“po(i)sed” as a name hasn’t been feeling right lately. And not just because my boyfriend recently pointed out that poise is an adult diaper brand.

Sometimes I feel poised, like at my Bat Mitzvah. (Yes like 15 years ago. I distinctly remember receiving the compliment of seeming poised up there on the bima at Temple Sinai, reading my Haftorah.) But much of the time, for example when I repeatedly walk into our coffee table, I feel like a klutz. And a bit embarrassed. And certainly not poised.

Enter: “a muse bouche” (uh-MYUZ-boosh).

So allow me to serve up some big ideas on mindful living in small, inspirational bytes ;)

P.S. It’s only natural that my blog get a name change. My name was changed TWICE on my birth certificate. So I guess I do take after my parents after all.
