This morning, I was reflecting on how I got lost, how I forgot who I am. So I thought, I would share. Maybe you will find this helpful as you continue on your journey to self-awareness, peace and joy. Shedding my masks: I lost me when I stepped into the perceived archetype of a mom and wife. I put it on like a piece of clothing and wore it completely. And even though I like to wear Continue Reading
Learning to Love and Be Loved
The need and desire to love and be loved is so powerful. It works on the undercurrents of spirit. Too often we morph into an image of ourselves that we deem to be lovable, acceptable, worthy of the love we crave. Don’t get me wrong; this presentable image is part of you, but it is NOT the Whole of you, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The WHOLE (Wondrous, Holy, Omnipotent, Loving Continue Reading
The Power of Intentions
I was reflecting this morning on how I wanted to begin anew in 2018, and wanted to share a practice that I will be embracing: Create an intention every day. Intentions are not goals or phrases to control behavior. They don't need to be clever or fancy. Intentions are a means for directing the mind and energy in your life.

But yoga is just not a pill you take when you are feeling crazy; it’s also not something you just do to accomplish a goal; and although these are both valid reasons for going to a yoga class, it is way more. Yoga is a spiritual practice designed to discharge negative Continue Reading

Fear is not a positive motivator for positive change. Positive change comes from a perspective of self-love. “I love myself and want more joy, more presence, more peace in my life.” Now that is a motivator! Suffering definitely leads to change – for sure. When suffering becomes too great, change is inevitable. And, the depth of suffering can propel a soul and inspire an individual to move Continue Reading
“Wake Up Calls”
A wake-up call is any energetic event prompting you from one state of consciousness to another. Have you ever been driving late at night and you are so drowsy your eyelids feel like they gained 5 lbs., and all the sudden you get a bolt of energy. Or you are in a rush in the morning on your way to school or work, and a deer, fox, squirrel or other animal darts in front of your car so you slam Continue Reading
How Emotions Work: Spring Cleaning with Yoga!
When we are in love or in a state of love, all is well. Harmony, abundance and joy exude from our pores. Our sensate memory of pain, suffering and loss recede into the background of our consciousness. They seem to magically fade away at least for a period of time. And, although they may still occupy an apartment in our resident temple, they are not blocking off the entrance doorway. The same Continue Reading
