Yoga Off the Mat: I feel like I’m on fire—literally!! 🔥🔥 As I was working on my upcoming book “Bliss, Not Burnout”, I smelled something burning. Then I realized I had lit my workbook on fire with my “zen” candle🤦🏼♀️🤣! To add to the irony and synchrony, my publishing company is Ignite Press 😂
I’m excited to announce that we expect to launch in December—will keep you posted, and until then I’ll keep the fire burning!

Yoga Off the Mat: What a week! There’s been a lot of Energy swirling around, and it’s not just the autumn leaves! In my daily work, I have seen people who are sad, angry, confused, despondent, fearful, triumphant, relieved, hopeful, and many other feelings. What saddens and concerns me the most is when we stop listening to each other. Friendships are being lost. In this “land of the free and home of the brave” we are each entitled to our own opinions and beliefs. Intelligent people voted for opposing candidates. Friends and family voted for opposing candidates. Instead of arguing and trying to change the way someone else thinks, how could it be different if we listened instead? When we’re talking, we’re not listening. What if we simply said,”I see where you’re coming from, and I also see things differently.” My guess is that we might find some common ground, clearer understanding/appreciation, and space to be able to collaborate and move forward. Abe Lincoln said “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Let’s argue less and listen more😌 ... See MoreSee Less

Perfect timing; thank you!🙂
Yoga Off the Mat: I used to think that “biggering” myself (a la Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax”) meant that I’d get busier and busier, and that’s not something I want or need. It was easy to feel stuck while fearing overwhelm, failure, and losing control of life. Then I learned that “bigger” does not equal “busier” when we’re clear about what we want and where we’re going. In a vast sky, the stars are clear when the clouds drift away. With clarity, lots of distractions fall away and more time, energy, and resources are available for our true passions. What’s been holding you back from having and being what/whom you want? 🤔 ... See MoreSee Less

Yoga Off the Mat Monday: everyone knows what “IT” means, right? “Information Technology,” of course. And in Yoga, it also stands for “Integration and Transition,” the time between yoga poses where you pause to Breathe, Release, Feel, Observe, and Accept whatever exists in that time and space before moving on to the next pose/sequence. Talking over the weekend with some women I hadn’t seen in awhile, there was a common thread of rushing from one thing to the next without being truly present and mindful. It occurred to me that is exactly what IT is all about! So how do we practice? By Breathing, Feeling, Observing, even if for a few moments. Hiking in nature is one thing that helps me to do just that. How to you practice IT?🤔😊😌 ... See MoreSee Less

Yoga Off the Mat: sometimes life can feel daunting, like an uphill rock scramble. But with a pause for reflection, you can see the toe holds and finger grabs to make your way, step by step, bit by bit. (And it helps to know someone’s got your back😉💗) Hang in there, you’re stronger and more capable than you think! ... See MoreSee Less

Yoga Off the Mat: I have a teenager in the house again!😯 Our best boy Nemo turns 13 today. I can’t believe how time flies and how full life has been since he became part of our family🥰 He is such a beautiful example of unconditional love ❤️ Being with him, I’m reminded to smell the blossoms in springtime, to feel the sun on my face in summer, to listen to the sounds of crickets chirping and leaves crunching in fall, and to see the snow sparkling in winter😌 Happy Birthday, beautiful being😍🥳🐶 ...
