I’ve always found words to be a powerful thing. Words in the form of a story can have a way of transporting you to another time and place. Words can build up or tear down someone’s identity and self-esteem. Words can spur others to action and create social movement. One thing I’ve come to realize…

Reflection: July
“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” ― Søren Kierkegaard Each month, I set aside a chunk of time to reflect on the previous month: memorable moments, lessons I learned, how I spent my time, how I’m different, who/what I’m grateful for, improvements for next month, and goals to work toward….

Stay Grounded
It’s easy for me to get caught up in the rush of crazy arm balances or funky inversions, to see how far my body with bend or how high I can fly. But if I am not grounded, my excitement doesn’t matter much. You can’t expect to soar if you don’t have a firm foundation,…
