My Monday morning mindfulness meditation challenge: a very busy and very hungry weekend’s worth of dishes... No staging. No filters. What’s your Monday look like? #nofilter #nostaging #mindstrongmonday #dishes #mindfulness #downdogma

Man Crush Monday...my world. My inspiration. My mirror. 😍 Today is the perfect Monday to be mindstrong. I'm enjoying the weather, I've crossed off some to-do's, I get to eat a homemade vegan lunch, teach some yoga, clean up the yard a bit AND still have time for some reflection of how so much has changed since 9/11/2001. I was just a young teenager at the time with a very small lens for the outside world. Many days, I am still like that on purpose to keep the peace within myself, yet so much of my mind and my heart is shared with people all around the US and the globe. Travel has greatly expanded my cultural awareness and my practice of service and diversity has grown my need to be more connected with the world around me. @nick_comsia_someday made a post this morning about 9/11 and about the good and the bad in the world. He really inspires me to keep doing my little bits of good, to not get discouraged when I don't succeed at making the WHOLE world a better place, but to be grateful for the impact I AM able to make. Thank you Nico for being a reflection of virtue that I get to stare day after day. I can't wait to keep dragging you into my do-good-ing efforts and I can hardly contain my excitement for you to be my husband. #team711 #dreamteam #mindstrongmonday #september11th #expandyourview #mcm

Okay! Monday and me are getting along much better now. I checked my attitude, put on my fun pants, went outside, cooked some food, made some tea thanks to inspiration from @kenzieforrest and now it's yoga time @yogastrongstudios in Cleveland and I am so ready to groove. #downdogma #mindstrongmonday #checkyourself #showupanyway

The pink rise of the sun whispered a sincere prayer as the water rinsed away many frustrations. May the wisdom of my dreams shine through my unconscious. May I be able to more clearly hear the wise woman within me that's not so distracted by shiny objects and ideas. May I appreciate the subtle beauty of the little things and express that joy out into the world. Forget sweatin' the small stuff. Life's reminded plenty of times that it's too short for that! #dontsweatthesmallstuff #appreciation #downdogma #peacecrane2017 #dream #sunrise #mindstrongmonday
