Good day, good day Reader , This time last week I was completely knocked down by a nasty flu. Fever, chills, headache… it was one of those bugs where you go to bed feeling fine and then somewhere in the middle of the night you wake up and know you're in for it. For three full days it was couch to bed, bed to couch, sipping water and broth, allowing my body the time it needed to rest and recover. It wasn’t how I would have planned to spend the week, but sometimes the body makes decisions that leave you no other choice but to listen and oblige. By the weekend, I was finally feeling well enough to get outside. So my family and I spent two full days in the woods with the fresh winter air and bright sun on our faces. And even though the snow is still deep, the warmth in the sun feels different. The light is lingering a little longer each day, and there’s a quiet sense that we are moving toward something new. Late winter into early spring carries a particular feeling. We are not fully in one season or the other; we’re in transition. And that’s what inspired March’s theme. In the AUM@home Community this month, I’ll be teaching practices that support the core and pelvic floor to help build foundational strength that supports you in daily life. As we move from a more Vata time of year toward the Kapha season, the body benefits from a little more warmth and strength. Piggy-backing on last month’s focus on Daily Rituals, my hope is that some of what we practice this month feels simple enough to return to regularly, perhaps even daily. Where small, repeated effort, quietly builds strength beneath the surface. Just like what I imagine the crocuses and daffodils are doing beneath the snow at this very moment. I’m grateful to be feeling well again. Grateful for the sunshine. Grateful for the reminder that even when we’re slowed down, the light is always there, ready and waiting. May this month help you build strength that feels steady, capable, and quietly confident as we make our way from winter into spring. With warmth, |

Hello hello Reader , Happy first day of spring! I enjoy winter, I really do. But this morning, as I stepped outside for my walk, a red-breasted robin was singing high up in the tree, and I have to say, I felt genuinely grateful for the signs of a new season. Spring doesn't always look the way we expect it to, and there is actually snow in the forecast here today, which made me laugh. Also, on my walks this week, I've noticed how the tree tips are starting to look fuzzy and new growth is...
Hello hello Reader , I want to share something a little personal with you today. I know what it's like to cough, sneeze, laugh too hard, or chase the dog around the yard and feel that quiet embarrassment that so many of us carry around without ever saying out loud. Incontinence is one of those things women often live with in silence, assuming it's just part of the deal after having babies, or getting older, or simply being a woman with a busy body and a full life. It doesn't have to be. What...
Good morning Reader I have a little confession to make... I am completely obsessed with the Winter Olympics. So much so there have been times these last couple of weeks where I've had multiple events streaming at once on different devices so I didn't miss anything. I even streamed the women's curling match the other day while I had the dog out for a walk at Point Pleasant Park. So much for one-pointed focus, eh? And as I’ve watched these incredible athletes compete, it hit me how powerful and...
