Tomorrow is Veterans Day, a legal holiday reminding us to honor those that served for purposes of peace and protection for Americans. Originally known as Armistice Day on November 11, 1919. Later in1954 it became Veterans Day, more specific for its intention. My wish, my intention at Fusion and beyond is that we somehow pay it back to serve our Veterans, and their families, and all those who serve the public
Hands Planting The Seedlings Into The Ground November in SW Florida is quite predictable. Temperatures cool down, holidays are around the corner. We turn back our clocks then move forward, gaining another hour to jumpstart into a new season. Like the farmer who tills the field to Plant Good Seeds for a fruitful crop to harvest, we are recreating to manifest good things for you. At home, we clear out spaces
Vibration of OM sacred symbol in Sanskrit Everyone has in some way been affected by the Sound of Music, the arrangement of sound. Some more pleasant, others not so much. Sound is powerfully personal. I am known to be sensitive. If sound of any kind is too loud, long, or busy, I feel uneasy. Unless I am going dancing, I need the quiet section. Think nail on a chalkboard. Preferring no loud
Sometimes less words, more quiet is appropriate, better for mind-body wellness. As we go through adjustments before, during or after life’s curve balls, finding the space in between is powerfully healing. Yoga practice is designed to start off softly for centering and grounding, build up to work through the body and mind distractions, concluded with savasana to allow us time to feel, reflect, even heal as we let any residual tension
Lotus reaches from the mud to the Light Several years ago when my light didn’t feel so bright, I had to make a commitment to use my wisdom and knowledge to get out of a darker, sad state of mind. I had to pick myself up to be a positive leader and feel better. A choice to thrive, not just to survive. Stay in the mud or emerge to the light
You know the phrase, the calm before the storm, the quiet before a disturbance. We now need the Calm AFTER the Storm. We have tools to help us navigate and respond best before, during and after the storms of life. Hurricane Helene is one of those major life-changing disturbances. As an empath, I feel deep emotions for others suffering. My heart hurts. I have learned about healthier reactions that are within
How is your yoga and self-care discipline this National Yoga Awareness Month? Confession of a yogi, mine slipped as soon as I stopped my Win for Wellness last month. I am one of those needing deadlines and reminders. I actually like the proverbial, report card. I’d love a yoga buddy to say, “Where are you?” or “Let’s go!” I enjoy it immensely; I just need to carve out “me time”
Saluting the Sun, as I can balance on a paddleboard due to yoga. September is National Yoga Month to raise awareness. My yoga story: For me, I never knew anyone who practiced, or any place that offered yoga until I went to my local gym to get back in shape 15 years ago and discovered they offered yoga classes. I will “try it” I thought. Embarrassed, I entered and asked
Last weekend I decided to Go Out on a Limb to Get to the Fruit. Escaping SW Florida heat into the Blue Ridge mountains of western North Carolina to a Power Yoga Summit with Travis Eliott and his wife/partner Lauren Eckstrom of Inner Dimension. I first hesitated knowing it would be super intense, packed with challenging practices for 4 days. But I went for it and my true grit kicked
I learned much about myself over the past 30 days during our Fusion Win for Wellness campaign. I created our Activity plan to commit to more healthy habits during a month in which I slack on my routines. I tracked my progress daily to practice yoga, walk in nature, meditate, read a book, enjoy a Fusion service or donate to a charity. Also refer someone, and write a review is
