A word that takes many meanings, but generally means “to go well”. It is how I end every yoga class. And quite honestly, I can’t think of a better way to wish someone along their way….to wish them well, to be loved, fed, content, at peace….to have a good day, to laugh, to be happy, to find joy in little moments.
Yoga is something I fell in LOVE with in college. I got certified to teach, I taught, and then for some reason, I stopped. It’s funny how life can get in the way of the little things that you love…if you let it. SO, here I am back at it and loving it. The one thing that calms my ever running mind…and it’s never felt better to utter that simple little word at the end of a session.
The picture was taken in Honolulu. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax…at the beach, next to the ocean, in Hawaii…I think I can make do!
Much love today…and Namaste. :)

Today is for Sheye. A beautiful friend of mine who lives in lands far away that I can only dream of visiting one day. Because I admire her. Because she inspires me. Every day without even knowing. It’s not just her pictures and words (which I swear she HAS to sprinkle something special into), but it’s also her strength. On days where she feels weak, she has so so SO many people viewing her as a pillar of strength. Because she has done THEE most respectable and admirable thing a mother can do to honor their child after losing them…she has shared Ava’s light. And my what a bright light that is. A light that has circled the world times over and bonded complete strangers. A light that has made mothers better mothers…has made them realize that mis-matched clothes, messy rooms, and lop-sided piggies just don’t matter. I have no idea why Ava was chosen. I never will. I will never understand why good people have to hurt so much. It is absolutely heart-breaking. What I do know is that Ava has forever changed me. On those days where my “problems” seem so large, she dances through my mind saying, “no, no, no…not really.” I do know that she has changed people all over this WORLD. On this earth for three years and six months and what a movement she has made…that is something most people will never do in their lifetime.
Tomorrow marks one year since Ava left this earth. What can you really say to a mother on that day? I don’t think I have those words. So Sheye, thank you so much for sharing Ava with this world. I really don’t have words, but I do want you to know that I have said extra prayers, carried extra thoughts, and cherished the color pink even more these past few days. You are an absolutely remarkable family and the only way to get through this is one breath at a time. Sending much love your way…
And to Ava…for being so magical, so beautiful, so extraordinary. Thank you.

Much love today,
