My Hibiscus Iced Tea Recipe and more on Wellness
Namaste & Hello,
It’s been a minute since my last communication.
I hope all is well and that you are staying balanced in this imbalanced world. I’ve been enjoying my summer quietly, while consciously resting in my own energy. I say “consciously resting” because so much of the world does not encourage us to do so. Instead, it keeps us on a hamster wheel, constantly chasing what’s next.
Many years ago, a dear friend of mine shared a story about an encounter he had with the great writer and mystic Maya Angelou. She told him, “If you don’t know what to do, then do nothing… just be.”
To this day, I still remember those words of wisdom she shared with him—and how liberating it can feel to simply do nothing when you find the space to pause. In our highly stimulated world, we’ve been conditioned to react to everything and rush from one task to the next without stopping. But what’s wrong with doing nothing in a free moment? The act of stillness allows us to reclaim our energy and bathe in the power of the present.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and find moments where you can consciously do absolutely… nothing.
Peace.

Upcoming Events
II’m excited to share that I’ll be offering my Bliss Principle: Stress to Bliss Lifestyle Program as a one-day mini retreat in Fall 2025. The retreat is based on my book, The Bliss Principle, and will be offered in person in the New York Metro area.
More information—including dates—will be available on my website’s events page starting in September.
Also, I’m thrilled to announce that my new book on grief and nature will be released this Fall as well.
This book shares my personal story and explores what I call unprocessed grief, or “grief soup,” that so many of us carry in today’s world. It’s meant to inspire and deepen our connection with nature—and reveal how nature guided me toward healing.
I look forward to sharing more in the coming weeks and showing you how to get your personal copy.
