June was one whirlwind of a month. News of how this administration is attacking the very core of who we are as a Country was front and center. Children being ripped away from their mother’s arms was too much to face without feeling a tremendous amount of sadness. Then came the news of the deadly eruption of the Volcano of Fire and how it destabilized my beautiful Guatemala. It was a rough go.

I started practicing yoga as a way of finding my way back to my discipline, and also  as a way to ground myself. Yoga is not just a physical act but a spiritual one for me. And it has made such a positive difference in my life. While in meditation one morning, this mantra came to me:

Surrender to what is.

Forgive yourself, forgive others.

Return to Love.

It has helped me move through my day in a more conscious manner and I hope it will help you too. Let’s love and appreciate one another.

Hugs for a Monday,
