I don’t know about you, but so many people I know (myself included) are tuning into all the uncertainty lately. While I feel like we’ve been on the cusp of social change for a while (like, the last decade or so), the last 3 years have seemed to speed things up, and naturally that leads […]
The act of noticing can be so simple, yet so profound. I took a walk today. I’ve been thinking (for a long time now) about ways to move my body more. Since the pandemic started, I’ve been so much more sedentary… which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. At first it was necessary. The sheer volume […]
I was brainstorming with my mentor the other day and reflecting on my passions, my gifts, and where I’m headed next. My friends have been hearing me talk for years about being in transition… one big, long, slooooooooooooooow transition. Of course, as a mom, I’m *always* in transition with something; we transition in and out […]
One of my main self-care ‘musts’ is to have regular body work done. I learned a long time ago that I’m hard on my body, asking it to do a lot for me in my day-to-day, AND I was pretty hard on my body when I was younger, resulting in several injuries that have left […]
“We don’t need more information. We need remembering.” These wise words were said to me casually in conversation by my beloved friend and mentor Sylvia Poareo a few weeks ago. I felt their impact immediately during our talk, but their meaning has stayed with me. It seeps into me like water is absorbed by the […]
This post originally appeared on the Full Circle Yoga & Healing Arts Blog on June 25, 2020. We’re headed into the height of summertime heat, and here in SoCal temps are certainly starting to rise. At the same time, most of us are still navigating the uncertainty of a global pandemic as well as picking […]
The global pandemic has made this a very surreal time to be on this journey. As a rather organized person who loves to PLAN, simply existing in such a state of uncertainty has been trying for me in many ways. While I am grateful that my family is safe and financially stable, I am struggling […]
So, how ya doin’? Right. I know… these are some wild times we’re living in. I don’t know how things are where you live, but here in California the whole state has essentially been directed to “shelter in place” and everything but essential services has closed or been postponed/canceled. In the absence of places to […]
Today is the Spring Equinox (for those of us in the northern hemisphere)… the day when the sun passes over the equator and the length of day and night are (relatively) equal. It also happens to be my birthday! Time of Renewal As you probably already know, springtime is usually associated with a sense of […]
It’s been a while… It’s been a long time since I felt like writing. Or posting on social media. Or getting together with friends. And it’s okay. I almost wrote, “And I’m okay with that” but that’s not quite true. I’ve accepted the fact that the last few months have felt this way, but I’m […]
