I started physical therapy this week. I’ve been waiting eagerly for this moment in my healing process. I’m so excited and grateful! As I’ve had my arm worked on, I’ve realized that I can approach the therapy as a yoga practice where I explore and befriend sensation without judgment and expectation. This past Thursday I… Continue reading Physical Therapy and Yoga

Adventure
Years ago when our kids were young we took one of our many camping trips to the Smokies. We listened to “Howliday Inn,” the story of a vampire bunny. The highlight of the book was this little phrase that has stuck with us, “Adventure is good for the soul.” As we head back home, we… Continue reading Adventure
Not Going There
We are in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe but today’s picture is not an architectural gem but a message left in a bathroom stall. Wisdom calls out in the streets and beckons us to possibility, creativity, and our full potential–all of which finds the fullest expression in our love for each other… Continue reading Not Going There

Forgiveness Bell
“Forgiveness is the virtue of the brave,” my Instagram friend, @warith_me, quoted on his post this morning. Forgiveness is also the undoing of all stories of separation and judgment. In the Indian epic poem, The Ramanaya, Ram (God) asks Hanuman, ‘Who are you?” His answer helps us better understand the path of forgiveness in yoga. He… Continue reading Forgiveness Bell
Courage and Love
I was scheduled to teach a stress reduction yoga meditation class for six weeks at FIU, but given my accident, it was unclear I would be able to do it. It was a class that I thoroughly enjoyed last year. Not teaching would have been another loss for me. Thankfully, I was discharged from the… Continue reading Courage and Love
