Mindful Reality: Desire and Acceptance

Mindful Reality Q&A: New YouTube Series
Hi All, I am introducing a new series on YouTube, which I will repost here on this Blog, that I am very excited about. In addition to writing books on this body of work I have developed, one of my favorite aspects of the practice has been coaching others. (You can find more information on […]
Masking
What a concept. Who would have imagined we would be in a situation where we would be covering our faces? I remember when the pandemic first began and there were photos of teens in China wearing masks. It seemed foreign to me. Now it seems normal. I make my own masks out of old sweatpants. […]
Who Knows?

Though for many women this topic will be commonplace, there will be readers who will not see the connection between […]
Sharing the Path: Politics and Reality
I have often wondered how my background academic educational career in International Relations connects to the part of me that writes books on the body, mindfulness and philosophy. We are used to compartmentalizing different fields and pursuits instead of seeing them as part of a whole. It has only been in light of the recent […]
