I'm a nature girl through and through.
Any season. Up for any adventure. I just need to be outside.
It replenishes me.
Rejuvenates me.
Brings me joy.
Even if being outside is not your jam, there are many ways to sprinkle happiness into your hectic life.
Take a nice bath.
Light some candles.
Snuggle your dogs, cats, children, partner.
Read a book.
Dance.
It doesn't matter what it is.
Just make time for YOU.
How do you give back to yourself?

This can be a hard time of year, especially for those who are healing. The pressure to do more, be better and messages that the old you was somehow not good enough. You can make positive changes and set new goals without falling prey to all of the toxic messages that bombard us. Everything you need is within you. Love yourself and follow your dreams. They are waiting for you! #mindsetmatters #reset #healing #newyear #selfloveisthebestlove #followyourdreams

ะผััะบะฐ She was born in a parking lot in Moscow, Russia when I was working as a US Diplomat. She squeaked instead of meowing so I named her "little mouse". This little cat traveled from Russia to the US to Sierra Leone and back to the US again. She was never a friendly cat but she has shown me love in her own special way. The time has come and a difficult decision had to be made. Saturday is her last day with us. And I've been ripped apart. I lie on the floor every day, crying & talking to her, feeding her treats while she hides under the bed doing little more than sleeping and crying. I try to comfort her when she howls at night. Sometimes she lets me brush her unkempt fur and even purrs, letting me pet her. I feel guilty for selfishly wanting to keep her with me and prolonging what is clearly not a good life anymore. I feel guilty for making the appointment to end her life. It all just sucks. Knowing when to let go isn't easy. Grieving is exhausting and painful and awful. But grief is part of the journey of life and death. Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance Buckling up & riding the wave of grief. Rest peacefully little mouse. #grief #griefjourney #lettinggo #StagesofGrief #restinpeace
Keep going. Believe in your wisdom. Learn, grow and evolve. Trust yourself #affirmations #mindfulness #mindfulnesscoach #approachableasana #keeplearning #positivity #gratitude #life

Last night I got to experience Sutra 1.33. "maitri karuna mudita upeksanam sukha duhkha punya apunya visayanam bhavanatah citta prasadanam" Cultivating friendliness (maitri), compassion (karuna), and joy (mudita) are non-negotiable in order to experience a clear mind. We practice these attitudes with impartiality (upeksha). Last night I darted out the door to teach yoga & realized after I was too far away to return that I had forgotten my wallet & didn't have enough gas to get home. I had no cash or card. Nothing. One of my regular yoga students gave me $20 so I could get gas & not be stranded. She didn't even think twice. I pulled in the gas station with 6 miles to spare. Whew! THIS is yoga. #yoga #sutra #patanjali #approachableasana #karuna #maitri #mudita #kindness #generosity #grateful
