I have been thinking a lot about health recently. I’m sure it is related to my Holy Yoga training and my teaching. Also, I’ve been on a cleanse. Physically, I feel great. I have to say it has brought me more mental clarity and focus. But sometimes with the mental clarity comes…well…clarity. And sometimes when we wipe

Wisdom and Dr. Maya
I have mentioned here many times that I am an Oprah fan. Her show has taught me a lot. I’ve heard some of the best advice on her show. I have spoken this advice to myself internally over the years and I’ve shared it with others. Oprah also has an “Oprah”. Her name is Dr. Maya

Are you a Ragamuffin?
I just read The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning. OMG. LOVE this book! All of the pages are marked up and underlined and starred.

Sufficient Grace
God’s grace is sufficient. In 2 Corinthians 12:9 it says: But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. As of today…I believe it. No more

Born Again on My Birthday?
I just spent a week in Arizona at a Holy Yoga Instructor Training Retreat. Since I’ve been home, I’ve been waving my arms around a lot saying, “Praise Jesus!” and meaning it. I had things I planned to do today but I didn’t do any of them. I read some of my Bible, I prayed, I

Be Brave
I have been reading momastery.com for a long time now – following Glennon from blogger mom in her yoga pants at home with a small following to super duper star on the Today show out promoting her fancy new book. I’m so happy for her and excited for her! Not only because I’m a blogger
