  • Changes

    My body and my psyche are currently on spin cycle. I’ve been knocked around by the latest viral delight to have nested in my bones. I’ve appreciated the rest, that is for certain. I’m so grateful to be sharing this… Continue reading

  • Exploring Personal Growth Through My Yoga Practice

    It’s been a season of stretching. Not stretching in the physical sense, although yoga brings me that opportunity, often. I mean, emotionally and spiritually. I’m softening and maybe accepting myself a little more. It feels really nice to say that.… Continue reading
