    I had a conversation with a woman who does massages, and she shared that sometimes while massaging a body, it will release sorrow.  She also knows that there are oils that will help the body release emotional stress from the… Continue reading

  • Taking care of myself.

    It is disheartening to feel and watch my body in yoga after a couple month break.  In places where I used to be able to easily touch my toes, I have to strain, stretch, breathe and hold on, barely.  … Continue reading

  • An Old Friend I outgrew.
