An Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramanhansa Yogananda.
To still my mind, I pause and take a deep, conscious breath of gratitude that I am alive in this moment. As I inhale, my diaphragm expands and as I exhale, it contracts. I continue until I am connected with my higher, inner, Self once again.
Three years ago, I transitioned to a vegetarian, then vegan diet, incorporating a weekly day of fasting. Now, I feel lighter, cleaner, and healthier. And, my karma has greatly improved as well.
Bear Grylls makes survival in nature look so easy and he keeps a cheerful outlook throughout life’s surprises.
I love visiting/exploring new places that I haven’t been before, both in the city and the natural world. Internationally, I’ve frequented France, Bali, Greece, and Spain. But, locally in California, I return to Catalina Island and Yosemite National Park often.

Half Sun Salutation, also known as Ardha Surya Namaskar, is a simple vinyasa (movement with breath) that can release tension in the shoulders, neck, lower back, and hamstrings while building strength in the core and legs. From standing tall in Mountain Pose, inhale to reach both arms up to the sky, exhale to turn the palms out, lean forward and release the arms and head toward the earth. Inhale to slightly bend the knees and reach all the way back to the sky (palms facing each other), and exhale to bring them together at the heart’s center.
Mostly vegan. On very rare occasions when traveling or dining out, I may order a vegetarian entrée (but never meat) if a vegan option is not available.
Again, how could I choose just one! I’ll start with sweet potatoes, then arugula, artichokes, beets, brussel sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, green beans, etc.
