Surfing the Waves of Emotions Feb 13, 2025
I found the CrossFit of yoga here on Bali.
 
It was actually recommended for beginners. I wonder what the advanced classes would be. Probably those amazing bodies that can put themselves in inversions and balance on their arms in unnatural positions.
 
Show-offs…..
 
I  didn’t get the memo that there were towels available and so I quickly found my mat being more like a slip and slide than a sticky mat.
 
But damn I loved it.
 
 
Sweating, breathing, moving, bending,

The Wish Granted by Merlin Feb 07, 2025
As I left Agus the hipster palm reader’s house, I noticed that I would be a solid hour ahead of time for my reserved table at Merlin’s Magical Ubud… and boy did I hope to get some magic after swallowing the anxiety pill for last two days straight.
 
I asked my driver to drop me off at my hotel so I could freshen up a bit, and realized if he took me to the restaurant he would be missing a whole evening with his family while he waited for my butt to find magic.

The Untethered Love Story Begins... Jan 14, 2025

“Write it for you.”

This is what I keep hearing for the last few weeks. 

I have felt inspired to write for over two months, even pulled an oracle card encouraging me to pour my words out on paper- but I have seen myself get distracted by everything and anything else.

Maybe it is because I don’t know how to write it for myself. 

I’ve never done it. 

Even now, I will most likely post this to my blog to help me preserve this experience for me in all its sacred juiciness- the up’s the down’s- t...

On Magical Moments Apr 07, 2024

…As I depart Denver from a visit with my incredible son and daughter in law, once again I am reminded that the most magical moments are the ones that aren’t planned. 

In my former self, I had to plan everything down the daily agenda because it helped my frazzled and overburdened nervous system to feel safe. 

But once I dialed that in, calmed and turned down the cortisol and adrenaline dump, I learned how to relax into the moment. 

As we navigated through Denver, my favorite magic moments were...
