Today is Monday. Getting out of bed and having a productive Monday is always a little difficult, however this morning was especially hard. Yesterday, it was 65 and sunny here in Denver, this morning, when I woke up, it was overcast and flurrying. But, I thought, I said I was going to go to yoga [...]
The yoga class I went to this morning focused on the importance of forgiveness. Forgiveness of others, forgiveness of events or ideas, and most importantly forgiveness of yourself. When we hold on to past hurt we solidify an unbreakable bond with that person, event or idea. I know I’ve talked before about the importance of [...]
Every year, right after new years, right around January 3rd, I get wretchedly sick. The sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy head, fever, lie-in-bed-all-day kinda sick. This drives the type-A Virgo in me insane. Obviously I’ve already planned out exactly how I’m going to adjust my life to maximize self-improvement, success, love, prosperity, etc. and starting [...]

“Just because the challenge you are given doesn’t suit you, doesn’t mean you’re not prepared for it.” That is what my yoga teacher told our class today and it really resonated with me. I had high expectations for 2012. I really thought this was going to be the year I figured it out. 2012 – [...]
I feel like I was just writing about the start of summer, and here we, are moving into fall. Often times when we move into a new season I find myself becoming nostalgic. Nostalgic for old friends, old places and old memories. Moving into fall is always a particularly difficult transition for me. Part of [...]
I was reading an article in Natural Health earlier today on the benefits of hiking for the mind and body. Sure hiking is an excellent cardio workout that uses many different muscle groups, but there is also something so serene and thought-provoking about being out in nature. I know for myself, regardless of the mood I’m [...]
The Creator gathered all of Creation and said, “I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. It is the realization that they create their own reality.” The eagle said, “Give it to me, I will take it to the moon.” The Creator said, “No. One day they will go [...]
