A Life Inspired

Woooooooooo Hoooooooooo!!!  Planuary is almost over!  I tend to take January to retreat a bit, rest, make some plans, sort through things and thoughts, events, situations, people, places and things. Now that February is literally a few days from now, I feel a sense of renewal, letting go of 2019 and actually many years prior that have kept me stagnant.  Stagnant in feelings, holding onto experiences that have shaped who I am, (and all experiences are designed for growth and evolving) and forgetting to be true to myself if that means coming off in a way that is not working for other people and situations in my life. I feel pretty strongly that everyone should be living their most authentic lives....it is a dream sometimes to be able to have that feeling, liberation, to just "BE"...it is not easy or everyone would be doing it.  What it feels like these days, in our culture, is that no one feels they need a filter.  People just say whatever is on their minds and while I

Well hello!!   A little behind this week.  Has that ever happened to you?  You have a great plan and then something gets in the way and then one more thing, and another and another...... Good thing this week’s pose is Tree Pose…..If this doesn’t get you balanced and grounded, well…..it just should is all.  My life and work do go hand in hand. I work every day finding balance in some way, shape or form, and to also model my goals that I have for my clients.  That does not mean I do not enjoy the occasional cocktail, bubbles or wine….in addition, perhaps a semi-indulgent meal. That said, I work to adhere to the 80/20 rule – this means, to me, I am mindful during the weekdays but the weekends allow me, as in, I allow me, to relax the restraints a little and yes sometimes I go a little overboard….BUT I am finished, and have been for a while, apologizing to myself, or anyone else for that matter, NOR do I feel like I need to explain myself, in many areas of life.  I am who I am, and I

Inspired Thoughts… The first part of the year is equally refreshing and frustrating. So many things we have committed to and yet we wait for the new year to have a clean slate.  Everyone is "detoxing" or "cleansing"  and that is totally awesome!  Sometimes a reset is just what one needs.  But.......how will you not only detox your body but also detox your stress of the "to-do's" you place on your shoulders? I am just an email or call away. If you want to jazz up your water a little bit today, feel free to infuse it with fresh fruit, cucumbers or fresh herbs. This can be a refreshing way to make sure you’re getting your water. Here’s how: first, if you’re not using organic produce, be sure to peel off the skin. Wash it well to get off any residue. If you’re using larger produce (like pineapple or cucumbers), cut it into small pieces. Simply add about ¼ cup (you don’t need much!) into your water, and if you have some on-hand, you can add

Inspired Thoughts……Yoga Pose of the Week............... As you open your heart in this week’s pose, open your mind and allow a new perspective to be seen. As we become more comfortable in our own lives, we also lean toward a narrowing perspective and thought process. We usually do not even realize that we become stuck in our own beliefs, which, is a positive – yet we can be so tightly connected to our own that we dismiss other’s. Be open to new experiences – of course, they must feel right to you – but the more we try to leave the comfort zone, the more we learn and begin to appreciate others and our world more. NAMASTE and have a BEAUTIFUL week! Mindi Greetings!  From today and beyond, you’re going to feel lighter, leaner, more energized, and overall feeling AMAZING.  Keeping an open mind to the new year (and beyond) will help you take stock in what is left in 2019, what you brought with you, and what is still to be discovered. This is the time of year when everyone wan
