  • ask me anything — NEW!
  • my recommendations — NEW!

Off the Mat: The Gift of De-Cluttering and Uncovering Memories

Long on my list of projects has been to clean out my home office. It’s been an organized disaster for a long time and once the New Year hit, I made it my mission to make it a place where I wanted to write, read, pay bills, and do whatever else may come along.

I cleaned out old files and shredded so many documents the circuit blew more times than I can count.

On the Mat: Let Go of What No Longer Serves You

“Let go of what no longer serves you.” This is a well-worn saying by yoga teachers that may seem trivial and over-used and thus lacking true meaning. Yet, while common, it can be life-changing.

Before I started teaching yoga, I had a career in the non-profit world. I worked in development, raising money by writing grants and working with individual donors interested in supporting the non-profit organizations for whom I worked.

Monthly Mantra

I will be honest with myself and let go of what no longer serves me.
