9/18 Life Lessons: WRISTY BUSINESS
I broke my left wrist by falling into a tidepool in Hawaii within days of moving here many years ago. In one swift movement, thirty years of yoga practice was upended by Pele, the volcanic fire goddess, who baptized me in her womb of lava stone and sea water. So many yoga practices involve wrist balance and strength that it can be a challenge for people like me who love yoga. To rest that part

A friend. What does a friend really mean to us? Is it defined by how two or more people weave themselves in and out of love? Is a friend someone who we can rely on when we’re in need, or is it someone who challenges us to be stronger, or both? I am remembering a client, a friend, who came to me recently with very unpleasant associations around her friends. It seemed her friends were

During the last four months, some very brave souls ventured into an arena where they faced their fears and vulnerabilities to go deeper in discovering of who we are, why we’re here, and where we’re going.
