Ahh!! Yes, I am back from another adventure and sadly it is over!! Sadness, happiness and even vacations are not permanent (although, we may want vacations to be;). The good and the bad begin, but they also end. The key is to understand impermanence and see joy in the transition rather than the destination. In yoga, Read More

So, I am off again. I am getting on a jet plane and traveling far away. But, this time, not am I only going to explore, but I am planning to disconnect completely. I try my best when I am home to limit my social media time and when I travel, I try even harder. Read More

  It is not always easy to make the “right” decisions, the decisions where you follow your heart and your instincts.

I feel like the Hindi God Ganesha has always been my patron saint of Read More

  It is not just me… it happens to us all… over the next week, we get lots of invitations to do a lot of things!!! But, rather than say, “yes,” to everything, I make choices. Sadly, I cannot do it all even if my calendar permits it. And, I surely cannot enjoy it all, Read More

  I rarely drive. I enjoy walking everywhere even if it takes a bit longer, even if it is a bit hotter or even colder. But, when I drive, I actually like stop lights. Yes, I know; it is strange, but true. I enjoy the pause. I enjoy that moment where I have no other option, Read More

  I thought awhile about how to write this week’s mantra. I did not want it to sound depression, but rather I wanted it to remind us that life is short and that all moments should be embraced. Some of you may know that I am a huge Anthony Bourdain fan and I was greatly Read More
