3 cliches that came through when I almost got arrested in Central America

You know all those times your Dad reminds you to bring a photocopy of your passport with you when you travel? As it turns out, that ain’t worth squat.

As I found out upon insisting I be boarded onto the next plane to the true North Strong and free, internationally, it is virtually impossible to travel without a passport no matter how many governmental connections you have in your home country and pieces of ID cards you posess.

The Media and the Message

The online yoga world is a jamboree of photos and captions. In-your-face saturated yoga pant patterns juxtapose sunny backdrops. There seems to be a plethora of cool living rooms styled according to the anthropology catalog featuring someone in pinchamayurasana on a coffee table.

This is what a moving prayer looks like.

I came to Costa Rica in search of my soul. What I found was a deep spiritual love for the earth. I found a love for my humanity, my vulnerability and my being. I found groundedness.

An open statement to “REAL” women

Wouldn’t it be great if everyone- especially women – would stop tearing one another down about what a ‘real woman’ looks like.
