I am back from my nine-day Vision Quest in Northern Utah and Glennon Doyle’s words: “We can do hard things” are ringing loudly in my head.

I recently made a BIG decision! I said YES to going on a Vision Fast in northern Utah where, alongside a few others, I will be camping solo and fasting for four days. It’s BIG!

We likely know each other from the Yoga world when I was the founder, owner, and CEO of Next Generation Yoga—one of the first Yoga schools dedicated to children—founded in 1998.

Last week I was blessed with River time including two nights camping by the Rio Grande in Northern New Mexico. Not only was it gorgeous and refreshing amidst such hot temperatures—but I absorbed so much medicine from this flowing body of water.

Recently I celebrated my six-year Self marriage anniversary. When I lived in Oakland in 2016, I had a Shamanic ceremony where I was witnessed in stating personal vows, slipped on a sacred promise-ring, and committed to choosing and loving my Self.

It’s been a while since I made you a video—like over three years a while—and I used to do so every damn week! And since I am not on the socials—and I don’t do the IG stories or FB lives—I thought I would make a video for you today. So you can see the real—live person behind these emails. 😉🙏🏻😘

Have you also experienced significant loss over the past 2+ years. I feel you—it hurts. Whether a relationship, a client, a community, a job, a home, a belief, a dream—loss is a natural and inevitable part of life.

The past two weeks have been tenderizing. I’ve had a relationship transition, a hurtful “ghosting” experience, the passing of my childhood best friend’s father, soooo much unknown, plus the fu*ked up political world we are living in—ouch! Do you also have a tender heart?

I believe that success in your work-life is a direct reflection of the way in which you tend to your Self. That in embodying Self love—by consistently nurturing your body, living your spiritual practices, expressing your emotions, and honoring your needs and boundaries—you then have the inner resource and sustained energy to focus on and achieve your most desired business goals. 

I write this post from Boulder, Colorado where I am visiting with my inspiring, longest, dearest friend, Tami. It’s been a while since we have been together in person and it’s an absolute joy to reunite! Like old friends do, we’ve tracked each other over the years—and supported the good times, challenges, and transitions we’ve both endured.

I got some big news this week. The kind of news that *could* change my living situation. The kind of news that has me feeling surprised, vulnerable, and wondering. The kind of news that shifted my mindset to not knowing.

This is a love letter.❤️
A warm note from my heart to yours. ❤️
To express my support and send out some love. ❤️
There are many people going through something right now.
