2011 Photo Yearbook
Happy New Year! As 2011 came to a close, I looked through the photographs I snapped on the fly and noticed a theme. An intention, unintentionally. Last March, in Japan, we were shocked into silence when Nature reminded us of

Day 88 – Don’t Question What You’re Doing
I’ve got two more days to go (after today) on my 90-day blog challenge. How about that. That these past few months have been transformative is an understatement, though it’s impossible to pinpoint when and where the changes (miniscule on

Day 84 – Be The Soul Of That Place
Who knew it could be beautiful? Today, my plan was to spend a few decadent hours reading a book in a cafe. There are only so many times a year where we, responsibility-wielding adults, are allotted the opportunity. It was

Day 83 – New York Theme
Tonight, I’m watching New York-themed films and thanking the stars that I made it here in this lifetime. A dream that I didn’t dare fully dream until one day, there was no other choice. Every time I step out into

Day 81 – Green’s So Good For The Soul
I woke up this morning, and felt like I was stepping back into my life. Pre-yoga, what was it that I did? Oh yes, I ran in the park. My bored running shoes, asleep in the closet, were suddenly front

Day 71 – And Then The Light Came
In yesterday’s post, I shared a moment that my best friend and I captured, just a few minutes before the sun rose in Sedona. Today is the continuation, and what happened after, when the light came. Because the light does

Day 70 – Dark Before Light
A few years ago, my best friend and I took a much-needed trip to Sedona, Arizona. Both of our plates carrying excessive weight at the time, we were open and willing to receive any kind of positive energy “the earth”

Day 69 – The Next Best Thing To Being Home
I never thought I’d feel at home on Fifth Avenue. But yesterday, surprisingly, I did. First, you know things are getting a bit intense in life (which I welcome…I think) when you start taking pictures of things that remind you

Day 58 – Twist of Zen: Glorious Day
New York City was glorious today. Both inside the studio where my yoga teacher training is taking place, and outside where life continues. Just look at that sky, unfiltered, untouched. All nature’s doing. During our lunch break this afternoon, I
