I’d spent eight years working in the corporate world, and I was finally in a place where I felt I had climbed the ladder to the top of my company. Along with a great job, I was dating a chiropractor who my girlfriends all thought was my perfect match, and I was in the best [...]
Happy May! Summer is almost here! Planning a summer trip? Vacations are great, but I personally love traveling with a purpose—an opportunity to reset my perspective and re-energize my spirit. Vogue magazine called this desire for deeper travel experiences “transformative travel,” and identified it as the next travel trend of 2017. Honestly, I was thrilled [...]
Hello 2017! Thinking of making new year’s resolutions? How about something new? Ditch the resolutions and start with a new perspective. I have found the most significant changes take place when we first identify the negative thought patterns that are ruling our lives. We do so by looking through past experiences to find where we [...]
There are few things more fun and encouraging than creating a vision board. You gather some magazines, a pair of scissors, a poster board, and some tape or glue. Flipping through each periodical, you then cut out images of what you would like to manifest in your future—a promotion, car, dream house, ideal spouse, the [...]
We are always guided and supported. Do you believe it? One week ago I came across a social media post and connected with my dear friend, Christine Hassler. 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 [...]

My mind was often times consumed with thoughts of what I “should” do, what I really wanted (which seemed impossible) and creating [...]
Happy 2015! If you have not heard yet, 2015 is going to be one amazing year. In Chinese astrology, it is the year of the sheep- a yin energy symbolizing peace, harmony and tranquility. This energy brings abundance when we are who we really are- in our full joy- aligned in mind, heart, body and [...]
December is here! Can you believe it? We often wait until the new year to reflect and redefine. I urge you to begin early. What is building within you waiting to be expressed? I guarantee, with the holiday chaos, our days will fly by unless we intentionally schedule "me" time. And when you take "me" [...]
Last night while editing the introduction of my book, I stopped to search my inbox for a particular date. While filing through emails I found one of the most inspirational messages from my mentor, Dr. Coletta Long. The email read: “I will be 80 years old tomorrow and I have showed up for life 28,820 [...]
