Gratitude is the answer,
the one component that can convert any emotion into its necessary form. With
the feeling of gratitude joy can fully flow and pain is then so small it can be
laughed at.
Death is not painful, living is painful and magnificent and wonderful and delightful. I stepped into the other world today. Not on purpose and it was very brief but needless to say there is something so tremendous out there waiting for all of us. My initial sensation was ease, then wonderment then joy. I came back laughing. Let me explain. I play on my aerial silks daily working on my strength and mastering gravity, flipping and twirling for the pure fun of it. Today was different today something happened after hanging upside down then flipping to a hang by my armpits. I must of cut off my circulation and passed out. This all happened so quickly that my friend who was also working out didn’t even notice. I know it was only brief, but in my mind it felt like a week. I felt my self separate from my body. I was walking down a long corridor dark and totally silent, it took a moment to understand what was happening and ...
Superdome Super Love Memory 2008 I was invited to teach yoga in the superdome. At that point I had been teaching for almost a decade and was honored and excited to be one on the many teachers invited.

Something fun I’m writing a book on Fun. I’ve been doing research on what it is to have a fun life to be joyful and inspiring. This a personal journey from being a shy insecure wall flower as a young person, to embracing all of life and laughing along the way. I have challenged my self to do something everyday that is purely for the sake of fun and then to share this journey with as many people as I can. What I have found is sharing is the most fun. Laughing with others, trying new and challenging things. Being open to the possibilities that present themselves everyday. Saying yes when I feel shitty is a certain way to shift my mood. Playfulness is an attitude we can all cultivate. Life is so serious and challenging as it is. Adding the element of play is a delightful way to enjoy our days, how ever many we have. I challenge you to play today! Do something that makes you giggle from the inside then share it!!!...
