Elizabeth Carls
Minneapolis, MN
Art and Yoga, mostly.
Interests: I'm living a creative life in Minneapolis, MN; doing my best to appreciate the beautiful useful things.
I keep a visual journal, make a drawing most every day, collage, paint, print, play with words, and take tons of photographs. There is not an art supply out there safe from my curiosity and I hoard piles of paper.
I have been known to swoon over a well chosen word, and fall deeply in love with eloquence. I have an insatiable appetite for a well told story, I read like a maniac, and hear poetry when I eavesdrop.
I practice yoga and I practice peace. I believe in kindness and try hard to never be an asshole. I'm currently teaching yoga at several studios in Minneapolis.

TED Talks: My Personal Play List
I don't have TV in my house. Or more specifically, I have a TV, but no service to it. I get Netflix. And I watch TED Talks. On those nights when my day has made me cross-eyed and I can only come home and sit still, I watch TED Talks.... Continue reading

Picking a Favorite
My favorite words today are actually my favorite words from my favorite book of 2012: "Alone has always felt like an actual place to me, as if it weren't a state of being, but rather a room where I could retreat to be who I really was." Wild by Cheryl... Continue reading

Most of my days have a lot of words. I read a ton. I listen. I write, although not often enough. And still, on most days I have clear favorites. The words that linger, the ones I carry around for days, sometimes longer. They are the words I often share... Continue reading
