See Goodness all around you by seeing it in yourself
It’s been a while since I have written. It feels good to be back. Last week I arrived home from the trip of a lifetime; an African Safari. My family and I got to see all kinds of creatures and we developed such an appreciation for the wonderment of nature. Each animal has unique characteristics…
Read MoreBe open to the beginners mind and find your joy
This past week concluded my 9 month anatomy program. In our last class we were asked to share the most valuable things we each had learned. I cannot fully remember exactly what I said at my turn, but I began to think more about it in the days following. One of the most valuable things…
Read MoreLearn Lisa’s Lessons
It’s interesting how the universe works. It offers us perspective at just the right time if we are open to receiving it. Memorial Day Weekend I was feeling the passage of time. We went to Florida for a visit. It has been 7 years since we lived there and I felt….old. My inner voice…
Read MoreTAKE your Time, There is never enough.
“TAKE your time, there is never enough”. I heard those words at the end of a talk I attended recently. It started me thinking. We use “Take your time” often to remind people to relax, slow down, to not stress but what about another interpretation…to TAKE your time…to own it and make the most of it…
Read MoreLearn what the Breath can Teach
The body can teach us so much. This year of studying anatomy has reinforced that for me more than ever. The physiological process of inhaling and exhaling is actually very enlightening, not just from an anatomical standpoint but from a spiritual one as well. Very simply, when we INHALE our diaphragm moves down, our ribcage…

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…
Read MoreChannel your Power of One
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…
Read MoreBe Resolute on your mat and in your life
I find myself conflicted on the principle of New Years Resolutions. I believe that the journey of self exploration and growth is gradual and continual and when we resolve ourselves to something…it has to come from within our hearts…not because the calendar tells us to. 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…
