You won't always be a priority to others, and that's why you have to be a priority to yourself. Learn to respect yourself, take care of yourself, and become your own support system. Your needs matter. Start meeting them. Don't wait for others to choose you. Choose yourself.

(These are not my original words, but I wish they were)

But these words resonate deeply with me now. Love you and thank you for still being here with me.

When my big brother decides to come to Mexico. I can’t express how full my heart is. If I do, he’ll be pi**ed. He’s not the sensitive type. We’re literally polar opposites. And that’s why I love him more than any human on this planet. Happy to be home and with my family. Feeling super grateful.

Everyday I’m blessed to share yoga with these amazing kids! They continue to inspire and impress me with their resilience and their strength! Their favorite thing to do is stand on their head! It’s a blessed to be a part of their journey and to watch them heal and grow. I’m lucky to say I still love my job after all these years.

Pushing away the demons…but they just keep creeping back.

I keep hearing about this emotional purge. Any purge, really, that’s happening cosmically right now. I hope it’s true. I’ve never struggled more in my whole life than I am now. Just being real. Maybe you are too. Maybe I’m just hitting my wits end. Either way I send out all the love I can to you. Prayers and blessings welcomed.

Just one of my kids working on their handstands. This was midway! He actually pressed all the way up! So proud of these individuals and how hard they are working through their struggles everyday. Being in long term residential and trying to heal is a challenge in itself. It’s amazing to watch them use their yoga practice to support them through their journey. And I’m so blessed to be a part of it!

“Set Your Heart Ablaaazzze!” That’s a quote from one of my kids this week. It was one of those ahah moments when a kind you think you can’t reach opens up and blooms through this practice. It’s what makes my job so freaking worth it. So I encourage all of you to set your heart ablaze this week!
Whether it’s through gratitude, love, or on your mat. And hey, if I haven’t said it in a while, I love you and thanks for sticking around for my journey. It means so much to me.

Fairy tales…they don’t usually cone true. It’s the dark and stormy that we usually experience. But it’s how we experience them. How we carry the dark and stormy. So we can work towards the happily ever after.
A year ago I couldn’t even do a head stand, let alone a hand stand. However, I’m upside down again and it feels sooooo good! But remembering yoga isn’t about handstands, it’s about perspective. It’s about patience and growth and healing and resilience. And a million other things that have nothing to do with the physical practice. Most importantly it’s about the yoke. The coming together with yourself and with everyone around you. So I’m just here to say don’t give up. No matter what you encounter on your adventure here on this planet. I’m so grateful I’m journeying back to the mat in a way that’s different from before. Going from losing strength, to regaining strength is a blessing. An opportunity to learn. To stay curious. To remember to not lose hope. Too know it’s ok to struggle. It’s a part of our story. It’s what teaches us to know how to survive. And to remember we’re here to be alive. Love. Breathe. Move. And to believe we deserve to be having the time of our lives.

Choices…Today I chose to stay committed to my path of recovery and growth both physically and emotionally. This year I’ve already spent most of it sick, physically, (thanks Covid) Which caused me to feel pretty sick mentally. However, sometimes you gotta just grit your teeth and push through the pain. The pain of starting over, the pain of the work it takes that may feel slow. But through that pain, choosing not to give up and stay committed. So even though the weather may not have provided me with sunshine today, I made my own by sticking to my commitment to run again and it felt damn good.
So, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you can begin again. You can choose to start over. And I am reminded of that lesson because my yoga practice taught me that. It’s my favorite takeaway.

and I wishing you a blessed holiday. May it be filled with so much love for you and your families. The ones that are still with us and to all those who have moved beyond this physical realm.

Happy Solstice✨
May this new cycle around the sun initiate a moment of reflection and release for what has passed. May it be a turning toward what is to come with radiance and love, allowing the best of who we are to continually arise. May all beings benefit!

Conscious love is where you have found that place in yourself which is love. And you ‘are’ a statement of that love. And your every action is not consciously designed to assert that you love everyone, and everyone love you, because you ‘are’ love.
Then, there is no more need for anyone to love you. All you experience is a feeling of flow with everyone in the universe. You are in love with the universe. You are not actively loving, but you are ‘in’ love; you exist in the space of conscious love, which is Christ love. That’s what this whole game is about.
There’s no neurosis or need in that. For you to become that, you have to give up the stuff inside of you that keeps you from being it. And the major thing is your self-unworthiness. Most of your personality was built upon your unworthiness. Just let it go. Every time something comes up that makes you feel unworthy, or where you assert your unworthiness, ‘Here Ma, you eat it. I don’t want it.’ Give it up. Give it up to your Guru; give it up to your guide, ‘Whoever you are Guru, take it.’
Just try, try to be right here, open, honest, straight, take everything that happens to you and use it in relation to your awakening to God, right here. And when you walk out into the night, take in the feelings in your body, the lights, the walking on the cement, whatever is around you take it all in, in love. Don’t worship the feelings and don’t run from them. Acknowledge them, allow them, they are all a part of the dance with God. Just play with God, but play in such a way that you get home, don’t play in such a way that you get lost.
You get home by remembering; you keep remembering and remembering, again and again you remember. But try not to be so busy remembering that you fall on your face. Strive for the balance of remembering and living and caring. Truth, caring, looking up. Help all of the beings around you and help yourself.
How do you help yourself and those around you? By feeding them, caring about them and protesting for them. By living your life in a conscious way, in every social role you have and remembering to look up. Because the looking up is what ultimately frees us from suffering.
- Ram Dass
