It’s been a tough week. Go gently with yourself. Know that every person you meet is dealing with something difficult, too.

I Am Grateful 😌

This year is the year I’m focusing on transformation in my life. I’m looking to create something BIG though. Something deep. I want to go wayyyyyy beyond “lose ___ pounds blah blah blah” and instead pave a way for people of all body types -including my own- to be empowered, to feel loved, to discover their strength & true beauty. I’m not trying to be skinny again. I’m not trying to look like a supermodel or a Victoria’s Secret ad. I actually love my body as it is, but I really want to FEEL better in it. Have more flexibility,…

Wherever you find yourself on this first Monday of the new year, make a commitment to yourself to be the best YOU. Challenge yourself to do the right thing, to take the high road, to bring goodness back. Remind yourself: I Am a Good Person

For the past couple of years, I’ve given up traditional New Year’s Resolutions in favor of focusing instead on just one word, and making that my theme, my touchstone for the year ahead. This year’s word has been Love. And man, did I need it. “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it…

Monday Mantra: I am Worthy and Deserving of Good Things If you have ever struggled with feeling unworthy of having good things happen to you, or if you feel uneasy enjoying good things in your life, let today be the day that you begin to change your story. It does not make you selfish. It does not mean you are greedy. It simply means that as a human being, you are a magnificent miracle. You are alive. And no matter who may have made you feel “less than” in your past, YOU ARE AMAZING. You DO matter. And above all…

Today was the Winter Solstice, and the energy was intense! Sun has set several hours ago here on the West Coast and I’m well into the longest night. I hear the soothing sounds of rain falling outside the bedroom window, and my Love breathing softly beside me as he drifts off to sleep. I have been offering forgiveness throughout the day to those who have hurt me, betrayed me, offended me, annoyed me. I have been releasing many burdens, some small, others massive. Each release is palpable as my muscles relax a bit, my teeth cease to grind, and I…

If you’re anything like me, the day before a big trip feels almost overwhelming with energy… Last minute checklists, frantic shopping for that one thing (what am I missing? Where’s my list?)… Prepping your home/pets/office for your time away… It can be a little nutso, and instead of being in-the-moment you might become frazzled. Total buzz-kill! I’m intentionally carving out these next few hours to daydream about the awesome adventures awaiting me. I’m purposefully realigning the energy in me and around me to feel more blissful, less chaotic. Whatever doesn’t get done can wait until I get back, because baby,…

WARNING: This post contains SO MANY EXCLAMATION POINTS! This week I’ve been focusing on loving my adventurous spirit and letting her out to play a bit more. I chose this focus because at the end of this week… I am leaving for a special adventure with my Love, and fulfilling my life-long dream of going on a CARIBBEAN CRUISE! I will see snippets of some of the most beautiful places on earth! I will enjoy incredible food! I will dress up all fancy-schmancy (at least twice!) I will experience amazing natural highs while interacting with stingrays, zip-lining at crazy-fast speeds,…
