The Incredible Power of a Single Breath

We don’t enroll in classes to teach us the mechanics of breathing and we don’t go to sleep at night worried about whether or not we’ll remember how to breathe when we wake up.  We simply breathe as an automatic, natural reflex.

Unfortunately, despite it being a natural reflex, breathing is something that many of us do incorrectly–especially at times of great stress.  Rather than taking deep breaths that adequately fill our lungs and invigorate us, we take shallow, hurried breaths that can deprive the brain of oxygen at a time when we need it the most and leave us feeling fatigued.

The next time you feel overwhelmed, hurried or stressed out (none of which are anywhere near FabYOUlous!) try this technique…

What Does it Mean to be Spiritual?

This is a question that I get asked a lot and admittedly, it’s a difficult question to answer. I think that the difficulty lies in the fact that there are so many possible answers out there depending upon whom you ask.  A Tibetan Monk is likely to provide a very different answer than a Catholic Priest would.  A Wiccan Priestess will no doubt define spirituality much differently than would a Jewish Rabbi or Muslim Imam.

Does this mean that there is no correct way to answer the question “what is spirituality?” I don’t believe so.  Instead, I believe that this simply means that spirituality should only be defined by one’s own personal experience of it.  Connecting to our spirit is a highly individualized practice and yet it is one of the quickest ways that we can truly embrace, honor and radiate the FabYOUlousness inside of us.

Learning Hard Lessons the Hard Way

Life isn’t fair.  Sometimes there is just no way around it.  We do our best, we hope for the best, we cross our fingers and toes and yet sometimes life just still has a nasty way of whacking us across the face with a two by four.

That happened to me today.  I got a phone call that set me reeling and got me thinking about things that I usually try to avoid thinking about.  I got a call to tell me that an amazing friend whom I love and admire has been given maybe a year to live.
