Last time, we looked at how we may love another person best through letting that person go and giving space. People often take the space and time to heal and grow. If you let the person go, he or she may return to your life, but the only way to know is if you release them from your life your mind and your heart.  This time, I want ...Read More

We all hear about unconditional love, and I think most of us believe we are practicing it daily. Then, there are others of us who choose to keep score and have an eye for an eye mentality. I heard a lesson recently on unconditional love and what that really means. It seems to me that we refer to it as a status to achieve. After hearing the lesson, ...Read More

For the majority of my life, I believed that loving yourself meant you were vain. I thought it meant you didn't care about other people, were self-centered and stuck up. As a result, I went around being a push over, suffering and sacrificing myself at any opportunity because I thought that equaled being a good person. In the end, nothing was left but a spent person who didn't ...Read More

Although we know we have the potential ...Read More

In fact, you've been or are that person right now. I know I have been. When I was sick and in need of love, I'm convinced the love of people around me were the driving ...Read More

Do you have feelings of joy and bliss, impatience and crankiness, stress and peace?  I know I do. Life feels easy and good when I'm enjoying blissful and joyful feelings and emotions, but I feel taxed and stressed when my emotions are negative or conflicted.  I notice that I become indecisive about what decisions to make.  I've spent many years forcing myself to make decisions that my head ...Read More

Are you crazy busy? Is every moment of your day filled to the max? Do you have any margin of spare time? Do you spend time with yourself, reading, journaling, exercising, or meditating, or is your day completely filled with friends, work, hobbies, and entertainment? Making yourself a priority is something we all know we should do, but rarely make a reality.   (more…)

My mentor, Rhonda Shasteen, taught me early on to be true to myself. I've probably spent every day since then trying to discover my true self. I think you continue to discover it a little bit every day for your entire life. I've learned it doesn't mean be selfish. It means listening to the inner voice guiding you and honoring that voice. Listening to your inner voice is ...Read More

I started practicing yoga in 2006 because I liked to stretch. I did gymnastics as a child and I had a strong internal nudge to try yoga. I knew I would like it, but I didn't know anything about yoga. So, I started looking and trying different classes. I tried, Vinyasa Flow, Birkram, Jivamukti, Power yoga, and before I knew it, I was hooked on Ashtanga yoga. Yoga ...Read More
