How do we Be with the weeping of the world? How do we hold it and lay it down to rest? How do we rock it and soothe it and love it? How do we know what to do . . . next? How do we Be with the weeping of the world? How do […]

I’m sitting in a room the size of an airplane hangar watching a bunch of kids flip, flop, tumble, swing, and generally defy gravity. eh. More so work with it. I’m at my 9 year old’s gymnastics practice. And it’s awesome watching bodies move in every which way. This place can look a bit like Olympics […]

I have no idea how to start this. The competing voices in my head have many opinions, “Write about why you haven’t written (again) in so long!” “No! Write something cute and quippy!” “No! Write how you’re feeling in your body right now!” “No! Write about filming your little chai time practices!” Alright, alright. I hear you all. You’ve got […]

I did a thing!!! A thing that terrified the guts out of me. (Figuratively only, thank goodness.) I wrote a blog for my accrediting group, the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT). They asked me to do it, and I actually did it. Well, after some fun internal mental gymnastics above, below and through my doubt, I did it. (You should […]

I need to take a minute to commend myself. Why, may you ask? (Uh… what excuse can I use here?) Because it was my birthday last week. Because it’s the first week of a New Year. And because I want to. Now, I shall tell you the ways that I wish to commend myself. (Prepare […]

As winter greets us with her depth of darkness, so does the light peek through stars of wonder. My wish for you this holiday is to feel the softness of something you touch, the steam of something you sip, the balm of something you hear, the warmth of someone you love. Sending kindness and mercy […]

The 500+ promotional emails I’ve received since Thanksgiving reflect the noise of the world. (And the noise in my mind. And body. And heart.) Delete All is a super helpful and gratifying feature in my email. Ah, instant S          P           A           C      […]

Boo. I’m still here. For which I’m immensely grateful. Moving on to related news… I’m not sure about you, but I can’t quite give the year of 2021 a score of “10, PERFECT, FLAWLESS!!!!!!!!!” as if I were watching Michelle Kwan own the ice 20 years ago. Nope. It’s felt pretty sucky for me. And yeah, […]

I wrote to you last on August 12th. Today is September 15th. That’s a long time. Way longer than I’ve ever laid dormant in 3 1/2 years of writing here. (If you’re in need of a back-up-the-theme musical interlude, try “There’s a First Time for Everything” by Little Texas. An “eh” classic country tune that I definitely […]

Trust. Trust is a place that my life becomes smooth and stable. Steadiness emerges when I trust. Trust the moment. Trust another. Trust myself. When I can do this, trust whatever is showing up, whoever is showing up, and trust myself to be with however it unfolds, then I feel like I can handle the […]
