The articles, essays and poems here are a piece of me. They are my intimate thoughts and feelings, the ramblings that spiral through my head, the joy and sorrow that I feel every day. They are also a compilation of wisdom from many sources outside of myself. Teachings, information, and insights that have been generously shared by humble teachers and guides.

I write, with pencil on paper most days, to help me breathe easier. I share with you here, to inspire you and myself. I want all of us to know that our voices are important. That what we have to say matters. Sharing with you, is how I remind myself of this.

What you will read here comes from my lived experience. My experience living the practice of yoga philosophy and āyurveda, along with my experience living the practice of being human in this world of beauty and tragedy. Yes, I have studied and received certifications. I have learned and forgotten facts. But actually having a living practice is what gives value to anything I share.

Much of the wisdom I have gained in this lifetime comes from living and working within the context of the militarized desert that exists within the borderlands of southern Arizona, USA and northern Sonora, MX. The desert borderlands have shaped me in a way no classroom or temple ever could.
