Unbox yourself. Let your hair down. Untame that wild beast within you. Dance and feel into your body. Shake your hips and move your arms and legs and belly. Let it jiggle. Let yourself sweat. What does it mean to be YOU? Cause I’ll bet it’s not sitting slouched over your computer scrolling through your Facebook feed. I’ll bet it’s not hunched in a chair with your phone two inches to your face. I’ll bet […]
The Magic of Winter Solstice
The Winter Solstice has arrived, and with it comes the darkest night of the year. Something magical happens when there is less light to guide us; we usher in our own guidance to lead the way. The solstice marks the transition back to light, but also in a sense is only the beginning of Winter. This time of year is a time of introspection. It is one of intuition and discovering our selves. Like a […]
Surrender
Sometimes in order to receive, we must let go. In order to allow things to unfold naturally, we must stop resisting the tide. To surrender to life’s mysteries means to see all of the events happening in our lives, good and bad, and appreciate what they have to offer. We must first understand that to let go of our perceived control makes space for healing to occur. I’ve learned a lot over the passed few […]
Living the Simple Life
I’m going to be real with you. I haven’t been publishing blog posts or on social media so much, because well it has felt better not to. Some days I’d have the inspiration to write an article, but then be too meticulous about how it reads and scrap it. Other days I’d take a picture of a pretty plate of food with the intention of publishing it somewhere, but then get caught up in the […]
Quit Waiting for the Perfect Moment
When I have a new pair of shoes, I will start running. Once I know just a little bit more, I will write an article about it. I want to wear that nice new dress, but ought to wait for a special occasion. Once I start waking up earlier, I can meditate. When inspiration strikes, I will create a new recipe. I don’t know about you, but I am guilty of waiting for the right […]
Be Here Now
As I sit outside sipping my coffee with coconut cream on this beautiful fall equinox, I realize something: Life is truly something extraordinary. It is wonder and beauty and love all in one. And we get to be part of it all; growing and changing, learning and adapting. If we can just let things flow, without trying to alter or skew anything, we can see how effortlessly it all works out. Days like today are […]
Riding the Wave of Life
There are some days where I just don’t feel my best. Usually there is no particular reason for it. I simply woke up on the wrong side of the bed, as some say. When this happens, we love to point a finger and blame someone or something, but really it is just the way of life. There are ups and there are downs. What is important is how we flow with this wave. Instead of […]
A Month Without Instagram and Finding the Balance
As someone who is well adapt in the social media world, it almost seems unfathomable to live without it. We connect with friends across the country and the world in seconds. Family we rarely see can be reached by the click of a button. Inspiration, information, and communication are so readily available everywhere we go. Some may argue this is the greatest advancement of our time. Others will say it hinders us. The virtual world […]
Letting Go of the Old
Big shifts happening in the sky are having everyone on earth affected in one way or another. The Gemini super new moon that occurred on June 13th is just the beginning. I don’t know about you, but I feel it for sure. This astrological shift is beckoning us to release what no longer serves us so we can reach our highest purpose. Sometimes that means pinpointing the parts of our lives that no longer serves […]
Lost On Your Path? You’ve Got This
I very often find myself getting caught up in the questions, Who am I? What do I want to do/be? What do I love? This is the ultimate question isn’t i? To find what we truly love to do and be happy doing it? But I find it does not always help to get asked this same question by friends, family, and colleagues as well on a regular basis. The pressure builds, either from yourself […]
