I'm convinced the Great Blue Heron is my spirit guide. Its message is 'patience'. They teach me. I hang with patience in their presence and in awe of these magnificent birds. When they move I click when they are still, I just sit. Only in the moment might you catch such stillness in motion - grace.

RIP my sweet girl. You are still here in our hearts and will be remembered for your graceful presence. Namaste Bella Tara.

Dear Yogini & Yogi Friends,

I’m so happy to finally share my new website with you.

As I mark 25 years on this path, I feel deeply grateful. Looking back, I’m touched by the presence, commitment, and trust of so many who have joined me in these practices and services over the years. You have shaped this journey in ways I could never have imagined.

This milestone isn’t mine alone—it belongs to our shared community and to all the moments we’ve spent breathing, moving, and growing together.

Thank you for walking this path with me. I look forward to seeing you soon and continuing to deepen our practice, connection, and presence together.

Much love and joy,
Mary

Following the Buddhist Walk for Peace.
☮️ ❤️🙏

Even though born into the animal realm,
this is a being shaped by compassion and past merit. 🐾🙏

These days, a gentle dog walking alongside Buddhist monks on their long pilgrimage across America has captured the attention of the entire world.
Not with words, not with noise —
but with quiet trust, calm presence, and unconditional love.

This image reminds us that compassion is not limited by species.
A heart filled with kindness reflects countless wholesome deeds carried through samsara.

As the Buddha taught:
“All beings fear suffering; all beings cherish happiness.”

No matter the form of birth,
a compassionate heart is the true sign of spiritual nobility —
and this silent companion walks the path with dignity, awareness, and grace.
