We can only show up for others if we've shown up for ourselves first. Our nervous systems tell other people how much we can handle. Our relationship with us informs our relationships with everyone else. Yoga for being human this afternoon @gatherencinitas

188 pages, 110 photos, 20 stories, 5 years, thousands spent, thousands still to print and ship, and one very tired me. I never set out to write a book like this. Things just kept happening and changing and pushing me in new directions, my interests shifted and merged and here I am. Like my little boy, this book has always flourished when I listened and followed its lead. It has a life of its own. I will guide it a few more steps down the path and then let it go, like we have to do with anything we are ever privileged to touch, create, or love. ___________________ #TheGriefPractice

I've poured a whole lot of love and time into this companion website for The Grief Practice book (check it out at www.TheGriefPractice.com). A virtual space for us to gather, talk story together, practice together, and feel a little more accompanied in what can be a terribly isolating experience of grief. . Books that are pre-ordered will be mailed in March, hand-numbered from the first printing, and sent with an extra dose of love from me. . I've come this far with a whole lot of help from some very generous humans. I'm still a long way from my project goal and can use all the help possible. Here's how you can help: 🌿Contribute on Indiegogo (link in profile) 🌿Share www.TheGriefPractice.com website with someone you know. 🌿Share the Indiegogo page (link in profile) with someone you know. 🌿Share your story of grief through the website. . thank-you-I-love-you-onward-we-go 🙏Mo ______________________ #griefisapractice #healingisanart #griefinthebody #grief #yogaforgrief #traumainformedyoga #sandiego #carlsbad #encinitas #yoga

someday soon I will open the windows to my heart and air out my sorrow (and your sorrows, the ones you share with me through your words or your tears or your silence) . I will breathe in the deepest breath I've taken in forever and exhale the tears I never cried for you and for me . I will let out what can never be let go (so it can breathe and shout and weep and be heard and be seen) . someday soon I will open the window to my heart and air out our sorrows . the ones that defy reason and logic and fixing and dare hope to land . and when it does I will open the windows to my heart and let in its song for you and for me and for everything we ever lost and never named or mourned or acknowledged or healed . and that is how I will come home to my own soul through the windows to my heart

oh hi! I've been hiding out under a rock the last couple weeks pushing through the final stages of the book. nothing like stepping back from social media for a week or two to refresh and refocus. and it's nice to resurface with a new perspective and more clarity on what I want to invite in in this new year. you too? awesome! xox #smileyfacerock

when you and I meet at the corner of life and death and neither of us can pretend anymore that we have the answers or know the way or aren't afraid I'll sit with you there and you'll sit with me perfectly imperfect as we always were and always tried to act our way out of tried to play the victim or the hero instead of the human that we are maybe it will be terrifying or maybe it will be a relief to be so honest to be so free to be so you to be so me
