media, that don't help us actually write.We only have a limited amount of time in each day. We waste a lot of it. “What man can you show me who places any value on his time, who reckons the worth of each day, who understands that he is dying daily? For we are mistaken when we look forward to death; the major portion of death has already passed. Whatever years lie behind us are in death's hands,” Seneca wrote. His advice according to Vitaliy, “Hold every hour in your grasp. Lay hold of today's task, and you will not need to depend so much upon tomorrow's. While we are postponing, life speeds by.” Think of each day that you write as a new life as a writer. If you spend that day, not writing, what does that mean? If this was your final day would you want to create? Would you want to share stories? Or would spend that last day arguing with other people in town about curb cuts and bad parking jobs?As Vitaliy writes, “The goal is not to change our activities but to change our state of mind as we carry out those activities. You don't want to stop thinking about or planning for tomorrow; instead, as you think about tomorrow, remember to appreciate today. Or as Seneca puts it, ‘Hurry up and live.'” Try it for a week maybe. Just one week commit to a couple of things:Live the day like it's your last Wake up in the morning thinking about what matters to you. Write something or create something on each day. It doesn't need to be finished. It doesn't need to be perfect.A lot of people ask me (Carrie) how I produce so much. How much? I've written over a million words for our daily newspaper this year. And that's just our newspaper, right? Well, secret number one is that I have a Shaun. But secret number two is that I expect to never have enough time to get all I want to get done out there.Prince was a little like this too, but um, much more genius.But try it for a hot second—or a week. It's the opposite of the slow it down and chill movement.Vitaliy mentions having a daily journal so that you can “examine our ‘separate life' at the end of each day.”He writes, '“Reviewing your day presents an opportunity to learn from your mistakes and correct them. For instance, today I debated politics with a friend for an hour. As I look at that hour, the time was completely wasted, and I won't get it back.”That journaling can really help you think about what matters and how you spend your time. It's a mindful moment. So, just think, maybe, about what you want your life (your days) to be about.DOG TIP FOR LIFERoutines can sometimes be the epitome of their lives. Make each day your best day. Get the cat food can. Take your walk. Look forward to all the things!RANDOM THOUGHT LINKLink to that AP articlePLACES TO SUBMIT THIS DECEMBER! THE DRABBLE HARVEST CONTEST[1 October 2024 through 31 December 2024]A "drabble" is defined as a short story containing exactly precisely no more and no fewer than 100 words. It has a title, which can be from 1 to 15 words-- but no more than 15. That's a drabble.You have to count each word. Hyphenated words, such as tete-a-tete, count as one word. Don't use your word count tool to count the words, because that tool will count an ellipsis ( . . . ) as three words, which really should not be counted at all. It will also count dashes ( - ) as words, which is wrong. So count each word by sight, not by tool.Our drabble contests have themes. For each contest, we will simply throw the theme out there.
