Today, in the Northern Hemisphere, it is Winter Solstice—the moment in time where we have the shortest daylight and the longest, darkest, night of the year.

Last week I was speaking with Sharon—a dear friend and client who just signed up for my new coaching course, Beyond Bubble Baths. She shared with me that the moment she decided to say YES to …

It took me six years to finally pull the trigger and sell my Kids Yoga company. It took that long, not because I couldn’t find the right buyer as that happened quickly, but because I was worried about what life would look like on the other side.

Thank you for being here. Your presence in my little corner of the digital world means a lot to me.

Has your life changed quite a bit in the last year or two? Mine certainly has.

Today my parents are celebrating 58 years of being married. They said their vows in Brooklyn, New York just one week after John F Kennedy was assassinated. I hear it was a moment in time, for sure. And, my goodness, that number of years staying married is inspiring.

Meister Eckhart, a mystic who lived 700 years ago once said, “If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is ‘thank you’, it will be enough.” This is a post to share my prayer of thank you’s.

As a female entrepreneur who lives a life of commitment to personal and professional growth—always seeking, building, expanding, and upleveling—I inevitably hit my edges, which can and often lead to … feelings.

I’ve come a long way. This week I am tasked with finding a clawfoot tub in the middle of nowhere for a very specific photo shoot. While a bathtub in nature is a lovely idea, it’s not something you easily find via a Google search.

Has life felt challenging for you, recently?

Let’s take a long slow deep breath together …

You are not alone.

I’ve been hearing it from so many people – and I’ll include myself in the mix too – that life has been I N T E N S E lately!

I am birthing something new – something that offers my unique and special gifts with the world and I am so freaking excited about it!

Also, scared sh*t-less, in doubt, insecure and most all other feelings that come with being wildly pregnant. 🙃

Last week, amidst the gorgeous changing of New Mexico weather, I joined together with a group of 16 other beautiful beings, camping out in the wild & mysterious Chaco Canyon for six nights – all of us bringing our unique personalities, varied physical abilities, diverse wants and special needs.

Last week I was feeling the funk.

It was too much computer time, lots of emotional processing, the collective anxiety creeping in and not enough time deep out in wild nature.

“Things are a bit stagnant—hubs, home, biz, life,” Lauren vulnerably wrote to me just prior to our first coaching session.

My heart grieved this morning and tears flowed.

I received a text from a dear friend, and Next Generation Yoga grad, with an update on her family in New Orleans. Her parents were sheltering upstairs at their neighbors during the storm and her mom tragically passed. Her father, thankfully, survived.

I am busy – in the middle of an important phone call and simultaneously making dinner – when suddenly I am distracted by the sound of noisy birds outside my open door. I see House Finch low to the ground underneath Pinon Tree – flapping their wings and doing something unfamiliar to me.

Have you ever done something so big – like making a dream purchase, celebrating a milestone, hiring a coach, declaring your truth – and then felt so small? Feelings of vulnerability, remorse, worry, and grief pop up unexpectedly.

Five years ago my life changed for the better. It didn’t seem that way at the time, but as I look back today at the commitment I made to myself then, I am absolutely certain, it was the best decision I ever made.

Lately, I’ve been in a pattern of grabbing my phone first thing in the morning to check my text messages, email, and other notifications.

And, I felt gross.

This blog holds a lot of heart, healing and vulnerability. It’s my story of being abroad at the onset of the pandemic. My hope is that this piece inspires you to connect with, share about and perhaps write up your March 2020 life experience.

Three things, that are uplifting my body, heart and mind, coming at you today – this Thursday!

Recently, I have been asked, “Why the heck did I pull the plug on my social media accounts!?” It’s a fair question. I mean I did have an active presence of posting, and a 5000 “friend” following.

A few weeks ago I got to visit with my family in Portland, Oregon. It was my nephew’s Bar Mitzvah and my immediate family gathered for the first time since months before the onset of the pandemic. Side-note, my nephew JJ absolutely rocked reading from the Torah.

Being in my community (thank you!), you likely know that I recently made a big transition by ending my “home-free” stint and moving into a loft space in Santa Fe, New Mexico – Tewa Territory. The journey to get to this place where I am now, surprisingly, was not any easy choice. But it was an act of self-care …

I recently ended my 17-month stint of living “home-free” and am beginning a new chapter in Santa Fe, New Mexico ~ Tewa Territory. It’s been two years since I sold my company, Next Generation Yoga, and I am now starting-up work since taking sabbatical.

Lot’s of change!

On last Monday’s full moon, I had quite the animal encounter. It goes like this …

It’s 3pm and I am reclining on my couch with my feet up just after an hour-long business call where I said yes to joining a company to help home-owners go Solar. I am feeling wondrous and novel as this is a new territory for me.

Last month I participated in The Give, Ask, Receive Challenge with none other than Alex Franzen – THE woman (entrepreneur, author & overall badass!) who inspired me to get off social media.

Can you feel it? The potential for fresh energy?! On March 20th, in the Northern Hemisphere, the Spring Equinox blessed us with the coming of more day-light, fragrant weather and new growth. Passover is here, March 27th – April 2nd, and Easter too, April 4th.

As we wake up to the fundamental need for human equality, it feels like the perfect time to put our attention on March’s celebration of Women’s History Month – where we are invited to reflect on the role of women in America.

Our human family is certainly experiencing life so unequally distributed, and my heart feels for those who are deep in it. I pray for your well-being, for a just world and for the healing of our Earth.
