It’s your Attitude, Not your Aptitude that determines your Altitude
As I have mentioned, we recently adopted a puppy. I was anxious and fearful leading up to her arrival and began to feel relief once she actually came. Now, a few weeks into the journey, I have been inspired by all that I have already gotten back from the experience. What you put in…
Read MoreFind your Perspective and you will “Catch your Breath”
It has been a very busy couple of weeks and not coincidentally its been that much time since my last post. My messages over the past few weeks have been woven from a common thread; the impending and actual arrival of Dixie, our 13 week old lab puppy pictured above. Leading up to her…
Read MoreBloom where you are Planted
This winter was a challenge here on the East Coast. I found myself getting angry and frustrated quite easily. Once Spring came, my mood lightened and I had very high expectations for a glorious, warm, sunny season. Unfortunately, for the last 6 weeks or so, that had not been the case. Finally, there was a…
Read MoreFind Gratitude for Sameness and Find Your Inspiration
I just got back from a trip to beautiful St. Martin. It has become our yearly little getaway, my husband and I…an opportunity to reconnect, relax and be together. It is a strange experience to go back to the same place several times in a row. I felt it very strongly this time as we…
Read MoreBe a Bucket Filler and your Bucket will always be Full
It all started a few weeks ago. I overheard my children arguing and my son, through his tears, called my daughter a “bucket dipper”. I stopped and tried to process what that was…name calling is a punishable offense in our house typically. I asked him to repeat it so I could make sure I heard…
Read MoreBe happy on your path and you will always be where you want to be
I recently heard a statement that perplexed me but as I contemplated it further it made sense. It became my clear inspiration and focus for my classes last week. “If you are not happy where you are, you will not get where you want to be”. My first thought was that often dissatisfaction motivates change. However,…
Read MoreToday is the RIGHT Day for the PRESENT
Recently I have been inspired by the Breath (So Hum) and the Gaze (Drishti) as tools to help connect us more fully in our Yoga Practice. This past week my hope was to use these techniques into action together to practice the goal we all seek to attain; To be present in our LIVES…
Read MoreGaze Inside and find your Inspiration
A couple of weeks ago, I was lucky enough to travel for a weekend trip to Arizona to celebrate my daughters 10th birthday. It was a special time shared with a close friend and her daughter (who was born 1 day after mine in the same hospital in San Francisco). The girls have been friends…
Read MoreSo Hum. I Am That.
I had a So Hum kind of a week last week. The kind of week where it feels as if you have a million balls in the air with no chance to catch them all. And drop a ball I did. I missed an important meeting with my daughter’s teacher. Even after I realized and…
Read MoreAcknowledge your fear and you are free
Last weekend I went skiing with my children. I watched as my son moved through his normal routine for the first run of the day. No matter how recently he has skied, (in this case 3 weeks prior) his reaction is always the same. We got off the ski lift and began to ski and…
