Breathe On - Yoga

Twenty years ago today, the sun was warm, fiery and bright, and you came out matching it. You have grown up to be kind, witty, and sharp as they come. Resilient as the salmon fly you were named for. You make my heart burst with pride. Happy birthday twenty looks good on you. love you, Finn. ✨❤️🏆

Ten years ago, my fifteen-year-old packed his bags and stepped into a life most kids his age can’t imagine. It felt both far too early and exactly right for him.

He left home for prep school, and from there the path carried him through the USHL the BCHL and eventually the NCAA. Each stop a little farther from home. Each year a little more his own.

It meant billets and long bus rides. Tough seasons and hard losses. Injuries pushed through, exams studied for in hotel rooms, and a lot of growing up in rooms I’d never seen.

Hockey has a way of doing that. It asks for everything: discipline, humility, resilience, the willingness to get back up after a hit.

There’s a quiet grief that lives inside that pride. When your child leaves so young, you miss the ordinary years, the kitchen conversations at odd hours, drives to practice the small unremarkable moments, the subtle, almost invisible ways a teenage boy becomes a man. You don’t get to witness it. You only get to recognize it, later, when he’s standing in front of you.

But what ten years gives you, if you’re lucky, is perspective.

This weekend, his team won the AHA championship and punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history. Back to back. He was there for both.

The independence, the discipline, the character he carries weren’t given to him. He built them. Often far from home. And moments like this are why.

Arlo, you left home young to chase something bigger than comfort. Watching the man you’ve become has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

I’m so proud of you

Happy 25th birthday, Arlo.
Having you in my life is such a gift. Watching you grow into the man you are has been one of my greatest joys. Your kindness, quiet determination, and the way you work toward what matters mean more to me than you know. I’m so proud of you, always. I love you. 💙🫶Muzzer

Moving into 2026 🎇

6 Years Without Alcohol

I noticed my sobriety anniversary was a few days late. I almost let it slip by unmarked, but the messages I get from sharing always make it worth it.

A temporary break turned permanent; releasing alcohol and the reasons behind it reshaped me in subtle but significant ways.

This milestone is still a celebration, It’s a way of being. And for me, life is better here

Final Continuous Conscious Breathing Session of 2025

December 14 • 7pm On The Mat Yoga

We’ll gather one last time this year for a deep journey into the breath. This is an intense, conscious practice that clears, softens, and opens the inner space we often neglect.

This isn’t gentle breathwork. It asks for presence, courage, and a willingness to meet yourself honestly.
But the release, clarity, and spiritual lightness on the other side are worth every moment of the work.

If your heart or intuition feels the pull, I’d be honored to hold space for you.

Happy 19th!!!!

You came into the world a ginger—with the fiery personality to match and you’ve been lighting up my life ever since.

You are one of the nicest people I know. Kind in a way that’s rare. You care so much about the people you love, and you show it without ever needing to say a word.

I’m endlessly proud of you, and being your mom is one of the greatest joys of my life.
