As I embark on a new training to complement my yoga path, I love remembering where my yoga journey began.

My mission with Soulshine has always been to fan the flames of my students’ inner light to honor themselves by retreating inward, while also beaming light together as a community. I work to embody Lila Watson’s powerful adage:

“If you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”

Yoga has brought me closer to myself and allowed me to experience life in a more embodied yet gentle way. Knowing that my entire mood can lift by decompressing my neck and shoulders and breathing slowly and deeply for five minutes, or that my meditation practice is actually the most important part o

The words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu offer a tender reminder that mercy and compassion are not abstract ideas – they are about our shared humanity.

“My humanity is bound up in yours,
for we can only be human together.”
– Desmond Tutu

Contemplative practice is not an escape from the world’s wounds. It is a way of remembering that every person caught in suffering is a “you” we are bound up with.

As you sit with Tutu’s words, you might simply wonder:
Who feels outside my circle of concern right now, and what happens if I gently hold them in my heart for a moment?

Look up🩵

The full Grandmother Moon in February is a seasonal symbol of cold, scarcity and patience.

Now is the time to find inner strength and patience during winter's quiet. Consider resetting emotional balance and self-care.

Look up.

Wisconsin Humane Society hosted a fabulous fundraiser 'poorly drawn pets'.

I absolutely love the creation of Ziggy Stardust!

We adopted Olive, Kanga and Ziggy from this incredible organization. SO grateful for their committed and compassionate staff and volunteers.

Definitely supporting this 😁

🚨 SUBMISSIONS HAVE NOW CLOSED 🚨
Due to incredible demand, we've had to close the contest the day after it launched, raising roughly $33,000! 🤯
We are truly blown away and can't thank you all enough for making this our most successful year ever, by far!! While we wish we could continue forever, we have received more than 1,100 entries already and our artists are working hard to ensure we're able to get masterpieces back to everyone who has submitted.
If you haven't received your art yet, hang tight! It may be a few days before yours arrives in your email inbox, but rest assured we're tracking each and every assignment, and we will ensure every single masterpiece gets back to those who donated. Be sure to check your Spam/Junk folders, too.
Thank you so very very much for this incredible gift to the animals and families served at WHS!!!

———————————————————

Back by overwhelming demand — and better than ever — it's Poorly Drawn Pets! 🎉
Here’s the deal: If you donate $25 to the animals at WHS, we’ll draw your pet. The catch? We’re a whole lot better at caring for animals than we are at drawing them 🤷
We have a pool of staff and volunteers standing by, eager to turn your animal into a timelesBARCS Animal Shelter least make you laugh). You *might* get one of our extremely talented artists, but we’ll be honest… you’ll probably get someone who can’t draw their way out of a paper bag. WHS serves more than 65,000 animals and their families every year and we rely on donations to make that work possible, but it doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun while we raise those funds!

👉 SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS FOR A LIMITED TIME HERE: www.wihumane.org/poorlydrawnpets 👈

**Please note that ALL photos must be submitted through the form above to be drawn.** Facebook made things too difficult to manage on this scale, so we are not able to accept photo submissions in the comments this year. You ARE, however, encouraged to come back here to share your finished masterpiece once you receive it via email so others can enjoy it, too!

Shoutout to BARCS Animal Shelter for their inspiration and dedication to pets in need – they dreamt up this brilliant idea in 2019 and it’s since spread to shelters all across the country, raising much-needed funds for countless organizations! ❤
