As headlines over the last 24 hours have filled with more terrorist attacks on two continents (at least that I know of,) I thought to myself, what can we do in times like this?  What can one ordinary person do?  Anything?  Everything?  Nothing?  Actually, I dare say a lot.

You know what's keeping me up buzzing late at night these days?  Authenticity.  It's the central word that is pumping through my veins when I'm moving.  It's the silent sound in silence.  It's reverberating in my coaching, peering back to me in questions from students in yoga classes, and in conversations with trainees during yoga teacher trainings.  It's become the central starting point of my current work and gracing the alter of my mind in my own spiritual practice.
