Break-Up or Make-Up? Top 5 Questions to Ask
A good friend and I were hiking this weekend in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. Among the wide variety of topics we covered was how often we tend to stay too long in a job, relationship, or situation that isn’t working. I started thinking about my clients and my own life and came up with three main reasons why we…
Keep Reading...The Authentic Life
How are you showing up in your life? Do you show up differently depending on who you are with or what circumstances you encounter? Standing your ground and being authentic to your true nature, even under duress is a challenge and a gift. My dear friend and colleague, motivational humorist Karyn Ruth White was recently scheduled for…
Keep Reading...Transitions in Life
We all know that life is transition, always changing, just like the seasons. But sometimes, we forget and need some reminding. I was reminded yesterday. One of my first and favorite yoga teachers is moving and taught his last yoga class here. He is so smart, sweet, and loving, and he showed me the way…
Keep Reading...Grace Stories: The Power of Intention
PW came to one of my 30 Days to Grace workshops tentatively at best. She had never practiced yoga in her life, she was dealing with some very debilitating health issues – and she had lost her husband quite unexpectedly in the last year. WOW. I was impressed with her the moment I met her,…

Keep Reading...Transitions
After giving my 30 Days to Grace program a couple of times this week it occurred to me that nearly every one of the participants was going through some kind of transition. One woman recently lost her husband, another was healing from a serious car accident; and a couple were bracing themselves for the end…
Keep Reading...MORE Fabulous After 40
I have never entered any kind of contest like this before, but I loved the concept MORE magazine came up with by having women define why they are more fabulous after 40. The old saying that “youth is wasted on the young” is a great one, but it doesn’t stop our culture from being obsessed…
Keep Reading...From CHAOS to CALM
Last night I gave my new program, CHAOS to CALM: Your Prescription From an ER Nurse Turned Yogi at Women, Wine and Wellness, a monthly networking event. A variety of women attended of all ages and businesses ranging from skin care to real estate to event planner. But even as we all had differences, we all…
Keep Reading...Small Change
There is a plum tree right outside my office window I check in with every day. Two weeks ago I started to notice a fuzzy little something on the branches, barely even noticeable. Then it snowed and it was gone. A few days later, I noticed tiny buds starting to form. And then it snowed again,…
