A whole lot of Pomp & Circumstance for our Littlest Loves yesterday! 🎓🎓

Day in day out … step by step … cheering them towards this milestone moment of walking across a stage holding something their hard work earned in their hands, is the highest honor!

We love you so much Yas & Lil and are your loudest cheerleaders! We cannot wait to see what’s next for each of you and will be by your side as you keep making your way ☺️

Quiet Work.

So often, truly worthwhile professional pursuits take place behind-the-scenes, far from the recognition they deserve.

Over a few days one week ago in Perdido Key, AL, I had the privilege of presenting alongside Dr. Kellie Pope to an incredible group of professionals supporting families across Alabama through the Children’s Trust Fund.

These are the dedicated, mission-minded, servant-hearted individuals doing the quiet and essential work that strengthens families and communities every day. Their commitment, leadership, compassion, and passion were evident in every conversation and interaction.

I am grateful for the opportunity to educate, lead, and spend time with people so deeply invested in the well-being of families.

Thank you to the entire CTF team for the integral roles each of you plays, and for the opportunity to equip you with new knowledge regarding the vital link and interconnected health of your brains and your bodies. It was an honor to help you learn and acquire new skills relevant to navigating both your work and personal life during those days together.

A special thank you to Ami Landers of Auburn University, Claire Stimpson of CTF, and Amanda Bergeron of The University of Alabama for their deeply intentional work in creating such an engaging and memorable conference.

Dr. Kellie Pope and I developed our program, Cultivating Work–Life Harmony, to meet this growing need for evidence-based education and practically applicable skills within organizations of every discipline.

If you’re curious and would like to learn more and explore how we might bring these assets to your organization, please reach out!

Also, you should know I snuck in a “War Eagle” or two 😉

Out of Many, One People.

This is our National Motto and it’s woven into the fiber of all of our beings.

Jamaicans, individually and collectively, are the strongest, most resilient, resourceful, creative, talented, hard working, kindest, funniest, jovial, generous, spiritual, respectful … well the qualities go on and on and on….

You’ll most likely see images of real damages and devastation that take your breath away and evoke a deep sadness in you. A Category 5 Hurricane wouldn’t do anything less.

But know the spirit of the Jamaican people is unshakeable, if not the ingredient that makes us rise from adversity … time and time, again. You may even want to take some notes.

Sharpen your focus to see and notice that fortitude while the spotlight is on this most recent natural disaster. And, whatever is in your means to contribute to the repair and recovery … energetically or financially … please send it.

The Jamaican Government has set up a website to provide those desiring to relief aid at this time. You can visit supportjamaica.gov.jm to find an organization to donate to.

I do not know who to credit this beautiful image of our Coat of Arms that I’ve used here, to. Please let me know if you do.

Do you know the feeling of a broken heart?

Not an angry one. Or sad. Not an indignant one either … but a shattered, deeply pained and raw in its aching heart.

I hope that you do.

It is what makes you a human.

Don’t lose that feel… or forget it either.

Maybe this is a practice for you today:

Stand in front of a mirror with your hands over your heart.
Don’t look away.
Deep breaths.
Slow ones.
Slower.
For as long as you feel it necessary to remember miraculousness.

And recall that every other set of eyes you meet through your day has a beating heart beneath the upper part of their ribcage … slightly tilted to the left … just as you do.

Its beautiful design has chambers, weight and a rhythm that signifies life and a Life.

Lungs that fill with air are the sign too.

Start there.

Now give your head a few shakes.

Be curious.
More curious than you’ve ever been before…

About who you see in front of you…
If not outwardly in a genuine exchange yet, then at least internally in an honest dialogue with yourself.

Words do damage, lift and/or heal … said in your mind or out of your mouth.

Be wise.
Choose wisely.

Do not look to anyone else to tell you who is worthy. Search yourself.

I implore you to never regard yours more important than theirs … not the heart nor what breaks it.

Keep yours open … and warm.

Cold, dark and unseen is what grows indifference … malice … and a disconnection that cannot illuminate what is inarguably true.

Beneath the skin and outer covering, our insides are mostly identical … in sinew and synapses.

The layout is nearly all the same.

So what does separate?

Your soul… and just how you regard and decide to treat another being.

This is a measure of your heart too.

It is.

—————

Hold hearts, friends.
Hold. Hearts.

They are more fragile than we realize.

❤️,
me

A week ago I spent my birthday in London because my most favorite humans conspired to give me the gift of a lifetime filled with head full of dreams come true.

Core memories aren’t just for the kids. And there will be times when they are the ones who have created them just for you.

Let’s have a spot of tea so I can show you all of my videos and photos and chat your whole ear off about it all.

On July 3 of last year, just a little over 12 months ago, Hurricane Beryl devastated Treasure Beach and many areas of St. Elizabeth in its path.

In April of this year, 10 months post this disaster of nature, I offered another yoga retreat at Kotch Villas again, for the sixth time. And at the beginning of leading our final practice that morning I looked up to see the bright pink blooms of the frangipani tree right there poolside. I was immediately reminded of the conversations I had with Sally and the other Kotch team members that cared for us about the resilience and the nourishing support they each offered each other during those days.

I was also brought to awe in that same moment in the recognition of how nature knows exactly what to do to repair itself and carry on - even in what might feel like the end of an age but undeterred into the next.

The inspiration for this next retreat intention dawned that day and felt Divine.

If these words are landing in front of you right now, it may feel the same to you.

I’ve intentionally chosen for the spaces to be limited on the retreats I lead in order to purposefully harness the energy of this setting which will inspire a subtle … or major … transformation for you.

I’ve also found that what you receive and take with you really just depends on why you’ve said “yes” to this experience and investing in yourself in this way.

What does a REGENERATION mean for you in this season?

Anyone who has accepted the invitation to go beyond the physical poses to delve deeper into this Art of Paying Attention will know that it is a fiery practice filled with soul wrenching discomfort as well as liberation.

Individuals have chosen to do this for centuries. And in my experience of teaching I’ve witnessed whole lives transformed. Subtly over time but nonetheless obvious.

Yesterday when my son and I were on an impromptu road trip I was going on about respiration, the body’s Amazing design, O2/ CO2 exchange, nourishment & letting go … I mean a whole Ted Talk. I eventually said “Ok, I’m stepping down off my yoga soap box” and he immediately replied “Mama, you’re never not on your yoga soap box”.
I smiled and soaked in his statement because he was not wrong.

Practicing has changed my life. I marvel at how my faith, my academic knowledge and this system intersect and merge all the time in it … and I remark, all the time, to anyone who will listen, that I believe everyone in the whole world needs it.

Happy International Yoga Day!

Whether you dip your toe in for the first time or you do your 5,365th practice, I hope you make it a point to explore some part of it today! 🙏🏽

And then report back. 😉😘
