Why does one story resonate with us more than another? I am referring to this connection and tugging at my heart that I have with one Matthew Knoebel. I first heard of his story (and there are so many) from Patch, the online local paper. He is an 8th grader at Penndale Middle School in [...]
Yesterday, I had a lovely day off from yoga spending it with my mom and sister. Lunch at the Lederach Tea Room and then off to the Peter Becker Flower Show. Mother/daughter/sister time is so precious to me. I could just see the beautiful circle of our womanhood, and interconnectedness of our genes. I am [...]
Bienvenidos! This new blog photo may seem like a slice of heaven. Honestly, it was awe inspiring to rise before the sun and then welcome it with open arms, in all its grandeur and heat. Sun salutations take on new meaning. Besides, the beautiful moments in the morning practicing yoga, I spent some time purging [...]

"Wait, wait, wait for this, wait for that...", I tell my children. If only I could take my own advice and more. I think back to a Dr. Seuss book and the The Waiting Place... (a useless place), which points out the ridiculousness in our waiting.for people just waiting.Waiting for a train to goor a bus to [...]
Ahhh... a month of Gratitude to practice, behold and share. Gratitude certainly doesn't end after the turkey is eaten, the pumpkin pie is gobbled up and 3/4 of your guests are comatose on the couch. Begin your practice today with a few of my favorite meditations on gratitude and keep your journal handy as you [...]
