A Yogi Kitchen Off The Mat

Happy Wednesday Loves! The Magic is electrifying! Do you feel it? I took even more time to be still and quiet and it is sprouting so much Magic. Busyness is draining us for no reason. It’s making us less productive, more stressed and exhausted. It’s taking away our creativity, making it harder for us to feel connected, to connect with a higher frequency and feel good about ourselves Busyness never...

Hello Loves! Are you loving Magic? It’s such a good word. Today I shared how it’s really opening me up and connecting me with some of our great words from the near past. Do you feel Magic connecting you with Joy? Gratitude? Community? I’ve been craving more community after the last year of being fairly quiet. This week one of our yoga sisters, Diane, shared food with me and reminded me that Food i...

Happy Thursday! The pixie dust is starting to sprinkle and I can feel the Magic in the air. Do you feel it? For the next few weeks we’re focusing on more and more Magic in our lives. Do you know how to feel it more clearly? Release. Get really clear by retting things go that you don’t want or need any more. Feel how your frequency shifts. This isn’t easy work. Most people don’t do the big work, bu...

Happy Tuesday loves! Yesterday I had a craving for more connections dm communication. Like magic the old habit Monday Meetings popped into my head. I think I must have stopped when my mom was in the hospital. So, I recorded the episode and then promptly forgot to publish it. Often when I do that I’ll just publish the next day. Today, I decided to just record again and make it a Tuesday meeting. I...

Happy 2026! Everything is new and nothing is new. It’s a new year, but we’re in the same season. So, it’s still time to rest, dream, nap and be still. It’s not time to be busy, which the man-made calendar year asks us to do. We’re going to jump into new energy as we approach Year of the Horse and the Spring Equinox. Right now we’re planting seeds for what the time of renewal and germinating looks...

Happy Day Loves! Well, I was so proud and happy with myself for recording about our pop-up week as soon as o knew all the details. Then I didn’t post. Well, to be perfectly honest, I must not have hit publish, cause I can’t find anything I wrote. So here we are in the last few days of 2025 and I want to invite you to one last pop-up to release anything that still may be lingering. Don’t worry if y...

Happy Sunday Lives! We’re in the last few days of focusing on Joy. My biggest Joy? The quiet, rest and napping that this seasons begs you to do. Holy crap! It’s my new super power. My rested brain is magic. The biggest shift that’s been happening is this last push of energy around release. What is your life inviting you to release? To end? To let go? I don’t who released whom, but it feels like St...

Happy Saturday and Welcome Back Melissa! Loves, I took more quiet time. I processed, rested and was still. It was the best thing I could have not planned. I’ll talk more soon, but it was the one year anniversary of Steve’s death. I was quiet. I waited for the inspiration to record and I’m so glad I did. This weekend is the new moon arms am open portal for manifesting all the way into mid 2026. I h...

Hello my loves! I’ve been quiet, taking naps, resting and being still and it’s been absolute Joy. I love how powerful my brain gets when I step away from being busy and I take care of any mental or emotional exhaustion right away. At first I got quiet because Thanksgiving was the last milestone without Steve, my last first and then this powerful Cold Full Moon rolled in and it just really hit me....

Happy Tuesday Loves! I hope you had a lovely long weekend full of family, friends, love and most of all, Joy! I have overflowing Gratitude for all of you and how you show up with your love and support for me, but especially how we all took care of our community members for the holiday. Thank you so much! I also have a lot of gratitude for a quiet week, being still and reflecting, napping, assessin...

Happy Wednesday Loves! Last week we pulled the Listening card and I took some time to listen to the rhythm I’ve been craving mind/body/spirit. So, I didn’t record all week till today. My brain started filtering for Joy! Has yours made the shift? It took me a little longer than it sometimes does. It’s another part of Listening and Serenity, the other card I pulled last week. I have so much gratitud...

Happy Wednesday Loves! Our word is Joy and while I didn’t mention it in this episode, I want to remind you to do a mind-week check-in. How Aligned are you with the intention you set Sunday with Joy? I’ll admit I wasn’t doing so great. Today I finally shifted from our last word, Align to fully step into deepening my joy practice. It’s sooo good. What are you doing to step into joy? I also mentioned...

Happy Sunday! Let’s take a bit of time together to he quiet and focus in on Joy. This week I had a little trouble moving away from focusing on Align to put all of my attention o. Joy. It worked in my favor and I’m starting to see a future that’s well Aligned with my heart. How was your week? Did you shift into Joy better than I did? It’s all a journey and things are happening the way they’re suppo...

Happy Thursday Loves! I mentioned in the last episode that I’d pull cards for the week and then I forgot. I guess I was so excited about our new word that I got distracted. Today’s episode is a mini. Just a quick hello to let you know I’m thinking of you and to hello you stay on track with your intention this week. We are diving deeper into our Seva practice this session. So, plan on joining us to...

Happy November Lovelies! On Friday we said goodbye to Align and I spent a day or so reflecting on all the lessons I learned last session. Align brought me to gratitude, and so much clarity. So much clarity. It inspired me to re-examine my core values and take a look at how well Aligned my actions are with my values. We have a lot of ease this session and I shared some new , fun things coming up th...

Happy Sunday! We’re finally having fall here in Lawrence, loves. I hope you’re enjoying October. Now that it feels like spooky season, I’m super excited. As on so many Sundays I invite you take time to set intention. To help us shape the week I pulled cards from Tricia Hersey’s Rest Deck and Doreen Virtue’s Healing With Angels Cards. Pulling cards is a great way to help shape a meditation, journal...

Happy Thursday Loves! Wow! Wow! Wow! The universe spoke directly to me and I didn’t even see it right away. On Monday I picked some cards to help guide me this week. I use them to guide my random thoughts, my meditations, my dreams, my journaling, my conversations, my connections and it’s been soooooo good so far. It cracks me up how I’ve been contemplating this exact thing for months now, just no...

Happy Monday! I feel this week’s greatness in my bones! I know that you got this. It might not be butterflies, sunshine and rainbows, but it’s going to be a fantastic week. You believe me right? I was right about last week. Here’s the funny thing. I always tell you that the best things don’t go smoothly. Our growth mindset means that things will go wrong, cause that’s how you learn. You learn from...

Happy Tuesday Loves! We are STILL in full moon energy and it’s so yummy. Yesterday I was super intentional about my energy. I watched the documentary about John Batiste, American Symphony on Netflix cause I knew it was going to help me connect with the energy of this full moon, which is asking us to release fear and go after what sets your soul on fire with confidence and excitement. Last night we...

Happy Sunday! Popping in on a Sunday and sharing how the week is shaping up has been in my list for a while. Consistency and continuity has also been on my list for a while. I love when there’s lots of free space in my life for some randomness and spontaneity. I love that everyday is different, but it can lead to some dropped balls. For the next month I’m looking for the middle ground. I still dis...

Happy Friday Lives! I did it again. I was all proud of myself for recording midweek and then forgot to post. So here’s my excitement about October recorded on the 1sr. This week is about cutting out the things you don’t want in your life. Don’t judge it as good or bad, think of it as what’s in the way of how you really want to live and what you really want in your life. Cut out anything that gets...

Happy Monday Loves! Do you feel it? It’s going to be such an amazing week. I’m feeling it. Do you? I feel it for you! You’re going to have a fantastic week. It may not be easy. Hard things may happen, but you’re going to connect with this heightened energy and remember who you are. You got this! As soon as often happens when I’m processing out loud I figured out my issue with receiving messages. I...

Happy Wednesday Loves! On Wednesdays I invite you to take some time to get quiet and notice how your week is going. How do you want to move forward. Do you feel it? Are you loving it? Do you feel this big shift in energy everyone is talking about? It’s sooo delicious. Take time today to be present so you can connect with this energy that is helping us vibrate higher. My heart is open, I’m standing...

I recorded and posted yesterday. I’m not sure why it didn’t publish. It’s okay, set intention today if you haven’t already! Happy Sunday Loves! It took all of my energy to get here today. My microphone quit working. More than once and I didn’t realize and kept recording for a while. So I had to find my place and go back to re-record. I lost the recording for a bit, realizing it was in my recently...

Happy Monday Loves! It’s going to be a great week! How do I know? Cause it just keeps getting better and better. I’m feeling it, you’re sharing it and lots of us are posting about it. This Harvest Full Moon is helping us reap the fruits of our hard work setting intention, planting seeds and nurturing our ideas and dreams. It’s all coming to fruition. Yesterday we took time to be still and move slo...
