Hello friends. I would like to do some live stream stuff, but you need 100 or more followers. I am not someone who just invites my personal friends to like my page without it being personalized and fb doesn't really allow that. So, if you know anyone to invite I would be appreciative. I only need 9 more? Thanks. And they never have to visit or watch what I do if they find me silly (I joyfully am).

Great advice to keep in mind ❤️

A man was hired to paint a boat. With his paint, brushes, and a steady hand, he began coating the boat in a vibrant red, as the owner had requested. As he worked, he noticed a small hole in the hull, barely noticeable to the untrained eye. Without saying a word, he repaired it, considering it part of his job.

Once he finished painting, the owner paid him, and the man left, content with his day's work. The next morning, however, the owner returned, holding a check far more generous than what was owed for the painting.

Surprised, the painter asked, "Sir, you've already paid me for the paint job. What is this for?"

The owner smiled and said, "This isn’t for the painting. It’s for fixing the hole in the boat."

The painter, puzzled, replied, "But that was such a small thing—certainly not worth this amount."

"My friend, you don’t understand," the owner began. "When I asked you to paint the boat, I didn’t even know about the hole myself. After you finished and the paint dried, my children took the boat out on a fishing trip without telling me. I was away, and when I got home, I was horrified to realize they had gone out in a boat with a hole in the hull."

The painter listened intently as the man continued, his voice now thick with emotion.

"I was terrified, thinking they might never return. But when they came back safely, I rushed to check the boat and found that you had repaired the hole. You didn’t just fix a boat—you saved my children’s lives. That’s something I can never fully repay."

The painter stood silent, absorbing the weight of the man’s words.

The owner added softly, "Sometimes, the smallest gestures can have the greatest impact. What seemed insignificant to you meant the world to me."

In life, we may unknowingly fix many “holes” for others—offering help, mending hearts, or simply being there when needed. We often don't realize how much those small actions can mean to someone else.

You never know when your quiet kindness might save a life. Keep helping, keep caring, for the world needs more boat painters.

So I don't generally speak about myself and what I teach. Lately I think I need to clarify that my yoga is about alignment. Not just the parts of your body, but alignment of body and mind as well as yourself and the pieces of the universe you connect with or pass by. I am also not a soft or fluffy teacher, but one that will be funny and encourage your joy and expression. I also think that a class shouldn't be less than an hour and fifteen minutes because that is the length to let you soften your entire being and also strengthen heart and connection to the world around you. These are my joys in life and the gifts I have to offer those interested. I don't currently have any classes planned, but am open for opportunity.

You are not just a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in one drop.

"It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days… Lightly, lightly – it’s the best advice ever given me…So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly my darling…"
