Gabriella’s Tree

There once was a mythical tree called “The Maestro” that stood tall in the rainforests above Orotina in Costa Rica.  The legend goes that on only the rarest of occasions this special tree would speak to someone making their way through the rainforest.  One day, a girl named Gabriella decided she would enter the rainforest […]

Rio Machuca

There is a mystical river that runs through the rainforest above San Mateo in Costa Rica; a spiritual portal that whispers to those that are silent long enough to hear her call.  To say that this river is enchanting is an understatement which is a malfeasance to her deific beauty.  The river is called Rio […]

The Tico Way

The Howler Monkeys growl—it’s a low guttural roar that makes it feel like there is a beast in the jungle just waiting to pounce on the next unsuspecting, innocent person that makes their way into the trees and shrubs that dot the lush land.  This is Costa Rica.  The mornings start early here; 5 am […]

Yes & Yoga, Season 2!

Sat Nam from Costa Rica.  Adi and I are excited to announce the premiere of Season 2 of Yes & Yoga on Amazon Prime Video!  The last 18 months have been transformational in ways that we could have never expected.  We wanted to update everyone on what’s transpired during this time. It took us a […]

Nonnie Bear

Adi’s grandmother passed away peacefully on Thursday evening.  Doris Lee Cannon Carter took her last deep breath and ascended into higher consciousness leaving a void that will be difficult to fill.  She was, without question, one of a kind.  She was the rock of the family, the drill instructor, “The Boss” and the single most […]

So, This Is Happiness…

I was talking with a dear friend recently and he asked what I have been doing these last few months.  I mentioned that I am starting a new chapter in my life and leaving my old life behind. “I am putting more of my energy into Yes & Yoga and I am transitioning out of […]

Kitties Galore

“I have lived with several zen masters—all of them cats.” —Eckhart Tolle When Adi and I returned to Mansfield after spending last summer and fall in Galveston we made a deal—at least I thought we made a deal; no cats in the house. “I will move back to your family’s land, but I really don’t […]

Endings (Part Eight)…

Endings, by their very nature, allow us the opportunity to reflect.  What once served us now fades into the background for new opportunities to emerge.  Oftentimes, this can feel stressful and uncertain.  When the comfort of the past transmutes into the excitement of a new tomorrow hope becomes the catalyst to keep us moving forward.  […]

Heavily Meditated

The following is an excerpt from my newest book, Heavily Meditated, on the history and power of the breath.  The book is due out in the summer of 2021. “The breath is the surest way to reclaim your power. Through the breath we find the essence of our true potentiality.”  When fear grips us, the […]

Texas Bluebonnets

The Texas Bluebonnet is somewhat of a rite of passage in the Lone Star State.  Every spring, people from all around take long drives through the Hill Country to gaze at these beautiful flowers that are sprinkled along highways throughout the state.  It’s not unusual to find cars stopped on the shoulder of the road […]
