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
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
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.

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
August is a time that seems to take me off track of my usual healthy routines. Maybe it’s the heat or the old patterns of wrapping up summer plans. So, I am starting my 30 Day Wellness Winner ~ August Activities plan to motivate me to reboot and keep my momentum for what makes me feel best. Every time I see something that says 30 Day Challenge I cringe, feeling
Like a “V” for Vivi! Our Fusion Yoga Teacher shares Downward Facing Dog do’s and don’ts for the best alignment from hands to head, to tailbone, to toes.The first time I saw this pose I thought, “I’ll never get it right like the inverted “V”, my heels won’t touch the ground, straight legs like others in class.” Good news, heels may never come down with straight legs, and that’s ok.

Over 25 years ago, I drove 90 minutes to the hills of Virginia to receive a Past Life Regression session after searching the classified ads. I had read the true story, Many Lives, Many Masters by highly respected psychiatrist, Brian Weiss and was fascinated! He tells the story of his patient with many debilitating life issues that were healed through hypnosis after delving deep into her past. Without either of
