Some of you have inquired why my blog has been so quiet. Here’s why: book tour!

This has been a busy week. it started with a conversation with Montel Williams on Joy Behar’s (of The View) show Say Anything, which we taped in New York. Montel is working hard to bring research funding and awareness to autoimmune disease and chronic illness, giving it his all given his own experiences with MS. We had a great chat both off camera and on. Here’s a small snippet from the show:

Later in the week Baltimore Yoga Village and The Ivy Bookshop combined forces for a truly special evening — a Last Best Cure Wellness Event. Several of the teachers who were integral to my journey in The Last Best Cure, Trish Magyari and Mria Tessman (if you are reading the book you know who these amazing women are) along with Anjali Sunita, treated the crowd to meditation, mindfulness, mindful movement and breath work demonstrations. Afterwards I read a few excerpts from The Last Best Cure. To present with those who’ve taught me was a profoundly gratifying experience, and I’m grateful to the many, many readers who came out and asked such meaningful questions afterwards. You make me feel so fortunate to be able to connect with you through my writing.  Here are a few photos from the book signing we held afterwards:
