Hello, My Friend, In this post, I am going to share my recent experiences with YOGA! The truth is I was afraid of YOGA and I did not realize why. I just smiled when someone mentioned going to a class or participating. The Universe finds a way to help us heal and work with our fears; fears we recognize and those we don’t. I now realize that I had a disconnect with YOGA! Some many years ago while on a journey seeking weight loss I visited a center for YOGA as a part of my program. I was so determined to avail myself of every aspect of the program. I was green/new to the form of YOGA. My experience that […]
My New Love, Rose Quartz
Have you ever been drawn to something continuously and not really understood why or what was the significance? Have you been attracted to something over time and just past if off and then you find out what it’s meaning it and why it has so much meaning to you and where you are in that moment. Well, I have that story! At some point, in January of 2018, I began preparation for the new year and what I would focus my attention on for new ReFRESH offering and what I wanted for my life. I love JOY and I knew that JOY would always be at the forefront of my teachings and in my life. I was becoming so […]

IN SEARCH OF JOY!
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR MORE JOY IN YOUR LIFE? I have truly enjoyed my passionate study of JOY. It seems so illusive to many and yet I can feel it even when I see the word, when I get quiet or when I see a baby, my own baby or a puppy. In a flash these experiences illicit the automatic JOY filled emotional responses. Would you agree? What are the experiences, moments and memories that bring forward the same emotion of JOY for you? In our ReFRESH workshops we talk about what brings you JOY? We spend 30 days documenting and journaling our joy filled activities. We are in pursuit of JOY. What are we pursuing? We are in pursuit […]

ARE YOU JOYFULLY FOCUSED FOR 2018?
Just twenty-eight days into the new year and guess what? Some are facing an inordinate amount of stress, fear, anxiety, self-loathing, doubt, and confusion. Some (not any of us) have already given up and just can’t take any more. The societal pressures of perfection, planning, goals, resolutions, and vision are just too much to bear. Some are falling down the rabbit hole of comparison and questioning their self-worth. How did we arrive here in just twenty-eight days? B R E A T H E! The good news is there is still a possibility of 337 days before we find ourselves vested in these same activities. Let’s be grateful that we don’t have to have it all done by today or […]
#ReFreshJoy This Holiday Season
What YOU Focus on Expands Have you noticed that when you plant a thought in your mind, it expands! For example, if I become focused on a type of car, everywhere I look I find that car in my view. I was never focused on that car in the past and now I see it everywhere I go! Or perhaps a song gets in your head and you find yourself humming that tune or singing that tune or hearing that tune everywhere. Well it stands to reason that “what we focus on expands.” With that in mind I have a challenge for you! Together, let’s find JOY in all the places in our world. This holiday season, let’s set […]
