Always dance in your kitchen
Why is it so hard for us to ask for help? And when we manage to ask, why do we feel guilty?
Recently one of our beloved sisters found her voice, found her feet, and found a sweet little space of her own with something she's always wanted: a kitchen where she would dance. Nobody could put her there until she was ready; but when that moment came, the Sisterhood sprung into action in a flurry of painting, cleaning, lending, and most of all, supporting. It was a beautiful thing. In the wee hours of Saturday morning we danced that kitchen for all its worth.
Because the truth is that girls actually do like to help. We like to feel needed in tough times, and we like to be part of a celebration in good times. We can't do it all ourselves, and when we have taken the time to create and nurture a group of friends, we don't have to.

AAADD is running me
My ADD has been at an all-time high this week. I’ve started and stopped so many things that I surprise myself on the rare occasion that I actually get anything fully done by the end of the day.
Which reminds me of our Friday Funny. If you’ve been challenged this week with completing tasks, and are wondering if you suffer from AAADD (Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder), you’re not alone, Karma Sister! Watch this sister as she goes through exactly what plays out in my head quite regularly.

Gratitude & Tasmanian Devil
The moment I wake up, even before I open my eyes, I tend to run through my to-do list for the day.
I recently had a long discussion with my Gaiatri yoga tribe about sending gratitude first thing, yet each day I start by running through the requirements of each day instead. One of my greatest strengths - and weaknesses - is my intensity. I complete projects quickly when I have passion, but I never stop to look back and appreciate what I have created.
So this morning, I took a moment to reflect on my June.
I graduated from yoga teacher training.
I celebrated Cassidy's high school graduation and watched her accept the Drama award.
I have three daughters who made the honor roll.
I launched my passion: karmasisters.com.
I tear around like the Tasmanian Devil when I am in full speed. That’s just how I roll. But instead of ripping up landscapes I would like to think I have been planting a garden. Sure, there were times when I forgot to water and weed, but in the end, as I look back, I know that I have created a beautiful garden.
I am officially sending gratitude for my fantastic life. I am happy.
