There’s no easy way to grieve the loss of a parent. The waves of pain the last few weeks since my dad passed have been really hard no doubt, but these two ladies and their loving support is what keeps my chin up, and eyes on the horizon. Thankful for my sisters + husband for holding my hand & heart along the way. ❤️ - A dear friend shared this quote with me and it feels very fitting for today’s big feelings. {Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal Anonymous}

I’m curious white friends and family, what ACTION & steps are you taking to help dismantle racism and inequality in the world? Let’s make sure we are DOING way more than just posting on IG. We need to AMPLIFY the voices and lives of BIPOC beyond the screen! We need to DEMAND justice & change! ✋🏿✋🏾✋🏽✋🏼✋🏻 - Hold yourself & those around you accountable. Call, donate, sign petitions, protest, educate, support! - I’ll be posting ways in which I am currently taking & implementing for the long-term to be of better support for the Detroit BIPOC & birthwork community - Not sure where or how to start? Peek my IG stories for ways you can get involved too! - #blacklivesmatter #amplifymelanatedvoices

I’ve decided that 2020 will be the year I’m investing in quality time with family & friends. For the first time (besides maternity leave) I’m choosing to not teach yoga in a studio setting on the weekends in 8+years! - Yes, I’ll still be leading private sessions & events! ✨ - I am choosing to support my family, my personal time & personal growth a bit differently as of late then I used to... which seriously makes me feel so damn free and happy - I mean just look at these two! 💕 - That said, I’ll have more time and energy to brunch & take yoga, barre etc classes around town!
