REFLECTIONS When Something Just Feels Right Hello, My Fellow Sage! Itâs been more than a month since Iâve written. I didnât intend to be quiet for so long. Life simply had other plans. Iâm moving. And honestly, I didnât see it coming. Not long ago, Rob and I visited our dear friends Corrine and Rich, never imagining that a simple visit might change the direction of our lives. But almost immediately, something about being there simply felt right. Iâve only experienced that feeling so strongly...

Amaury, Myself and Rob at KSC :-) When did he get taller than me? Hello My Fellow Sage! As I write this, my grandson, Amaury, is sleeping. He's 14âalmost 15. They grow up ridiculously fast. He leaves tonight at 7:00, and already I can feel a little sadness creeping in. I love having him here. I love our conversations, our time together, and simply knowing he's in the house. Of course I'm going to miss him. But this morning, as I thought about our last day together, I noticed something. I...

Welcome to Reflections. Over the past few months, many of you have shared how much these newsletters have meant to you. Your thoughtful emails, personal stories, and reflections have reminded me that this space has become more than a place to share wellness tips or upcoming events. It has become a place to pause. To reflect. To reconnect with what matters. My hope is that each week you'll to find a story, a simple practice, or an idea that encourages you to slow down, breathe, and perhaps see...

What If It Isn't Summer We Love? Summer is quietly winding down. Even here in South Florida, where warm weather is part of everyday life, summer holds a special kind of energy. Vacations.

What made your heart sing this summer? What moments brought you the greatest sense of peace or joy? What are...

Hola! I'm back home, and it feels wonderful. Mexico was beautifulâthe warmth, the ocean, the scenery. As always, I returned feeling grateful. But I also came home with something unexpected: I was carrying more stress than I realized. That surprised me. After all, I was in Mexico. I was teaching yoga, walking by the ocean, meeting wonderful people, and doing work I love. Yet my Oura Ring told a different story. What I realized is that stress isn't always a sign that something is wrong. Even...

The Gifts Fathers Leave Behind Close your eyes for just a moment. Think of the man â or men â who helped shape who you are today. A father. A grandfather. A stepfather. An uncle. A mentor. A father figure who showed up when you needed him most. Maybe he said exactly the right thing. Maybe he never said much at all â but the way he lived said everything. This time of year, I find myself thinking about my dad. Not just the man he was, but the gifts he left behind. Because the older I get, the...
