Mindful Monday No. 7
The best views are often from rooms with mountains for walls, pine needle floors, and blue sky ceilings.We're not always so comfortable here, in this room. It doesn't feel so safe or it feels a little exposed or it is all just a tad too raw.Perhaps because it is reflecting back to us a reality … Continue reading Mindful Monday No. 7
Uneven Ground
It always amazes me how the practice of yoga so often parallels life. When things are moving too fast for my liking, it seems exactly like a Vinyasa flow. And I do exactly what I would do in my practice. Keep focused on what's right in front of me because thinking about how I need … Continue reading Uneven Ground

Nothing to Lose
The last few weeks I've been doing a little experiment.I've been smiling at everyone I pass. Walking the dog, riding my bike, getting the mail, in line at the grocery store, at the gas station... you get the idea.I wanted to see how people would react. What I found is that it's a rare person … Continue reading Nothing to Lose
Mindful Monday No. 4
There's moments, weeks, sometimes even years when the current of life shifts in your favor. The wind is at your back, all the lights are green, all the doors are open, the path is clear... life is good. This is often a result of us giving all we've got, refilling, refueling, reenergizing, letting go of our … Continue reading Mindful Monday No. 4
Room to Grow
I got the urge to rearrange some furniture in one of my rooms. It just felt like I needed more space. The space that opened up was unbelievable. I feel like I have two rooms instead of one now. How did I not see this before? How did I walk in and out for years … Continue reading Room to Grow
