Sustainable Self-Care.
Doesn't that sound great :)? Well, that's my goal; sustainable self care that equals inner growth and contentment. Self-care is an interesting topic to me....it can be looked at from so many different ways, but at the end of the day it's really figuring out what truly...
Embracing change.
I've always heard that the one thing in life that's inevitable is change...but over the past few years this life lesson has been more and more prevalent. I'm learning that we can fear it or we can embrace it; it's really up to us because at the end of the day it's all...
Around here lately…
It's been a busy few weeks...full of cooking, art and spiritual wisdom!! We had an awesome fundraiser at Dhyanyoga Centers where we sold all kinds of yumminess. Unfortunately, Anandi Ma has gotten a little sick, so she was unable to attend physically, but overall we...
Surrender and Gratitude.
I just got back from a 5 day, meditation intensive and I'm so full of JOY and gratitude! It's amazing what happens when we turn off our phones, step away from our computers, surround ourselves with like-minded people and just go within (and of course, cook a lot)! We...
35 years in the making.
I can't believe I'm 35 today! In my wee little years, this is what I've learned so far.... There's always a great reason to celebrate. (thanks for that one, Dad!) Eating fresh foods makes a HUGE difference. Real friends are shining beacons of light during your...
Making Lemonade from Lemons.
It’s that time of year in Northern California…the citrus trees are in their full glory! A friend of ours has an AWESOME Meyer lemon tree that produces the most deliciously sweet lemons. Every year they share their bounty and we most certainly enjoy them in many...
Banana & Cloves: who knew their wonders?
Northern California is amazing. Even though we've had a relatively cold winter and it's still only February, spring is here. We recently had a string of warm days and voila! everything began to bloom. It's been beautiful driving to work this week because the...
Computer-free Saturdays.
“How beautiful is it to rest and then do nothing afterward.” ---Spanish proverb I'm sure many of you out there will be able to relate to this...I always have a mighty to-do list and love chipping away at it...especially at the beginning of the year when I'm excited to...
Anti-Inflammation: healing through diet.
There are so many diseases these days where the underlying symptom is inflammation. Conditions like arthritis, Hashimotos, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, allergies, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes can be made worse or better depending on a...
PLANTING SEEDS for 2013.
----ooooo---- If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us. -Jim Rohn ----ooooo---- I've always loved this quote. And over the...
Won’t you join me for the feast?
Often when I stop and ask myself, “What am I really hungry for?”…the answer is I’m hungry for balance…balance between work, play, exercise, diet and feeding my spirit. So how do we move towards that balance and make lasting impressions on our routine and soul? I...
My word for 2013.
My word for 2013 is GROW.... GROW STRONG: Both mentally and physically I'm ready to look after my soul through sacred practices, constant inspiration, diet and exercise. GROW CENTERED: Grounding myself daily through quieting my mind and hearing the whispers in my...
