Yesterday I got to do something I’ve never done

Yesterday I got to do something I’ve never done before and it was a blast!
-
I attended an online makeup class with @goodnessgreenish and used our new Golden hour palette to get all zooshed up!
-
After 20 years of being on stage performing it was kind of amazing to me that I’d NEVER EVER had any training in how to apply makeup!
-
I’m a no-makeup make-up look kinda girl because for the most part heavier makeup makes me feel like I’m on stage being a character.
-
But, I LOVE the looks you can create with this palette and wish I’d had options like this that could be built up to a more dramatic look when I was performing!
-
Safer beauty is something I want for each and every performer!

Looking forward to my next audio book.
-
This fall I’ve felt the need to walk in silence. A lot.
-
Today was the first day I wanted something to listen to and this book popped into my feed.
-
Has anyone read/listened to this?

Are you struggling with persistent low back pain?

Are you struggling with persistent low back pain? It is such a frustrating and at times debilitating issue to live with.

Many of us who live with this get by every day by pushing through to meet the demands of our lives. But, pushing through comes at a cost, a big cost, emotionally, physically and even financially.

When I began my yoga training it wasn't with any kind of an eye towards pain reduction. However, in the last decade, I've found that helping people get out of pain is one of the most powerful ways yoga can be applied.

When we slow movement down, become aware, and move in ranges that don't increase our symptoms we can reduce and even eradicate pain.

Sound too good to be true?

I get it. I've been there, but it is true. When we apply those simple principles, and adopt an attitude of curiosity we discover that our bodies possess an infinite capacity to heal and we can get out of pain.

If this resonates with you, I hope you will join me for my upcoming workshop,

Low Back Love
Thursday, October 29th
11:30am ET

We will meet on Zoom for an hour, spend a little time learning and then time moving to begin to explore our bodies and become more aware.

#GrittyGratitude:
I did a little journaling on gratitude and thought I'd share it here.
-
We often hold the belief that gratitude should be easy and quiet. That it's something you offer up when you're having a bad day, as though it is some kind of magic wand that offers instant transformation.
-
Genuine gratitude lives within honesty and that means acknowledging that sometimes things are just super shitty. Because real life is messy and filled with bumps and jolts and twists and turns. There aren't always Hollywood endings in real life.
-
Gritty gratitude is about living in the 'and' space. Where life can be shit AND you still notice the brilliant yellow finch on your bird feeder.
The 'and' space where remote learning is hard AND mother nature is still thrilling the world with the brilliant reds, yellows and oranges of the fall.
The space where your back can hurt AND you pause to witness the joy of a child moving their body just because they can.
Real gratitude isn't slogans painted on wood, displayed throughout your house. It's about the determination, desire and willingness to pause and notice. A conscious decision to find even the tiniest of miracles on a hard day.
-

What can you notice in the and space today?

I read this and it stopped me in my tracks. The truth of it cut through the noise of my head bringing everything to a breathless silence.
-
These are the words I’ve searched for, unable to find, the past few weeks.
-
This is the truth of now, of life, for me.
-
How often do we confuse discomfort with disaster? (Raises hand for “all. the. damn. time.)
-
But, rarely is it disaster. It is discomfort.
-
I’m gonna chew on this one some more today.

She used to be such a peanut. Now she’s a big ol’ linebacker who takes her big brother out on the regular.

These two are my copilots. They miss all of my clients who used to come to the house and love on them.

Some days the fuzz is all you need to keep going.

Keep it real: - This is the face of a 46 yo woman

Keep it real:
-
This is the face of a 46 yo woman who has been awake since 2:30am. A woman who showed up for her daughter in explaining decimals in 5th grade math and spent 2 hours driving to and being at physical therapy and then to and from dance for the same child. A woman who sat and explained digraphs and blends to her 2nd grader and sat again with him in her lap while he soaked her shirt with tears over having to write a small moment story, and listened while he did yet another YouTube video passed off as physical education class. A woman who worked with clients and lead a 1 hour workshop for her membership library.
-
A woman who walked the dogs, made the breakfasts and lunches and looks around at the mess strewn about and says fuck it and decides to sit and read her book instead of picking up. Because picking up is futile.
-
A woman who didn’t get to creating the invoice for last week’s workshop or the handouts for Saturday’s.
-
Ya’ll. I’m tired. It’s all so much. Is it Friday yet?

Every once in a while, I get super ambitious and snag something off the speed read shelf while picking up books for my kids at the library...cue staying up too late to get through the book in 7 days.

Fall class series begins on Oct 2!! Ready to love

Fall class series begins on Oct 2!!

Ready to love your body again? The process of being present and aware is incredibly powerful when we want to lower pain levels, find better function and start to love the body we live in.
-
How do we do that? By slowing down, being mindful of our movements and finding the range in which we can move with ease!
-
Hips bugging you? Low back barking? Shoulders up around your ears 24/7?
-
Join me online on the mat weekly this fall to start to unwind your tension patterns and replace them with more optimal movement. Link to sign up is in Linktree in my bio.
-
We're all in this together.
