In my 20’s, on a Friday night, I got home from work at 3:30am. In my 30’s, on a Friday night, I’m in bed by 10:00pm. I’ll take that trade off any day. 🧘‍♀️

For baby Rowan 🤍

The community that surrounds you
will protect and nourish you always.

From the moment we learned of your existence,
we have loved you
with the fierceness of warriors, and the gentleness of the earth herself.

We will watch in awe
as you step out
and introduce yourself to the world.

May you always have the courage
to be exactly who you are.

And when the day comes
that darkness introduces itself to you—
may you turn your gaze inward
and see that there is a light in you
that can never be eclipsed.

May you trust that if you choose
to extend this light
as an offering to the darkness,
you will watch it vanish completely,
as if it had never been there at all.

May you feel yourself smile
as you witness the light
dancing through the shadows,
dissolving everything in its path,
illuminating truth.

May you grow to understand
that this light is not only in you—
it is you. ✨

As a kid, my dad felt like Superman.
Larger than life. Invincible. Strong. Funny. Loyal. Loving.

I watched him turn raw materials into things built to last with his bare hands.
I watched him outperform people half his age without breaking a sweat.
I watched him love my mom loudly, proudly, unapologetically — the kind of love other people felt in their bodies just being near it.

I watched him step into fatherhood like it was sacred.
He gave himself to it completely. Every ounce of time, energy, and effort.

And then I watched him break.

I watched him get pulled under by the relentless waves of grief after losing my mom to cancer.
I watched him struggle to stay alive.
I watched him wish for the pain to end — and wrestle with whether ending his life might be the only way to make that happen.

I watched him wrestle with God.
I watched him battle darkness in a way that made me wonder, for the first time in my life, if this was something he wouldn’t survive.

Had he finally met something stronger than him?

And then I watched him rise.

Not all at once.
Not heroically.
But inch by inch.

I remember the moment I realized he wanted to die.
And then the moment he decided he wanted to live.

What came next was the greatest display of strength I’ve ever witnessed.

He dug himself out of hell and started crawling toward the light.
And then — he told the truth.

All of it.
The grief.
The mental health battles.
The suicidal thoughts.

He healed out loud. And he didn’t care who saw.

My dad is as blue-collar as it gets — a self-employed roofer, lives in the woods, hunts and fishes, teaches mountain-man survival skills for fun. In his world, men don’t talk about feelings. They grit their teeth, carry the load, and bleed quietly.

Watching him stand in front of his community and tell the truth changed everything.

I watched it heal him.
I watched it crack something open in the people around him.
I watched others find the courage to take off the mask and finally speak what they’d been carrying in silence.

That’s when I learned what real strength looks like.

I watched my dad start to change the world.

Thanks to earth angel / ghostwriter his story is now a book.

This morning I woke with my heart on fire.
Not the sacred kind.
The kind that scorches.

Rage greeted me before the sun.
Unfiltered. Unapologetic.
I wanted to watch something burn. To feel the alchemy of destruction. To taste the power of heat turning form into ash.

So I fed the fire.
Skipped breakfast. Doubled down on coffee.
Agni out of balance. Pitta stoked without a container.

As the caffeine rose, so did the storm.
Hate. Anxiety. Violence in my nervous system.
My body became a cage. My mind a battlefield. Thoughts clawing for escape.

Every signal from my system whispered: pause.
Slow down. Breathe. Be still.

I refused.

I knew what I needed—but I didn’t want peace yet.
I wanted impact. I wanted to fight.
Blood. Sweat. Tears. Something real.

So I moved. Hard. Fast. Manic.

My morning hike became a sprint.
I never run. I hate running.
Which made it perfect.

My hound dog felt it immediately.
He howled. He hunted.
As if my inner war had spilled into the woods.
The louder my body pushed, the louder his cry split the hollow.

We ran. And ran.
And nothing changed.

The mind still raging.
The body more irritated.
The veil thicker.

I looked for someone to blame—and my eyes met his.

Fear. Worry. Softness.

He walked to me slowly. Closed his eyes.
Rested his head against my legs.

And I collapsed.

Sobbing into his soft velvet ears.
Shaking. Gasping. Cracking open.

He didn’t move.
Didn’t fix. Didn’t flee.

He breathed.

Slow. Long. Deep.
Each breath louder than my grief.
Each rise and fall grounding me back into my body.

His breath taught mine how to remember.

My fists unclenched.
My jaw softened.
The heat dissolved into tears.

I don’t know how long we stayed there.
Time disappeared.

What I know is this:
I went from drowning in rajas—the urge to fix, change, push—
to landing in sattva. Balance. Ease. Presence.

Not through effort.
Through breath.
Through surrender.
Through being held.

This is yoga.

Not the shape of the body,
but the quieting of the fluctuations of the mind.
The remembering beneath the illusion.
The return to our own aliveness.

Today my greatest teacher had four legs, long ears, and a breath that was slow, steady and grounded.

You don’t need to fix yourself.
You need a place to feel.

A place to let your breath drop back into your body.
To move what’s been held too long.
To listen—without trying to change anything.

Every Tuesday + Wednesday
we gather from 6:30-7:45pm at The Blind Pig Kitchen
📍 236 Iron Street | Bloomsburg, PA

This is yoga that meets you where you are.
Some days steady.
Some days tender.
Movement. Stillness.
All of it belongs.

We move to wake up what’s dull.
We pause to settle what’s scattered.
We rest so the body can remember its own rhythm.

Come as you are.

Your breath knows the way.
And the world needs the real you.

Dear friend, this is my note to you — not the version of you that’s trying to improve, fix, or figure things out…
but the one underneath all of that.

The part of you that knows when something feels off.
The part that softens when you finally slow down.
The part that remembers what it’s like to feel alive.

The wisdom traditions tell us something simple and steady:
Life moves in cycles.
Bodies have rhythms.
Timing matters.

Nothing in nature rushes — and nothing is late.

You don’t need a new version of yourself this year.
You need permission to move at your own pace.
To listen instead of push.
To rest before you’re empty.
To act when it feels true, not when the world demands it.

Your body isn’t working against you.
It’s always been communicating.

When you pause long enough, it tells you what it needs.

Sometimes that looks like movement.
Sometimes it looks like stillness.
Sometimes it looks like choosing kindness — toward others, toward yourself, toward the spaces you share.

This is yoga.
Not poses.
Attention.

This is Ayurveda.
Not rules.
Relationship.

This is living in alignment with time — knowing when to begin, when to wait, when to let something unfold.

Come as you are.
Breathe.
Move in ways that make sense for your body, your life, this season.

No forcing.
No fixing.
Just remembering how to be here.

If this year asks anything of you, maybe it’s this:
slow down enough to feel your own aliveness.

It’s still there.
It always has been.
