And soon the world may call the US a cancer for its cruelty.

It's not just Iran whose surrender is being demanded. It's yours. Your hope. Your belief in yourself and our collective potential. Your empathy. They want to crush those things. They want you to believe their will is inevitable.

They want you to surrender.

When Everything Got Caught in My Throat What my body wouldn’t let me ignore

At nineteen, my body staged a revolution. I’ve been finding my way back for decades.

Wtf!

I loathe this administration.

Defense Dept under Pete Hegseth just spent more than $93 billion. Included: $2 million on Alaskan king crab last September alone, $6.9 million on lobster tail, $1 million on salmon, $140,000 on doughnuts, $124,000 on ice cream machines, $26,000 on sushi, and $15.1 million on ribeye steak.

Why have we had to listen to these idiotic ramblings for years?

Yesterday, Saturn and Neptune met at 0° Aries — the very first degree of the zodiac.

We are infants in a new world, and that means we get to decide what it looks like. If you can imagine a truer, more beautiful way to live — you can help build it.

What does your new world look like?

Great sacrifice to make in order to remind the world of what is still happening.

This may be the "most XPN" countdown ever - a mix of familiar, obscure, and oodles of "I never knew that" moments.

I was today years old when I learned that Willie Nelson did not write "Always On Mind" no. 497 on the #XPNCountdown of Greatest Cover Songs. 🤦🏼‍♀️

This is your reminder that I did a line by line analysis of the bill today to dispel any rumors, speculation or doom speak about what’s possible here.

Worth your time before you drop into my comments with speculation.

Not all silence is peace.
What does unity in yoga really mean anyway?

The Eclipse and the Inner Critic 🌙 Self-doubt casts shadows—try shining the light of compassion.

🌙 The Moon doesn’t rush back into the light, and neither should we.

On 3/14, the lunar eclipse reminds us:

✨ Self-doubt doesn’t mean failure—it’s just a passing shadow.
✨ Like the Moon, you are whole, even when you can’t see it.

Holding Space for the Dying Reflections on Love, Loss, and the Gift of Presence

Find Your Center: A Guided Meditation 10 minutes. One strength. Shift your day.

✨ 10 minutes. One strength. A moment to reset.

We don’t always need to find strength—sometimes, we just need to remember it’s already there.

Resilience Starts Here: Leaning Into the Strengths You Already Have Positive psychology teaches us to start with what’s strong. Here’s how one strength changed everything for me.

When I first took the VIA Strengths Assessment, my top strength surprised me. I didn’t understand why it was considered a strength at all.

Turns out, it’s one of the things that has helped me navigate life’s hardest moments.

Sadly we'll likely see more of this.

Refuse. Resist. Ridicule.

We change things by what we do - by the example we show in the world of our beliefs.

What Do We Hold When There’s Too Much to Carry? When life overwhelms, the Three Cup Path reminds us to hold less, care gently, and tend to what matters most.

How are you doing right now? If one of your cups feels emptier than the others, what’s one tiny thing that might refill it—even a little?

Like Water on Stone, Yoga Softens Our Armor & Reveals Who We Are Not through force, but through presence. Not by breaking, but by softening.

We think change comes from effort, from force.
But even the hardest rock is shaped by water—
not by breaking, but by staying, by softening.

That, too, is yoga.
