I am looking forward to the rest of this year. Are you dearest reader? This has been an exciting summer with new things developing from the Inspired Mind Podcast and my yoga teaching.
I am currently teaching yoga in San Diego County at EOS Fitness gym in Encinitas, Carlsbad at Carlsbad Village Yoga, plus in Spirit Lake, Iowa at The Studio Yoga and Barre. Nothing gives me more joy than connecting with my yoga students in both California and Iowa.
In Encinitas at EOS Fitness, where I have been teaching now for over five years, I am also teaching Pilates classes. Teaching Pilates is similar to yoga. I love how both fitness routines bring us closer to our body and inside our mind by breathing deeper as we move through the poses our yoga mat.
The Inspire Mind Podcast is now in its fifth season. I have been podcasting since January 2020.
In 2022, The Inspired Mind Podcast was among the most shared podcasts in the world. In 2024,
the podcast went global, streaming into over 85 countries. This podcast specifically focus on methods to help anyone find more joy. How does one find joy and happiness through the trials of life? Simple, by focusing on the small joys right where you are and making the most of this beautiful life. Every situation or circumstance we encounter is a chance to grow and change. Finding joy during change can be challenging, but when we return to our breath and pay attention to our immediate life, miracles will begin happening all around you. When I say that, I am speaking from my own truth. Marianne Williamson stated “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.” When you no longer fear and you trust that love is a blessing and is protecting you, fear falls away as if it never existed. I just finished reading THE GAME OF LIFE AND HOW TO PLAY IT by Florence Scovel Shinn. This book focuses on the metaphysical aspect of our thinking and how we can change our world by altering our thoughts. Inside this book are many lovely mantras and affirmations. Florence Scovel Shinn published this book in 1925. Her wisdom transcends modern time as well. The language written the book fits the era of that time so she refers to woman and man as ‘man.’ I explain that in each episode.
Her books have influenced many leaders like:
*LOUISE HAY
*EMMET FOX
Here is the first chapter to listen to in this book. Click here to listen to the chapter now.
For the summer, I am reading James Allen’s classic self-help book AS A MAN THINKETH. Jame Allen was a famous Victorian philosopher that has stood the test of time. I have just read the first chapter this week. I look forward to reading the rest of the book under the golden sunsets in California and in Spirit Lake, Iowa.
Thank you for stopping by my website. I wish you well. Just know that you a unique individual and no one else walking the planet has the same gifts that you do. Remember, you are stronger than any circumstance that threatens to defeat your spirit. Keep going. Count each day as a blessing. Life is indeed precious, just like Mary Oliver suggested.
