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.

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.
