History,( I know I love the literal meanings of things) is defined as: “History relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events.” I was going through some recently donated books at the hospital that I work at and this is what I found!!Continue reading “History: What is it and is it really such a bad thing….”

Is one of my favorite Ayurveda sayings, it was passed on to me from my Ayurveda Teacher who received it from her teacher. If you look at the colors of these woven mats and the journals you can see the like colors that were used in each one!! Thank you Woven Yogi for teaching usContinue reading “Like Attracts Like”

I realized the other day that I ask a lot of questions. Some of this stems from my Pitta mind that wants to continuously know WHAT, WHERE, WHEN at ALL times. And now that my Pitta is a touch out of balance I started to ask myself if I ask too many questions… which mightContinue reading “ASK Questions”

I have been thinking about hearts a lot this month, not specifically around “Ash Valentine” as a friend of mine referred to it. Making it even harder for my Catholic upbringing as Ash Wednesday and Valentines Day fell on the same day. A day when most of us give up sweets or something else forContinue reading “Happy Heart Day…or belated”

What do you see in this picture? Is it about the colors, the hands, the shadows or the textures that the light represents. I would venture to guess that it is different for each one of you looking at this picture. We all “see and define” differently. I recently made a trip to the BlantonContinue reading “Perspective…”

The Universe….the dictionary gives it this definition “all existing matter and space considered as a whole”. I love this definition and I love that it happens for me and I am sure for many of you as well. It’s the idea of everything as a whole coming together to help support you. You want toContinue reading “The Universe”

Svādhyāya is a compound Sanskrit word composed of sva (स्व) + adhyāya (अध्याय). Adhyāya means “a lesson, lecture, chapter; reading”. Svā means “own, one’s own, self, the human soul”.  Therefore, Svādhyāya literally means “one’s own reading, lesson”. I have been moving through a lot of “self study” lately and the universe has put this word in front of me soContinue reading “Svādhyāya – Self Study”

A dear friend and colleague made this for me. I love the idea that you can grow your mind. How, you may ask? Well, by spending time learning from others and from yourself. Spend time reading, learning something, doing a daily Practice, studying Yoga, because for me it’s all about Yoga. Yoga has been suchContinue reading “Let Your Mind Grow….”

Acceptance and Patience are quite different for all of us. Recently in our Saṃgha Offerings we spoke about this very thing. And while Acceptance and Patience takes on many lenses, such as death, aging, and how we interact with our loved ones, I have come to these thoughts. I still miss Mabel very much, theContinue reading “Acceptance & Patience”

We had to say goodbye to our sweet little Mabel. She warmed everyone’s heart and was always happy and just looking into her eyes was like looking into the soul of a person. She was with me anytime I was teaching online, students tell me they miss her gentle snores that were so comforting. ItContinue reading “Letting Go & Choice…”
