Who Are You?
When I was younger, I defined myself as everything I did rather than who I truly am as a person. I would often tell people that I am a runner. I am a Dean of Students. I am a vegan. But, did that really explain who I am? After years of learning to disassociate myself […]
Don’t Give Up On Giving In!
Please do not misinterpret this statement. I don’t want you to give in to external factors that make you feel uncomfortable, but rather I want you to give in to what makes you feel great. We spend a lot of time giving out our energy, but how often do we GIVE IN? Do we love […]
Cleansing Your Soul
I spend a lot of time talking about proper food choices and cleaning out the kitchen, but what happens when our bellies are filled with wholesome food, we sleep the recommended 7-9 hours and we include yoga asana (the physical practice) and exercise into our daily lives and we are still off? What is creating […]
2014 Manifesto
I share this with you not because I want to change you, not because I want to change me, but rather I want to change some of my habits and live a happier and healthier life. There is always room for growth and improvement! And…sorry for the delay, but I have been attempting to implement […]

B. U.
BE YOU, because YOU are awesome! Seriously, you are awesome. Look in the mirror and tell yourself, “You are awesome!!!!” I spent the last few days surrounded by amazing yogis at the Florida Yoga Journal Conference and as I got to know many of these women I realized many of our conversations focused on their […]
Change Within, Creates Change Throughout
As a sun worshiper and lover of playing in the waves, the shift from fall to winter is always a challenging time of year for me. I cringe at the thought of snow, below freezing temperatures, winter coats and shorter days. Just as the seasons change in the Northeast, so does everything else. Change is […]
Strengthen Your Bones, Lengthen You Life.
I didn’t think it was true. I didn’t think it was possible. And, then, I didn’t think it was fair. After being diagnosed at the early age of 30 with Osteoporosis, a silent, yet fatal disease, I was not sure what to do or where to go. I was doing everything I understood to be […]
Veggie Tales
As many of you know, my husband, Joshua Attanasio, decided to go vegan for 30 days in honor of Bethlehem’s Vegfest, and, maybe in honor of me too. I have been vegetarian ever since he has known me (almost 20 years) and turned vegan almost 10 years ago. He nobly walked quite a few miles […]
