I hope you all had a great weekend. My weekend was filled with laughter and joy as I had three very close friends come for a visit. The weather was cool and overcast during their visit (and I felt responsible somehow that I could not provide sunny eighty-degree days). We all acknowledged the weather was less…

I hope you all had a nice weekend. I have been developing a new KLARITY Mindsette workshop on Happiness and was inspired to share some of it with my classes last week.  Happiness is a lofty topic. It is truly what we all strive for. The Dali Lama talks about our level of happiness being…

I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. Last week, both in our practice on the mat (with cutie pie crow pictured above) and off of it I touched on what it means to Live in the Light.   Often when we think of trying something new or putting ourselves out there, there is…

This month I am completing a two-year mindfulness meditation certification program (MMTCP) with Jack Kornfield & Tara Brach. The world was a very different place when I was accepted into this program in February 2020 (2/20 photo above) and especially when the program began in January of 2021.  It has been quite an intense time…

This week in my class I shared some tips for cultivating the practice of CHOOSING HAPPINESS. We know whatever we practice we get better at and we practice things we don’t want to get better at without even realizing it. That is what mindfulness offers… a chance to consciously choose what we want to “practice”.  There…

I hope you all had a good week.  With my recent move to Florida, I have been playing a bit more tennis as it’s a great way to meet people. A week and a half ago I played in a clinic and there was a middle-aged woman there who I hadn’t met before. She seemed…
