Happy (day after) Mother’s Day! Or, uh, should I rename it “Disappointment Day?” I can’t take credit for that name—it was Philippe’s brainchild. A few days before Mother’s Day I saw yet another ad for “Don’t forget Mom!” and said jokingly to my family, “Hey! It’s Mother’s Day this Sunday! Hope you’re prepared!” Philippe,
I laugh a lot. Mostly, what I laugh at are: Myself My kids Seinfeld DVDs Modern Family DVDs Myself: Philippe and I had just had a meeting at a big sporting company that had asked us to potentially partner with them. I’m usually the talker in meetings (no surprise there) and this meeting

I was impressed and inspired by his generosity and commitment. He’s done it “forever” he said. This year, he took em to the
Last Spring I was noticing some beverage “shrinkage” in our yoga studios. Shrinkage is a fancy word for stealing. We sell water, coconut water, and Kombucha at Prana Power Yoga and, well, the numbers don’t lie. But apparently some yogis do. I wrote an email to our amazing Prana family explaining that they
My four youngest Kids were on a disney cruise with Philippe and his Mom so I could finish my book and to say that Super-mom was super focused on writing is an understatement. When you’re kids are occupied n happy you make the most of that time. You leverage it. I get more done
Please read Part 1 from last week before you read this. I get a lotta emails everyday. Don’t we all. Sigh. But this email, this email caught my eye even though it was a group email. A Prana teacher was asking if anyone could adopt a five year old cat. Her friend was
Philippe and I have five kids ages 1-14. We adore them. I recently stopped nursing our twin one year old sons at 21 months. So now is the first time in about 15 years that I haven’t been nursing, pregnant, or trying to get pregnant. There was a few year period during a transition when
