And now for lite 😎but important news: I found #bestnailsalon in @chicago And it’s NOT because we both chose a magical name for our business: @illuminate_salon_chicago (although that is the only reason I checked them out.) They are a #bestkeptsecret for #nailsinchicago They offer high touch and high tech, introducing the European manicure and other cutting edge techniques to make my little #selfcareritual my favorite!

It’s called Moon Language🌝The whole poem by Hafiz is this: Admit something:
Everyone you see, you say to them, "Love 🧡me."
Of course you do not do this out loud 😶, otherwise someone would call the cops.
Still, though, think about this, this great pull in us to connect.
Why not become the one who lives with a full moon in each eye that is always saying,
with that sweet moon language,
what every other eye in this world is dying to hear? Hafiz (1320-1388). His knowledge of the human heart is so deep. That all we really want from one another is a little love, but instead we put up walls with ego or armour, or one-ups. I invite you/dare 🔥you: to try a little more moon language this month, say “love me” a lot more in your own way, just for fun. It’s magic💫🌈 ... See MoreSee Less

As long as I have known Paul Weitz I don’t know that we’ve ever hung out. Mostly I took his yoga classes, received amazing Thai massage (he has about 20 years experience), or chatted at parties. And anyone who knows him knows that he is SO present, so it was always great. And even so, we really only cross paths ever 3 years or so. This past weekend I had the pleasure and joy of enjoying delicious Indian street food at Chiya Chai(my new favorite place) in Lincoln Square, listening to his experience of pancha karma in India and the many ways this lovely soul lives Yoga. Stay tuned, he will be writing for illumine magazine to share about his Indian adventures and maybe some videos cooking with Paul. And if you have the opportunity to take his class at Reach Yoga in Glencoe, Evanston Athletic, or Sivananda Yoga Center or receive Thai massage from him, then LUCKY YOU. I don’t say this lightly. Paul rocks! ... See MoreSee Less
