I’ve shared this message a thousand times before, but it keeps coming up, and it’s important enough that I will likely share it a million time more. It is this: You are enough. We all feel the pressure to perform or produce in some way, and we tend to tie our value up in opinions … More You Are Enough

My son, who might be the wisest person I know (in part because he’s young enough that he hasn’t yet forgotten the things we were all born knowing), has been saying to me lately: ” Mommy, I love you in your whole life!” He’s 3-years-old, and so he mixes up some sayings and his grammar … More Whole Life Kind of Love

When yoga is approached as a spiritual practice and the soul … More Integral Value of the Physical Body

I’ve noticed my ego has been very big and very loud lately. What do I mean? What does it look and sound like? How does it manifest in my day to day life?
