Yesterday I was playing with my 4-year-old daughter, Sabina, and she cheerfully stated “I love Sabina!” To which I replied, “Me too! What do you love about Sabina?” She said, “I love that she is funny and her cute little butt.” This made me laugh and melt. What genius children possess.

Love List: Build a Pitt Crew
December 1, 2010
Champion, Last week I shared my daily practice. This week I want to clue you in on my monthly self-care plan. I admit, my daily practice doesn’t happen every single day, but it happens more days than it doesn’t. So you do the math. If there are seven days in a week that means that I check in with myself at least four mornings per week. Remember, we’re spiritual athletes and we need to warm… Read More >

One morning five years ago, I received a phone call that would change my life forever. My brother called to tell me that our father had slipped on ice, fallen and was at that moment being taken into emergency surgery. He continued to tell me our dad had suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, and his chance of survival was very small. As miracles go, we were graced with a grand one when my dad… Read More >

Today I want to talk to you about one of my life’s passions: Acupuncture. Acupuncture, one of the oldest healing practices in the world, is an alternative healing modality used to restore and maintain health. Fine sterile needles are placed at specific points of the body, which stimulate qi (life force energy). Acupuncture can be used for many ailments but must be performed by a qualified practitioner to be safe and effective. Our body is… Read More >

Meghan Telpner Just three years ago I was sick, I was tired and I was so afraid that this was as good as it was going to get. I didn’t know how to cook, had done maybe a handful of yoga classes and was surviving on rice cakes and margarine. Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that this is where I would be today, healthier, stronger and happier than ever before in… Read More >

Bianca Beldini, M.S.O.M., L.Ac, P.T. “Every adversity carries with it a seed of greater benefit.” If anyone knows me, they would tell you that this is my daily tag line. I read it for the first time 10 years ago in a book written by Napolean Hill but didn’t really understand it until adversity slapped me in the face, knocked me to the ground and dragged me through the streets of NYC’s financial district on… Read More >

Laura Benko, Feng Shui Consultant In 2001 I came down with a bad upper respiratory cold and upon a routine doctor visit, my blood work indicated something more serious was going on. After quickly being diagnosed with a rather grave prognosis, my head was in a WTF spin when 24 hours later my primary care physician was suggesting an “inevitable” bone marrow transplant. Three other opinions and extensive tests all later confirmed a different type… Read More >
