Whenever I begin to waver in my yoga practice or any practice that is for the purpose of care, growth or expansion, I pull out this quote to remind myself of the importance AND power of commitment. Yes, I said it… the dreaded “C” word (or at least one of them! 😉 ) What does …
As we count down the last few days of 2017, we may find ourselves reviewing the many “highlights of 2017” that are shown on TV or the internet.
