Closing This Door, So I Can Open Another
This has been a long time coming. I know there were road signs along the way. I just didn’t pay close attention to them. Until I slammed into the mountain. Seriously. After my book signing (which blew me away by attendance and the comments that people made to me afterwards about how hearing my story changed their lives), I went full steam into 30 Days of Gratitude, a Facebook/YouTube project that I had envisioned, managed and co-created with a small group of friends. With both the book signing and this project, I felt as if a door was opening for me … I couldn’t see what was on the other side, but I could feel that I was being asked to show up differently. ...

A couple of posts ago, I promised to share the second option that lured me out of my seclusion to come out and play. Drum roll, please! My second book, “Empowered Voices: True Stories by Awakened Women” is here! Though the book is already available for Shop & Purchase purchase via my Amazon store using the button to the right, if you wait until Saturday September 15, 2012, all proceeds from that day will benefit the Heal My Voice nonprofit, which brings this healing process to women who’ve gone through domestic abuse, prison or court-mandated rehab. Or if you prefer to wait, you can purchase a copy from me at my October 7th book signing & reading...
Read MoreSomething Fresh and New Emerges in the Summer Heat
Summer! Sigh. There must be something in the air that stirs me up because that’s when I often take the leap to make a huge change. 6 years ago, applying for my business license to offer private yoga therapy sessions; 5 years ago, launching the first professional version of my website; 4 years ago, moving into office space; 3 years ago, shutting down my office space so that I could develop an on-line presence; 2 years ago, contributing a personal story to “Speaking Your Truth: Courageous Stories by Inspiring Women” and going public about being sexually assaulted; and 1 year ago, disengaging from my business so that I could rework and rewire my Overworked...
Read MoreEmerging from the Grasp of Unworthy
If you haven’t yet come across Cheryl Wheeler’s song “Unworthy”, scroll down and click on the video to listen to it. Contrary to what you might think by the title, the song is hilarious, so I encourage you to take a few minutes to listen. Pay close attention to the lyrics. I’m posting it because believe me, I’ve needed to listen closely to them as well. Unworthy Lately my Wile E Coyote Super-Genius Mind has been working in overdrive. On one hand, I’ve got two projects launching this summer, and on the other, I’m plagued by the same old thoughts of unworthiness. There is a deep down fit with these projects … it so clear to me that I was meant...
Read MoreJoin Me at the Tapping World Summit in May
Since the beginning of April, I’ve been participating in a 3-month Energy Coaching intensive. The results that I have been seeing in 30 minute sessions have been mind-blowing. I’m convinced … the way of the future for both health challenges and personal growth is ENERGY. On the surface, it may appear that I am diverging from my yoga therapy and meditation background, but honestly I am not. Why? Because energy IS the behind-the-scenes reason why the Body-Mind Connection works the way it does. The way I see it, it doesn’t matter whether you start your transformation at the level of the Mind, Body or Spirit (energy) – they are all...

Nonviolent Communication (NVC) continues to be a huge part of my life, even though I no longer attend a weekly practice. I remain committed to sharing with you amazing opportunities to experience this for yourself because this continues to be an evolving learning for me. Most recently, I’ve been exploring my power dynamics in relationships, those areas where I continue to expect someone else to “make it right for me” or where I jump in to “fix it for them”. You may wonder “Power dynamics … NVC? I didn’t realize there was a connection.” Actually the connection becomes obvious when you learn that our usual way of...
