Nourish Yourself Beyond Nutrition
Nourish Yourself Beyond Nutrition
Nourishing your body isn’t just about nutrients. It’s also about eating in a way that’s pleasing to the eyes, nose, taste buds and your sensibilities. Food, like yoga,is truly grounded in mind/body/spirit presence. We’re talking about nutrition this month, but it’s not only about making sure that we consume enough vitamins and minerals. For this month I encourage you to look at increasing your…

Observing Our Brains
One of the things that I’ve learned over the years teaching yoga is that people have a tough time observing themselves. When I start a class, workshop or retreat, I ask the yogis to close their eyes, take deep breaths and to sink inside themselves.
I almost always start by asking them to notice who they are physically, in this moment. We start at the top of our head and slowly work our way…

Something New!
It’s Wednesday, which I love!
I know all the complaints and whining about hump day, but I love the possibility of a Wednesday. Before I go any farther, let me admit that, yes, I love Monday too. I love when it feels like possibility. In fact, Saturday makes me a little sad. And so does Sunday. They’re the end of something. But a good Wednesday? LOVE IT. I’ll tell you more soon!
Today is…

How Do You Walk Through Difficult Times?
You know how when things seem like they’re calming down, when life seems like it’s got some smooth water all around and there are no waves coming? You know that feeling? And THEN, WHAM a speedboat goes by and you’re tossed and flipped out of your inner tube? You know that feeling?
We’ve had that moment this summer. We’ve a summer of plans for fun and birthday celebrations and peace and calm.

I'm Working Today Even Though My Heart Hurts.
I’m Working Today Even Though My Heart Hurts.
Working today, despite being in pain and having a lot of heartache today. It’s the four month anniversary of my dad’s death.
Very proud of the series that I’m putting together. I got the need to help people and heal them from my dad, who decided he wanted to be a doctor when he was six. Being poor and black in Mississippi didn’t stop him. He worked his way through college and med school driving…

Kicking The Fuck-its In The Ass
So it’s a new day and the fuck-its passed. They always do for me. I’m lucky in that they are never around for days or weeks and they haven’t spiraled down into hopeless often. It has happened, though, and that’s not pretty and it feels awful, so I work really hard to kick the fuck-its in the ass as soon as I recognize them and not move into hopeless.
The fuck-its passed, as always, and I got to…
