Reach for the Light

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

Seva and Serenity, Calm After the Storm

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

YOLO, YOGA

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”

Yoga Month, Yoga Day…it’s all the same

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

Go Out on a Limb to Get to the Fruit

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

What I Learned About Me

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

Expand Knowledge and Entrain Energy

To be honest, my head spins like electrons spinning around a nucleus and photons in an atom when I think of how quantum physics works. Like most things, I get the basics and accept from personal experiences for over 30 years, energy healing works. As a holistic nurse in some capacity for over 40 years, I favor preventive and non-invasive methods as a first line of defense for optimal health,

Sing A Meditation

Kirtan is singing with intention and devotion, also known as Bhakti yoga. The lyrics are known as mantras which are chanted like a song or hymn, and usually accompanied with musical instruments. Japa meditation is repetition of the mantras. Last Thursday after a busy day, I missed my Win for Wellness activity so decided to slip in a webinar to check the daily box. Instead, it was a Live Krisha Das

Discipline Days 5-11

Truth be told, I lacked discipline all my life. I always commit to fancy free and fun, procrastinating otherwise. If something doesn’t interest me (taxes) but is important, it’s on my back burner, causing me more stress as it lingers over my head. I get distracted with other to-do’s. I can hear my mom, “Just get it over with!” This past week started off great then fizzled because I wasn’t

Gina’s Journey for Wellness Week 1

I feel good, like I knew that I would! I can hear James Brown now as I I am off to a good start, determined to follow through with my commitment to regain my momentum in August on our Journey into Winning with Wellness.  I lacked motivation with summer heat and recharging after a busy season. So, I created the August Win with Wellness to jumpstart me again, and maybe you too. Starting fresh on Thursday the 1st
