    Fresh Start

    January 4, 2017 - By 

    How is this first week of 2017 treating you so far?  I so love the fresh-start energy of this time of year. Making plans for the year ahead, scheduling vacations, dreaming big-ass dreams… that’s my jam. I’ve got a clean slate and endless possibilities! Maybe you’re easing back in to your office routine, or getting started on some new projects, or just maintaining the status quo.  Whatever it is, I wish you well- and I encourage you to plan 1 fun thing for the year ahead.  It can be anything! A party, a weekend getaway, an exotic adventure, or even reservations…

    #MondayMantra I am Delighted by Life!

    January 2, 2017 - By 

    You deserve more than to “just get through it.” You deserve so much more than a mere existence. You deserve to live fully, embracing each day and savoring all that is before you. There is a Fire inside you- deep, eternal, and longing to burn with delight.  If you’ve spend the last little while keeping that flame low, give yourself permission to fan it, stoke it, and be Delighted by Life!

    My Word of the Year: Elevate

    January 1, 2017 - By 

    Happy New Year, Loves! My word of the year choice for 2017 is “Elevate” and I’m incredibly excited for it. Like, Damn! My intention for the year moving forward is to elevate women and girls around the world, starting with myself.  I will shine a halo around our achievements, and highlight opportunities for more. I will choose to elevate the conversation and lift each other up in a world that tries to tear us down. I will pick myself up and hold my strong hand out for you, too.  I will gravitate towards those who are also intent on uplifting,…

    Endings & Beginnings

    December 28, 2016 - By 

    Tomorrow is the new moon, and with it comes the energy & symbolism of ending & beginning. As we draw near to the end of another calendar year, there is no better time to pause, observe our place, and prepare for the next phase. You have access to every eternal truth woven within your own beautiful soul! Loves, I encourage you to take some time today to reflect on where you are in the cycle of change. Observe. Honor your place, without judgement.   There is a continuous series of beginnings and endings for every life. Though there is often…

    #FridayFeels Free/Festive

    December 23, 2016 - By 

    I do love so many things about this time of year: Winter Solstice, My Birthday, Christmas, Holiday Lights, and all of the celebration and reverence for the different sacred holidays.  I love the festive feeling in the air and the excitement of finding special little gifts to give away. I love seeing the best in people, the spirit of generosity, the hope, the joy.   I’ve seen the darker side too, and I know that this is also a very difficult time of year for many people. It can bring up family tensions through forced interactions, and it can put a…

    #MondayMantra I Welcome More Love Into My Life

    December 12, 2016 - By 

    I’m writing this message for today lying in bed, the ocean gently rocking our cruise ship and lulling my sweetheart to sleep beside me.  I sometimes cannot believe that this is my life now, and yet it’s the love & life I had always dreamed of. Yesterday, he surprised me with a dozen perfect, gorgeous red roses delivered to our state room. Today, he surprised me with a bottle of Dom Perignon, chocolate dipped strawberries, and a chocolate mousse cake. Tomorrow, we are taking a private speed boat that he chartered for us from St. Thomas USVI and spending the…

    #FridayFeels Vacation Vibes

    December 9, 2016 - By 

    Last year around this time, my hottie boyfriend and I took off on a fabulous Caribbean cruise to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Jamaica and Haiti. We convinced three other couples to join us for the adventure, and it was an incredible time!  In fact, we loved it so much that we booked another cruise before we left the ship. Our friends maybe thought we were crazy, and they may be right- but we are just crazy enough to do the things together that make us happy.  Today, hottie and I set sail for another exciting cruise. We’ve literally been looking forward…
