6 Ways to Get the Love We Deserve.

via on May 17, 2013

Ain’t nuthin’ gonna change unless we realize we’re feeding our perception of reality and change our actions that support what we don’t want our lives to look like. Huh? If I want someone to always look like an asshole, then I’m going to treat them like an asshole. I’ll make sure I do and say things which [...]

7 More Ways for Yogis to Enjoy Summer. ~ Josie Huang

via on May 17, 2013

Enjoy summer’s abundance with a yogic mind. When we think of yoga, we usually associate it with practicing on the mat and asanas. While this is an integral aspect of yoga practice, there are many other ways to incorporate different elements of yoga practice, which are often neglected or due to lack of supportive opportunity. [...]

Getting Lost Helped Me Find Myself.

via on May 17, 2013

Your weakness is your strength. I woke up this morning with eyes practically swollen shut from all the crying I had done the night before, when I had gone through the oddest experience. I’ve moved around a little bit in my life, but this is the first place that my husband and I really have ever [...]

The Power of Words.

via on May 17, 2013

“Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, ‘It might have been.” ― John Greenleaf Whittier I read through some of my older blog postings just the other day—and was amazed at what I had found. You see, some many months back I had created a ‘bucket list’ of sorts—a few [...]

A Yoga Body. ~ Meghan McCracken

via on May 17, 2013

That week in my yoga classes, I was surrounded by the kind of lithe, truly tiny frames that excel immediately at yoga and consequently tend to show up more for class. And, all I could hear in my head was “You’re not a small girl…you’re not a small girl.”

How to Bring Discipline to Your Practice.

 Week 5: Share My Path Series. Could you vow, and most importantly keep that vow, to do anything for 1,000 days straight? How about 2,000 days? How about every day for the rest of your life? This week we feature Travis Eneix and his path: a meditation journey that began in a small hallway; his [...]

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 [...]

George Takei’s Response to “20 Young People Who Believe Marriage Should Be Between a Man & a Woman.” {Pictures}

via on May 17, 2013

“Our adversaries call their campaigns ‘in defense of marriage’ or ‘in protection of marriage.’ Why are they so defensive and protective? Are their marriages so fragile?” ~ George Takei Oh, how I love George Takei—who has become, perhaps, this Nation’s most-outspoken (and brilliantly cheeky) advocate of same-sex marriage. This was his reply to the article, [...]

Under the Influence of the Buddha.

via on May 17, 2013

The trouble is, temptations never end, and a true pothead can always invent a good reason to smoke. Because I’ve got a headache, a stomachache, insomnia, boredom, stress. Because it’s Saturday morning. Because the sun is setting. The list goes on forever.

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 [...]

His Holiness the Dalai Lama on Climate Change. ~ Jenna Penielle Lyons

via on May 16, 2013

But the Dalai Lama said that we should first detach ourselves from the situation in order to become objective. Forget about politics. Forget about money. Forget about territory, borders, or ego. Become objective and look at the world from the standpoint of a steward–a steward who regards his or her immediate surroundings with an insurmountable level of love and care.

The Magic of Yoga, Breathing & Meditation.

via on May 16, 2013

Photo: Jade Beall Photography Do you prefer yoga to meditation? Or meditation to yoga? For many of us in the Western world, moving our bodies is a lot easier than sitting with our unruly minds. For others, a daily yoga practice is just too much to ask, but meditation feels doable. With yoga, breathing techniques [...]

Taming the Brambling Fires: Tap Into Your Inner Peace. ~ Olivia Zino

Nothing changes, but your own perspective yet everything can change in your experience. One of life’s hardest demands is facing challenges when they arise. Giving face time to those people and places and things that only make you want to run the other way screaming, yet there you stand, tall and with a smile. If [...]

Your Intuition Is Your Answer.

via on May 16, 2013

“When you know, you know.”  I never understood this quote, until I understood it.  Nine years ago, I stood in the doorway of the house in which I currently live, and declared, “I’m home,” without ever stepping foot inside.  One month later, I moved in. Two and a half years ago, I visited my friend [...]
