| MAKE YOUR STATEMENT |
.
This week in the Academy we are diving into the power of personal story. What is your personal story? Have you asked yourself this lately?
.
So often we don't ask ourselves these personal, directional, questions. Instead we keep moving, we live a story that isn't ours or not serving us, we don't know because we don't listen to our hearts or ourselves...
.
You have one precious and dear life, with no guarantee of time. What is your personal story? How are you leaving your mark? Making a statement? Creating a legacy?
.
I love you.

| JUMP |
.
If you are waiting for the right time, for the stars to align, for things to get better or be just right, for a vacation, or permission, more money in the bank, courage...whatever it is...STOP!
.
Stop. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes, visualize it...that dream you want, that feeling you desire, that life that is so damn Hell Yes...and jump! Do everything in your power right now, to jump towards it. RIGHT NOW.
.
I'll see you on the other side, I promise. Where magic is waiting...so much magic you'll wonder what took you so long!
.
I love you.

| OPT OUT BUTTON |
.
Happy New Year everyone!
.
I'm a wee bit late, and I'm sure you've noticed that I took a little break from posting...I hope you missed me, but I also hope you've been giving yourself breaks too.
.
There is always a lot of talk at the beginning of the year of the lists of things people plan to do, of resolutions and intentions...it's mind-blowing, and inspirational for sure. And, it's my favorite time of year...when everything is fresh with possibility, and everyone feels so motivated to make progress and change.
.
But what about opting out too? Because you have this button, and you can push it at any time. You can opt out of work, of drama, of things not serving you, of things that don't make you happy...of posting here even.
.
Are there places in your life where opting out will give you space, peace, a deep breath, a fresh perspective, more quiet time to yourself, permission, time...opportunity to live more fully or be more present? If so, push that opt out button! Don't be afraid to use it.
.
What will you opt out of in 2019?

| HONOR |
.
When honor happens seamlessly there is no beginning, and no end.
.
Honor is the invitation. The invitation to see all parts of ourselves through a loving lens, to open our hearts to be fully seen by others, and to see others from this whole place.
.
Do you honor yourself? All of the pieces of you? If not, it's time to consider this practice. A new, really big, year is coming, and the conversation is shifting into unity. And this starts with you.
.
I love you.

| 2018 :: PARIS
.
In the Summer of 2018 I decided that I wanted to live in Paris for a bit, and so I did just that!
.
With two suitcases I followed my heart and based myself in Paris while traveling for the rest of the year...and I fell in-love.
.
I love Paris so much that I don't want to leave!

| 2018 :: BHAKTI
.
Bhakti means devotion; it is the yoga I am, the yoga I practice, the yoga I live, and the yoga I share. Devotion.
.
My yoga isn't something I leave at home when I travel, and it isn't a yoga that fits neatly into every place I visit. It is an intimate part of me.
.
Bali is Bhakti. I felt at home here, deeply rooted in devotion, connected to the rituals and beliefs and traditions of this culture.
.
And it felt amazing.
.
I bathed in holy water, was purified by various elements, felt divinely guided, sat still, listened...and I felt so incredibly humbled and grateful for every drop.

| 2018 :: BALI
.
"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations; your consciousness expands in every direction; and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali
.
How right you are Patanjali, how right you are.
.
I took my shoes off immediately, because I wanted to feel the soft, squishy, earth under my feet and between my toes. And I wandered barefoot, and happy-hearted until it was time to go - in awe of the ingenuity, the skill and art of this place, the foresight, the abundance, the absolute green that was so pure and beautiful...it was, and will always be, one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen or felt.

| 2018 :: SUNRISE
.
Some of my most favorite sunrises of my life have happened in Thailand, and that was certainly the case in 2018.
.
This morning I had @anantara_goldentriangle all to myself with the most glorious soft, sexy light...it felt like a dream.
.
Speaking of dreams...you may have noticed I've taken big breaks from posting here lately. It's because my life has gotten so dreamy that I'm finding I want to be more and more in it fully. How amazing is that?
