“You yourself are the eternal energy which appears as this universe. You didn’t come into this world, you came out of it, like a wave from the ocean.” – Alan Watts & Each wave has a purpose. Anticipation I remember the day I heard about you. It is a magical thing really, learning that love came together to create a person. Someone who is and is not at the same time, but inevitably will BE, soon enough. And you…
“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you, so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” – Paulo Coelho Yet another season has come and gone, with what to show for it? So much. So amazingly much. This summer taught me lessons in friendship, love, honesty, communication, compassion, travel, safety, FUN and more! I am ever so grateful for…
Long drives give ample time To reflect inside. See what you find. It is fun to sing loud, let the windows down, Blow your hair around. To debate with the wind, The scenery ever-changing, Outside and within. It is easy to let the time pass- But to be active and present, That is the test. With thousands of miles left to go, States between me and my destination With what to show? Do I know what is coming? What a funny…
“Place your hands into soil to feel grounded. Wade in water to feel emotionally healed. Fill your lungs with fresh air to feel mentally clear. Raise your face to the heat of the sun and connect with that fire to feel your own immense power.” – Victoria Erickson Tune In Tune into today’s class near the base of Mt. Peale, the tallest mountain in the La Sal range, outside of Moab, Utah. Enjoy this series of poses used to help…
“The Moon loves the Sun just as shadows love light. Love your shadow until your love transforms it into light.” The New Moon, or Solar eclipse occurred at 28 degrees Leo, on August 21, 2017, at 12:30 p.m. MST. The eclipse has always been something of magic to mankind. Some praised them, others hid from them. In China, drums were beaten and rituals performed until the sun would return. In India, pregnant women were made to stay inside to avoid the…
Life is an adventure. We search, we learn, we grow. It is put together by experiences, emotions and evolving. Do not limit yourself on these. Over this past summer, my journey has escalated quickly. I am sure we have all experienced some big changes in our lives, some underlying current pushing us forward, whether we choose to acknowledge it or not. I will not go too hippy on you {yet} by going into energies and astrology, but I will just…
Over the past three summers in Moab, I have had the opportunity to meet quite a few inspirational people. One of them being Natali Zollinger, a badass lady who runs the river with true skill. When she offered the opportunity to partake in her Stand Up Paddle board (SUP) Clinic, I could not resist. Especially since the company I work with was a part of it. Fate, meet destiny! The night before the clinic started, we all met at…
Nowadays, most of us are familiar with the idea that Epsom salt baths and hot tubs can be beneficial to us in many ways. Other than just feeling fantastic. But what about mineral springs? Not too long ago, I took a road-trip with my friend Austin to Telluride, CO, where I got to experience my first hot spring! It was a neat experience (aside from the deer fly attack), and brought me to pose the question, how do hot springs benefit…
Travel alone. Find places that baffle your mind and expand your soul. For this class I went on a journey to the top of Long Canyon, by the recommendation of a friend (thanks Michelle!). This trip allowed me to let go of some expectations I had been holding on to. What I had planned to be a trip with a friend, ended up as a lone journey (still with Ocoee of course) and being very much what I needed. I…
We should be so lucky to have our worlds turned upside down. To fall in love, Crazy, stupid love. One that changes us, Completely. That makes us question everything we have ever known and believed. A love that shakes our foundations and makes us see things differently. And we should be so lucky to lose that love too. To have that new world we built up, ripped from under our feet. Because it is then that you start to form…
