More Love
Paris. Beirut. Nigeria. Kenya last April. I’m losing track of what happened when. There’s been so many terrible, destructive acts. Each day there seems to be a new story. I’m tired of hearing these stories. I know most of us are tired of hearing these stories. We want things to be better. We want…

Three Questions To Ask When Faced With A Tough Decision
Last week I was struggling with an emotional decision. There is a person in my life, whom I love deeply, who really needed help. I thought to myself, if this was a stranger, would I help them? If it was, I could help them, providing money to deal with their immediate needs and hoping that…

Four Tools For Dealing with Internal Conflict
What should I do? Have you ever asked yourself this question only for it to be followed by a long internal dialogue about pros and cons, rights and wrongs, what ifs and should dos?

Inspiration is Everywhere
I attended a new yoga class yesterday. When the instructor began, she let us know that today was a significant day for her. It was her first day as a full time instructor as she was no longer doing her part time job to supplement her yoga work. I was ecstatic for her. I didn’t…

Finding Space for Self-Love
Most of us feel pretty busy. Some days and weeks are busier than others. Some weeks you have very little going on. Maybe those weeks are uncomfortable.
