There are a lot of “never” and “always” statements I said when I was younger like, “I’ll never wear heels,” or “I’ll never wear makeup,” or “I’ll always love climbing and snow,” or “I’ll never own my own business.” I think that I can officially say that all of those “always and nevers” have been

An age old question. Sometimes worded as, “Why are we here?” I’ve asked myself this question and I’m guessing you have too. It wasn’t until I was on a meditation retreat that I experienced the answer. It didn’t happen through my mind, but an experience – a knowing that came in an unexpected moment. My

The first time I went to a silent meditation retreat in 2003 it was for 10 days. I’d never meditated before, much less for 10 days. And the most horrifying part going into it was knowing I couldn’t talk to anyone for 10 days. Would my head implode? What would I find in there? I

Okay – you might be thinking a certain kind of luv, like, you know, the self-pleasure kind of luv. That’s important too, but what I’m talking about here is the heart centered luv – for your body. I think about loving my body in two ways: one is the physical kind of love, the other

I had the “pleasing disease” for awhile. I wanted everyone to like me, not say no to others, over work, not get enough sleep, suppress my anger and resentment that I was feeling because I had overextended myself, and go on each day just like that. Until I got sick for 2 years. Then things
