In 1999, I stumbled into the world of teaching yoga.  I left my job as an occupational therapist, and opened a yoga studio, Seaside Yoga, in Wilmington NC.  In the years since, juggling my roles as student and teacher, running a business, cultivating my spiritual path, and just living life, I have been touched by grace in so many ways.  Now, I am dedicated to finding my voice as a writer. I welcome fellow travelers, teachers and friends along the way. 

Om Namah Shivaya!

So, I began this blog to open more…to deepen my connection to myself and to my understanding of what this life is all about.  I can continue to do the safe thing, and let people in just a scratch past the surface, but I do want to go deeper.  I have been reading my journals from the past decade, really listening to myself.  As I continue to journey back to the forum of writing, I realize that I am only telling part of the story.  I have been given this life to make the most of it.  I am my own artist, and have the freedom to choose how to create and how far and how fast to swim within the bigger current.  In the journey, in the pulse, in the letting go, there is the freedom.  I see glimpses….I can taste it, and I know that it is all there for the asking.  Now, I just need to find the right questions, I have all of the answers, some are just deeper than the others.

What are your defining moments?

What would you attempt if you knew that you could not fail?  Would you still attempt it if you knew you could fail?

What is your most freeing accomplishment to date?

Who are you…REALLY?
