Creating Space: The Practice of Making Room for the Life You Want
In Ayurveda, space (akasha) is the first element. Nothing new can arrive until there is room for it to land. Manifesting the life you want is often less about adding and more about subtracting: checking in on what truly feeds your vision versus what quietly drains it, and learning to say no to anything that does not support your goals. I share my own biggest no, leaving a job I loved to make room for the life I was building, and how the space you clear becomes your capacity.

2021: A Year of Possibilities
This year I began the year with Dry January. I have never done that, nor had any interest in doing so, before. The reason I chose to this year is because my sister said she was doing Dry January and that she had done it the year before. Honestly, I had no idea this was a thing. Since it is all over the media, I am not sure how it is possible that I missed this…but I did. But why is Dry January important to me? To that question I may never find an answer, but I have spent the

Finding Balance During the Holidays
Ah, the holidays…They creep up on me every year. It feels like it was just New Year’s Eve, then COVID swept over the Earth making each month feel surreal and blurry.

What normally is a stressful, and potentially lonely time of year is further compounded by social distancing and the lack of holiday festivities. Great. Now what? Now we learn to liste

Mindfulness...at any age.
This past week I was invited to lead Brownie Troop 80792 through yoga so they could earn their yoga badge. The troop, some 13 girls strong, ranged in age from 7 to 9 years old. I had no idea what to expect. Would they pay attention? Would they have any interest in yoga? Indeed, they ended up surprising me in more ways than one. I started the event with the following question, "What is yoga?" Hand after hand shot up into the air with excitement to answer. "Yoga is stretching."

COVID Lethargy
When this year kicked off in our little town square in Gettysburg there was excitement in air. A band was playing on a built-up stage as people danced and sang and held onto one another for both warmth and connection as the clock inched closer to midnight. The countdown began and as midnight struck the fireworks lit up the sky. Couples shared a New Year’s kiss, kids shouted and cheered, and collectively we all rang in the New Year together in our little town square. Towns acr
