Bring Your Intentions to Life

Better with Age

How to embrace the changes that come with a life long-lived. I know you don’t want to hear this, but there is something we are all doing, right now, no matter what we are doing.  We are all AGING.  I decided to look up some definitions of aging and here are 3, in order of […]

What a Turtle Can Teach You

I just returned from 2 glorious retreat weeks on the Galapagos Islands. I am basking in the memories and the pure joy of being surrounded by nature and beauty and learning about how the wildlife there evolves and thrives.

March On

Seasons of Change My very favorite silver lining of the pandemic has been teaching the streaming Tuesday/Thursday Sunrise Flow class. It started as a test, and then became a community. It created a sense of routine during a tumultuous start, and a touchstone for the day. We woke up, logged on, and got grounded together.…

Fall into Resilience

Mindfulness as the seasons change We have just 2 more months of this “crazy” year. Another crazy year after the first stunning year of living in pandemic. I remember, early on, trying to think of new ways to describe the turmoil of life with COVID-19. Over the past 20 months, I have used words and…

Enough is as good as a Feast

Why a little mindfulness goes a long way. I have been teaching shorter classes these days.  My own practices, as well, range from 15 to 60 minutes, usually clocking in at around 45 minutes. That’s a lot different than the pre-Zoom days of 75-minute practices.  Now, I love a long, luxurious practice where you can…
