happy birthday to a woman who has been inspiring me for years.
quote by gandhi
post secret is a not-so-secret pleasure of mine that i indulge in on a weekly basis just to hear another person’s untold story, to see what they have chosen to share about their life. here are a few that made me smile last week.

i have never considered myself a fan of this woman, but i am somewhat mesmerized by her mind and the daring artistry that comes pouring out of it. this song has been stuck in my head for days now simply because the video is so captivating. if it does not get your body moving, i’m not sure what will.

my precious, 5-year old nephew gave me this hand-made heart a few days ago. i think my own heart grew about 10x in size that day.
it was such a special moment when he walked up to me and offered it so sweetly, knowing how much it would mean to me.
time stopped for just a moment.
this past weekend, i taught a “deepen your practice” workshop to some very beautiful individuals in a room full of love at the sweet, little longview yoga studio.

my favorite chocolate bar
set the jar of coconut oil in a bowl of warm water until it becomes liquid. mix together liquified coconut oil, cacao and maple syrup in bowl with a fork until completely blended. stir in almonds and raisins. pour onto plastic-lined cookie sheet and set in freezer until solid. store in freezer.

there is nothing in life that compares with being completely understood and unconditionally loved by another. those people who come along and have the ability to truly do both, with a genuine concern that comes from the heart, are few and far between.
as i grow older, i realize it is the people in my life i connect with on a spiritual level that are of most importance. other than quality time in solitude and silence, i can not think of anything in the world that brings more satisfaction than a few hours with another soul who openly loves and effortlessly sees all of my thoughts and feelings that i have not yet formulated into words, hearing each one of them before they are spoken aloud.
i got to spend the past week with gina, one of my dearest friends in the whole wide world, who is a constant source of laughter, love and inspiration.
