From Ellen

1/3/13
HI Virtual Salon Weekly Newsletter,
  • Here's a hot tip:  don't ever take the red-eye flight from Los Angeles!  I'm telling you, dahling.  I landed Wednesday morning 8:30, still not recovered at 2:30 pm on Thursday.  Also, the direct flight via Delta was cheaper than the one I took via Chicago on American.  
  • Malibu was warm, beautiful, and full of exciting learning... and I am happy to be back here, taking my morning walk on Lafayette Ave.  (article about the workshop in Articles section.)
  •  
  • Hugs to all, 
Ellen

LETTERS

 FROM Mark and Terri Newdow
(about my recent workshop in Malibu)

Dear Ellen,

Have a wonderful time!

Terry & Mark

(I really did!  my Alexander Technique is now way stronger.  Come to the free practice on Sundays at 3:45.  ellen)

 FROM:  Claire Rechnitzer (my Alexander Technique colleague)
...when I had lower back pain (years ago, a thing of the past now, hamsah hamsah hamsah (like "knock on wood")), it was always worse in the morning. I thought I should do a lie down as soon as I woke up - but my then teacher suggested doing one before getting in to bed at night, to go to sleep in a better coordinated condition. That really did help, as long as  i was not too tired and in danger of falling asleep on the floor. 

Also, if it hurts to stand straight - don't do it. Standing straight probably pinches a nerve, or aggravates an inflammation-

 FROM: Morris Williams


Ellen:

Do take that "cruise!."

I see that your site is becoming more activist (patriotic) based. GREAT!!!

Movie Review

Hi Neighbors. We went to see Hitchcock at the Esquire a couple nights ago and it was fantastic. A very well acted and interesting story. The movie takes a look at Hitchcock and his wife during the making of Psycho. 

Great behind the scenes info on the making of Psycho and a positive message about marriage.

 

  Poem for Winter
by Ellen Bierhorst

January 24, 1974

 

Winter

time for burrowing.

Time to be still

And watch the tracery of bare branches.

 

Stillness

Watching

And growing wise
