Greetings!
The power of a smile.
As our lives become busier and our phones smarter, I began to wonder if people had forgotten the most basic of common courtesies: holding the door.
Last week I did a mini-study of this concept after walking into a public building behind a man in his 70s who let the heavy door slam shut right in front of me. That same morning at my office, a 20-something stepped in and out of the elevator in front of me with eyes only for his phone. This happened again the next day with a 40ish gentlemen. I was starting to feel invisible. So before I judged peoples upbringing and lack of manners or blamed it on their self-absorption, I decided to see if I could change the outcome by my own behavior. I began to engage people, say good morning, smile, and make eye contact. Wa La! Success in every age group and gender. It is amazing what a little awareness and a smile  can do to change a mood or someone's behavior - including our own.
The practice of yoga helps us become more aware of our surroundings and find calm in more chaotic moments. Let's remember to take the power of the practice off the mat and into the world.

I'm Thankful for: 
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie!
I bet you know someone who has given up gluten. More people are becoming aware of the problems gluten can cause in those of us that are sensitive or allergic to it. Digestive challenges, inflammation, and autoimmune disease can all be blamed on the seemingly innocuous component of wheat: gluten.
Giving up gluten can bring relief from a host of symptoms, but it takes attention and commitment. The holidays, with all the wonderful meals, parties, and get-togethers, can be especially challenging because wheat is such a common ingredient in so many foods. But with a little know-how you can adapt your favorite recipes to be gluten-free. Below is one of my favorite holiday treats:
