A new year. A new moment to reflect. New chances. New lessons. New is good. But in the midst of our scurrying is a quiet, yet powerful energy. It reminds us that in our haste to shed away the last lingering touches of the year past, it is also time to honor the old [...]
Yoga has always been a part of my adult life. The holistic adventurer in me was drawn to the physical and spiritual benefits of yoga. There have been periods in my life when stepping onto my yoga mat was a daily ritual and others when I was lucky to engage my yoga practice once [...]
I love sacred ritual. As a child, images of ritual consisted of church pews and somber hymns. Over time, my connection to indigenous culture grew strong as my soul led me toward rituals that were rooted in Yoruba, Kemetic, Native American, and Hindu cultures. The praise and fellowship were similar in that it was full [...]
I had a vision. There were faces. Loving. Supportive, and strong faces encircling me as I sat in surrender and peace.

New Year’s Eve evokes many visions. Friends, partying, joy, food, laughter. Mine was filled with a gentle excitement filled with laughter, smiles, and prayers.
