toes with the vinaigrette; season with salt and pepper. Mound the salad onto plates and serve.

If bulgur or couscous or rice or potatoes are too heavy for this dish, use a bed of lettuce. The vinaigrette works nicely over arugula or romaine.

Our theme for March at Ocean Bliss Yoga is “surrender.” In this spirit, I invite you to try something. Take a deep breath in and hold it.

Eventually you will have to let go. Life requires an exhale for each inhale. This natural balancing cycle of filling up and emptying out is necessary in all areas of life. It is impossible to gain something new if you don’t have space for it.

In a culture obsessed with adding more, we seldom stop to think about what we can release. Consider the times you’ve been discontent.

Does your mind go to what it needs in order to achieve happiness, or does it honestly look at your life and recognize what in your routine, patterns, relationships, schedule, or environment is holding you back from feeling deeply happy and centered? Perhaps we are quicker to try adding things in for life improvement because letting go, especially of something that we’ve been holding onto for a while, can feel really scary and hard. Over time, our relationships, careers, homes, and habits become part of our identity. When a deep-seated knowing tells us that an aspect of our life is no longer serving us, it is the ego that grips on and creates the inner struggle that can often be experienced before ultimately surrendering.

What else makes the idea of letting go feel so scary?

On her podcast, Krista Williams says, “When letting go, we focus so much on the difficulty of the conversation. The conversation with our boss to quit, the conversation with our partner to leave, the conversation with our friend to establish boundaries, and not the feeling of how good it feels after you choose yourself, after you make space, after you trust your intuition and speak your truth. In my life, the hardest conversations and decisions that I’ve ever made have led me to greater self-love than any self-care practice in the world.”

For me, Krista’s words provide an instantaneous shift in perspective. I can immediately remove some of the fear of surrendering by focusing not on the act of letting go, but rather on how expanded I will feel after releasing my grip. Also, if my surrender involves confrontation, I can remind myself that even if the other person is disappointed in the moment, my decision to let go is for the greater good of all parties involved. Staying so that I don’t hurt someone’s feelings is not serving them or me.

It is also important to recognize that anything we refuse to release has the potential to govern our future. Our decisions have real consequences! I don’t say this to provoke fear, but it is true. Letting go can be a process, and that’s ok. Awareness is always the first step, and it is a big one. The best we can do is honor our process, and like my good friend, mentor, and colleague Helen Kilgallen said, “If you can’t let go, just let be.”

This theme deserves so much more than a 550-word article, but for now I invite you to start to think about some smaller ways that you can let go to create space in your life and mind, and practice for surrendering the bigger things.

Dear Enchantress,

I'm 38 years old and I hate dating. I wish I were better at it. I wish I could have fun. I always feel like I'm interviewing men, like I'm measuring up to something that I think they want, so I do the same to them. I'm doing the best I can. I dress up, I feel good, I think I look good, and I'm tired and frustrated after every date. I meet them on video when we connect and it seems OK, but mostly every time we are just planning our times and dates and locations together. I feel hopeless, and I really want to be in a relationship. I ask nice questions, I've read so many books and even when I go on second or third

By Shane Kulman

dates, we are sharing stories that I've already shared with them, and I'm like, how could that be? We're already bored and telling each other the same things we've already said???!?!?! Please help.

Dear Boring Betty, Ugh, I feel for you. As I read this, I feel the sense of dread you must have, and the exhaustion of getting your hopes up and then feeling dropped into the depths of delusion. OK, let's lighten up this situation! You can do it. I help so many women that have done it! And I'll also say, it takes time, practice, and PLAY! You are acting out of pressure, maybe it's pressure you are putting on yourself, or pressure that people have put on you. It’s YUCK coming from that place, and putting that on another person will deflate any form of connection or spirit. It's a spirit squasher, a divine deflator, a BUZZ KILL. You can set your intentions, and you can have your hopes, and that's it, then show up and be. Stop DOING, stop pressing and stop interviewing. Overshare what is happening for you in the moment with this person. And if you are getting ready for this date, in a logical way, stop that. Instead, when you are getting ready, turn up your music, put on your party shirt and plan on having fun, NO MATTER WHAT.

Learning to turn yourself on is the best skill. You choose the place or the type of place, make it convenient for you, and don't spend too much time. Plan something that YOU LOVE afterwards, so you don't let the time drone on. You are a Queen, and you direct your life. Stay just as long as you genuinely want to, and it's OK to say, "no, thank you" for a second date if you're just not feeling it!

You can turn this around, and when you feel yourself turning “interviewer” on the person sitting in front of you, tell him that! Tell him so that you can stop it. He may find it funny, or charming, and the best-case scenario, he will find it amazing that you shared it, and POOF, there is the connection and relaxation that always comes right after the spark of connection! Delight yourself Sister, you got this!

Answer:

86 (40 ÷ 1/2 = 80, 80+6 = 86) display your cell number on the dashboard. This has been well received, as it reduces the stress level for the driver of the "blocked" car. As the TV commercial says "Consideration: Pass it On.” Hang in there, Sean McVeigh, one can only hope there are some "double parking" converts out there.

More Road Rage

Dear Editor:

Unsafe Shopping

Dear Editor:

Once again, both entrances/exits to the Key Food shopping plaza are getting dangerous. There are metal pieces missing from the CVS side and the side where Popeye’s chicken is…Also, close to where the adult center is located, there are several large holes in the concrete that are becoming craters!

Could the Rockaway Times look into contacting the owners of this development before someone gets injured? Thank you.

Road Rage

Dear Editor:

Road Rage (In response to McVeighing In: Road Rage) Sean McVeigh, I feel your pain every time I drive through "that crinkled tube of toothpaste" aka B.129th St. The sense of entitlement of the "double parkers" who stay in their cars but refuse to move to an open area when it becomes available is incredulous. For the "double parkers" who must leave their cars, why not try what I do, and

(In response to McVeighing In: Road Rage) Loved your article in the March 9 Rock Times and felt a need to add: what about the one who double parks adjacent to an already double parked car on 129th? Talk about no common sense and backed up traffic with nowhere to go.

Also, I was thinking "Sean's Shore & More" when you went with McVeighing In. Good Luck with the Times and keep up the good work.
