Beach yoga ~ happy to be home. I start w/ an intention: hands in prayer (3rd eye): “I know my truth” hands at throat chakra: “I speak my truth”, hands at heart: “I live my truth”

Finding balance in yoga is like finding balance in life—sometimes you wobble, sometimes you fall, but each time you return to center, you grow steadier, stronger, and more at peace.

Yes! LoveThis.

Seems claustrophobic to me… but I love that it brings warm memories for you. Signed, Love Living in the Sun by the beach

Artists are vital witnesses and truth-tellers, able to cut through politics & denial to reveal the human cost of injustice. Through their work, they preserve memory, provoke reflection, & challenge the narratives that allow prejudice to grow—reminding us of our shared humanity before it’s too late.

On the road to Sarajevo today… already captivated before I’ve even arrived. This love affair with yoga has followed me through 70+ countries, and I can’t wait to see how it feels here.

Dubrovnik’s coast feels like Lake Como meets Greece, with a dash of the French and Italian Riviera. Inside the walls, Old Town is a mosaic of centuries — marble streets, spice scents, & the sea at its gates.

Last day on the catamaran (Cozcatl III, meaning still a mystery). We’re #sailing past the 4-hour gas line back to Split because we bought the fuel option. Pro Tip: pay more, skip the floating traffic jam, & spend those hours snorkeling in a cove instead of drifting in a line w/ no brakes.

Sailing isn’t a steep learning curve—it’s a deepening.
Rope by rope, we’re learning rhythm, not control.
Storms taught us calm.
Today, the sea is still, the sky is clear.
Presence, not perfection, carries us forward.
Brač ahead. Gratitude in the wake.

Sailing is movement through self.
As a writer, each day is a paragraph; each island, a chapter.
As a yogi, every knot & gust is tapas—heat that shapes you.
The page and the mat are the same: show up, breathe, & let the process reveal u.

Day 3: Pakleni Islands
Mooring + magic at The Fisherman’s House on Sveti Klement.
Exceptional food, warm family, and a sunset bell I got to ring after a hike through the island paths.
A sacred, simple joy.

Our boat went adrift while we were at dinner.
Bora winds. 45 knots. No visibility.
Boat gone.
Spotted it drifting—mooring ball in tow—toward rocks.
We chased it. Got aboard.
Re-secured w/ help.
Soaked, stunned, safe.
This was only Day 2.

Most people hire a captain — we just rented a catamaran and we’re #sailing ourselves to five islands from Split, Croatia.
Exhilarating & A Little Anxious — I couldn’t wish for more. Travel & adventure excites me like nothing else.

The real art of being elsewhere: grounded in Paris, dreaming of sailing Croatia. Learning the bowline—firm, flexible, like the parts of me that hold presence and anticipation. It’s not a contradiction, it’s integration. #IFS #theartofbeingelsewhere #travelpsychology

There’s something about a Paris balcony—part stage, part sanctuary—that turns even the simplest moment into a cinematic scene.

Sorry croissant, but the chouquette from Dunes Blanches owns me.
Proof the French still believe in craft, care, and actual ingredients — unlike our sad “Greek” yogurt back home.
Name one American food people fly across the world to eat. I’ll wait.

Reading Doppelganger by Naomi Klein. The idea of the “digital double” has me asking: Is Brand You more real than you? Are we performing identity for success — even authenticity? Do we have a choice not to? Where are you at w/ this?

Fotografiska in #Stockholm felt like a cathedral for the soul of photography. Anton Corbijn’s show was pure electricity—50 years of raw, iconic imagery that hits u right in the feeling.

that is so sad. I would pay anything to save every photo of my kids. priceless.

good question. wouldn’t it be wonderful if it was something beautiful. a girl can dream

It’s not overindulgence, it’s fuel. I need a second helping of everything because I’m sightseeing with vigor. That croissant? For stamina. The cardamom bun? For clarity. The crackle crisps made of seeds? Pure obsession—but also protein, right? I’m basically carbo-loading for culture. #Stockholm

A slow-burn sky over Stockholm.
The kind of light that doesn’t dip, just lingers—
like the city’s dreaming in color.
