String Rings: a beautiful reminder to be kind, patient, loving, forgiving...

String-Ring

Is this the cutest ring ever? I want one so much (going immediately on my Christmas list, and I am trying to be really good this year.) And a beautiful new twist on an old way of helping us to remember to be things like...

patient

kind

gracious

loving

forgiving

Some days, I probably need one of each of these on each finger! Check them out, here.

And, while you are at it PLEASE go meet the NICE people at Operation Nice...they really are so nice, and they inspire niceness...and...if you tell them your story of nice, you might win a String-Ring!

Be nice to someone you day. Go a step further, be nice to someone you really don't like. Find yourself, inside of them, and open up the doors of compassion and love.

"Through compassion you find that all human beings are just like you."

– HH The Dalai Lama

Kripalu Yoga: Exploring the Yoga of Life

I am a Kripalu Yoga teacher, so I know I am biased, but I really think the Kripalu tradition is one of the most accessible and compassion-centered approaches to yoga.

If you are new to yoga, or just don't know about Kripalu Yoga, the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health Website is a great place to start. The center is located near Lenox, in the Berkshire mountains of western Massachusetts, and it is a fabulous place. They offer classes, workshops, retreats, and teacher-trainings in practically every yoga tradition in the world. World renown teachers come from around the globe to teach there. It is also an amazing place to just go relax, eat some healthy vegetarian food, take a yoga class, hike in the hills or swim in the lake, and just chill out! I spent a month there during my teacher training and it was one of the best things I have ever done.
