I am currently at Kripalu the largest Yoga retreat center in North America which also happens to have a world renowned Yoga school. I came here for my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training and I am now taking the leap to start my 300hr training. That is a whole story in itself and is for another … Continue reading A Sense of Home

I Am A “Big” Person

May 1, 2022May 1, 2022Leave a comment

Some time ago me and my husband were in an argument about something of no consequence. (Even in an idyllic marriage disagreements do happen) My husband was clearly agitated and talking to me in an elevated tone. While I did my best to keep my cool. Taking in deep breaths and knowing that I was … Continue reading I Am A “Big” Person

Passing the Baton

March 20, 2022March 25, 2022Leave a comment

Yesterday I was visiting with one of my favorite people in the world. She had just ended a relationship and we were talking about the issue of compatibility. How hard it is (especially in your 30's) to merge schedules and lives in a harmonious way. Now let it be clear I am happily married. This … Continue reading Passing the Baton

From The Depths of Covid

January 10, 2022March 20, 2022Leave a comment

So this week covid happened to me, my husband, and all three of my kids. Now I would like to start off by saying how unbelievably lucky we were that all of us are OK, and that none of us needed medical care in a time when local hospitals are entering a state of emergency … Continue reading From The Depths of Covid

The Art of Surrender

October 5, 2021October 5, 20211 Comment

I am sure that in the past I have written about the topic of surrender. And in the past I have learned the benefits of surrendering. However like any process in life this topic is layered or multifaceted. Or we could go with the Shrek route and say it is like an onion with layers. … Continue reading The Art of Surrender

Learning to Unlearn

June 30, 2021August 7, 2021Leave a comment

I was having a conversation with a colleague the other day while picnicking under a large White Pine tree and she asked me "Do you feel like you are learning about yourself every day?" I paused for a moment to reflect. Because the exact idea of learning something about myself every did did not resonate … Continue reading Learning to Unlearn

A Mothers Day Post

It's mothers day, and I must say as I sit here and look at all these mothers posting pictures with their kids on social media, I have to think that I have figured the system out. Here is the deal I already spend every freaking day with my kids. We homeschool, and work from home. … Continue reading A Mothers Day Post

For Fear Of Being A Witch

February 10, 2021February 14, 2021Leave a comment

For the past 6 months I have really been delving deep into the ideas of family trauma. Something about living close to my family again and now being painfully aware of where a lot of my lesser tendencies stem from. Things that in the past I tried to justify as normal behavior I now see … Continue reading For Fear Of Being A Witch

Following the Dharma Flow

October 16, 2020October 16, 2020Leave a comment

Someone asked me this week how I started my new business Mindful Tradition. The question took me by surprise and I had to take a moment to think, because it was never a conscious choice. I do not often sit down and conjure up my next plan, I follow the threads of intuition and the … Continue reading Following the Dharma Flow

Mindful Tradition

Traditions used to be the cornerstone of our species. In it, people were able to decipher the world around them, felt held, and use them as the foundation upon which their lives were built. Comfort and security was the name of the game. As we evolved as a species and we moved toward nuclear family … Continue reading Mindful Tradition
