A healthy, easy treat to put together, that can be ready in 30 minutes or less? Yup, it is that easy, sweet and delicious. I am a sucker for a treat. Especially one with chocolate and coconut! I love power-balls, but sometimes they are a bit too messy to make and clean up. I decided to try something different, and after some other inspirations, I ended up with my very own raw truffle delight! All you need… Ingredients: 1/4 Cup Coconut…
This video highlights the adventures of Jaipur! With a very tired me reviewing my experience of my first Vipassana, which leads into the birthday tour of the city. Shoutout to Dylan for a good amount of this footage and for being such an awesome adventure buddy! I know I said in the video that one of the first things I wanted to do was write, but as I sat down and looked at the blank page in front of me,…
India was an endeavor. Please excuse my tired ramblings in the video, over two days of international travel can do that to a person… It is funny where life can lead you, the many paths, windows, and doors you may come across… I never thought of Germany as one of my first choices as for a place to go, yet when the opportunity to live there became a reality I found myself in Munich. And grew exponentially because of it….
When it comes to traveling, I think there is one part in particular that stresses us out more than most. Packing. Especially when you are going abroad and not sure what you would be able to find in the stores there, getting out of your comfort zone a bit. So I thought I would take the time to sit down with you and discuss what I have found to be the best things that I ended up being abroad. What…
Amidst a white stone balcony overlooking a green garden just outside the “Pink City” of Jaipur, I write the first words I have been able to put to page in nearly two weeks. When I started this adventure I knew it would be challenging, but I had no idea how much it would change me. Getting There Leaving Rishikesh after five weeks was an odd mixture of emotions. Excitement for the next part of the journey… sadness for leaving behind…
“A woman in harmony with her spirit is like a river flowing. She goes where she will without pretense and arrives at her destination prepared to be herself and only herself.” – Mary Angelou The river won my soul a few years back. On a midnight float down the Colorado, I encountered my first rapids with some remarkable Moab souls and have never looked back to the girl I was before that night. So when I saw an Ashram that…
Greeting the day with tea and crossing the Ram Jhula; feeling the uneasy yet steadiness of the suspension bridge above the clear blue-green water of the Ganga shimmering below. Bodies and bikes buzzing around in the busy dance of morning- the makings of an adventure. My first time in an autorickshaw, crammed with people as it climbed up and around the foothills of the Himalayas. Dropping us on the side of the road as we waited for the bus that…
Every time I go somewhere, I find a new part of myself. Every new experience is a part of you waiting to be revealed. How you reveal it is up to you. Are you going to be open to it, or closed off? While I was a bit tentative my first week in India, I have been opening up more each day, or at least trying to. The course is definitely challenging, and revealing to me aspects of myself I…
Hari Om everyone! This week I am writing from Rishikesh, India. After three years I have decided to go for my 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) with the Rishikul Yogshala Ashram. It was not a light decision, as this would be the first time I have traveled to this side of the World, and alone at that. But from the seed of the idea, I was excited. And now here I am! So, what could I possibly have to…
“In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.” – John Muir I am learning that nature and my soul are inseparable. You cannot take one away from the other. My heart longs to be under the stars, my body aches to walk along a dirt path. My ears listen for the rustle of the wind as my eyes seek the abundant colors of the sun rising and setting. A full day in nature is more living…
