    #MondayMantra On Facing Disappointment

    Sometimes, people disappoint you. Sometimes, you disappoint other people- or even Yourself. An important key to healing is to allow the uncomfortable feelings, and learn the lessons that are presented in the situation without falling down into a pit of negativity. Instead of choosing blame or shame, try choosing to see one thing that you can be grateful for- one positive lesson that you can take away and build on for the next time. Today's #MondayMantra is a positive mindset shift for when you are facing disappointment. "Even when I am disappointed, I can be grateful for the lessons learned."…

    #FridayFeels Breathe in Peace

    If you haven't heard it yet, and even if you have- let this be a sign to you from the universe and beyond: Great job! You did it! You have much to be proud of! Focus on the good things. You've done good work. You've faced fears and moved forward anyway. You've peeled away another layer of your own bullshit to reveal more of your beautiful soul and true self. You are a Warrior, an Angel, a Lighthouse. Give yourself the gift of quiet reflection and spend a few moments in pure gratitude. Breathe in Peace, Love.

    The Sometimes Vegetarian

    I'm taking a break from eating meat. Initially I thought I would just give up beef, then all red meat, then white meat and seafood. It's a decision that I had been wrestling with for a good while, and knew that I would be able to easily leave meat out of my diet when I was ready, and when my body stopped craving it. It feels really good. I still very much enjoy fresh eggs (thanks to Buffy and Ethyl, my sweet hens!) and I very much crave dairy, so I'm not ready to let those go. I'm just listening…

    #MondayMantra You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!

    I took this photo of a fun directional sign on my trip to Norway earlier this year just because I thought it looked cool. 😎 Today I get to use it as the backdrop for my #mondaymantra and am struck by how TRUE this powerful affirmation is:   “I have come a long way, and I am not done yet. I keep learning, I keep growing, I am stronger every day!” Sometimes we all need to lovingly remind ourselves of how far we have come, just so we can celebrate where we are starting from TODAY. You can do hard…

    #FridayFeels So Chill

    This vacation week has been the perfect balance of Business + Pleasure, Friends + Lovers, Activities + Relaxing. 2 more days here in beautiful #Charlotte #NC to enjoy her summer thunderstorms, southern hospitality, fireflies, sweet tea, BBQ… and long, lazy mornings sleeping in late and cuddling with my sweetheart.  I’m thankful for the life I get to live, and grateful for my many opportunities and amazing experiences. I recognize that I would not be where I am today if I had not followed my heart and taken my leaps of faith along the way, even as scary and reckless as…
