Connect to Your Buddha Nature
I have been struggling lately with the quickness with which people jump to judgement of others and last week I had a situation where I noticed that reactivity in someone else’s behavior and then my instinct to do the same. I happened to read a Facebook post by an acquaintance that was very judgmental and…
Read MoreGrow with your Flow
A friend posted this amazing photo of a tree in “Dancers Pose” and underneath was the caption “Grow with the Flow”. To her it was an ode to Spring which is popping up all around us but that mantra became more to me this past week as I realized the different ways to interpret…
Read MoreLittle Moments Build a Joyful Journey
Vacations are like miniature versions of our life journey…there is a beginning, middle and an end…there are some big, wonderful moments along the way and many many small moments. The more PRESENT we are on our journey, the more we get to connect to the joy from not just the big moments, but…
Read MoreBreathe in your So and out your Hum
It’s been a couple of weeks since I have last written. I have been struggling with not only the time and focus but also the desire to write my thoughts. I write when I have something to say and I have had that less in these recent weeks. However, it feels as if the desire…

Last weekend I was reading the children’s book One, by Kathryn Otoshi to my Son. The book tells the story of the color Blue…Blue is shy and the color Red begins to pick on Blue. Blue begins to feel…well blue. The other colors in the book are nice to Blue but will not stand up…

However, I do respect that these times allow us to ask…
Read MoreLet your worries be “Up in the Air”
The holiday season finds us all a bit on edge I imagine. I know it finds me that way. So last week, when I was asked my suggestions for staying calm during this time, I took a step back and embraced the frenzy in order to find inspiration. What I realized was that life was…
Read MoreNourish yourself so you can Serve Others
I recently read an article written by Tim Cook, CEO of Apple. In this article Tim explains how he tries to hold himself to the words of Dr. Martin Luther King who said “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is “What are you doing for others?” This quote inspired Tim to come forward and share…
Read MoreBe Grateful
Last week, I was riding the commuter train from my home to NYC. I was reading emails and my mind began to wander to what my inspiration for the week was going to be. It hadn’t come to me yet and I was teaching the next three days. Just as I began to go over…
Read MoreGrant Yourself the Gratitude
last week I had a moment where I realized that I had taken something for GRANTED that I literally could NOT imagine living without. It wasn’t intentional but it happened just the same. It is human nature to not always appreciate things until they are gone or changed in some way so I asked my…
