On Facebook: Andrew Moore: How nice to see Linda on elephant journal! I remember running into her on campus at UT Austin all the time in the 90s. I think it was her "yellow" year - she encouraged me to move to the northeast and live at Karme Choling - Linda had lived at Zen Mountain Monastery for a while and told me "It's a good place, you can *meditate* all you want." Just the way she said the word "meditate," it held so much possibility. Thank you Linda! GreenBeans: Art is everywhere...you just have to stop and smell the brushstrokes!! ♥ Rachel Znerold; @Andrew- She is so amazing, right!? That's wonderful you were able to know her and be influenced by her, too! @GreenBeans- Yes it is!

On Facebook: Danielle Marsden: I did that once at the intsigation of my dance teacher, but I would change the colour after 1 week,Yellow was really embarrassing. Rachel Znerold: How interesting! So fascinating how we react to different colors...it sounds like you had a really strong experience with yellow. Yellow corresponds to our 3rd Chakra- solar plexus, and it relates to our personal power/ego/fulfillment. Wearing yellow is said to bring about wisdom, joy, creativity, and optimism.

On Facebook: Jeremy Teresa Lewis: Thanks love! I feel like I should go talk to Linda about discipline...she seems to be an absolute master of self-discipline in art as life. Jeremy Teresa Lewis: Does she have pictures, or did she document in some other way her 7 years of daily monochromatic wardrobing? Do you know anything more about that from talking to her? Rachel Znerold: Yes, Jeremy!! You should see if she would do a phone session with you...I bet she would. I believe during the entire first seven years, she only had ONE photo taken of herself. I will send her an e-mail for you and ask if she has any films or written documentation about it. Great question! xo

Thank you for this. I could really relate to the thoughtful and compassion responses to the questions. I'm not yet a vegan, but I have transitioned to only eating local, farm-raised meat and no dairy. I guess I am one of the "Willfully ignorant," but I do try. Baby steps, I guess. Thanks for the encouragement!

So beautiful...and sad. I just forwarded it on to my dad, who spent 40 years as a Forest Ranger, seeking to protect the forests, and change people's ideas about how we use and care for the land. Thank you for sharing!

Excellent. This is so right on in so many ways! Thanks for the laugh:-) And while I love hearing beautiful music while I practice, my biggest yoga pet peeve is when the teacher plays painfully outdated music (ehhhh...Celine Dion?! Really?) or when they think they are being funny or ironic with their tunes. (Who let the dogs out?! REALLY?) I can't help but fixate on it the entire class!

Thank you so much for this! My beautiful goddaughter was birthed at home, and her mom and dad still rave about the experience...years later. Although I'm still a few years away from this question, myself, I'm already getting nervous looks from my family when I mention the possibility. Very cool of you to share. xo

Diana- you have always been an amazing inspiration...you fearlessly pursue your dreams and remain honest, loving and open through it all. Thank you so much for sharing...and as someone who used to wait tables with you (and I'm not ruling it out in the future...in fact, I really miss it sometimes!!), I can say you are really a wonderful server and you bring such light to any place you step foot in. Much love to you!!!
