My soul lives for the DROP THE MIC moments, those little wisdom nuggets you read or hear that literally derail you and stop you dead in your tracks. I came across one yesterday…
Growth
Comfort Zone Exited.
From a young age, I have always been fascinated with the Asian culture. My grandmother bought me a tea set with Chinese symbols on them and I cherished it. As I grew older I would add a small vase, a tapestry and chopsticks to my collection. I’m sure you can imagine my surprise when I […]
Winter
“The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you. Don’t go to sleep!” ~Rumi Perhaps this is why sleep is so elusive when I get home from work. That being said…I’m not sitting outside in this weather to hear those secrets. They will have to catch me as I’m quickly trying to get in the […]
Space & Boundaries
Welcome to the New Year! Hopefully this finds you healthy, happy and excited to tackle the adventures you pursue this year. I absolutely LOVE New Year resolutions. Usually I take 3-5 under my wing and spend the year completing them. I haven’t failed myself in 8 years. I don’t do the typical loose weight-ish resolutions, […]
Being YOU
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 […]
Laughter Yoga – Funny?

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 […]
