Gain wisdom from the language in your body. It contains a Message just for you.
What Fits Your Busy Schedule Better…?
It takes less time to promote your wellbeing than it does your suffering.
The Power of Intention and Gratitude
Life is short and full of unknowns. As we’re closing out another year and welcoming a new one, let’s be intentional with our time and grateful for a few vital fundamentals: the miraculous functions of our brains that produce our achievements, our hearts that pursue our passions, and our lungs that make each moment a chance to renew and restart our lives.
Harmony - A Practice On and Off the Mat
This holiday season, take time to be still. Feel grounded. Rather than growing your to-do list, ask yourself what you want from your next 60-minute investment. Listen for your cues. Then employ your intentions. Will them to work for you on your yoga mat which is a great test pad for taking productive actions that will ignite your mind, body and spirit and fuel your personal and professional life.

Natural Forces Unite
Revitalize your senses with the sights and sounds of nature in your own backyard, community, and from the land and seascapes of the places on this planet you’re privileged to visit. Become mindful during those speechless and awestruck moments and connect to the instinctual uprising within. Quiet your inner dialog and let nature’s force speak to you, and the God of its creation and yours will reveal that “message” you’re intended to receive, channel, and utilize for your good.
“Try Again”
Knowing the hardships and rewards of your people - the risks, the chances, the courage to overcome grief and adversity adds context and meaning to your life. Hear their stories. Learn from your elders while you can. Their drive and wherewithal is in your DNA. Their hopes and aspirations live on as a powerful life force within you.
Walking with God
Brahmacharya - Walk with God. When we acknowledge Him as the author of our lives, we have far more resources to manage the chapters of life. We can grow our faith muscle because He knows our story, He knows the plot, and He can work it all out for our good! He knows how it all ends too. After all, each one of us is uniquely created for a purpose and a much bigger plan than any we could script on our own.
#59 - An Annual Pursuit
I want to preserve my “sexy.” It’s a superpower. It’s a wonder. It’s a goal to harvest this energy source into my 60’s, 70’s and beyond. It’s not just about a bikini body at 85 - although again, I do have goals. It’s about harnessing my energy so I can keep firing on all cylinders to gracefully navigate my way down that hill, in stilettos no less! It’s a mindset. Your “sexy” is a great sustaining source for maintaining vibrancy in your life. We’ve all been given a dose of this superpower.
For The Best of Your Life
One of our greatest gifts as reasoning and critical thinking human beings is that of choice. Even when we can’t change our circumstances, we can choose our responses to them. We were created for a purpose. Our choices determine whether we navigate our purpose-driven life, or become a passenger to it. We have the power to bolster our wellbeing, or not; enhance our health and fitness, or not; and grow what’s good in our lives to greatness, or not. Why would you “not” when you can choose otherwise? What are you doing for the best of your life?
Sense Abilities
It’s easy to know what our senses like and don’t like. Every time we make a preference, whether it’s a color choice or a favorite type of food, we are acknowledging characteristics of our authentic being through our senses. Add a healthy dose of mindfulness to give meaning to these preferences and your senses’ abilities are heightened. These channels into our beings are powerful information carriers.
Station Wagon Vacations Coast to Coast
The cereal wrestling, Good & Plenty snorting, cruise controlling, monologuing, heaving, car sickening, hearing aid whistling, mooning and non-picture posing experiences in our station wagon cost to coast vacations, have bonded us together more than just about any other family event. Thanks, in retrospect, to our shared suffering.
Hugs for Life
During a pandemic, let’s dig deeper to better communicate our love and support in this touch-free society. In the meantime, I’ve been inspired by prehistoric creatures and premature twins to do all I can to keep the life-saving hug from extinction.
Curiosity - Strength Training for your Mind
The mind is purposed for discovery, ideas, and vetting all of the “what ifs” we propose. Matters of the brain autonomously keep us alive and are focused on maintaining our comfort and safety. Curiosity fuels our minds. It’s the quality that can open and expand the gray matter of the brain so we can “think outside the box” - minding our matters beyond the brain’s confined parameters.
I often tell my students the brain is just an organ. It’s an important one for sure, but the brain is the only organ our minds can have exceptional influence over, thereby, changing the quality of our lives.
Blah, blah, YO blah GA! And so She Begins…
Beginnings are exciting despite their many inherent unknowns. This step into the abyss, the www., is the result of my increasing awareness that I need more s p a c e. Space to think. Space to create. Space to expand, explore, share, inspire, encourage, and space to simply dump my thoughts.
