Happy Monday! I wish happy holidays to all of those who have been celebrating over the last week. Last Sunday we had the Masters Golf Tournament on TV at our house as I am sure many others did. My husband commented several times about how green the grass is at the Augusta golf course. At…

I hope you all had a great weekend. Last weekend when I was in New Orleans I reached out to an old friend; someone I hadn’t been in touch with for many years. Sometimes that happens and for no reason people fade out of our lives. It’s a lost connection. I googled, found her and…

 Happy Monday! I hope you are all doing well. Chris and I were out of town this weekend and got home last night so this newsletter is a little late this morning. I am giving myself grace for that because I really tried to deploy my practice (and my message for my students last week)…

 I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I have a close friend going through a tough time and we have spent quite a bit of time this week talking about the struggles in the mind. Our thoughts can run away with us and take us to some very scary places– and sometimes fighting ourselves makes…

 Happy Monday! Noticing the different ways we resist has been my practice recently. It started with my clear resistance to meditating last week while my daughter was visiting for spring break. My resistance was coming in the form of excuse making and then harsh judgment about my excuse making. My inner critic tapped into my imposter…

 I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. The passage of time has been on my mind recently and how quickly time goes. We value our time at such a premium that we seem to spend quite a bit of it worried about wasting it. It is kind of ironic when we step back and realize…

  I hope you all had a great weekend. If you have been receiving my newsletters for a while you have definitely gotten a birds eye view into some of the last two and a half years of my life. There have been relocations and transitions, over 60 visitors and 17 trips and 4 retreats as well.…

Happy Monday! I hope you are all doing well. Last week I was very attuned to the power of the comparing mind both in myself and others. Whenever I think about the comparing mind I am reminded of this quote by Teddy Roosevelt; “Comparison is the Thief of Joy”. This became my message for the week.  FDR…

I hope you all are enjoying your long weekend. I have noticed in several ways recently how powerful the concept of framing is in shaping our perspective. It reminded me of this saying that became my message for the week; When you change the way you look at things, the things you are looking at change. Often we view…

Happy Monday. I got back from my most recent retreat (my eighth) almost a week ago and I am still feeling the beautiful effects. It was truly all I could have asked for!  On this retreat I shared the story of how my first retreat came to be. I was teaching at a yoga studio in NY…
