to the moon and back:
a childhood under the influence
Share the Hope

Right here, right now, I am in joy
My thoughts were going a mile a minute this morning. I was on my way to my yoga practice; it was a gorgeous, sunny spring morning; and I was caught in a situation in my mind, trying to figure it out, going over and over – and over and over – what wasn’t working and...
