Goodbye 2015: a year in review.
Dear Friends, Happy New Year! Every year I like taking the time to recap the year - to look back and see where we started and where we ended. At a glance it gives you a chance to celebrate the strides, review lessons learned, reflect on turning moments...basically to...
YOU’RE INVITED: 2016 Global Collage Party
New Year’s Collage Party’s have been a long time tradition of my sister and I…and now I’d love to open up this tradition and invite you and your friends to join the fun!
Whenever I’ve taken the time to put visuals to my hopes and goals for the future, they seem to stick a little better. Maybe it’s because I not only have a clear image in my mind, but when I start veering off track, my collage provides a visual reminder of my intention were and an ample dose of inspiration to stay on course and keep motivated….especially if my piece is hung in a good spot, like by desk, by my bed or one year I even hung it in my bathroom so that I would see it every morning while I was getting ready.
Commissions+ Art Therapy + December Giveaway Winners
This week I finished up three lovely commission pieces for a dear friend of mine from college….they were so fun to do! She wanted to give something special to her sisters that encompassed their love, friendship and the gratitude she held for each of them. So, after a few phone conversations and a little questionnaire, I created these three pieces to celebrate their sisterly bond!
GIVEAWAY + Exploring Seasonal Veggies with the Joyful 12™
There is something so special about eating fresh and making mealtimes a daily family gathering. I’ve found that cooking fresh is definitely nourishing, but when I’m able to cook with my family or friends, it brings out an ample dose of love and creativity that enriches our relationship on a much deeper level. And then when we sit down to share our bounty, there’s a comfort in the ritual of breaking bread while sharing the highlights of every one’s day, world events and whatever else is on our minds.

A Yogi’s Guide to Abundance
Although wealth is most often associated with worldly possessions and riches, Dileepji beautifully shares in the intro of this recording, that money is only a part of the picture; true wealth is a state of mind that comes from gratitude, good deeds and faith in the divine.
Wanderlust: a mindful triatholon + art
A few weeks ago I had the good fortunate to host a booth for Wholesome Soul at Wanderlust 108 D.C., where 1500 yogi’s made their way together for a day of yoga and mindful living. As someone who’s a practicing yogi and that enjoys exercise, hatha yoga, meditation and fresh diet, it was awesome to see how this event brought so many people together from different walks of life. It was a fun and diverse mix of cultures, body sizes, skill levels and interests…which was great to see.
