Coming Soon – I’ve been busy writing a book about my story with tips for healing. Watch for updates in future blogs!

Above is the cover for my book that will be available soon on Amazon. The book is my story of healing. I will let you know as soon as the book hits the site.

Last week we celebrated a total eclipse of the sun. Did you know that this is a time of renewal and new beginnings? Of letting go of the past and moving into new ideas and physical situations? Of releasing? Let this be your time to let go and move forward.

In addition to my regular classes this month I will be teaching a chair yoga class at Beaumont’s Survive and Thrive – the 18th Annual Breast Cancer Symposium called Sharing is Caring.

Recently I’ve been thinking about meditation and affirmations. Like many of us, I try daily to spend time in stillness and quiet space, to come face to face with my own personal spirit or spirituality. I believe it helps to read inspirational pieces and I saw a Facebook post a few days ago that made me feel inspired. It included many affirmations, including those below:
