Sharing mindfulness

Before the storm reached us, I had the blessing of sharing mindfulness to public school educators at the CENTEX teacher training in Batangas.

During these intense, mad weeks, I felt I needed this most.

Intention. Attention. Attitude.

It is bright now. It is as if nothing happened. But...

There are no words but a borrowed poem by Rashani...

The Unbroken

There is a brokenness
out of which comes the unbroken,


a shatteredness


out of which blooms the unshatterable.


There is a sorrow

beyond all grief which leads to joy


and a fragility


out of whose depths emerges strength.

There is a hollow space


too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,


out of whose darkness


we are sanctioned into being.

There is a cry deeper than all sound


whose serrated edges cut the heart


as we break open to the place inside


which is unbreakable and whole,


while learning to sing

My tapestries have come to tell me something...

About 9 years ago, I got this when I had so little. It hung on the wall of my little studio and watched me go through changes, waiting for me to reunite with Yoga.

It reappears...

This was watching my bed. My friend Steff got it from India. I thought I lost this as I could not find it for years. It re-emerges...

Diwali Lights

I love that there is a festival meant for lights. It is beautiful celebrating Ganesha and Lakshmi in radiance, welcoming peace, happiness and abundance in our home. 

Setting up during the day.

Lighting up in the evening

Beautiful lights at night

May your life be filled with hope, peace, goodness and light! Happy Diwali!
