Mountain Pose: Stand in Your Power
One of the classic foundational yoga postures is Mountain pose, or Tadasana, in Sanskrit. This standing pose is more than simply standing on two feet. Mountain pose, like its namesake, is the essence of steady, unwavering, stability. It is quiet, yet powerful. It sets up the alignment and the energetic engagement to expand one’s personal practice.

Camping in Nature: Single Moms Edition
My 9-year-old daughter and I are nature enthusiasts. We love the great outdoors! We take several yearly trips to hike, explore, learn and appreciate the beauty of the land. As a single mama, it has taken me quite a few incremental steps towards gearing myself up with maps, tools, supplies, know-how, and courage, in order to gain the confidence and the wisdom to go on these expeditions! But truth be told, after a long day trekking gorgeous terrain in the wilderness, we have always found solstice in checking into a nice hotel with a pool for the kiddo and a hot tub for me!

Are You Selling Your Precious Life or Are You Living It?
People- humans- we are all alike, yet so different. We are complex creations. We are also creators, constructing various aspects of what we call “life”. The dreams you dream, the callings of the heart that you follow, are all individualized to a version of “ideal”- the ideal self, the ideal job, the ideal life. We often ask children what they would like to be when they grow up. Yet when they grow, we stop asking them to dream. We start asking them to be practical, to settle in somewhere, to be stable, generate income, basically sell their hours of life doing “something”, and become complacent until the age of 65. Where is the magic in that model of living?

Dishonest, High Conflict, Exhausting Relationships
Narcissists are experts at creating conflict. They thrive on drama; it’s what makes them tick. They absolutely can’t live without it. Narcissists feel alive in the midst of drama; they are fueled by chaos. They’re inconsiderate and self-centered. In the narcissist’s world, it is always all about them.
