Release the Past & Create a New Now
Learn how to create a life more in line with your hopes and desires. When we hold on to our memories or experiences of the past, we block our ability to live a life full of the things we want in our future. Our energy is directed into remembering versus living in the now. Releasing the past is simply a decision. It is a choice to create a new habit that brings us closer to what we want in the future. Please join Silver Kim and me at a special retreat from March 21-24 to bring the Spring back into our lives by doing our own internal housecleaning. We will explore and release the habits that...

Enough. I know there are many saying this tonight, after yet another school shooting. Enough. Our children are being killed. What has happened to our society? This is not okay. The time has passed to cluck our tongues and turn the channel, to drown ourselves in our addictions so that we don´t notice what is happening in the world around us. We have the power to make a change, to shift the way the world is headed. Now is the time. How many more must suffer? Thirteen years ago, I sat in a very different seat than I do today. I sat in a posh office in the Los Angeles headquarters of the Motion...

I spent the last few days clearing out remnants of another life – a size 14 wardrobe consisting mainly of business suits and evening dresses. As I tried on each piece of clothing from my life as a corporate executive, to see if there was anything that still fit, I was continually amazed that there was once so much more of me. I just felt like me now, after three years living as a size 6. Right-sizing was the buzzword when I left the corporate world. After this exercise, the word has taken on a broader meaning. My physical form was not the only thing that was right-sized over the course of...

Sometimes we think that transitions are going to break us. These periods can feel like a time of chaos and confusion, when we’ve left the steady shore of all that we know and are floating free in turbulent waters with no moorings. These periods of chaos are a natural part of the growth cycle. They can be an incredibly creative period, when new ideas and directions are limitless. It is sometimes precisely that – being in a place of having no limits or boundaries – that can be the most overwhelming. As human beings, we are infinitely more powerful than we usually give ourselves...

On the Road (2009) “Excuse me, Miss, are you alright?” I opened my eyes as I came out of a prolonged side twist, and looked up into the alarmed eyes of the pool technician who cautiously crept towards me. Apparently, I’d been too still for too long. After assuring him that I was not in distress, that I was practicing something called y-o-g-a, he left me with a puzzled shake of his head. At each motel, the reaction was slightly different. Across Ohio and Illinois, we found out that the small workout rooms were best avoided. Shortly after we two women in our yoga clothes walked past the...

(Excerpt from Do You Think You Will Break?) New York 2009 I arrived back in the States just in time for the holidays and to debut the new me for my entire family at our annual celebration. I withstood the doubletakes as well as the Christmas cookies, and enjoyed being with my loved ones from an open-hearted and grateful place. What would the New Year hold for me? I didn’t know, but trusted it would continue to bring me closer to what I wanted in life. My task now was to define what that was. Perhaps one year off was not enough… To even put myself in a position to begin that task, I had to...
