“1994-2006 was a very dark period of my life. A time when family members, friends, relatives didn’t even know if I was going to make it out alive.

“Things that they tried to teach me for 10 years, and all of a sudden when I started practicing (yoga) on the mat it’s like, Oh my gosh, you’ve been trying to say this for like 10 years and NOW I’m getting it?”

~ Set your intention: create who will show up to be each day
~ Acknowledgements: creatively acknowledge yourself and others for what they share
