    Quite some time ago, a fellow from Norway private messaged me on my Yoga Page about a natural, simple sugar called d-ribose. Of course I thought the man was trying to sell me something, until I did a little research on the subject. Instantly, I was blown away by all of the positive reviews on…

    Profundity has pulled me from what I thought was a simple path.

    “If only we would let ourselves be dominated, like by some immense storm, then we would not need names.” -Rainer Maria Rilke This quote was shared by my new instructor during Savasana in my first class with her. It hit me so deeply.  Once it hit, I removed my eye pillow in fear that I might…

  • Poem 2

    July 30, 2014 As I was getting ready this morning,I felt the front of my ankle cave in.A pain I had never felt before, A bandage became my friend.
