Do you ever feel “blah?” As I write this I am glancing from my computer screen to a window that is streaked with rain. Through the blurred glass I see the gray water of Bellingham Bay and the eternally gray Washington sky. I suddenly feel tired and in need of a hot bath and my bed. But it’s only 10 in the morning.

Time to root through my closet, create outfits, and put on a personal fashion show. Time … [Read more...] about Finding Time For “Me”…Is It Possible?

5 Reasons Why You Don’t Need a Yoga Teacher
Samadhi. Nobody can get you there except you. Okay, there may be one exception: Shakti Phat. This is when an ascended master yogi gathers all her—but typically his—spiritual energy to awaken yours. And does. Simply by touching you on the forehead. Shazam! Suddenly you see you are a drop in the ocean, and the ocean is you. Suddenly you see you are infinitesimally small, and also the size of the universe. Suddenly you know we are all made of star stuff. No doubt. No question.
