Yoga brings calm to my mind and clarity to my writing. In addition to my day job as a storyteller, it's a profound privilege for me to teach tonight's 5:30 Moon Flow yoga class at Moksha Yea - Yoga & Embodiment Arts (formerly We Be Yoga studio). With deep appreciation for all of the teachers who've encouraged me along the way! https://mokshayogaembodimentarts.as.me/schedule/fb2e2f59

Yoga improves my focus and balance, builds strength and resilience, and helps me keep my head on straight in this world. This spring, after 2+ decades of practice, I finally jumped into We Be Yoga teacher training, juggling weekend hours and hybrid study with running my 5-year-old business. I was nervous about trying to do both.

But, yoga and my work have flourished in interesting ways: growth mindset, my people developer skills, confidence, connections with a supportive community, learning anatomy, and how ancient Sanskrit principles are ever relevant today, the power of teachers to take the complex and make it simple. Breathing in the present moment.

I have many teachers and other people to thank, including my family, who've encouraged me, rolled out their mats for my fledgling practice teaching, and shown up for classes.

I did not set out to be the family obituary writer. But in my first job at the old Today's Spirit daily newspaper in Hatboro, 40+ years ago, the only open writing jobs were weather stories and obits.

Few are prepared for the loss of a loved one, and even fewer can write about that person while grieving. Here's what I've learned...

Get the core information correct, and remember that memories and stories are also very important.

Core information: Name, age, hometown, spouse, survivors.
Signature stories: What was she/he passionate about? Get descriptive. Be colorful.
Legacy. What was she/he known for?
Examples: Served the homeless, had the best decorations on Halloween, snappy dresser, beautiful church singer, loved to pull scary pranks…
Option to include a cause/causes people can donate to instead of flowers.

Running a business brings challenges, stressors, and growth opportunities. It also lets you set your own schedule, so you can make sacred time on your calendar for exercise. Early this year, I decided to take a 200-hour yoga teacher training at We Be Yoga. While I love to work one-on-one or in small groups, I've never been comfortable speaking in front of people. This training provided a chance to study the ancient yoga sutras, deepen the practice that has given me so much clarity over the years, and push through my comfort zone. Learning and practicing more has heightened my business focus and helped me stay in the present moment at a challenging time in the world.
Heather Petrosky, Melissa Hayden Leach and duffy have created a wonderful community. Come move and breathe with us! I'm teaching a donation class at 11 am this Sunday: https://www.webeyogastudio.com/book-classes

Solopreneurs, are you bringing your best self to your work?

I've been doing yoga and lifting weights at We Be Yoga studio consistently for the past year, and it's helped me not only build strength but manage my business and provide respite from the news cycle.

What activities could you add to help you reach that higher bar?

Grateful for this partnership to help Don't Stall, Just Call teach people the signs of alcohol poisoning--stumbling, mumbling, cool to the touch, vomiting, unresponsive--so they can make a call and save a life!

CJH Communications and I have been working on our radio commercials with Beasley Entertainment WXTU 92.5 FM in Philly for close to a year. FINALLY I heard it last night! My husband and I were stopped at a red light, we turned and looked at each other, pleasantly shocked as I fumbled to get this picture. YESSS, OUR DSJC AD SOUNDS GREAT!!!! Immediately waves of gratitude hit me, after all these years the DSJC messaging is being heard on the airwaves of the 2nd largest country station in the USA and creating awareness and educating parents, young adults and minors to make safer choices around alcohol.

My roots as a journalist are part of my DNA. Curiosity and a quest for authenticity fuel my work. I take the time to understand each client personally, ensuring their unique voice and expertise shine through without relying on AI shortcuts.

You're looking for a job, but feeling overwhelmed by the process. I can help bring forward momentum, strategy, and accountability to guide you.
