Dear Body, I love you (Part 2)

There is so much information lately about how to transform our relationships and create healthy dynamics, and I appreciate it all so much. But I find myself wondering about a deeply important relationship dynamic that often gets neglected: the relationship with my body.

Mountain Tensegrity

I have a confession to make to you all– I am afraid of heights.     Yep, it’s true. And the word “afraid” is an understatement.
