Have you ever had one of those weeks (or months!) where life feels like it is coming at you from every direction? When you want to shake your fists at the sky and scream “Seriously!! Why is this happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?” The truth is, all of us get comfortable […]
When life knocks you over
It is very easy to say that yoga, meditation, self-help books, “good thoughts” and all that other jazz will make all your wounds better, and will heal your broken pieces…but sometimes no matter how hard you work on your inner peace, the outside world bangs louder at the door.
