Bliss B4 Laundry
Life. Has this amazing ability to give to us. This weekend was the perfect example of that. My original plan was to stay home and paint and prep for art show, clean, enjoy my usual solitude. I had some tentative plans but nothing solid with anyone. Then I was invited to "Bliss B4 Laundry" to… Continue reading Bliss B4 Laundry
Remembering
Yesterday I was gifted a Reiki treatment; and during the session I had a lot of "remembering" going on. 2015 was a year I devoted to self-care. 2016 has been a year I've devoted to creating (art and business). 2015 felt like a year of recovery, stepping back from life, moving slowly, regaining groundedness and… Continue reading Remembering

My whole life I have unconsciously been striving for peace (perhaps we all are?). At least it was unconscious for most… Continue reading Yoga = Peace

When the mind has settled, we are established in our essential nature, which is unbounded consciousness. Our essential nature is usually overshadowed by the activity of the mind." (translation by Alistair Shearer)… Continue reading What’s Next?
The View From Here
As I sit here typing, coffee by my side, a grey Tuesday morning, I realize this is my first day of summer. A sense of potential hangs in the air, and some anticipation of the unknown that lies ahead... Time to nurture my spirit and renew my energy. Full-time mom and full-time work is a… Continue reading The View From Here

Over the last few weeks this yoga blog has transformed. My life has transformed. As a child and youth worker student I was introduced to a realm of studies like psychology, sociology and family dynamics. My yoga background has continued to support me through my schooling, and now into my work as a Child and… Continue reading Life | Yoga
