Happy New Year of 2018!

I absolutely love the new year.  It's not my favorite holiday - that's a secret to most - but I love an excuse to celebrate fresh new starts and fresh new perspectives.  Every day is a new day, every moment is a new moment... we can create change, reflect, and create intentions on a regular basis but there is something about the new year that simply is a new start.

I invite you to apply one of the main yogic principles, and principles of Ayurveda, that is also simply science:  like attracts like.  Is what you love really a love for you?  Is the practice or habit that makes you feel the best the practice that is truly the best for you, to create balance?  Quite often we are drawn to those actions and ac...
