My word for 2018 is explore. Never have I embraced a word as much as I have this year. When Bob initially told me he was attending a conference in San Francisco my initial reaction was "ok, see ya!". But, something was grating at me. Bob mentioned I could tag along. Should I? He'd be at lectures and workshops all day, so I'd be on my own with a big city to explore! Hello word! So I purchased a plane ticket, and spent a week exploring San Francisco alone. Exploring San Francisco Alone While Bob …

One Guiding Word 2018: Explore
Instead of setting resolutions for the New Year for the last 11 years I've chosen one guiding word to set intentions for the 12 months to come. I first started doing this is in 2007 when I was heavy into crafting and scrapbooking. I first saw the one word concept on Ali Edwards blog and immediately connected with it. My guiding word over the years have included: Focus - 2007 Change - 2008 Adapt - 2009 Balance - 2010 Achieve - 2011 Grow - 2012 Challenge - 2013 Thrive - …
One word – what did I DO in 2017?
At the beginning of each year I choose one word to set my intention for the year ahead. Rather than setting a ton of resolutions or firm goals one word is chosen as a theme to guide me through the year. For 2017 I chose the word "DO". I've mentioned before that sometimes the words don't always work the way you think they will, and this year was definitely one of those years. I had high hopes for 'do'. No more thinking or planning, instead just do! That was the plan, and while that …
Using one word to guide you through 2017
Since 2007 I've been picking One Little Word to set an intention through the year ahead. This concept was introduced to me back in my scrapbooking designer days by Ali Edwards. It's something I felt drawn to and something I've done every year since. Sometimes the words I've chosen have been amazing. Others, not so much. I get it, New Year's resolutions may not be something you do. However you may just find one little word something you embrace with open arms, and are more successful …
Yoga for Fun Somatic Twist – Uncovering a New Way of Twisting

Phoenix Coloring Page – PDF Printable
Two years ago I created a coloring page based on my word of the year. Since then, every month I've given out a coloring page printable to my email subscribers. Following with tradition the first page of the year is related to my one word. So for January, we have a Phoenix coloring page. The text on this page is from an image on my One Word 2022 Rise Pinterest board. If something speaks to you then listen. I am definitely feeling the higher vibration energy right now. Positivity and …
The warrior 1 to warrior 2 transition why I don’t like it and don’t teach it
When it comes to yoga teacher training, I feel very fortunate that I learned from a team of highly skilled and evolved trainers. My lineage includes Judith Lasater and B.K.S Iyengar, and my own mentor trained in Hanna Somatics as well as yoga and other fitness modalities. As such my training is rooted in personal antomy, and somatic experiencing. One thing that has always felt 'off' to me was the warrior 1 to warrior 2 transition. It feels awkward and clunky. Through my own education and …

Mandala Coloring Pages to save your sanity
February was pretty rough. Whether it was pandemic exhaustion, mercury retrograde, or just plain burn out, I had almost three weeks of a deep 'funk'. When I say that creativity can save your sanity I am NOT kidding. Case in point would be how my mandala coloring pages came to the rescue to calm me down yesterday. Saturday my dog, began whining. Nothing unusual, as he does this a lot for his food. Only, what he was actually telling me was that he needed a potty break. Badly! He then had a …
2020 vision board results – manifesting consistency
Each year, instead of resolutions, I choose one word to guide me through the year. For 2020, my word was consistency. As I did a post at the beginning of this experience, I figured I'd do an update on my 2020 vision board results and how I manifested consistency. Disclosure: Links in this post may be affiliate links. This one-word principle is something I've been doing since 2007. Words are powerful, and having one word to encompass your year rather than goals makes things so much …
