How to Cry in Public

I’m sitting in a Delta Sky Club somewhere in the United States with tears falling down my face. One by one, I let the tears fall. Earlier in the month, I was traveling abroad in an unfamiliar area surrounded by luxury and opulence I’d only seen in magazines. As I was...

Most asked question I get

You know the most asked question about meditation I get? It’s not… how do you meditate? It’s not… what do you listen to when you meditate? Or even what position (is your body in) when you meditate? It’s WHEN do you find the time to meditate? I’ve posted many photos of...

Necesito Ayuda. I NEED HELP!

As I write this, I’m on my final leg back to the United States after a couple weeks traveling in Spain. Before I left, I offered to YOU, the first few who responded a complimentary 30 minute 1:1 session with me. I knew I was leaving town and needed to hold some off...

What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger…

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!" Well, that’s what “they" say anyway. Those words are hard to embrace when you're curled up in a ball wondering what the h*l* is going on in your life! This week was no exception. What started as an innocent family vacation...

Be Happy and Follow Your Joy

Seems like such a silly overused word, doesn’t it? Happy. We hear it all the time. What does it mean to you and why on earth would you want to be happy? For me, happy means, being content no matter what. People tell me.. “Just be happy. Do what makes you happy.”...
