I’ve left many things because I wasn’t happy: relationships, friendships, houses, cities, and jobs. I recall in those experiences saying that I just wasn’t happy. I wasn’t always clear on why I was feeling down, but I would feel softer once I gained distance, and I...
I’ve had a blissful day, I experienced so much productivity at work, I had meetings that felt fluid and connected and I taught a yoga class that was immensely nourishing for myself. I felt richly connected to my heart by the end of the day. But when I walked into my...
