World, Why?

These images show the arrest of two pastors and a 90-year-old man in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Sunday, November 2, 2014. Arrested for feeding the homeless. An image of a world in which I do not wish to live. Frankly, this story breaks my heart.

Turns out I left Florida at the perfect hour! I don’t know if I’ll ever come back to the United States, honestly. I cannot imagine living in a world where healthcare isn’t free, medicine isn’t available, greed and materialism over worthless paper are rampant, and people are so awful to one another it makes me sick.

In Nicaragua, I have landed in a small community of lovers who have entered a greater consciousness of living. Those who understand the one Truth in Life is LOVE. We Share. We Care. We Cooperate. It is truly Blessed here.

Message me to set up a custom retreat or join one of the many we have planned, and spend some time with me in paradise.

Together in Health! In Love! And in Life!

I Scream For Ice Cream

Want to have ice cream for breakfast and not feel guilty about it?

Try my… Homemade Banana Frozen Yogurt!
Add… honey roasted walnuts and granola!

RECIPE:
1. Blend plain nonfat Greek yogurt with bananas and raw honey in a blender
2. Transfer mix into ice cube trays over night or until frozen
3. When ready to eat, blend the ice cube mixture with a drop of cow’s milk (almond milk or dairy free option can be substituted)
4. Roast chopped walnuts with sugar (optional), honey and cinnamon. I just toasted the nuts on a pan on top of the burner. The sugar will darken and may look burnt but will taste delicious, just be careful not to leave on for too long or too high heat. The hot nuts are a beautiful compliment to the cold ice cream!
5. Add other toppings like a drizzle of raw honey, fresh sliced banana or cacao nibs (in place of chocolate chips!)

Since taking over shop at Nica Yoga Nicaragua, I get to fuel my retreaters as I fuel myself and I LOVE IT!!!

My greatest pleasure is caring for others. However, if you walk through my doors at Nica Yoga expecting 5 star service you may at first be disappointed, as we live a rustic jungle life here, much more simple than life back home. But what you will receive is love from all angles. It’s the BODYbybianca way!

All the time I encounter people who do not understand me, who do not see my vision. He/she may suggest I curb my expression, disguise my professional affiliations and censor my audience by deleting or discouraging their comments to my posts. I disagree.
Last night, a man I have never met opened up to me, publicly (on my fb page). It took some prodding, but ultimately, he disclosed, for all the world to see, his fear of love and past with pain. His vulnerability was beautiful and courageous!
Then this morning I received this message from a woman I know not well, but hope to know better. Thank you Erica for this note. You are precisely to whom I am speaking.
I do not know why I have been given this gift, this voice, or when I felt first compelled to share… But I feel strongly that sharing is caring and if we were all a little (or a lot) less guarded and more open the world would be a more beautiful place. I welcome you at #NicaYoga, where you are encouraged to stretch your Mind with your BODY; to Move, to Live and to Love freely.

Shhh… I know The Secret!

On September 23, 2014, I wrote:

Little did I know, that exactly one week from the date of that post, I would accept the position of General Manager at Nica Yoga in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. An opportunity which would bring me back to the very spot from which my journey began back in March of this year; that Majestic Land where I wished, prayed and dreamed to be.
I never would have guessed that by 33 my life’s story would have a moral, and yet, I have quite clearly been bestowed a gift as an example for all to:
Never lose sight of your dreams, for so long as your intentions are true, all for which you wish will be granted to you.

In the truck/taxi from the airport, I was so excited!

Likewise, Bear fascinated in his new home. (Bear has been getting along famously in Nica by the way; he has made friends with the local dog gang and is in the process of dethroning its current leader and claim his reign as King. What can I say? Like mother, like bear cub!)

My first morning, taking it all in. Nicaragua is my home now. This land is mine to explore. I live here.
Praise be to The Universe.
I am blessed. Believe.

The Prince And The Pea

Have you ever been in someone’s presence with whom you cried and you laughed in the first hour of meeting? You know immediately you are connected spiritually? And then as quickly as two fingers can be snapped an Other enters your space (your laughter filled space), all-consuming and draining and completely changes your space (so much it isn’t at all what you’ve created), depleting the vibe; Not for the better? What is that called? #why #people #differences #questionsfortheUniverse

“Why have I never been invited for wine, but She Has?” I was She in her sentence.

Some time ago, I opened my heart and denied fear’s captivity (a process which started in the first move of my life from Fashion to Fitness, then New York to Florida, and now onward in Nica). Since that time, my doors ever expanding and my love ever flowing, I meet two kinds of people — well, I have really great sex, but also… I meet two kinds of people: Those who draw me in through their eyes into their heart in presentation of their Love and… Myself, likewise, Open to Love’s Receipt and Return offer the same. And Others, and they are “Others,” less evolved and more closed off. They argue. They feel and act on jealousy. They compete. They are uncomfortable to be around, their presence makes me anxious, my heart rate elevates, I become defensive of my own dreams, they question that which I could never understand. I am uncomfortable, I am leaving: “Excuse me, it’s getting late and I haven’t eaten. Would you like anything? No? Goodnight.”

Mine, is a story of my experience through love. Love’s True Story.

Together in Discovery of Ourselves & Each Other!
