“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho Namaste Friends, I am constantly amazed at how time slips by.

“When the winds of change blow…some people build walls and others build windmills”-Chinese Proverb Namaste Friends, Its spring and Mother Earth is muddy, wet, moist, blossoming, supple, and juicy right now.

Namaste friends! I miss our teacher training students! What an amazing group they were. On April 9th, eight of the most dedicated and talented individuals received their hard earned teaching certificates after completing our nine week intensive course.

Namaste Friends, Dissolution: We have all seen images of the destruction caused by our quaking Mother Earth on the densely populated island of Japan; and it breaks our hearts to see others who are helpless and in need.

I don’t know about you, but I feel like the new year just brought a whole bunch of stuff to do. There are the festive decorations to take down from…
Namaste Friends! I hope you had a chance to catch the lunar eclipse on the eve of the winter solstice. The lunatic in me was up at 1am watching that glowing, full orb gracefully receive her shadowy cloak from Mother Earth. It was so magical to watch. Its auspicious moments like that which confirm my belief in a higher power. In sanskrit, these moments of…
