It's December! Can you believe it? When it comes to the end of the year, it is time for holiday parties, family gatherings, fun and connection. It is also a time when we want to run and hide from all of the added busy-ness and stress. This is the time that I consistently ask myself, [...]
Our minds can tell the most dramatic, terrifying stories about our lives. They can also tell the most unbelievable fantasy-like stories. The fascinating thing is that, if you believe one or the other that is what you will create. This Halloween I saw an abundance of wonder women walking the streets exuding a sense of [...]
Lets face it... Sometimes life is just a mess. We attempt to plan, organize and create some kind of order so we can find time to sit back and relax. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work. Life happens. Things get in the way. We wake up one morning, take a look around and think, “How did I [...]
Life is full of fun and adventures; it is also full of sadness and hardships. Sometimes you feel knocked down and deflated. Sometimes the only answer is to cry. Over the last few years, I’ve learned: How to love the hard choices. It is human nature to control. We want to grip onto our lives [...]

She was set to be in Costa Rica (for the exact same dates that I would be there!) to lead her adventure-filled, self-love retreat. Fast forward to the [...]
Last week I found a book that I first read in high school (which I still can't believe was almost twenty years ago!) titled, “A Return to Love” by Marianne Williamson. It had such a profound effect on me at that time that I chose to write an English class essay on my new favorite book. I recited a quote [...]
It was like a dream. Easter morning, awakening in Rome, leaping out of bed to get dressed for Easter mass at the Vatican. Heading out the door, my girlfriends and I made a pit stop at our favorite cappuccino spot and began the half hour trek down the cobblestone road. As we took in the [...]
No. (Insert deep breath). I can remember the first time I said it out loud. I didn't realize I had been holding the word "No" hostage inside for so long. As I said it, I felt like my world was about to crumble beneath me. I thought, "Is it ok to say No?" For those [...]
