Shine Bright
Most of you reading this are living in the United States, but I know that all of you are watching, listening and anticipating what the future will bring, not just for us here, but for people everywhere. As someone who has always lived in the United States and never even studied abroad, I was unaware […]
Lessons in Italian
I cannot remember a time that I stuffed my suitcase with memorabilia and souvenirs while traveling. I often forgo the trinkets in lieu of life long lessons, which weigh much less, but impact my life so much more. I had the pleasure of traveling to Italy yet again and new lessons were learned and old […]
I was prescribed Xanax
I was prescribed Xanax… I knew that would get your attention! It is the truth, but let me explain… I was prescribed Xanax to help me sleep through my red-eye to Italy next week. I love traveling, but I hate red-eyes. I have tried everything natural and nothing works for me. I am not anxious. […]
Perfectly Imperfect
Perfectly Imperfect My new favorite phrase, mantra, description, call it what you will, is PERFECTLY IMPERFECT. I used it to describe my 15 year old marriage last week, but then it began to resonate with me on so many different levels. I very rarely question my path and my journey because I know it is […]

Finding Gratitude in Injury
If you have known me for more than a few years, you have seen me hobble, wobble, struggle and triumph through injuries. Despite being as healthy as I thought I could be, I dealt with more injuries than I would like to remember. Broken bones have plagued me since I was a child and continued […]
Moving Meditation
Hey Hey! Happy Almost Officially Summer!!! Summer is my favorite time of year for so many reasons. I love the heat, the energy, the sunshine and all the fun that fills my calendar.

Filled with Fear!
Filled with Fear! The truth is, I am afraid of a lot! Despite my confident demeanor on the mat and in front of my classes, there are so many things I avoid simply because I am afraid. I know I am not the only one because I see my students, friends, colleagues and family act […]
