October has been going by quick! I’m in the middle of the happiness project, and I have some work to do to accomplish everything I’ve set out to do. I have total faith I can do it all though. I think for the first time I have given myself a realistic time frame and an actual plan of action. It’s… View Post
Are you happy doing what you do every day? I’m not talking about working in your dream job. I’m wondering if you find a way to love everyday no matter what. I never know whether I should say yes or no. I have a hard time making decisions, but I’ve gotten better. All growing up I was taught to never give… View Post
It’s the first Monday in October, so I thought this was a good day to start the Happiness Project. I know you’re thinking… October? That’s a weird month to start. Why not January? Why does January have to be when everyone makes their resolutions? I want to start now, so I should follow that! If I wait, I might lose… View Post
It’s really amazing to see how much my yoga practice has helped me through my recovery. If you’re generally healthy like me, the differences aren’t noticeable right away. Don’t get me wrong, the changes are dramatic, but composed of small changes over a long period of time. It’s been pretty amazing to go through a surgery and really experience how… View Post
Earlier this week, I felt like the world was closing in on me. I’m working on A LOT of projects, and everyone needed my attention. I don’t ask a lot, and I’m pretty giving, but the truth is – my “me” time is important. But, that’s my responsibility. I took on a million projects at once, so of course people expect me to… View Post
For the last Spiritual Book Club meeting, we read Awake in the World by Michael Stone. It was my second time reading it, and it was liberating to get back in touch with his teachings. Sometimes when I’m practicing yoga, and watching yogis on social media, I feel like I’m not as spiritual as I should be. I see so many quotes… View Post
It’s been awhile since we’ve talked. It’s not you. It’s me. I’ve been on a bit of a sabbatical longer than I’ve wanted, but I can see now it’s something I needed. Have you ever just had so much on your plate that you don’t know where to start, so you just decided to not do any of it? Then,… View Post
It had been a few years since I had really gone to the doctor, had a physical, and routine blood work, but it was time. I went into the lab to do my blood test, and the very next morning I get a call from my doctor telling me I need to go to the hospital. I’ve always been a… View Post
Sometimes I get questions about how to become more flexible. How do I open my hamstrings, so that I can touch my toes? How do get my leg behind my head? How can I deepen my backbends? First I want to say that I’ve done all of those things. Two of the most difficult postures for me are Supta Kurmasana,… View Post
I recently created a spiritual book club in the city where I live. I did this for a few reasons. Since I left my job, my whole world has been flipped around, and filled with extreme highs and lows. I’ve had to break down walls, own my stories, and fall a lot while building a new foundation. It’s the best… View Post
