You want to be your own. You want to do things your way. You want to live the life that truly makes you happy. Then you come out of school and get an education because that’s the way to get a job to make money to be able to buy a house, support a family and go…

Glamour

I’ve written an article on the connection between anxiety and self-respect for Dutch Glamour Magazine. Out now.

Practice II

Your life is your practice. This. Here. Your spiritual practice does not occur someplace other than in your life right now, and your life is nowhere other than where you are. You are looking for answers, insight, and wisdom that you already possess. Live the life in front of you, stay authentic to who you are…

fear

“Are you afraid? How afraid? Three stars? Four stars?” The Belgian reporter walks around the street of Brussels asking people about their level of fear. Most people are afraid they say. Because of Paris. Because of other people who are afraid. Because of what could happen. I thought I wasn’t afraid, I wouldn’t let it…

How’s your practice?

My friend Sofia is a yoga teacher. I had been doing yoga on and off for years when I met her. Going to classes once a week, stretching a little on the mat in the morning or for months nothing at all because I was too busy. She encouraged me to roll out my mat, to even…

why we are all so unhappy

I loved this piece on Gwyneth Paltrow’s blog GOOP the other day. Again I understand why it is so important to spend time in nature, to keep on questioning everything, not taking things for granted, just figuring out what’s your way to go in life and be brave. Even if it feels like exploring a dark cave…

Not only because of her message and the fact she’s risking her life and that of her family by speaking out, but mostly because she has the courage…

on resistance

What are the things that cause most stress? Time. Hurrying, making schedules, changing them, feeling rushed, wanting too much in a too small time frame. Money. It this worth this kind of money? Could I have spent it better? Do I get paid enough? Will I get my money back? Resistance. I don’t want this to…

mountain love

Just a couple more weeks and we’ll be back again to fresh air, the sound of birds and the river (and our neighbour calling her cats), water straight out of the mountain, long walks, my friends. Can’t wait.

gratitude

I sit and listen to a lecture about permaculture with a group of people when I feel like hit by lightning. The permaculture expert says: “Our whole relationship with plants and trees changed when we started to work from gratitude.” GRATITUDE I feel like I forgot about this word. But that’s is not why it’s striking me. I…
