My Author's Journey....

Quick book update: I am now working with a Revisions Editor! I am re-reading and re-tooling my work. It is an interesting process especially given the subject matter but overall this experience has been instrumental to my continued healing.

In this phase of the project, I am also selecting excerpts to share such as this one from my Introduction:

I am writing to you while in this state of acute grief.

Like yoga, living with grief is a practice. For millennia, the yogins have studied myth, posture and breathing techniques to develop algorithms for coping with the gifts and challenges of embodiment including the challenge of loss.

I want to share my journey with you but please don’t think of this as a guide book for navigating your grief. Instead, think of me as your companion on this journey, a friend to turn to when you feel overtaken by the specter of grief.

I am a yoga practitioner and teacher. I came to the practice after my own brush with death in 2006 when my heart rate went up to 300 beats per minute and I coded. At the time, I was under a huge amount of stress and returned to yoga as a way to return balance to my life.

I also want to once again thank those that have already purchased a copy of the book and various incentives during my presale. Would you like to join my twenty and counting supporters? If so, here is the link:
