Abundance: a very large quantity of something. My 3-year-old self embodied abundance, gratitude, and being enough. What happened along the way? This weekend in classes we explored a mindset of abundance, coming from from a place of enough rather than a place of scarcity. We talked about our patterns and stories, the culture of “you …

New Beginnings & Gratitude
“Beginning well or beginning poorly, what is important is simply to begin. . . . It is always hard to believe that the courageous step is so close to us, that it is closer than we ever could imagine, that in fact, we already know what it is, and that step is simpler, more radical …
You Are More Than One “Right” Feeling
“Tell me, what is it you plan do dowith your one wild and precious life?” (Mary Oliver) As life shifts and experiences are lived, I return to this question. Trusting and wondering at the same time. From a micro and macro view of this life, of this world, there are many reasons to hold opposites—joy/sorrow, …
Is it worth it?
This is a question I’ve been asking myself a lot the last few weeks. When life throws you opportunities for perspective, for reflection and introspection, things that seemed important and vital lose their grip. It’s healthy to pause and reassess, re-calibrate to ask if HOW we are living measures up to WHY we are living. …
Let’s get comfortable with PRACTICE!
If you want to shift a behavior, practice. If you want to grow in skill, practice. If you want to find stillness and space, practice. If you want to grow, practice.

Minutes to hours. Hours to days. Days to weeks. Weeks to months to years. Seasons. Relationships. Homes. Jobs. Identity. Child to teen to adult. Every cell in our bodies. How we see ourselves. . . .

Let’s talk about stretching . . .
Our bodies are a wonderful point of entry to awareness, to mindfulness. In our Western culture we tend to live in our heads, moving from one moment to the next on autopilot. I like to say we are so much more than brains on sticks, and if we open ourselves to the possibility, the knowledge …
Health: A Loaded Word
I’ve been thinking a lot about “health” and what a loaded term this can be. This view is what I saw when opening my eyes after savasana today, at home nursing migraine pain and all it’s accompanied joys. Health feels a little more elusive in this moment. Health is something personal but also ranges on …
Health: The Possibilities
Heath, and whatever that means to you, is a journey without destination. It is a process where we tackle one obstacle, challenge, or something we’d like to change, only to prepare ourselves for another—an aspect of health maybe we weren’t ready or prepared to face head on before. Learning to be strong in body can …
