Where To Start?
On September 21, 2019 I checked off a bucket list goal. I stood on that BIG RED DOT on the TedxSaltLakeCity stage and delivered a talk about my work in the Utah State Prison. It was an honor to say the least, and an experience I will forever treasure. The other 13 speakers and I […]
Stop Asking That Question
“Your past does not define you, your past prepares you.” ~ Grandma Annie Imagine…I just met you, and the first question I ask you is “What is the worst thing you’ve ever done?” Doesn’t that make your stomach cinch up in a knot? But as I find myself working with women who have recently been […]
For The Servers
“Here is the test to find out whether or not your mission on earth is finished: if you are alive, it isn’t.” ~Richard Bach Of all the things I want my children to be, it’s servers. People who serve. People who look around for someone who is lonely, and make eye contact. People who stop […]
What Will You Leave Behind?
The only thing you take with you when you’re gone, is what you leave behind. What will you leave behind?

I only […]
Life is…
Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more. ~Tony Robbins This has been an interesting weekend.

What Happens in Hawaii…
What happens on a yoga retreat? Yoga…meditation…great food…some sightseeing…and if it’s a Yoga Assets retreat, nothing short of honest-to-goodness life changing soul-shifting transformation. At the end of every year, we retreat. We restore. We refresh. We reboot. We remember who we are, and why we are on this earth. We come home standing in our […]
One Man’s Journey
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~Margaret Mead Coming home from our Kauai retreat, I am freakin’ on fire about the way our participants took on the invitation to play big, to make a big statement for 2019. […]
How Will You?
How Will You Give Something Beautiful to the World? “…the tragedy in life does not lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disaster to be unable […]
Freedom
“Had the world always been like this, this alive? I vowed to always look at life this way, to never forget this moment.” ~Vickie Girard, Stage IV Cancer Survivor I got lucky. My cancer was caught early, and I had the good fortune of great doctors who did what it took to get that shit […]
Stand and Stare
“What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare” ~W.H. Davies This is a photo of 650 kids at Valley Junior High, pausing to breathe, move, and be mindful at the beginning of an ordinary school day. It’s one of the coolest things I have been able […]
