No one talks about how hard it is… so let’s talk about it.
II can still remember when I first started practicing yoga, lying in savasana and wondering, Am I doing this right? My mind would race. My body would fidget. And when the teacher invited us to roll to one side, I didn’t know if it mattered—or why.
You are not your fear. You are not your anxiety. You are the stillness beneath it all.

Hello, beautiful soul. Welcome to this space—a space where the mind gets quieter, the heart opens wider, and your true self steps forward. Whether you’re new to meditation or you’ve been sitting cross-legged long enough to master the perfect “zen stare,” let’s dive into the heart of what makes meditation the life-changing practice it is. And yes, we’ll keep it light because laughter is, after all, medicine for the soul.
Hello beautiful one!✨ Most mornings, as the first light spills over the Sonoran Desert Valley and the Sunrise Mountain in our backyard, I wander outside to greet the day—the warmth, the plants, the rugged beauty that surrounds Blisstopia Retreats. I settle among the chickens, chaparral and mesquite trees, letting the stillness of dawn guide me as I set my intentions. Now that the desert is shifting from summer’s intensity into fall’s softer touch literally overnight, the landscape transforms with new energy, as if the desert taking in a long deep cool breath getting a reprieve from the long summer’s heat. This morning, as I sat in our wild space watching nature wake up with crispness in the air, it struck me—when change comes, nature just lets go. There’s no resistance, no holding on. It’s as if every tree, every bud, just knows: when it’s time, it’s time. There’s trust in the flow, even as the colors change and things shift toward darkness.
