47 Days of Transformation (2013): Day 1

Today is a new day. It’s a special day for me. It’s Day One of my 47 Days of Transformation.  Why 47 Days of Transformation? Reason one: I’m 47 years old. (Did I really just share that with the world?) And, reason two: because I realize there are things I set out to accomplish in […]

This made me cry. I don’t want you to cry.

This past weekend my husband and I participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It was our seventh year and we raised close to $7,500. Though walking 39 miles in two days, sleeping in a tent and using port-a-potties is not easy, we’re always excited about being part of the effort to fund organizations […]

A Must in Your “Medicine” Cabinet

When was the last time you ate/drank some ginger? Ginger is a superhero! It is a remarkable herb with intense anti-inflammatory properties. Ginger is revered in India and Asia for its healing powers. Can you believe this: In China, ginger has been used to help digestion and treat stomach upset, diarrhea, and nausea for more […]

Why do I detox?

I was asked the above question after posting about my upcoming program – A Sensational YOU Summer Detox Program on facebook.  It’s been a thrill and an honor for me to be promoting my first detox. I’ve wanted to do this for so long, yet I held myself back (for lots of different reasons – […]

My Perfect Nation (a poem by my nephew)

One of my 11-year-old nephews recently wrote this poem. He won a contest and I’m so proud of him. I was so taken by […]

As this is my summer of self-care, I’ve set the intention to practice yoga at least three times a week. So far, I’ve been twice this week, so I’m on my way. On Monday, as I was walking to the studio, I noticed this sign in a patch of green and wood chips on the […]

I Love Rainbows

This made me smile today. I love rainbows. The weather has been a bit dreary in New York City and Western Massachusetts. Gray, rainy, cloudy. I’m up in Pittsfield, MA this week and was out with my sister this morning. As we were driving home, I looked up and saw blue sky under the clouds. […]

The Summer of Self…

…love …care …??? Today is Monday, July 1. Beginning of the week. Beginning of a new month. Beginning of the second half of the year. And the beginning of the summer of self for me. I’m very clear that this is not about being selfish. In fact, it’s about me being more giving, more generous. […]

Stop it! Let the excuses go.

I knew I had to do it today. I had to get back to the gym. It’s amazing how the excuses creep in day after day. And the funny thing is, I love going to the gym. I love the feeling of taking care of my body. I pride myself on my ability to inspire […]
