2020 has been uncomfortable for us all—what an opportunity we've had to grow. We spend our lives trying to be comfortable when we should welcome uncomfortableness…
Silence
Human beings and nature are so intimately connected, yet we act as though we are somehow separate, ignoring all the many lessons we are graced by every day.
The Hidden Wisdom of a Tree
With a quiet and open mind, we can learn from the majestic beauty of the deeply rooted tree that only knows how to reach for the sky.
Surrender
People talk about the power of the mind. I think the real power is knowing when to lose the mind. Not trying so hard to conceptualize everything and stress over the things we can’t control.
PART 2 OF “AND IT BEGINS”—NEXT STOP INDIA
The way I see it, I could either choose to become the victim or the student.
AND IT BEGINS: INDIA—BHUTAN—THE DALAI LAMA—14-DAY SILENT VIPASSANA MEDITATION RETREAT
For reasons which go deeper than I even know, I can only listen to one thing: the overwhelming learned surrender that lies deep within my heart.
Final Lessons From Our Journey On The Camino de Santiago (PICS/VIDEO)
We are all learning. We are all growing. We are all figuring out who and what we are—and what’s important to us. And if we’re sharing a life with someone, being our most authentic and best selves can most certainly be a challenge.
DAY ELEVEN: ALL LESSONS BIG AND SMALL, ALL WISE AND WONDERFUL
No matter what we may be facing, or how we may be physically feeling, life is what we make it…
DAY TEN: All's Fair In Love And Eye Contact
Why do I take such deep pleasure in witnessing my Luc struggle? If I’m going to be completely honest, I want to fall to the ground in hysterics every single time he shows the least bit of discomfort.
DAY NINE: Luc’s Way
Experiencing the Camino de Santiago with Luc feels more like experiencing the Camino with Clark Griswold.
DAY EIGHT: Finding Life Lessons On The Camino
I needed space today to revel in the lessons I find on the Camino de Santiago.
DAY SEVEN: Everyone Is Equal On The Camino de Santiago
That’s what I love about the Camino de Santiago. It grounds you and makes you see everything differently, and everyone equally.
DAY SIX: Melting Into Each Other's Worlds Through Our Differences
I had every intention not to compare the Camino I did five years ago with this one…
DAY FIVE: Never Take Your Body For Granted
My mind and spirit are more alive than ever. My body, well, that's another story.
DAY FOUR: Beautiful Surrender As We Reach Pamplona
Luc and I really surrendered into one another today; knowing this is our Camino, a shared experience between two very different souls, yet two souls who have a common great need of goodness.
DAY THREE: When It Rains, It Pours
It’s funny how life is, as soon as you’re at an all-time high, it seems to slap you upside the head like Mohammad Ali in his prime.
DAY ONE & TWO: Love, Sweat, And Falling Into Our Groove
Last night I’ve never felt so happy being Luc’s wife. I didn’t need to be seen. I had everything I wanted sitting right next to me.
The Journey Begins: The Morning Of Day One Of The Camino de Santiago With My Love
Usually, I take my journeys alone. That’s when I feel I grow the most as a human being. Nevertheless, I’m about to once again take on the Camino de Santiago, but this time with my husband Luc.
