It really feels that way sometimes. I spend so much time doing self promotion, when I should be promoting others so that they might promote me in return. That way everyone's a winner! :P

Thanks, Paul! I'm working on this one, too. It's just so hard to get over yourself, isn't it?

Excellent post Crystal! I really enjoyed it. I think the key is humility. We live in a world filled with narcissism. I myself am guilty of it. I completely agree that we need to learn how to truly care for and put others before us and in return ...

It’s amazing how your view of things can change over time. When I was first introduced to yoga in 1996, all I could see was a pud form of exercise. I was attracted to it and enjoyed it, but I didn’t really appreciate its potential, probably becaus...

Genie Goykhberg commented on Crystal Hammon's blog post 'Vive la difference: How anatomy can (and should) influence your yoga practice on and off the mat.'
You are right, Crystal! Your writing reminded me my 8th grade experience. We had an assignment for a creative writing and I got "B" - witch was BAD as I was "A" student and I've done good enough work on that essay. Friend of mine, who could never ...

Five things to love about yoga

It’s amazing how your view of things can change over time. When I was first introduced to yoga in 1996, all I could see was a pud form of exercise. I was attracted to it and enjoyed it, but I didn’t really appreciate its potential, probably because I wasn’t completely ready for it. I wish I had been. Life could have been better a lot sooner. This realization has made me feel obligated to share what little I know about yoga with others, in hopes they’ll discover its potential, too. Here’s what I’… Continue

How to love a Kindle reader

My Kindle was a birthday present I gave myself last year after Oprah plugged it on her show. I don’t watch Oprah, but Amazon was giving a $50 discount to anyone who used the Oprah coupon code. The discount was enough to reel me in.

As it approaches its first birthday in my personal library, the… Continue

Living a greener lifestyle

People who cook outside and go to the bathroom inside baffled my grandfather. He had a contrarian’s view on many things, including progress: when you’ve come so far that you have to go out of the way to seem natural, something’s wrong, he figured.

I can’t think about the green movement without wondering where he’d stand if he were alive today. As a lifelong farmer and outdoorsman who grew his own food and, yes, killed his own meat, would he be glad to see people interested in protecting the ear… Continue

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
