I hope that your Christmas day was restful and joyous!

 

The week between Christmas and New Years Day is always a powerful one for me. It’s a time when I reflect on the months behind me and look toward a new year full of possibilities. Are you starting to think about your intentions for 2012?  

 

I have two exciting announcements that will help you have your most empowered and healthiest year. The first is about my empowerment workshop series, Learning to Be the Change (formerly Flowing Through Change), which I’m offering January 7 through February 11 at Urban Yoga. And the second is about a new partnership I’m happy to be cultivating. Beginning on January 9, I’ll begin sharing the healing art of Vedic Thai Yoga with my friends in Mansfield at Gratitude Yoga, 2771 E. Broad Street.

 

 

 Begin 2012 by finding your strength and setting clear intentions. Most of us have a general idea of what we “want to do,” but are  held back by real and perceived obstacles, shaky plans, and our own fears.

 If you feel stuck in old patterns or feel like you don’t know what to do next, this workshop series is for you.

 

In this workshop, you will:

  • Discover where you’re truly out of balance.
  • Face your fears head-on.
  • Create and document your personal mission statement.
  • Learn a simple technique to help your goals stay on track.

You’ll experience a number of discovery processes that utilize meditation, yoga, and guided journaling (journals provided).

 

You’ll also receive a bonus one-on-one session with me to help ensure you keep the momentum you create during the workshop.

 “This workshop series helped me understand the areas where I need work and helped me discover what my passion is. I made several big decisions during the 5 weeks! The discovery processes are excellent.” -DM

Happy Winter to you!

As the bones of the land around us are exposed by the changing of the seasons and the return of colder weather, we return to the rituals that have been celebrated and practiced for many thousands of years. These rituals, like the trimming of the Christmas tree, the hanging of the greens, and the exchanging of gifts, bind us as families and communities.

 

In addition to these big, macro-rituals, we all have rituals that exist within our own household. For Weldon and me, one of those is our Christmas morning breakfast. Before we open our gifts to each other and move on to the bigger celebration with family, we share a small meal together, just the two of us. One of our favorites is my quick and easy Christmas Morning Oatmeal. We’re happy to share it with you here.

 

Have a beautiful, restful, and peaceful holiday season. May it be filled with friends, family, and love.

 

This tasty oatmeal is also full of good nutrients:

 

  • Dates are full of potassium, iron, and antioxidants.
  • Flax is full of omega-3s and fiber.
  • Almonds are full of vitamin E, calcium, and magnesium.
1/2 C GF rolled oats
1/4 C milk of your choice (almond, rice, soy, or cow)
2 T flax meal (optional)
1 t cinnamon
2 T chopped dates
1 T agave syrup or honey
2 T sliced almonds
  1. Place oatmeal into your favorite bowl.
  2. Pour milk over oatmeal and stir until thoroughly mixed.
  3. Let sit 15 minutes.
  4. Add remainder of ingredients and mix well with a spoon.
  5. You can pop into microwave for 15 second or so if you prefer to have it a little warm.
Enjoy with someone you love and your favorite hot beverage.
