My head feels like a ping pong game. This is my vata being off balance. My dosha is normally very spacious giving me room to be present and take inspiration from all around me. Not so much right now. My mind still creates but instead of inspiration, it causes me perspiration. Did I say my [...]
The First Day of Spring my friends and if you look outside, a snowy one at that. Oddly enough, I do not feel cheated. It is what it is and I embrace it with openness. A theme of receiving weaved its way into my life this week and maybe some of my classes including our [...]
It is beautiful how much life is filled with moments where we decide to act and then realize how those actions affect others. This morning, I was on my way back home, when I spied a bird floundering in the road. I kept driving but right away I knew that when I got home, I [...]
Yes it is the month of Gratitude according to the Hallmark cards and online reminders but we all know that Gratitude has no season. It is everyday that we are alive. Keeping this in mind, may put our troubles in perspective, our hearts to open a bit more and be more at ease. Sharing the [...]
Welcome back you, welcome back me. What a summer it was! A big bang with a memory making trip to Paris with the girls and then a very large reunion with my family at Disneyworld. It started off with great fanfare and then smoothed out to a nice rhythm. Now with the Fall season descending [...]

We have been enjoying all things puppy like pulling shoes from her mouth, teaching her that hands are not food, and praising every end result from our daily walks (okay folks I am speaking of elimination!). The [...]
Welcome to the New Year 2014. I have always loved an even-numbered year, embraced the 2's, the 4's, the 6's and so on of the various decades of my life. But I didn't have the time of day for the uneven-numbered years. It is just that I love things that are even keel; numbers, family, [...]
Are you wondering how my deviant plan to get my girls to do housework while I am teaching is going? It is actually working (2 days into it). I came home not to the mess but to their rooms clean, the wash folded and the downstairs dusted. Whether or not they just did it 5 [...]
Good Day World - Watch how I start my day! With an Attitude of Gratitude. I swear I think that is what keeps me sane, even keeled and humbled in a good way. I find as I continue to practice yoga in all its forms, that my day has more space in it. It is [...]
