Renewal Tide Massage & Yoga

2024 was a year of deep stillness and constant movement. Of searching and finding. Of transition. Emergence.

A little wrap of some highlights.

1) I liked these shadows.
2) Peach roses were my mom’s favorite
3) the Radha Rani plaque brought me from India
4) My beloved making me laugh, as usual
5) Running
6) Hiking Old Rag
7) Beautiful places in Romania
8) Beautiful friends in Istanbul
9) Date night with my boo
10) Deep play is the most sacred. Raman Reti, Vrindavan

When playing and praying and reverence and joy all show up in service to love 💗

Jaisalmer had the most beautiful, intricately carved facades of havelis 😍 The time and patience that it must’ve taken to create these masterpieces reflecting a true meditation. Beginning to see how devotion, dedication and meditation are more than just moods to enact when we sit down to our practice, but rather, how, when infused in one’s every step…every breath, they create a masterpiece out of a life✨

Thanks to everyone who left a kind word, what a gift to be in community with you 🙏🙏

Mom, your light was so bright. You shone like a ray of sunshine and when you were in the room, everything else was made brighter. And now that you’ve gone, everything feels more bleak and yet also still bright. I don’t know how you do that. Your unique, mysterious magic, I guess.

The ferocity with which you lived and loved made for a life of memorably high highs and low lows as well, but your redemption arc was the most epic thing I’ve ever had the honor to witness. An inspiration in courage and leaving societal constraints and limitations in the rearview mirror to the very end.

I love you so much, my heart is exploding and my eyes wonder when this reservoir of tears will run dry. Another mystery.

In your wake, I’m left with the lessons of thoughtful and generous giving, of welcoming with arms open, of enjoying this life with every cell of my body and unapologetically living in bold, full color.

Mi-e dor de tine 💔

Come with me on my Rustic Romania Retreat and soothe the senses.

Don’t know who needs to see this, but if this is the only thing I see from now on, I’m good. This is all I need to remember. 🤍🤍🖤

It’s been a hell of a year, and though right now I’m in a season of extreme stress, as I start looking back through, I see that actually, it’s been pretty great so far.

Did some traveling, had some sweet family moments, a little catching up with friends, some sassing the camera, and mostly filling up my camera roll with cute pictures of my dog. Made a big dream come true in taking my kiddo to Romania….its been pretty epic, actually.

I am blessed with so much love and support. As the year goes by and life gets so real, I find myself leaning on my supports so much…maybe too much. The group chats, the marco polos, the walks in nature…it’s all holding me together. Seeing that support and feeling it in a time when it’s so easy to spiral into fear is my favorite takeaway of 2023.

Pic 9 looks like a mug shot and is the pic that I sent with my application for a visa that’s been playing really hard to get. Why you have to look like a hardened criminal when you are taking official pics is beyond me and just makes me laugh. I’ll just leave the rest - sweet, fun pics as a reminder of things sweet and sassy 💁🏻‍♀️

So thank you to all the beautiful souls who hold me together every day. I look forward to returning the favor someday ♥️

Moving into 2024 with so much hope and space for grace and potential.

Happy New Year, y’all!!

Seems pretty solid.

Friends, I may have been spammed - if you get any strange messages from this account, it wasn’t me!

I’ve never even been to Hawaii yet. Hoping someday to go. But the people, animals and land are suffering there now. We should help.
