Summer has arrived in full force. The air is heavy. The humidity wraps itself around everything, and even going for a walk feels like work. I know I need to adjust. Instead of waiting until later in the day, I need to be outside first thing in the morning while the world is still quiet and cool. My goal is 10,000 steps a day, yet lately I rarely get there. I’ve realized something about myself. I’m a fair-weather person. Spring and fall feel like home to me. As someone with a

I am out for a walk because my stomach is too full. Not pleasantly full. Not satisfied. Overfilled. I feel like a stuffed turkey about to explode. I ate before I was hungry. I kept eating after my body had already whispered, That’s enough. I didn’t stop at two-thirds full. I know better. I teach this. I talk about listening to the body all the time, and yet here I am again. But maybe that’s the point. Knowing and doing are not always the same thing. One meal doesn’t change my

I didn’t realize how far off I had drifted… until I came back. Winter had settled into me in quiet ways.Not just the extra weight on my body… but the heaviness in my mind.The long nights where I lay in bed for hours, chasing rest that wouldn’t fully come.The days that felt slow, thick… like I was moving through something unseen. There was stress… my husband moving through health challenges. There were emotions I didn’t want to admit—anger, rejection. And even though I knew ho

There are moments when the mind gets loud. It tells me I’m behind. That I should be further along. That I’m not doing enough… or worse, that I’m not enough. And if I’m not aware, I start to believe it. But over time, I’ve learned something important: the mind can be trained. Just like the body in yoga, just like the breath in practice… we can gently guide the mind back to truth. This is where affirmations come in. Not as a way to pretend everything is perfect, but

Everything we experience in life has a reason. Not because life is doing something to us, but because life is responding through us. Karma is often misunderstood. It isn’t punishment or fate. Karma is action… divine law giving us the results of what we think, say, and do. Every person who stands in front of us, every situation that triggers us, is offering information. If there were nothing to learn, nothing unresolved, it wouldn’t disturb us at all. No one comes into our

I’ve been trying to find my voice my whole life. Not because I don’t have anything to say… but because for so long it didn’t feel safe to say it. I am the kind of person who can feel everything, sense everything, know so much inside of myself… and still hold it back. Like I was always measuring what I could say, how I could tell it, and whether it would land okay. So yes…finding my voice has been a lifelong journey. And then three and a half years ago, I came to Unity Win

There is a discomfort in my belly. It’s not dramatic. It’s not loud. But it’s there. And my first instinct is to make it go away. Eat something. Drink something. Scroll something. Do something. I just want to feel differently. But right now, this is the way I feel. So I stay. I sit still and look deep within. I feel exactly where the pain is located. It’s in the belly... that solar plexus space... tight, unsettled. A quiet anxiety. A sense that something should be

For much of my life, speaking has not always been easy for me. There have been many moments when I felt something deeply but didn’t quite know how to say it out loud. The words would stay inside, waiting for a place to land. Writing became that place. When I sit down to write, something begins to open. There is space to slow down, space to feel what is really going on inside, and space to say what I truly want to say. Often I don’t even know exactly what I think or feel unt
