Stepping Back for Ease. A Gift.

Stepping Back for Ease. A Gift.

Stepping Back for Ease. A Gift. The holidays can be amazing and complicated; jubilant and crazy-making; overstimulating and lonely all at once. Even when we're joyful, there’s the added stress of finding and paying for gifts, and often many preparations. For some of us it might mean attending holiday events with difficult family members. For others of us, whose family circumstances have changed, it might mean spending more time than we wish alone. This year, I can check the box on all three of these categories! A nearly 50-year spiritual practice of yoga and meditation has not immunized me from stress, grief, disappointment or betrayal. But I have learned a few strategies over the years. I know that if I can [...]

Perfection, Acceptance, and Dogs :)

Perfection, Acceptance, and Dogs :)

Perfection, Acceptance, and Dogs :) We would love to be as accepting of life as it is, as our dogs, right? Jordy, my neighbor’s dog has leukemia and has only a few weeks to live. Yet she still loves to chase rabbits, go for walks, receive a good belly scratch and come to my door for treats. If she’s uncomfortable, she isn’t complaining. She doesn’t resent her owner when he says “no” to more treats, and she could care less that I have a Mezuzah on my doorframe. I’ll never be that comfortable with the here and now. We humans are works in progress. Perfection is the enemy of love. I wish I could help my precious granddaughter understand this [...]

The Healthy Love Show

Online Registration The Healthy Love Show: Get Ready Emotionally, Physically, & Spiritually for Juicy, Connected Love LIVE Sep 14-16 10am-5pm EST (free series) I’ll always remember how I felt when my first marriage ended. I was not a healthy human. This was way before my sunrise pictures on Instagram and Facebook; long before writing Yoga for Depression and discovering how simple movement, combined with breathing practices and sound could transform my life. Back then I was so filled with shame, remorse and regret that I drank to numb the pain. In the television industry at the time, drinking was part of the culture anyway, so I "got away with it", but not for long. I felt [...]
