I stand still inside my own storm. Petrified of being completely uprooted, i keep quiet and pretend i dont feel. I tune out my thoughts and decide to hide my words. I shield myself with a uniform attitude and a consistent rhyme. I reflect what every spectator desires to see while i lose my own reflection. I stand so still as not to wake up my mind, and remain silent as not to ruin my breathing pattern. I sway as the storm intensifies but i hold my ground. If i make the slightest move i will be so long gone. Except it is so hard to keep still without a firm hand supporting your own. I feel the breaking ground beneath me and i try to remain as i am. But i know how the ground will shatter, and how the storm will not let me stay. I know how my mind will violently wake up and how my heart will scream with cowardice. I know how it will happen and i realize i am void. I am so void that i will be nothing but a weightless body carried away. I did this so consciously to myself and now i begin to understand. It will not only be a physical journey but an emotional spiritual one as well. The storm will disclose all of my secrets and it will expose me. My mind and my heart will seperate so aggressively that i will no longer know which one to grab first. This storm will change my entire system and break all my laws. I will only be able to find myself and create when this storm subsides. So might as well let go and let it have its way with me.

This beautiful city and her colors. For those who donโt know my relationship to #mexico itโs a brilliant story of my grandfather who left a tiny village in Lebanon and travelled aboard ship to this continent. Here he created a life, and a lineage to which I proudly belong. I chose to come here to discover this country and uncover ancestral memory to help me heal and know myself better. (More on this soon on @upliftingletter ) I know well where that adventure streak comes from ๐ณ #knowyourancestors #knowyourroots #fromyogatolife
Mexico City spring dancing ๐ the glamorous back story: I bolted to the picture perfect scene overly excited, and started spinning ๐คทโโ๏ธ proud to say Iโve been a fan of #twirling in dresses for 29 years ๐ฅณ#sidewalks #mexicocity
#lightersideoflife ๐ In case itโs not obvious Iโm obsessed with animals. This series is proof. ๐ One major unchanging factor in my life is that I absolutely adore #Cats ๐ธ I believe all felines are connected in their consciousness, and if we open ourselves up, cats can connect to us too and show up in marvelous ways in aiding our spiritual growth. Deep I know! They are also so undeniably silly that Iโm thankful they exist to keep my heart light and remind me when I get too serious that we can all be both mystical and ridiculously silly and still make it through with a playful mentality ๐ #learningfromeachother #catlady
She got married at 16, and was sent away before completing her education from her small village in Lebanon to fucking New York. She learned English, completed high school, had children. Returned to Lebanon, went to college, worked full time, raised me and my brothers full time, then continued on to get her Phd. She became a university professor and still she worries about us full time. She taught me to be a rebel in a society that truly doesnโt care. She taught me to care about people, to have love and passion and always enjoy living. She continues to guide me and nudge me when I need a good shake. I am a continuation of you mom, and I carry you in my heart. I love you always and youโve always showed me the way! Happy Motherโs Day ๐
#vulnerablepost ๐ Looking back at the past year I cannot believe how blessed Iโve been. March 2020 I went on a supposedly two-week trip to #India that turned into 6 months. During that time I slowly lost everything I had identified myself and my life with for years. A relationship, a home, a job, and all my money(๐ฑ๐ง) in the midst of a terrifying pandemic...I felt like I failed in every investment I had made, I had lost it all. Or that was what I thought was all. You can see in some of these pictures how desperate I looked. And I post them intentionally for anybody who is in that state now to know that there is always hope. I was seeking for an answer. It came crystal clear though: ๐ฎOne thing remained in that funeral of my old life: My healthy body ๐ and my capacity to rise again. People laughed when I told them that one morning in my shitty room in India, I was surprised that I woke up because I genuinely believed i was going to die that night of despair, regret, fear and heartbreak. So today I am Blessed beyond belief and I am so focused on creating a life filled with joy and love for myself and anybody who crosses my path. Why? Because that is all there is. LOVE. ๐ค Tell the people you love, that you love them.๐#fromyogatolife
The best heart opening exercise? Practice really Loving ๐ #fromyogatolife
