One of the mantras I love to live by is that the simple things often make the most potent difference in life.

I have found this teaching to be true in my world through my waking morning rituals, one-on-one connection with friends, or the ability to take one tiny step towards a larger goal.

Even with the tools that yoga and holistic health and nutrition have offered me, stress is still a reality in my life.

To-do lists, errands, projects, cooking, keeping in touch, managing finances, and running a personal business, all take their toll.
