🌴Tiny Islands
I’m in the process of writing two books.
One is about my healing journey with my daughter Sarina.
The other about my 365 Tiny Island 🏝.
I know how it feels to give 24/7. Don’t give up on your life. You cannot give without recieing.
My tiny Islands safe my life.
Tiny Islands are mini-retreats I hop on during the day. They let me pause and nourish my soul.
They gift us with awareness breaks to allow time for self-care. Self-care delivers self-love.

Need some magic? 🌷Wednesday Whisper 39/19
Hermann Hesse opened doors in my mind no one else before had. It was the summer of 1972; I was sixteen years old when my friends and I read Siddhartha for the first time. We had questions about anything and everything. We discussed the journey of self-discovery in...
Need a win today? How about discernment! 🏆 Wednesday Whisper 38/19
I'm preparing to go on a trip to Germany tomorrow. My to-dos are crazy. Like always before a big trip. Without awareness, I could lose the gamble on what to do first. Which door to open. Or choose the list; and ignore me. Discernment is a golden skill to own. A...
Do you notice your wins? 🎯 Wednesday Whisper 37/19
The tiny ones that are easy to miss? The other day I went to a Nia dance class, my second love after yoga. They had a raffle. I put in my name in and was ready to go home after class when they announced to draw the winner. I never win in lotteries or...
How do you choose? 🌷 Wednesday Whisper 36/19
From the moment we wake up in the morning to the moment we settle in at the end of the day, our ordinary life offers us a colorful mix of choices to make. How do you choose? And why? I'll never forget when I first laid eyes on this question. It was in 1996. I was in...
What’s your calling? 🌷 Wendesday Whsiper 35/19*
As a young woman, I didn’t think about my purpose or my why the way I do now. I thought my purpose was to teach sports and gymnastics in schools. I loved it, but before I knew, I was teaching kids with physical challenges. Adaptive P.E. became my gem. How movement...
When self-doubt hits home 🌷Wednesday Whisper 29/19
On Friday my daughter Sarina woke up crying. Usually, she is content with a positive attitude. But lately, as her goal to live independently feels out of reach, she struggles with her self-confidence. Self-doubt moved in. She is nervous about her future just like I am...
Breath is life
Breath is life. Are you aware of how you breathe? Deep breaths are like little love notes for your body are my favorite words in connection to our breath. Do you know how you breathe? Or, are you out of breaths often? The breath is like your heartbeat. It’s here now....
TINY ISLAND – THE 20-SEC BREAK
The 20-second break is an awareness break. It's simply stopping what you are doing or thinking or saying or being for 20 seconds and using that 20 seconds to notice what is happening to you and around you. It's similar to the advice: breath before speaking when you...
TINY ISLAND – GIFT YOURSELF A MINUTE- WEDNESDAY WHISPERS 12/19
I believe in the power of a pause. I created my 🏝Tiny Islands because of that. To pause means taking care of ourselves. I'm talking about a meaningful pause. One that has the wisdom of yoga and mindfulness at it's core. One I choose not because I'm exhausted or...
