Hello Friends! These blogs are written for the purpose to share my personal experiences that will hopefully entertain and inspire you. My intention is never to be mean, cast judgement or tell you you're doing something wrong. I've realized that I can get caught up in talking AT you versus WITH you. I need you all to know that I am WITH you, 100%. I am right there alongside you, in the muddy trenches of life doing my best to be a good human. A good mom, girlfriend, daughter, teacher... Recently, I've noticed I get caught up in the daily grind, and I loose sight of all that is good. Overwhelming feelings of frustration about work cloud my excitement about having an amazing partner. Dealing with a pulled back muscle significantly stifles my laughter and joy. As of late, the only things on my mind are my back and my boss. What a big fat BUMMER!! Here is where I can share an ah-ha moment. The moment when I realize that these energy vampires are stealing what I hav...
Have you or are you currently waiting for someone or something in your life? Then you will totally relate to this... Inspired by a silly dream I had last night, I write this to remind you all, and myself, that practicing patience is one of the hardest virtues out there. I love that it's called "practicing" patience. It give me permission to mess up and start over again. After all, that's what a practice is about....making mistakes, learning from them and then moving forward with mindfulness. Waiting for someone to do something is like watching the weather.

The more we focus our energy on the frustration we feel that the clouds aren't moving, that he/she isn't doing what we want, we allow ourselves to be consumed by negativity. And we all know that the Law of Attraction states....like attracts like. So, how do we wait? How do we sit on the sidelines and wa...
Happy 2020 to all my friends and family! Ringing in the New Year often times means doing some deep 'spring cleaning' of ourselves. We may go through our closets and cabinets, clean out the fridge, or we may dive into journaling, maybe even join a new fitness studio. The underlying tone of, "out with the old, in with the new" is abundant. Frankly, it can be quite overwhelming. Let me tell you a secret, a New Years resolution does not have to be earth shatteringly amazing. It can simply be a time where you recognize you've thought about starting/stopping a behavior, and instead of saying tomorrow, you say today. Personally, I only have one so called resolution. It actually began in the spring of 2019, so it's not even an official NYR. But, I recognize it's importance, so I need to make sure I stick with it. By sharing my experience and intentions, I hope to help hold myself accountable. And, maybe one of you will be inspired. Resolvi...
