Are you looking to get into yoga? Well, this challenge might help! I created this challenge for myself, but I thought it might be cool to share it with all of you as well. I think yoga is a great thing, and I know a lot of you are doing…
Get some tumbled stones from a river or at the craft store. Use real rock not glass. (The ones in the photo are from my altar.) If you feel sick, either from physical or emotional ailment, take a stone and hold it close to your heart. Imagine the ailment going…
It’s a hard road, but I believe that it’s better to live for your dreams than to live the way people tell you to. Every time I try to do what people think I should do, which is basically to give up on my dreams and do whatever will make…
Today was food shopping day, and it was the most stressful day of the week, as it has been for a while. When you’re on a tight budget, figuring out what you can afford to eat can be a nightmare, and a cause of immense stress. No one should…
I originally got into yoga because I hated exercise and wanted to lose weight. I still hate exercise, but I’m more concerned with being healthy than being skinny now. Yoga has become something that I can’t seem to live without for very long. If I go for more than a…

I can never stress enough how important it is to be your own person. I know, we’ve been taught for ages that standing out is bad, and that what you should want is to fit in and be part of the crowd. The truth is, that’s not the way…
What is a hero? Is it someone who takes (legally) from the wealthy and gives to the poor? I’ve done that. Is it someone who speaks or acts for others who cannot speak or act for themselves? I’ve done that. Is it someone who risks self to stand up…
