I made a comment last week in my yoga class about how fun Upward Dog is. People seemed confused. So I acted it out for them, my hands steady on an invisible rock as my body hinges forward and curves up through heavy water and muffled sounds, I'm liberated as I push my chest higher … Continue reading The Little Mermaid and Yoga →

I lost my way. It was easy being alone, my company books and butterflies and babies...sometimes quiet. Stretching and bending and crunches, mango smoothies and books themed around letting go and letting God. There, in the forest of my own creativity, climbing trees of light that led to more light, consuming goodness and sipping truth … Continue reading The One Where She Finds Her Way →

It's the eve, once again, of my eternal change. I say "eternal" because this growing, this transforming, is never quite through. It goes on and on and on, like the terrifying idea that heaven is just gold roads and me singing praises for the rest of existence. Freaky. Consistently accepting chances for radical change can … Continue reading →

Oh dear soul, let me tell you - it's okay to want. Dear love, let me remind you - you can crave. Oh dear heart, let me tell you - it's good to love. It's good to love with all of you - wearing your heart on your sleeve isn't ever ever the crime. The … Continue reading unattached →

I hear the words "Peace on Earth" a lot. The host asks Miss America "what do you wish for the world if you could wish them one thing?" She tosses her hair behind her shoulder, a memorized smile spreads across her face and her answer doesn't surprise anyone. Anyone at all. "I would want to … Continue reading Cultivating Inner Peace →

Spirit, I'm here. Again I'm here in brokenness and longing and I don't know why. There isn't a reason...just a stirring, a craving, an emptiness. The wind blows through the pine trees outside and I wish I could be part of the splendor of ordinary extraordinary beauty. Could I just be the color on the … Continue reading Enough →

Spirit, Your light wraps around me. Your hands cradle my head, Your palm on the flat of my back...supporting and sending life energy through my aching spine, shooting up to my crown. I feel love. I feel You. The air blows through the window and chill reaches the nape of my neck. My toes are … Continue reading Going Home →

I look out at the sky and I know you put it there for me. It's our secret. The air dances around my body, hugging me close and pushing me away simultaneously...that spot at the nape of my neck tingles and I feel Your whispers of love. You are only love, and I am loving … Continue reading Loving Awareness →

There are times I look out my window and I wonder why I'm here. My heart searches for purple skies and bright moons and "hills alive with the sound of music" and what I find is smog and barking dogs and pesticide sprayed yards. It feels empty with so much...air polluted with diesel and negativity … Continue reading Found →

I spend the day with thoughts of what more can I do...that's me...out there, away from here to better myself... for them. That didn't make a bit of sense. Let me start again. Since the end of teacher training (a whopping 6 days) my mind has gone into the realm of "next." I want to … Continue reading Enough →
