Practicing JOY

JOY is not something that ‘happens’ to us. it’s not something we wait for, or something other people give to us. JOY is something we CHOOSE. something we PRACTICE. our reality is largely the nature of our thoughts, so practice manifesting JOY and abundance, just as you would practice landing a handstand. the results are […]

The MIRACLE Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  This morning, January 1, I woke up feeling…. different.  (And not simply because I had imbibed an inordinate amount of pink champagne at various NYE festivities, and kissed a few friends (and maybe even one or two strangers) last night as the ball dropped)…..  Different, because I know that today is a […]

“Purity”

Late last year, I took a trip around the world, and one of the many highlights was a jaunt to Mal Pais, Costa Rica (see previous blogs). This sleepy little village is a haven for venturesome surfers, located square between the beautiful rolling waves of the coast-line, and the alluring greenery of the dense rain forests. In short…. Paradise.

You’re gonna need a bigger boat…

Typically, I like to begin these blogs with an itemization of “5 Things for which I am thankful”. Today…. I think I will break with tradition, and instead begin this post with… “5 Things of which I am TERRIFIED!!” 1) being attacked by sharks 2) drowning in the open ocean 3) being attacked by sharks […]

“Wherever you go, go with all your Heart” – Confucius

I came upon this quote earlier today over my Venti iced coffee as i was preparing to teach. At first, it sounds pretty basic…. i mean, we’ve heard it a million times: “follow your heart!”. it’s not exactly an earth-shattering revelation. BUT…. maybe….. it could be. Maybe Confucius did not intend this advice to be applied only to the broad spectrum of our careers and life journeys. MAYBE…. he meant it to apply to every individual day. or even…. every individual moment.
