Someone asked me these simple questions when trying to help me market a new project. I paused. I took 5 deep breaths. Then I put pencil to paper and this is what happened…

What do you do?
I look for love in all things. I try to love myself more. I try not to take it all so seriously. I love others. I fall in love day after day. I write, I make jewelry, I consult and counsel others. I travel. I give yoga workshops. I lead yoga retreats, taking others on spectacular global adventures that seep into the soul. I teach people to go to their own darkness and see light so they can also be yoga teachers. I take my passions seriously. I follow my heart, always.
This is all of me. I think…
Who are you? What do you do?
I think I will ask myself these questions every year. I invite you to do the same: Who are you? What do you do? Pause. 5 deep breathes… GO
