The Importance of Beauty. ~ Amanda King

via on May 21, 2013

Once upon a time, I wrote an article called, I Am Beautiful, Girls. Daily, I still get letters trickling in from people, women mostly, who can relate or want to share their experiences with me. Overall, the response to the article was overwhelming and overwhelmingly positive. There is one argument, or counterpoint, that is brought up [...]

Date a Boy who Serves.

via on May 18, 2013

In Defense of Boring Boys. Date a Boy who Travels? That’s nice if your life is about pleasure. But there’s a more exquisite joy. A dear friend of mine just shared an article “Date a Boy who Travels” on her Facebook Wall: “Love this.” I didn’t love it. But I do get it. We all [...]

Attitude is More Important than Action. ~ Lama Thubten Yeshe

via on May 18, 2013

These days, even though many people realize the limitations of material comfort and are interested in following a spiritual path, few really appreciate the true value of practicing Dharma. For most, the practice of Dharma, religion, meditation, yoga, or whatever they call it, is still superficial: they simply change what they wear, what they eat, [...]

Notes Toward a Politics of Forgiveness.

via on May 18, 2013

Ultimately, forgiveness means letting go of this world, a darkened, fractured glass through which we see love only dimly. As our frightened grip on all that is temporary relaxes, we will increasingly find our authentic strength in that which is timeless, boundless, inexhaustible, and omnipresent. Heaven is learned, not simply entered with religion’s passport.

Getting Lost Helped Me Find Myself.

I’ve moved around a little bit in my life, but this is the first place that my husband and I really have ever [...]

You’re a Plus-size Model?

via on May 17, 2013

In the fourth episode of SRO Conversations, model Kate Dillon-Levin talks with Paul and me about the definition of a plus-sized model and how the fashion industry has changed over the years as it relates to a woman’s size. Twenty years ago, models were a size 6-8 and weighed 8 percent less than the average [...]

Finding Empowerment Through Vulnerability. ~ Jenn Falk

Learning to Listen from Within A dear friend of mine recently made this post on her Facebook page, “I’m not Superwoman. I don’t have to have it all or do it all.” I’ve been thinking about this a lot the last couple of weeks because her statement rang true for me as well; it spoke [...]

A Message to Yoga Teachers, Students, Practitioners, Healers & Clients.

via on May 17, 2013

Who doesn’t love their yoga teacher? Yoga teachers are the bomb. They’re guiding their students in the classroom to feel and experience the empowering strength and unconditional love that engaging in the practice itself teaches. Who doesn’t love their healer/therapist? They’re showing their clients how to heal themselves, awaken their soul and redefine their concepts [...]

Saving Abercrombie & Fitch in 5 Easy Steps.
