"Second Breakfast" next to the decorative drawing of a teacup

Here's a decorative mug, drawn by Jennifer. Have a cup of tea.

Welcome to my Blog

I'm glad you've dropped in. Second Breakfast is where I like to explore ideas about yoga, movement, breathing, design, books, and me.

I tend to take in food like I take in information in small, digestible bits, even eating breakfast in two or three parts. Second Breakfast is something small to read, something to feed the brain or the soul, and goes well with a cup of tea.

Warmly,
Jennifer
