Moving Meditation

Today is one of those days, where you have so much on your “to do” list, that you just want to curl up and cannonball directly into a pint of Haagen Dazs double chocolate chip. I had 6 classes to teach ranging from Yoga to “Burn Bliss” to Core Sport.

The Upward Turn

Tonight I was preparing a homemade dinner of seasonal California fare for a longtime NYC friend who was visiting for the night. This undertaking is right in line with one of my latest “blissful” passions: a renewed interest in cooking.

From Reflection to Transformation

I knew it was coming, so one could argue that I should have been better prepared. I suddenly found myself (a life loving, joy seeking, extrovert) in the most difficult phase of all…….
