My dad's passing on November 10th, 2009 had a monumental impact on me.  What do you do when the only person in this world who "sees" you is gone? I felt lost, abandoned, and scared.  Despite being blessed to have so many loving people around me, during those moments, I felt like my life had lost its purpose.  I realized that many of the things that I did and wanted to do were connected to my father. While there was definitely a part of me that wanted to run, hide, and even die, the other part of me knew this thinking wouldn't serve me or his … [Read more...]

"I just want to do God's will. And he's allowed me to go to the mountain. And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land." ~Martin Luther King Day 22:  God's Will I shared part of my day with my beautiful sister.  We did Yoga in the morning and then we went to our favorite cafe in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.  We spoke of our plans, our hopes, and our dreams.  We spoke of how we want to continue growing and learning. We want to do "God's will.  … [Read more...]

Day 14: Feb 27th, 2011 – Yoga for Oneness

February 28, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Yoga is about clearing away whatever is in us that prevents our living in the most full and whole way. With yoga, we become aware of how and where we are restricted -- in body, mind, and heart -- and how gradually to open and release these blockages. As these blockages are cleared, our energy is freed. We start to feel more harmonious, more at one with ourselves. Our lives begin to flow -- or we begin to flow more in our lives. ~Cybele Tomlinso My gift for day 14: Offering my Yoga practice to God These days my intention has been to "flow" with the day to see where it takes me.  … [Read more...]

Day 5: Feb 18th, 2011

February 19, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Another beautiful Spring day in NYC. My gift today was a walk with my childhood friend who is now a Spiritual Leader in the community.  I'm so grateful that we have been able to reconnect after so many years.  We went to my one of my favorite cafes... my treat. The conversation and the walk set the tone for the rest of the day.  It feels good to be seen and understood on this level. It is a blessing to have a safe space to speak candidly about faith, love, and God/Universe/The One... I'm humbled and grateful.  Thank you, Thank you! Namaste, RA … [Read more...]

Day 3: Feb 16th, 2011

February 17, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Today I was asked by a friend to check out a computer connection that didn't seem to be working properly.  I initially thought I wasn't the best person for the task since I'm not very techy, but I decided it couldn't hurt to try. I said a lil prayer for guidance. I checked out the PC and tried to connect a plug into the computer that upon the first try didn't seem to fit.  I put the piece down on the table and almost walked away from it, but an inner voice asked me to try it again.  I did and it worked!  I solved the computer connection problem and was rewarded with the biggest … [Read more...]
