In our Holy Yoga training the other day, we learned this: “Limitations in our lives equate to freedom”. We were talking about physical limitations relating to yoga but honestly, that statement just blew me away. The Truth is that when we accept our limits and need to lean into God’s strength and power, we are transformed.

Trust Without Borders
I can’t get enough of this song. “Spirit, Lead me where my trust is without borders.” Borders can be anything. They can be in our minds. Limits we put on ourselves, lies we believe, fear we succumb to. We can be telling ourselves old stories about where we can go and why we must stay

Day 11: Thank you to our Veterans
That’s my dad on the right. He was a Marine in World War II. This must have been a picture of him on a break, hanging out with his friends. It’s good to see the smiles. I wish I could ask him about the picture and more about the war. He’s gone now but

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

Nibblin’ on Sponge Cake…Watchin’ the Sun Bake
Okay, this is a test…what does FOMO mean? Have you heard of this? I read about it the other day. It’s a new “problem” or “issue” people are dealing with. It stands for “Fear of Missing Out”. I’m not joking. I blame Facebook and Instagram and Twitter and whatever other social media platforms are
