Spontaneous Travel

Posted | 0 comments

Claim what you want. Seriously. There is such incredible power in giving yourself permission to feel into what you want.

I wrote less than a month ago that I wanted this year to be filed with spontaneous travel – and we just returned from Puerto Rico. We booked the trip Saturday evening and left early Tuesday morning. And it was magical. Sunshine, naps, early mornings meditations on the balcony, the soundtrack of the ocean, black beans and plantains = straight up bliss.

Take time to plant seeds and then celebrate once they have found a way to fully express themselves. Give them room to grow and open up to receive.

And just so you know the full moon is a perfect time to claim what you want to call into your life.  Join us for a Pop – Up Full Moon Yoga class!

Weekend Away : Berlin

Posted | 0 comments

We are back in Frankfurt after a whirlwind – but sweet – four day trip to Berlin.  We certainly didn’t see it all, but hopefully we will be back to pick up where we left off.

With the amount of trains, planes, and automobiles this kid has been on before the age of 1… Luca is either going to LOVE or HATE traveling.

We ate at Katz Orange on our last night where both the meal and the view were divine.  We munched on ‘hand cut french fries fried in organic goose fat’ and sipped really nice wine.  Luca slept the entire meal which is always an added bonus.

There was a lot of walking, leisurely breakfasts, glasses of prosecco, coffee with real Berliners, finds at the Maurpark Flea Market, and a lunch at Hasir’s plus little flecks that reminded me of Brooklyn, which made me excited for our return in less than one month (!?).

Pausing Before I Begin Again

Posted | 0 comments

Vacation is awesome. Ten days of it is just blissful. Before I zip into my Frankfurt life immediately forgetting all the peace and ease of yesterday and the many days before, I’m going to pause. Pausing is always good.

Hammocks make me so happy.

Luca naps may make me even happier.

And may pieces of my yesterdays stay with me today.
