POPSChoiceless Awareness I skimmed through a Krishnamurti book years ago and this idea has stuck with me since. I'd say obtaining a state of choiceless awareness is near the top of my new years resolution list.

POPSMiddle school Girls Gone Wild As a mom of two young daughters I'm fully aware of at how young an age our children are influenced by the popular culture. I only hope that I can impress upon them that it is their minds that are important and valued and not their bodies. When my7 year old joins me to do Yoga or Pilates I always stress that we are doing that to be healthy and have strong bodies not to improve our bodies for the benefit of others. It is my hope that I can give them both strength of character enough to not feel that dancing suggestively at a school talent show with a minimal amount of clothing is something to be proud of.
