Oct 19 Soles in the Sand (or grass or earth or mud...)

I find it highly ironic that I'm obsessed with shoes and yet chose a profession/s that require me to be naked from the ankle down.

(Okay, so technically, as a writer, I'm "allowed" to wear shoes. But who are any of us kidding? Most writers don't change out of their pajamas to work, much less put on a pair of shoes).

As a yoga teacher, however, I'm barefoot pretty much all of the time. And while I can almost hear my closet full of booties wincing in utter sadness due to blatant neglect, being barefoot is actually a very GOOD THING. I shared my thoughts on why with Best Selling Author, award-winning designer, and Happiness Expert (yeah, there's such a thing!), Karen Salmansohn!

Check out my piece on the practice of Earthing, (and how it can help combat that darn anxiety that plagues us all!) on her site notsalmon.com

In Spirit & Sole,

p.s. And while you're at it, check out the 2nd edition of my book on yoga (and life!) for tween and teen girls!

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life."
- John Lennon

"The secret of life was Breath. That was what I always wanted my words to do, to Breathe."
-Anais Nin

"Writers are taught to 'write what you know about.' The same advice applies to the quest for the power of the soul: be good at what you're good at. Many of us spend time and energy trying to be something that we are not. But this is a move against the soul, because individuality rises out of the soul as water rises out of the depths of the earth. We are who we are because of a special mix that makes up our soul."
-Care of the Soul, Thomas Moore

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
-Friedrich Nietzsche

"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, 'thank you,' that would suffice."
-Meister Eckhart

"Nothing is worth more than this day."
-Johann Wolfgang Goethe
