I take a few moments of silence today to just breathe and feel grateful for being here today along with those I care so much about.

I pray and send love, peace and positive energy today to those I care so much about in the process of healing.  I know you carry great strength and will overcome challenges with compassion and acceptance, only to make you even stronger.  I don’t know if you know this because maybe it’s hard for me to express, but I look up to you in so many ways and have so much respect for you.  I admire you.  Love yourselves unconditionally, remember nothing is certain and perfect in our lives yet life is full of purpose, lessons and love .

Thinking of you and wishing you all the best.

love, peace and happy energy,

Keli

Happy Birthday to a Yogi Who’s Inspired Me…

Janma dinamidam ayi priya sakhe
santanotu te sarvada mudam ||
prarthayamahe bhava satayusi
isvarassda tvam ca raksatu||
punya karmana kirtimarajaya
jivanam tava bhavatu sarthakam||
O! Friend, may this birthday of yours
Bring in auspiciousness and happiness.
We pray that you enjoy hundred beautiful years of life, and
May the Lord always protect you.
By your virtuous act, earn fame and
May your life be fulfilling.

(Sanskrit Happy Birthday)

To my fellow yogi and dear friend Malik,

Yoga honors not only the universal connection between all beings, but also the individual ways people connect to that spirit.  Almost one year ago we met right on these famous steps of this historic city of Philadelphia.  Some would say we met and became friends “by chance” and others would say the universe and our spirit connected us.  At the very moment we met, we established trust in one another and within minutes we were in the top photographer connecting in double boat pose (navasana).  I remember the moment.  We had an “audience” surrounding us, some even taking pictures us, yet within minutes I suddenly forgot there was anyone around.  I was in the present moment in a meditative state and amazed two people who’d never met before were able to connect to share this yoga partnership.  Since meeting you that day you’ve taught me so much, my friend, from assisting your yoga in the office class, partnering for the Thai Yoga Massage workshop along with so much inspiration you’ve shared with me.    You inspire and amaze me.  Wishing you a very happy day on your birthday and every day.  Om Shanti, Namaste. Hugs, “Peach”

P.S.  Skip the cake, enjoy some fudge!  What do Yoga, meditation and a fudge cake have in common?  They each bring you a piece or peace of heaven.

When asked what gift he wanted for his birthday, the yogi replied: “I wish no gifts, only presence.”  p.s. this is your bday gift, along with a coffee soon ;)

The Rainbow Circling Around the Sun: Halo Optical Phenomenon

May 15, 2012 Events & Benefits / Inspirational Stories & Interviews

Yesterday, on the island of Ambergris Caye, Belize, where many of us will meet this winter as the first stop for our yoga retreat,

an optical phenomenon was present! A Halo, full rainbow ring around the sun, was seen!

A Halo is an optical phenomenon produced by ice crystals creating colored or white arcs and spots in the sky.

Rainbows have many meanings and are a symbol of peace, hope, and unity. A rainbow can be a sign of a new beginning, when the old is swept away.  It can also signify the cyclical evolving of a new world (which is amazing that this rainbow was seen in Belize, the center of the Maya world where the 6000 year old Maya Calendar was predicted to come to an end this December 21, 2012.  Some of us will be practicing yoga at the ancient Maya Temples on this day.

“It takes both the sun and the rain to make a beautiful rainbow”  author unknown

Hope to see you in Paradise!   XOXO

Five Things You Should Try Before Settling Down (and the five I’ve done!)

May 15, 2012 Articles & Interesting Finds / Inspirational Stories & Interviews

Me and Karmin 2006 at Caliente Restaurant Belize

“The Clock is Ticking??”

the article opens with “The Clock is Ticking!”  What the heck?  Who’s rushing who?  I’m 32 years old, single, and stumbled upon this yesterday….

 

I read the article of course and am still laughing, did you?  The five “things you should try before settling down” are so random, yet the reason I’m still cracking up is that I’ve actually done them all! (well, just about!)

#1 take a road trip with good friends …eh, done that (and you probably have too) but really?  That’s one of the FIVE things to do before settling down?

#2 visit las vegas …or better yet, does it count that I lived there for 5 years?  If not, I’ve certainly gone back as a “tourist” since.  Seriously though, Vegas makes the list?  I can think of loads of other places I’d put on the list before Vegas but I didn’t write the list.

#3 throw the Ultimate House Party …the best house party that comes to mind was actually while my high school sweetheart was house sitting.  The next one that comes to mind was a small “house party” in my dorm room at Sanford Hall at the University of Minnesota.  No booze at either, of course ;) Do either of those count?  If that’s not good enough I don’t know what is because you’ll never see me throwing an ultimate house party these days.

#4 live on a tropical island …age 25, packed my bags and took off from Vegas moving to the tropical island of Ambergris Caye, Belize!  I lived there for a few years, started an event planning business, and still enjoy returning a few times each year.

#5 volunteer abroad …Volunteering with the children’s summer program in Belize along with volunteering throughout Israel are two of my fondest international volunteer opportunities.

So there you have it… according to Elephant Journal I’m all set to settle!  Hear that guys?  (chuckles)
