Post #112: Need help finding your umbrella?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This is embarrassing but I'm sharing it anyway. I’ll never forget 15+ years ago when I finally came to a realization that changed my life.   This is embarrassing but I'm sharing it anyway. I ENJOYED wallowing in my own self-pity. I enjoyed wallowing in my thoughts, “Poor me, no one will ever love me. I don’t deserve it. I’m just a worthless piece of crap.”   Before you pull out the worlds tiniest violin, let me explain.   Many of us as children are steeped in various dramas that our parents go through.   Even though we tell ourselves that we will...

Post #110: Setting Healthy Goals for the New Year

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When I was little, I remember adults always saying things like, “Time goes faster and faster every year.” I never believed them then, because my next birthday or Christmas seemed FOREVER in the future, right? Now, as an adult myself? YEP! I see what they meant. Every December, I find myself saying, “Oh, my gosh! Where did the year go? It’s almost January!” Still, it’s not exactly a surprise, is it? We know that January follows the holidays, and that we’re going to think about plans for the coming year. You’ve probably been thinking about health...

Post #109: Why a spiritual yoga practice? You’ll be amazed.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Did you know that research has shown that psychological well-being increases significantly in yoga practitioners who practice with spiritual intention vs. physical intention? And that's where Spiritual Yogi comes in. This practice is so much more than physical movements and postures. The practice is meant for us to get back to what the "Yoga Sutras" call the "spiritual light of the self". Have you ever felt homesick or lonely for something but couldn't put your finger on what it was?   The thing you were missing in that moment was your own soul-self. No, it didn't leave and go to Jamaica. It...

Post #108: Used to be a people person?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]My co-worker used to wear this t-shirt that said “I used to be a people person, then people ruined it." If this hits home for you then do me a favor. Bring to mind that one person in your life that pushes your buttons. You know the one.   They drive you crazy.     You dread running into them.     Your stomach is clenching just thinking about this person. You’re holding your breath.   Just thinking about them ignites a visceral reaction.   Now…   what if I could give you a higher perspective that could get you to a place in which you WANT to see that...

Post #107: Let gratitude (not stress) fill your week. 17-Minute Gratitude Meditation

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I'm grateful for YOU!! Seriously, you share in this phenomenal practice with me and we help each other fill life with more peace, more joy, and more gratitude. And what holiday represents this better than Thanksgiving? Plus there's all this good food! (My favorite has got to be the sweet potato casserole. And I like to stir it in with some mashed potatoes, maybe some gravy if it's vegan. Now that's a good bite!) But what's even better than that is spending time with family and friends and honoring each other with gratitude. Maybe we honor them...

Post #106: Warning For All Humans…

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]what would you do if other people came with black box warnings?   Something like this:     You work so hard to find peace and balance within your busy life…   Then…   another human being comes along.   Peace & balance turns into stress and drama   which drives you back into crazy-land.   The problem is: we can’t just avoid people and relationships.   I mean…   We deal with other people every single day that we wake up and walk out our front door.   And in reality, most of us are dealing with other people even before we walk out the front door…   when we check our...

Post #105: Secretly Wanna Shipwreck On A Deserted Island?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Let’s face it.   Other humans can be hard to get along with sometimes. There’s drama, gossip, and just plain ole backstabbing. Then throw in stress, overwhelm, and a hefty dose of opinion and you’ve got a recipe for disaster. Whether it’s your partner, in-laws, friends, co-workers or perfect strangers, relationships can make life richly beautiful or downright miserable.   Relationships are supposed to be the heart and soul of life. So why aren’t we doing everything we can to make our relationships better?   What if I told you that there is a higher perspective that you can learn...

Post #104: How Enlightened Are You In Your Relationships?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I know that you are a self-aware individual. And because you are self-aware you care about how you act and react with others. Cause let's face it, it can get pretty ugly sometimes. Relationships are THE most important thing we experience in life and, yet, we often make choices that leave them wanting for much, much more. My 5-day relationship challenge is coming up in November.  It will help you prepare for lots and lots of family and friend time.  I want all of us going into the holiday season with peace, ease, and the excitement that...
