“Lost time is never found again.”-Benjamin Franklin I’ve been thinking a lot about time lately. Time is the one thing we all have, and it’s the one thing
we never get back. Money can be replaced. Energy can return. But once a moment passes, it’s gone. That makes time our most valuable commodity.
And yet, we often spend it carelessly. We rush. We scroll. We move on to the next thing.
Sometimes we forget to give our time to what really matters—family, friends, experiences. When I look back, it’s never the busy days I remember most. It’s the meaningful ones. Pleasant conversations. Walks in nature. Moments that hang on. Quiet solitude.
The interesting thing is that even though we can’t make more time, we can change how we
experience it. In a way, we can bend time in our favor.
Presence is one way. When we’re distracted, time disappears. When we’re present, time expands.
Really listening. Pausing. Letting a moment linger instead of rushing past it. That’s savoring
time.
New experiences can bend time in our favor too. That’s why trips feel longer than routines.
Trying something new, changing patterns, creating memories—those moments make time feel richer when we look back.
Connection slows time in the best way. Being fully present with someone, choosing people over productivity, letting conversations run long. Those moments feel timeless.
And gratitude helps us savor it all. When we appreciate where we are, we stop rushing through our lives. We let moments last.
So maybe it’s not about getting more time.
It’s about savoring the time we have.
Letting moments linger.
Giving our time to what truly matters.
It’s about using our time wisely, because time is the one thing life never gives back.

You are enough
nor because you tried harder today, not because you checked every box or carried it all without dropping anything.
You are enough because you are here
breathing, becoming, still willing to soften.
You do not need to be fixed. You don’t need to arrive somewhere else to be worthy of rest, of love, of ease.
The ground already holds you exactly as you are.
Let yourself take up space without apology.
Let your heart be unfinished. Let today be imperfect.
Nothing essential is missing.
Nothing about you is behind. This moment is not asking you to be more.
Just to be.
Mantra:
I do enough
I have enough
I am enough

Happy Sunday!

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”-Marcus Aurelius Deb and I study and put into practice Stoicism, an ancient philosophy that teaches us to focus
on what we can control, let go of what we cannot, and the goal is to respond to life with more
calm, clarity and intention. At its heart, Stoicism is about living with virtue, resilience, and
gratitude. Opportunities will always arise in life, sometimes challenging, that allow us to put in
the work. Ryan Holliday has written several books on the subject including “The Daily Stoic”
which has short daily ideas that are practical and relatable for everyday living. As an example, i
will read something that Ryan posted previously.
Seven Stoic Don’ts =
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Don’t be overheard complaining-not even to yourself- Marcus Aurelius
Don’t talk more than you listen-2 ears one mouth- Zeno
Don’t tie your identity to things you own-because those things are fragile and can be taken
from you at any moment
Don’t compare yourself to others-comparison is the thief of joy-
Don’t suffer imagined troubles-it will either happen or it won’t- don’t suffer before you need
to-Seneca
Don’t judge other people- you mess up to
Don’t overindulge in food or drink-this is the idea of temperance or balance or the right
amount
Some great advise from Ryan at The Daily Stoic. Give these Don’ts a try and see how you feel:)

Deb and I got back last night from Maui. We had a really fun trip. We got zip-
lining in, jumped off some rocks next to a waterfall, and also ran in the Maui
Marathon event. I ran the half marathon and Deb did the 10K. Mostly though, we
relaxed.
I saw some signs while we were out and about and they said “Practice Aloha”. I
was curious and did a little research on the topic. Here’s a bit of what I found.
Aloha isn’t just hello or goodbye. It’s love, patience, kindness, compassion, and
respect. And the word practice is important, because it means we’re not expected to
be perfect. We’re just asked to try, again and again.
Being in Maui, you can feel it. People slow down. They’re present. There’s a
softness and a respect for each other It’s a reminder of how powerful it is when we
move through life with a little more heart.
On the mat, practicing aloha can be as simple as listening to your body instead of
forcing it. Letting go of comparison. Giving yourself permission to be exactly
where you are today. That’s aloha in action.
Off the mat, it might look like taking a breath before reacting. Being kinder in your
words. Offering someone grace. Or offering yourself grace, which might be the
hardest part.
We’re often so quick to push and judge ourselves. Practicing aloha means speaking
to yourself the way you would to someone you truly care about. With patience and
understanding.
So today, maybe just set a simple intention to practice aloha:
In how you breathe.In how you move.In how you think about yourself.
And then carry it with you when you leave and practice aloha thought the day. Not
perfectly. Just intentionally.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his unwavering commitment to justice, dignity, and unity.
At its heart, yoga is not just a physical practice—it is a practice of awareness, compassion, and connection. Dr. King spoke of a world where we recognize our shared humanity, where love is an active force, and where inner transformation fuels outer change.
Yoga asks something similar of us: to notice our conditioning, soften the walls that divide us, and act from clarity rather than fear. When we practice presence, nonviolence, and truth on the mat, we are invited to carry those values into our communities and our choices.
May today remind us that both yoga and Dr. King’s legacy call us to do the inner work that makes collective healing possible.

Settle into this moment as the earth settles beneath you. Feel the steady support of the ground, the quiet invitation to arrive. Let your breath move like water, washing through the body, carrying away what is finished.
Each exhale releases old weight.
Each inhale welcomes something new.
Nature never rushes its beginnings. Seeds open In their own time, light returns without force, and fresh growth rises because it is ready.
As you move or rest, listen inward. Your body remembers how to begin again with softness, with trust, with breath. There is nothing to chase here. Only space to grow.
Only this moment, fresh and alive, opening gently within you.
