Greetings!
As we continue to walk into the light at the end of a tunnel of loss, grief, and change, it is important to acknowledge that even in darkness there is brilliance and goodness. As I embark on my 5th year as an entrepreneur and reflect on what I and my business have overcome since 2017 - the sudden terminal illness and passing of my sister, Hurricane Maria devastating my birthplace, two hip replacements, a global pandemic – I can attest there is light in the darkness of grief. I have learned that the light at the end of the tunnel comes from within. I now know that cultivating the connection with my inner self, my essence, and my compass enables the vision needed to navigate in darkness. As you look ahead and continue to take steps into a brighter future, know that brilliance comes from within - YOU ARE THE LIGHT. 
Stay healthy, positive, and productive!

Renovad RETREATS is taking off again!
Costa Rica, June 19-26, 2021
Designed to provide you with a holistic renewal of mind, body, and soul, with daily yoga and meditation, nourishing farm-to-table cuisine, splendorous spa services, while immersed in one of the most biodiverse ecosystems in the world. At Blue Osa Yoga Retreat & Spa, our off-the-grid eco-boutique resort, you will step out of your room to live among three monkey species, macaws, toucans, and all the majesty of Mother nature. Costa Rica’s Pura Vida, pure life, does not only refer to its flora and fauna – it emanates from the heart and spirit of the people; it is their way of life and their gift to every visitor. We are delighted to co-host this event with Latinas in Business. Join us!
Renovad YOGA is launching in May
Renovad is expanding its wellness offering and introducing a suite of executive development with live and on-demand programs. Join us at our inaugural Renovad YOGA 11 Days Towards Freedom – 3 minutes of daily Yoga philosophy for 10 days, and a virtual community Yoga class on the 11th day. This enlightening course, delivered online through on-demand and live content, is intended to reignite or introduce you to the practice of yoga. And if you have discounted yourself from this beneficial practice because you deemed yourself not to have the right ability or mobility, or the right age or shape - this program is for you! We hope that you will accept our invitation and RSVP to benefit from this practical scientific method focusing on involution - a return to the ultimate consciousness to the inner self and true identity – to achieve complete liberation.
