Instagram is so pretty. I look in awe at everyone’s life and wonder how I can get mine to be just a little more like theirs. Then I remember, like snapchat, there are filters and people use them. It’s hard to get a glimpse of “real-life” when you look at instagram. The filters and the […]
Growth
Laughter Yoga – Funny?
I feel sorry for my friends. If “we age not by years, but by stories” over the weekend, I aged. * * * During the yoga teacher training program we had some keynote speakers. Michelle went over cueing and being a “bad” student so our cueing could be on point. I. Could. NOT. Stop. Laughing. […]
Words Have Power
I’m reminded of my childhood and some of the best advice to this day came from Disney movies. “Never look back darling, it distracts from the now.” Edna Mode – The Incredibles “Sometimes, the right path is not the easiest one.” Grandmother Willow – Pocahontas The one that sticks out and inspires this post is: […]
Change – not coins
One post a month just won’t do. I promise I’ll get better. My intentions are there but time swiftly moves at a pace I can not catch. Until now. I consider myself a kind, giving and thoughtful person. More often than not “thoughtful” becomes “over-thinking”. Although I’m a planner, my husband is quick to point […]

See through Pants
Yoga. The beautiful, calming practice of being still left me anxious as FUCK last Saturday. Ironic, right? I mean, how can something so soothing cause stress? That my friend, is all in the pants you wear. It was early on a Saturday. My men were house sitting which means I got a good night sleep […]
and…I’m Back!
About a month ago, I realized I can’t do it all. I can’t juggle being a full time mom, wife, keeping the house clean, having two part-time jobs, try to be an ambassador for a few companies, post on social media and keep up on my blog. Things suffered, things were done at a half […]

Meditation Monday – March
I can not believe it is already March. Tax season is in full swing and working in the industry means its busy time. Last year at this time I was EXHAUSTED by now. I was eating terribly and not working out, this year I made a promise to myself to not go down that path […]
Love…
I’ve never been good at dating. Like NEVER. I was so bad at it, it literally still surprises me that I’m married with kids. In High School, I didn’t have a boyfriend. I liked to tell myself it was because I didn’t want to be locker room talk but in all actuality I wasn’t asked […]
Dreams
Reading has always been one of my favorite pastimes and my imagination is wicked. That being said I can’t read Stephen King. I’ve been terrified of clowns ever since I tried reading IT. I didn’t even come close to finishing the book, I got maybe 2 chapters in and started losing sleep; I decided […]
Aging…
It’s been lurking in the shadows, ready to jump out and attack. Before I was ready, it was here… My birthday. Honestly, I can’t believe I’m turning 29 (AGAIN) in two days. You read that right. I’ll be turning 29 again, and I don’t care one bit that I’ve had a few (Ok, more than […]
