When setting goals at the beginning of the year, we do so with a strong determination to succeed. So why don’t we succeed? Why aren’t we getting the desired results? When I conduct group coaching on this theme, every year during my 40 Days of Life Coaching, Power Yoga, Pranayama, and Meditation program, I start […]
The Buddha says to get out of your suffering, you must let go of your attachments, your aversions and your ignorance.

The other day I got inspired by a thought: Have I ever had to explain what Love is to someone? Whenever I say “I love you” to someone they seem to understand what I mean. So I tried to imagine explaining the concept of Love to a child who hadn’t yet figured it out. If […]
