Gurunista Gayhle

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Last January, I met yoga teacher and actress Diane Hudock in LA. She told me about her hilarious idea to make a yoga comedy and I told her I knew just the person to help her out. My husband is a writer and director, and although he had never dabbled in the world of comedy, I knew he'd be perfect. Five months later, Diane came to Portland and we filmed the first episode of Gurunista Gayhle. With no budget to work with, it was a challenge to say the least, but we were so happy with the end result and the response from the viewers that we decided we had to do more! We played around with ideas about how to make the dream a reality and decided to do a Kickstarter campaign. With your help, we plan to make two more episodes. We have reached the halfway mark, but still have more than $1,400 to go with only four days left to do it!

We (Diane, Keith and I) are asking for your help and support. Please take a moment to watch the first episode if you haven't already, and check out Diane's video as well as read about what we're doing. Any amount, large or small, will help this project get made. Thanks for looking!

trail running


Taken this afternoon on my muddy, rainy, glorious run.
10 reasons why I'm in love with trail running right now:

  • I love being in the forest.
  • It's nearly impossible to think about anything other than RIGHT NOW when you're dodging roots, rocks and mud holes. 
  • It's not boring.
  • It feels better than running on cement, and definitely better than running on a treadmill.
  • I don't have to dodge cars, or worry about being hit by one.
  • I get to connect with nature and recharge.
  • No stopping at stop lights or signs.
  • Great for interval training with so many hills.
  • It makes me feel like a superhero. 
  • I look forward to it.
