Join us for a 40-day meditation challenge! A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I finally stopped procrastinating and began to sit silently for fifteen minutes every morning. After years of talking about meditating, we officially committed after my husband (the left-brain thinker) read a research article. Then I (the right-brain feeler) attended a […]
Fall and Halloween! Fall and Halloween have been our themes over the past month. It’s been over fifteen years since I’ve lived in a place that has four distinct seasons and people celebrate Halloween. So, it’s been an extra special year while I rediscover my youth and enjoy the vibrant colors of fall and the […]
I’m still buzzing from the first ever Kids Yoga Conference this past weekend in Washington, DC! The clear message flying around the community is how happy we were to meet each other in person. It was like spending a weekend with long-lost friends. The presenters’ content was spectacular, but the connections were golden. Over three […]
Is summer really over? But it’s still warm here in New England! We had a fabulous August, with all of our family visiting from Canada. They even humored me with a photo shoot on the beach in various yoga poses (see picture below). So cute! Now for September, when it’s time to concentrate on back-to-school […]
Long, hot summer days are here! After a long, cold winter, my daughter and I are so excited to be outdoors again. So we’re out of the house early and back home just before bedtime. (We still get excited to see deer in our backyard- like this one pictured on the right.) Last night, as […]
May was Motherhood Month! I celebrated Mother’s Day with my husband and daughter. I attended a yoga class dedicated to moms. Our yoga instructor talked about how the human brain expanded as a result of the caring nature of women. It was a very empowering and emotional class. I also loved the phone chat I […]
As I was driving to get my iPhone fixed this morning, I felt a smile spread across my face. Despite the irritation of a broken phone, the cost to repair it, and the cold, dreary weather, I still felt happy. I found myself smiling at nothing in particular. It reminded me that feelings come and […]
Snow, snow, and more snow! That has been my focus for the past few weeks. Snow plowing, raking snow off the roof, water leaks in the house, and no-school snow days. Wow, what an adventure! And to think that we left seventy-degree San Francisco weather for this! Just kidding—we are enjoying our new life in […]
I didn’t meet all of my January goals, but that wasn’t really the point. I am a person driven by actionable goals, and my daughter has taught me to slow down and enjoy the journey. Things seem to have progressed extremely slowly during this relocation, and I go to bed at night feeling like I […]
My life has literally been turned upside down. Or maybe I should say, it’s been turned right-side up. My family recently moved from a small two-bedroom apartment in San Francisco to a country home west of Boston. Two extremes. Not only have we moved across the country, even farther from our family and friends, but we’ve […]
