It’s been a week since you last heard from me. My last post was all about how my week was off to a great start and what I bought at Trader Joe’s and here I am seven days later living a week that has had a markedly different start. Last Wednesday I started having flu-like [...]

Finding My Flow
April 27, 2017 { 43 comments }I sat down at the computer this morning to begin working. On my blog editorial schedule for today I had “Zoetry review” and while that is coming (soon!), I felt like I wanted to share something else instead. Photo Wanda Koch Over the last couple of months I’ve felt more ease, joy and flow than [...]

Don’t begin 2017 without taking a look back at 2016
January 1, 2017 { 17 comments }Happy New Year. I taught my normal Saturday 11:15 a.m. yoga class on New Year’s Eve in addition to a “Resolve to Evolve” workshop with Dorie that afternoon. The theme of my class and my workshop yesterday was spending time reflecting on the year behind us before we zoom into 2017, forgetting (or choosing to [...]

A Bittersweet Weekend
December 12, 2016 { 19 comments }I’m getting really good at these late Monday night weekend recaps but today has been a catch up day with work for the studio. It feels a little weird to write a weekend recap after such a sad and emotional weekend but it also feels weird to only share the highlights and good moments of [...]

Sunday Morning Coffee Chat: Life, Love and Running
November 20, 2016 { 25 comments }I hope your Sunday morning is off to a beautiful start. I just poured a cup of coffee and took that magical first sip and thought I’d sit down and write a coffee chat post since it’s been many months since I’ve done so. If we were chatting over coffee I would share…that last week [...]

The First Birthday
October 21, 2016 { 40 comments }I wrote a post this morning with a short recap of my Thursday, a story of comparison and running that came up for me after my last post, some recent eats and a shout out about my friend Teri’s blog. It’s been sitting in drafts ever since. I wrote the post and then I was [...]

Moving Through, Part Three
October 12, 2016 { 36 comments }I am really struggling with how to continue on with my day-to-day life and work responsibilities while feeling so sad (and so many other feelings) on the inside. There’s like this blurred filter between my inside and the outside world. When it comes to teaching yoga, 50% of the time I feel grateful to be [...]

Moving through, part two.
October 4, 2016 { 48 comments }Monday marked two weeks since my brother’s death. It was a hard day for me. I’ll say the same thing to you guys that I said to my Monday morning yoga class, this shit is hard. And I just can’t be a cheerleader right now. I don’t really know what else to say other than [...]

On Being Okay with Where You Are Today
September 30, 2016 { 17 comments }I was about halfway through teaching a yoga class this morning when I realized that I was there, but I wasn’t all there. I was in it, but I wasn’t bringing much for my students. I was saying all the words right and teaching a well-sequenced class but I felt an emptiness that’s not usually [...]

Moving Through
September 28, 2016 { 19 comments }I can’t even begin to express my thanks for your outpouring of love and support. It’s been a comfort to read your emails, comments and messages and I’m so sorry to learn that many of you have also experienced the terrible effects of addiction in your own lives. I hope it’s something that we can [...]

Loss
September 26, 2016 { 286 comments }I apologize for the disappearing act over the last week. I’m currently in the middle of a 10-hour road trip back to Charlotte after spending the last five days in Florida with my family. On Monday, September 19 at 11 p.m. I received phone call from my mom that my little brother Will had passed away. [...]
