Thoughts, Bites, and Love
There is something wonderfully liberating about driving somewhere new without using your maps for direction… I just bought my first car two days ago, after biking 10 miles a day for almost two months and carrying it up multiple flights of stairs on the daily.I had no idea I would be living in a new […]
It feels like I haven’t posted anything on here in 12,000 years. The pieces I have written this past year may surface someday, but I felt as if I couldn’t share my thoughts when I was writing from a place of confusion and disorientation. It felt ingenuine to preach peace when all I knew was […]
Today I burned my papers To disconnect myself. To remove what was, and become something else. Today I’m rid of my identity that I put in a clean box. While trying to be found I just became more lost. Today I said goodbye to all that I once knew. I made a vow to try, […]
You have a purpose in your life. However, sometimes this concept feels harder to grasp. A couple years ago, I went through a period of immense stagnation. It was in the winter. The first glimpse into this painful period was right before Christmas, where I could barely get out of bed. I got past it. In […]
My morning started with sleeping in past my alarmI woke up tired and groggyUltimately with a low vibeI performed my usual morning routine and it helped…But as the day continued I noticed my mind drifting to anywhere but the present moment I was thinking about past events and how I wish they would have beenI […]
You are worthy. You are worthy. You are worthy. Repeat this to yourself on a daily basis. What do you want in this life and what do you think you can achieve? Now compare it to what you dream to achieve. Are these two lists different? If they are, rethink your lists. Where are you […]
I remember sitting in my room one day with the great urge to create something.I decided to decorate a wall full of pictures, quotes and artwork that I found value in. Stuff I had accumulated from antique stores or adventures with friends. Stuff seemingly meaningless to anyone else, yet wildly important to who I am.It […]
Who am I? Who do I think I am? Do I really think I am capable of making a blog? What will everyone think? What am I doing? A yoga teacher, really? Am I doing the right thing? Where am I going? What is the point? Does she hate me? Why does she hate me? […]
Sometimes we need those days of just driving around in the rain, in the cities that your best friends and you used to hangout in during high school Sometimes we just need those moments of reflection, to just view your past situation from your latest viewpoint I’ve been consciously trying not to reflect too much […]
In current times, I constantly hear people say, “I can’t wait for life to be normal again” (I too am criminal of this) and although this statement has innocent intentions, there is a flaw with it. Life is not divided between normal and abnormal Maybe some try to view it this way, but ultimately this […]
For such a simple statement– it is very impactful. Our minds are our greatest weapons. We must look after them. Our minds are what can shift our outlook from “glass half empty” to “glass half full.” Without looking after our minds—sanity would cease to exist. It is our minds that create our present, past and […]
I recently joined the world of gardening. My decision came after a series of events: I bought a juicer, started selling fresh pressed juice, and before the business even took off—I went out of business. What I realized quickly into my “business” was I was wildly unprepared. I had no idea what I was doing, […]
I think Tuesdays may be my favorite day of the week. I couldn’t tell you why, but there is something about starting your week off where everything feels so possible and in arm’s reach. And lets be real, Mondays are just a practice run. So, as I sit here with some tea, just thinking about […]
I live my life with evolution in mind. In my eyes, everything has purpose that will ultimately contribute to my own evolution, the evolution of the world around me, and mankind itself. When keeping this in mind, I not only uplift myself but uplift my soul. I exercise this with words of affirmation, executed actions […]
Time makes prisoners of us all. Prisoners to a constructPrisoners to an inevitable end.And prisoners to a world we once knew.The key is to break free from time. Break free from envisioning the end. And break free from the world you once knew. We are all just pieces of a puzzle, trying to find our […]
I am sitting at a restaurant in Manhattan on 2nd Avenue. The sounds of the city are around me and there’s a gentle breeze. I am alone and feel at peace. It is 9:46pm and I am connected with the world around me in so many different ways. I exist in so many different ways. […]
I wasted many years of happiness convincing those around me to believe in the ideas and goals I had set out for myself. It took me a long time to realize it doesn’t matter, and attempting to change opinions was mentally draining. Sometimes those around you, even those closest to you: it could be your […]
What exactly is the purpose of fear? If we go back in time, fear was just the mechanism to keep us protected. For example, when facing a giant bear, which could certainly kill you, your mind sends signals for your heart for it to pump faster, your pupils get dilated, and you start breathing faster. […]
I want to be light. Light enough to have the heart compacity of the entire universe. To make each and every person I come to know, recognize their beauty and worth.I want to always be true to myself, to be good to my body, and to walk with faith having confidence in where I stand. […]
The Cool Kids When you look in the mirror, what do you see?Are you proud of yourself?…Are you disappointed? Do you still remember those kids we used to be?The ones who wanted to be doctors, lawyers, and even rockstars?The ones who had grass-stains on their jeans & the missing teeth?You liked me for me. We […]
This past week I found myself coming across so many pictures and memories from high school, college, and as close as just a year ago. I find it amazing to look back on these times, which were not so long ago, and recognize my personal growth. The takeaway that I came up with from reflecting on […]
A yoga instructor once pointed out to me the beauty in being able to separate what your mind is telling you versus what your body is vocalizing. For example, when we are moving through a flow or holding a posture and lighting a fire within our body, all we want to do is rest. But […]
