Featured Guest:

Sarah Evans began her yoga journey in 1998. After being an avid Hatha student for a few years, she craved deeper study and became a registered yoga instructor in 2004. Sharing the wisdom of yogic practices expanded her commitment to live a healthy lifestyle. In February 2014, she had just celebrated her son's 4th birthday when she found a lump in her breast. She had no family history, but much to her surprise, a biopsy diagnosed Stage 2 breast cancer. After enduring a life threatening diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiation, and 6 surgeries, Sarah is forever changed. She found strength in unrelenting love from her incredible husband, 2 kids, family, friends, and amazing local yoga community. The events of the past year have served as a reminder for Sarah to live life in the gift of the present moment - one incredible moment at a time - with passion, joy, connection, and lots of love.

Q: Robin via Facebook: Kimberly, you get so much done in one day. I was wondering how early you start your day?

Q: Paula via Facebook: Hi Kimberly, congratulations on the newest addition to your family! He is adorable! I had a question about flying. I was thankful you shared your fears in your weekly love note back in June. It really helped to normalize the anxiety. I remember reading about the importance of breath while anxious. I'm wondering if you had any other suggestions on how you deal with flying since I know you are a traveler. I will be flying next month and am in my first trimester of my first pregnancy. So on top of the anxiety I also feel pretty crummy physically. Any thoughts you could share would be so appreciated!

Bonjour. Welcome to the 341st edition of Tranquility du Jour with Annie Mahon. Be inspired to bring mindfulness into your every day through eating, speaking, and living.

Featured Guest:

Annie Mahon grew up in Macomb County, a blue-collar suburb of Detroit, during the 60s and 70s. Starting in junior high school, she spent her lunch money for “spiritual” pursuits purchased for $1 in the smoking area. At the University of Michigan she continued her spiritual quest in sorority life, leading to excessive alcohol use, an eating disorder, and academic probation. She interspersed poetry, journaling, and sleeping too much with reading about Buddhism and occasional attempts at meditation.

All of this somehow resulted in a graduating with a master’s degree in Computer Science, a move to DC, and a brief stint in the quintessential office place, IBM, before moving to an exciting but soul-killing position in sales at Oracle. During her first months in DC, where she reverse commuted an hour from city to suburbs, Annie was stalked by a handsome stranger. He sat down with her at an outdoor café one morning and asked her what part of Michigan she was from. It seems that this man had a second floor condo with bay window (and high-powered night scopes) across the street from her first floor efficiency apartment, and had been monitoring her comings and goings, including her family’s visit in a car with Michigan plates. Obviously, she married him.

Working at a job which championed the Genghis Kahn motto “It’s not enough that I succeed, everyone else must fail” encouraged her to try motherhood, which seemed like a gentler place to live. But giving birth to four children in three years left her with less time, way more belly, and even more questions about life and how to live it. Meditation and reading books by Thich Nhat Hanh, Angeles Arrien, andPema Chodron helped. She took a side trip into Christianity and what-it’s-like-to-be-a-minority by attending Divinity School at Howard University, where she received her M.S. in Religious Studies, and discovered which direction her path was not leading.

In 1999 she accepted the Five Buddhist Precepts (aka the Five Mindfulness Trainings) from Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh at a retreat in upstate NY. The fifth training suggests letting go of using drugs and alcohol, which was a challenge, requiring Annie to more fully engage in life and her mindfulness practice to get through each intoxicant-free day with four kids, a husband and graduate school.

Being more awake in the world isn’t always easy. For the first couple of years after accepting the precepts, Annie struggled off and on with anxiety and depression, periodically falling back into old escapist habits. This shifted quite suddenly on 9-11-01 when she got the message that life was too short to waste sitting on her ass, and that if she ever wanted to contribute to the world, now was the time.

On that day, she connected with peace activist Coleman McCarthy, and later that week began teaching mindfulness, conflict resolution, and peer mediation in nearby Washington, DC public schools.

Realizing that kids learn best by moving their bodies, and wanting to support their continued mind-body connection, she began teaching kids’ yoga in schools and local venues, eventually opening a children’s yoga studio, Budding Yogis, in her neighborhood. That program expanded to become a full-scale adult and family yoga and mindfulness community studio, serving 900 students per week. In 2011, with a nod to her anarchist daughter, she reorganized the studio into a workers’ cooperatively owned business, Circle Yoga Cooperative.

Always wanting to expand her understanding of mindfulness practice and real life, Annie attends several retreats each year with various mindfulness teachers, including her main teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, and trained in an 18-month program at Spirit Rock Mediation Center in Marin County with Insight Meditation Teachers Jack Kornfield, Phillip Moffit, Anne Cushman, and many other renowned meditation and yoga teachers.

In 2009, she furthered her commitment to mindfulness practice and the mindfulness community by accepting the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings, which continue to challenge and support her practice and make her part of the Tiep Heim Order of lay Buddhist practitioners, a community founded by Thich Nhat Hanh in Vietnam during the war. Her most recent training was a two-year massage therapy program, grounding her mindfulness in the body senses and touch. She became a Licensed Massage Therapist in 2011.

Annie has been writing all her life, starting with her Dear Ziggy journal in junior high school, editing the University of Michigan Greek Newspaper, writing for the U-M yearbook and founding and editing the Micro Digest, the U-M Computing Center’s first newsletter. More recently, she has become known for her monthly essays on mindfulness, a self-published book of essays, Thoughts from Annie, and various articles on mindfulness and families. When not visiting her children, traveling the world, trying out new fitness modalities, writing, or walking with her dogs, she practices yoga and mindfulness with her community at the Circle Yoga Cooperative in DC.

nicolenevermore I'm on my second read through Shannon Able's book. The first time I went through it quickly and now I'm taking my time, reading each section and, even if the topic doesn't apply to me directly, trying to really soak up the lessons she writes about. Chapter 8 is an especially relevant bit for where I am in life right now. I'd love to know your thoughts when you've gotten to it!

Sarah: So, he’s “Tim” now — not “le beau.” Why the change? Whatever the reason, I like it — everyone knows who he is, so he deserves to be called by his name. “Le beau” always seemed like you were trying to hide his identity (best case) or only allow him an identity as a function of his relationship to you (worst case). Long live Tim! RIP le beau!

Diane: Hello! Just listened to a few podcasts – love them! Would love to see more about books your reading, your clothing & accessory style and yoga! Thanks for sharing about the The 5 Minute Journal, I have been looking for a way to develop a morning routine.

Melanie: Anything that deals with navigating our hectic lives, bringing in beauty and tranquility, not getting overloaded with our insane to-do lists (self-created usually!), living lives that are not always society's idea of what a woman should do (eg I'm in my forties, single, living alone with pets - not planning on having children so I'm outside the "norm" - but I'm really happy!). Figuring out how to be successful while bringing yoga with us - ie you don't have to be a bitch to succeed or wear a power suit and you can still like pink! More ideas on wearing the TranquiliT collection. The creative process - making time to be creative when we have so much we "have" to do, that by the end of the day, all we want is to binge watch something on Netflix.

Jane: Oh, I forgot to mention. As I was painting this afternoon, I was listening to your latest podcast and I would love to see some mini video offerings Kimberly. I always look forward to watching your videos and come back to them too. Great guest also and very timely as I'm reading Sweet Poison currently. Take care.

Denise: I was so saddened to hear of the news. Louis will be missed dearly. I remember coming to your first retreat at the cabin after telling you I wanted to meet Louis and he was one of the reasons I came. I had my car door open as I was talking to you and didn’t notice Louis had jumped in and shut the door. You started looking for him and the next thing we see is his sweet face looking out the driver’s side window at us. I was embarrassed to say the least. Sending lots of hugs your way.

{Note to readers: image to the left is the new color discussed in the podcast}

Angela: I have to ask...is black your most fav color to wear or do you do it for simplicity sake? Not at all being critical, you always look lovely...just wondered? I know a lot of "capsule wardrobe" ladies use black as the base for most of their clothes and use scarves and accessories for color...I am considering a capsule wardrobe, but I like color variety.....a lot!!! Would love a video about your wardrobe if you get a chance. Love watching your videos!!!
