    As a young woman traveling through her pubescent years, I remember, along with a friend, trying out new routines for washing our faces. We tried to use the most natural and effective products and routines to get the smoothest, softest skin despite all those breakouts. The process was just that… a process…but to me, it was no different than flossing and brushing my teeth (a process that to this day still takes me about 7 minutes!) I remember my friend’s mom being

    When I was around eleven years old, I started voice lessons. For any of you non-singers, here’s a quick little lesson: You have three registers to your voice. The lower is your “chest voice,” the voice most of us use for speaking. Then there’s your “middle voice,” the register that is usually the weakest and which is the transitional register, obviously, to your high register or “falsetto.” I remember being fascinated by these registers and

    “I’m the only one on this planet. No one else is going through what I’m going through. I’m not connected to anyone else because my mind, my body is separate from them. I want things a certain way and if I don’t get them, I’m going to be upset.” I think there was a point in time when I thought like this. And I imagine there are many people who think like this now. We have experienced the world in a certain way, through different situations, and

    “Sit still and focus on your breath. Focus on the rising and falling of your belly. When a thought comes in, just note that you had it, and let it float away. Label it, “Thought.” Don’t judge the thought for what it is. Just let is float away….” RRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr! (Car tires screeching to a halt). What?! Sit Still and think of….NOTHING!? That’s Crazy pants! I remember thinking when I was first introduced to meditation as a pre-teen that it
