My first real trip was a sprint through Europe when I was 16. I’ve learned over time that a more leisurely pace allows my travels to change me even more. I’ve found the same to be even more true in my spiritual journeying. The one sure way to insure that you miss life’s meaningful moments is to race through it to get to whatever’s next.

At a dear friend’s funeral, listening to the remembrances made me realize both how much I didn’t know about her and how very many people she had impacted through her relatively quiet life. What if – on days when we’re feeling small and a little insignificant – we could remember this? That we matter? That the world is a better place because we’re in it? That would be a wonderful way to honor my friend’s life.

At a friend’s funeral so many people were heartbroken over her loss. When you’re feeling a little insignificant try to remember how much you matter to so many

Sometimes, in the face of it all, it can seem kind of ridiculous to think that stepping on my yoga mat or sitting down to journal or pray is even worth it. But it is. It really is. Every time we nurture the good and hopeful in our own heart, we add to the good and hopeful in the world. And that is a very good and very meaningful and very important thing indeed.

The Christian season of Lent began this week. Rather than taking on a discipline or giving something up, this year I am feeling called to spend these 40-days pondering mortality – others’ and my own. While that might strike you as bleak, I believe this is a way to stay mindful of the fleetingness, fragility, and preciousness of life. A heightened awareness of this can make living a sweeter and more tender experience.

Lent can be a season to ponder our mortality. Rather than being bleak, living with an awareness of death can make life a sweeter and tenderer experience.

I hate messing up. I hate it even more when I “get caught” making a mistake. I hate it most of all when my mistakes splash on others. Yet making mistakes seems to be an essential part of the human journey. In fact, mistakes are not obstacles on our journey to becoming good people. They ARE the journey to becoming better people.

Wow. The news lately is literally leaving me with an eye twitch. I don’t know why the human mind allows the negative to overshadow the positive, but it does. Especially in times like these last couple of weeks, it is important for us to cultivate the habit of paying attention to even the tiniest good things in our lives. Doing so gives us the resilience to put our best foot forward no matter what is going on in the world around us.

For some reason the human mind allows the negative to overshadow the positive. Cultivating the habit of paying attention to the good stuff is a survival skill.

My daughter planned a ski weekend for her birthday and we were thrilled to be invited. Yet I wimped out and chose not to go skiing. When I made my choice, I thought my fear of falling and hurting myself was keeping me safe – but it was really holding me back. Now that I understand this, I have to figure out how to choose differently next time - to make a life-filled rather than a fear-filled choice.

I spent a lot of time in the car this week and passed many of those crazy, human-esque, inflatables that flap hysterically in front of rug stores and auto dealerships. You know the ones - the wind pushes them over and moments later they are back upright, grinning crazily as if to say, “I’m fine! Everything’s OK! I’m good!” They got me thinking that resilience is not like that for people. Resilience is not about going back to the way we were before. It’s about moving forward as the person you’ve become because you’ve navigated something difficult and allowed it to form you into someone new, someone a touch wiser, someone slightly more evolved, someone filled with a little more humility and a little less fear. That’s way better than bouncing back, don’t you think?

Resilience isn’t going back to the way things were before. It’s moving forward as the person you’ve become because something hard formed you into someone new.

Good morning. Am I alone in thinking the world is a lot right now? It is natural to feel helpless in the face of the world’s needs. An old story from the Talmud reminds us that if we each do our tiny, little bit, it is good and it is enough.

Happy New Year! This year a single word is my New Year’s resolution, my intention for 2026, and my word of the year. The word is YES. You could say I came to this resolution the hard way and I’m grateful that I did. After years of challenging, painful, and scary life events, I have learned that these events themselves are not what causes me the most suffering. What sucks the life out of everything is my resistance to what is happening. So, mostly because I have learned the hard way that NO cripples the soul, I am all in as I greet this new year with a resounding YES.

Good morning and a very happy new year to you! Several months ago, after flipping through a family photo album from when our kids (and we) were young, a friend looked across the room at much-less-young me and asked, “What happened to you?” I won’t lie. His joke stung. But do you remember the old story, The Velveteen Rabbit? You could say that, like that little toy rabbit whose fur had been loved off and whose joints had become loose and very shabby, what happened to me is that I have become “real” or loved. If that’s the case, I sure hope life and love keep showing up on my face for years and years to come.

Gathering with the ones we love can be both the best and (sometimes) the hardest part of Christmas celebrations. Human relationships just seem to be that way. One of the hardest things we do for those we love is caregiving, but it’s also one of the deepest and most sincere expressions of love available to us. The gifts of caregiving flow both ways, in large part because when we show up for people in moments of need and vulnerability, we are showing up right where God is. What if we started to think about taking care of one another as a form of prayer?

We offer two yoga videos (a free 20-minute class and a 1-hour for just $10) on our website to support your home practice. For all yogis and yoga teachers, we offer an Online Yoga Philosophy Class to help you take your practice off your mat and into your life.
