Right here. Right now.

" Be where you are. Otherwise you might miss your life."

—Buddha

Right here. Right now.

I didn't realize it I was missing my life, until the middle of last year.

I was working 60-70 hour work weeks. My mind was constantly racing with my mile long to-do list. I was eating horribly. I had stopped making anytime to care for myself; no working out, no yoga, no meditation. And, on top of that I was trying to balance my first year of marriage (my first and only REAL relationship).The irony in all this is that I was a general manager of a yoga+meditation center. A place where people come for peace, balance, and quieting down. One day I was in the midst of a breakdown— which was happening more and more often—and a friend of mine said, "What is it that you want?”.

What a great question. I thought I knew...a job dedicated to inner peace and world peace...what could be better?

Well, what's the point when you have no peace yourself? So, that's when I decided to do something radical, in the midst of the economic down turn, at a time when my husband was in-between jobs; I resigned from my job.

Drawing the Line

A little foolish? Maybe.

But, I knew something had to drastically change. I was determined to try to create a different life for myself: A more wholesome life. Where I could find balance between work, play, family— and make time to nourish my soul.

So this past year has been a real inward journey for myself.

Starting My Wholesome Soul Journey

All the lessons + wisdom I've only really read about in my large collection of spiritual and yoga books— on surrender, faith, love, detachment, forgiveness—I am finally starting to learn how to slowly put those lessons into everyday action. What a year!

So, welcome to Wholesome Soul...a place where I hope we can gather, talk about life lessons and share ways to nourish our souls.
