The midlife yogis are back. We stretched. We learned, We shifted. You can’t spend a week in the rainforest and not look at your life and the world differently. It’s a new year and if you want this year to be better than last year, make a shift. I left the rainforest knowing this [...]
We lost four midlife yogis this sixth day of our seven-day Costa Rica yoga retreat. Not to the Howler monkeys, jaguars, or heat, but Charles, Virginia, Carlos, and Molly had to return to their respective worlds and responsibilities. Seven of us remain steadfast in the rainforest still searching for our Dan-Tian, yogi’s edge (highest krama), [...]
The Yellow Brick Road led me to a Yoga retreat deep in the jungle with ten other midlife yogis. Isolated from all distractions, we follow a narrow, well-lit path each day to our place of practice, place of replenishment, and place of rest. It’s all so simple here where pura vida (pure life) is the [...]
I want you to ’have the best’ this holiday season by releasing your inner Grinch. As we’re getting ready for a huge paradigm shift on Christmas Day, I’m asking, ”How will your inner Grinch sabotage your holiday–and what might have been possible for you NEXT year:” When you gather with family do you get caught up in a replay of old arguments? Feeling less than happy for others doing well [...]
Larry Sparks was a real trooper and soldier. He served in the U.S. Army from 1963 to 1965 while stationed in Germany with the 32nd Battalion, 11th Armored Calvary. He cried every Veteran’s Day. I can almost see him sitting in his green recliner today as a silent solider. He’d quietly look forward into the past [...]

I learned how to pick up the pieces and go home in midlife. I learned power washing a deck in 103-degree weather with a hand-cranked, museum worthy, gas-pressure washer while admirable, sucks. I learned a 49-year woman with a master’s degree doesn’t trump a 29-year old with tats and an attitude when searching for a job [...]
I play tennis every Wednesday with my midlife friends. After a friendly match last night, one of my female opponents said she thought I was deeply evil. I corrected her and said I’m not evil; I’m aggressive. We were playing a version of Australian Doubles except there were three instead of two people in a [...]
Are you constantly tuned into noise? Air pollution, irritating radio commercials, screaming children, a football game blasting from the living room TV? I burned a CD for my swinging soul sister girlfriends this weekend. Please download and listen to these songs in your car, on your iPod, prior to girl’s night out, or when you [...]
Some of you may have noticed I’ve changed the name of this blog from Scared Stable to Midlife Mona Lisa. The reason is simple. I’m no longer scared and I’m not going to waste another day not radiating the joy, beauty, and exuberance I have to share with the world and my readers. The thinking [...]
