“Lasting change happens when people see for themselves that a different way of life is more fulfilling than their present one.” ~ Eknath Easwaran I’ve been thinking a lot about lasting change.

In any transition, we often focus on the end goal. In my year of leaping into full-time entrepreneurship, I’ve spent a lot of time planning how to successfully complete that transition: personal financial planning, long-term strategy for Compass Yoga, funding, and partnerships that will grow our programming. But there’s an often overlooked detail when we [...]
Beginning: Let Your Gratitude Show
Posted in good fortune, grateful, gratitude, thankful, thanksgiving on November 24, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I love Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite holiday – no presents like Christmas, no question about plans like New Year’s. Just good food, friends, family, and napping. At least for the lucky among us.

There’s been a lot of talk in the media recently about the privileged 1%. Today we honor another 1%: our veterans, the brave men and women who put on their uniforms every day and make our freedom their mission. At a veterans health conference in June, I was shocked to learn that only 1% of [...]

“Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labor in freedom.” ~ Albert Einstein Holidays like July 4th are a good time for reflection.

“It pays to be honest, but it’s slow pay.” ~ Proverb via Tiny Buddha I recently met a new colleague who shares a lot of the sentiments I have about yoga, meditation, and what really matters in life.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms of the world, those tireless champions of ours who believe we can and will do anything we set our hearts and minds to. This Mother’s Day instead of sending my mom flowers and gifts, I donated to her favorite charity on her behalf. She asked me to donate [...]
