Follow Your Heart – Being Truthful to Yourself and Others

by

Always follow your heart, making the choices that serve you well first and foremost!

I plan the blog post topics ahead of time. After all, planning is one of the keys to repeated success. It turns out there is just one problem with that. When you write from the heart and when the way you feel about the subject at hand changes mid-course, you need a new plan and you need one fast!

This post was going to be about what I anticipated would be the unforgettable yoga workshops by Anusara master John Friend. I was certain there would be a sea of new lessons to impart on yoga and on life. [Read more…] about Follow Your Heart – Being Truthful to Yourself and Others

Searching the Ripples of my Mind for Childhood Memories

“Do you remember the time in school when…”

Childhood Friendship Bond

The place is Razi Elementary School in Iran. The time is in the early 1980s. The question is posed by a long lost childhood friend who found me by sheer accident on an otherwise ordinary Monday and has since turned my life inside out with indescribable joy and bliss.

Argentine Tango with Homer LadasMy greatest mistake wasn’t to start tango late in life, that is a mere regret, or to not tango seriously enough, I couldn’t as it was making me so happy with so little, or to not tango frequently enough, as life happens and it needs your attention. My greatest mistake was to temporarily give up tango, and sadly believe that I could live a prolific life without tango in my life.

From it all, were born unforgettable lessons, and alas, bitterly sore that I were to take a break from tango, I am now back to stay for good – you can only lose a good thing once, never twice – and finally share on prolific living my fierce love of Argentine tango.
