Season of the sticks
I absolutely love the fall and look forward to it every year. It is a time of year to really lean in to the awe that the season offers as we prepare for more surrender as we approach late fall into winter. Mother nature wisely models for us to include both awe and surrender as…

Threads of Wisdom
Have you ever had a conversation with someone or been reading a book and felt like the clouds parted and absolute truth was revealed? These truths are like threads running through eternity and all wisdom traditions. But being whispery threads rather than loud shouts they sometimes go unseen or unheard. I had one of those…

To me yoga and spirituality are so much more than moving the body into poses or attended Sunday service. In fact, it can be the small intentional practices that we incorporate into our days that help us the most in grounding us in who we are, keeping our heart open and remembering who we are…

Righteousness- getting right with God
A vibrant discussion about righteousness with my wise son, led to this blog. We were talking about all the righteousness in the world these days and how it stems from ego dominance and the inability of folks to be wrong or to see things from a broader lens of compassion and acceptance. We got to…

Look up!
I have been feeling a bit in the muck of it lately. You know the feeling when life gets a bit heavy, your mind gets way too crowded and your heart and time feel squeezed. You see my youthful 85-year-old mom had knee replacement surgery last week involving hospitalization and a stint in rehab. I…
