Check out my second blog on the Huffington Post. The words of my precious teacher, Gelek Rimpoche, once again helped us figure things out. If you have a chance to read the blog post, please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thanks!

We are so honored. An excerpt of a piece Dave and I wrote for The Shambhala Sun has been included in the current issue. The section is called For 30 Years the Best of Buddhism in America: Meditation and our bit is called “Not Too Tight, Not Too Loose.” Check it out, page 67. Some of others included are Chogyam Trungpa Rimpoche, Tulku Tondup, Sharon Salburg, and Thich Nhat Hanh. As I said, we are so honored.
As of yesterday I am signed with Amy Hertz at Dutton for my next book. My great agent, Stephanie Tade, worked hard to get me a good deal with the right person and I was very fortunate to have several excellent offers. I am happy to be back with Amy, who was also the editor for Yoga Body Buddha Mind. The new book is not about yoga, stay tuned for more details.
In the meantime, I was invited to be on a panel discussion at a very well attended book signing at Barnes and Noble on Monday. It was a new book called Be the Change by Ed and Deb Shapiro. I was a contributor to the book and sat on the panel between Robert Thurman and Andrew Cohen, along with Ellen Burstyn, Linus from Law & Order and Mark Matousek. And Ed and Deb, of course. It was quite a lively evening!
In addition to the Cyndisphere, which journals my travels and offers some yoga teaching, I have started another new blog called Yoga Body Buddha Mind. It is sponsored by the excellent Beliefnet.com. It will offer tips for how to find yoga (integration) and Buddha (wakefulness) in every day life. Today was my first entry. Check it out at

As you know, I am all the time writing magazine articles and next year, I’ll even be doing a monthly beginner’s column for YJ. But the piece called Gray Pride that came out in the September issue of YJ has gotten more feedback than anything else I’ve ever written. All positive! I really wanted to do a longer piece but YJ only gave me a little space and I guess it was enough to touch a chord. This letter to the editor was published in YJ recently:
“Cyndi Lee’s words in Gray Pride really rang true, as my peers, students friends and I are all going gray. Thank you for your honesty and support. I pray that this gives more women and girls the courage to explore themselves more naturally and authentically.”
Thanks! Anybody else have a comment about this topic?
