For those of you who’ve lost your mother or never really knew her; who’ve lost the child(ren) who've made you a mother or were unable to not conceive as wished; who’ve adopted, fostered or raised a child as your very own; who now nurture a child in your womb; who mother other species or carry on each day continually caring for those around you; & for those of you who are being celebrated by your children &/or celebrating the woman who birthed you into being or the women who've stepped in & showed up for you when you needed them most, YOUR passing along of this love, selfless dedication to others & your sweet, mothering sprit--sometimes silent but surely seen in the eyes that truly matter-- is always honored!
I hope you recognize how loved you are... on this day & every one to follow!

Happy Mother’s Day!

May we all be blessed, in some way, shape or form, by the gift of divine motherly love!

“Voting with your dollars” causes knee jerk reactions in some who know this action alone cannot incite positive change; this, however, doesn’t detract from its validity & worthwhileness. ‘Tho we may honorably aim to reduce unnecessary consumerism, we still must consume certain resources to live & thrive but, at least, we can make our impact as beneficial as possible through wise decisions, sustainable practices, giving back/paying forward & supporting companies that care! 

That said, I’m happy to share that one of the companies which I love to support for yoga supplies is Jade Yoga!

Among their many eco-conscious offers are natural rubber mats, organic cotton carriers,  genuine cork blocks & other awesome props.  With each order I place, Jade plants trees, preserves rainforest & donates to protecting indigenous trees like Mahogany, Parkia & Macaranga trees which serve as habitat for chimps & other members of the local community/ecosystem!  If you need any yoga supples, let me know & I will be glad to put together an order with my wholesale account & pass along a discount!  To browse Jade's offerings, you can visit www.JadeYoga.com.

Yes, we’re still consuming but, in a sea of complex choices, challenging daily decisions & info overload, all we can do is our best to select ultra durable, biodegradable items & make our highest choices in the moments in which we decide! So, here's to your mindful choice making & thank you for pausing to reflect on not only your own health but the health of the world at large, & for caring like you do, my friends!
