Small adjustments

Small adjustments can make big differences. I was reminded of this over the past weekend in two yoga workshops I attended. Each workshop was 3 hours long. Lisa, our teacher, gently and slowly guided us through the intricacies of different poses, revealing little “secrets” to go deeper correctly and without stress or strain. On Sunday, […]

Apache blessing

I love this Apache blessing, and share it with you today. It acknowledges our interconnectedness with our world, and the beauty and goodness of nature. It is my sincere wish for you. May the sun bring you new energy by day May the moon softly restore you by night May the rain wash away your […]

Exhale, ebb, bust

I got a call last week from a young woman requesting some time with me to help her work through some life issues. I always say yes to these requests for it is an opportunity for me to help someone. But more deeply I have found that whenever someone approaches me with an issue, it […]

Hold onto nothingness

“Hold onto nothingness”. Deep into our yoga class, we melted deeply into a variation of the One-legged King Pigeon pose. As we came out of the pose after minutes of being still, Donovan, our yoga teacher asked us to notice that for a moment we had been in a place of nothingness. He exhorted us […]

I live boldly

One of my inspirational readings on Sunday was entitled “I live boldly”. This affirmation rested with me all day as I contemplated living boldly. I thought of people throughout history, people I have known who dared to live boldly. Some are famous, some just quietly live boldly. I remembered how boldly my son Shane was […]

All-one

My friend Elsa wrote on her Facebook page:   Tonight i looked out my window and saw a breadfruit slice of a moon in the sky. Clear white light. And beside it, to the right almost perfectly in line with the tip of the slice, the brightest diamond of a star. The sky is a deep […]

“My daughter and me” “Lights in the garden” The poster at my yoga studio read: “Learn how to paint from the heart evoking the beauty hidden within us.
