Do you ever sometimes think that if you aren’t laughing through difficult circumstances and challenging moments that you are somehow doing it wrong? I mean, you are pretty much a superwoman as it is, so shouldn’t you be able to handle every single setback with perfect grace and a smile on your face? Um, hell no. Let’s talk about being authentic. Hear me, you badass warrior princess, you are 100% allowed to feel ALL of your feelings. Including Frustration. Anger. Disappointment. Sadness. And yes, even Fear. You get to feel these without apology and you don’t have to pretend that…

Today I had the honor and pleasure of interviewing my cousin, Nicole Lewis-Keeber, for a new podcast that we are co-hosting (more on that later). One of my very favorite things about her is her willingness to go deep and be transparent on any topic, even ones that are messy or difficult to talk about. It takes incredible courage to show up and be honest with yourself in the difficult conversations. Self-awareness can be messy, but I’m learning that it’s in our willingness to go there that we can truly heal ourselves and create powerful new possibilities for our lives. …

This morning, a complete stranger made me cry in the Texaco parking lot. I had just finished getting my car quick-washed and was getting ready to merge into the exit lane, just waiting for a little more space to open up. My latte was just the right temperature. I had just cleared some space in the cup holder after giving $1.50 in quarters to a homeless man named Alfred. I was feeling pretty excited, as I was on my way to celebrate birthday lunch with my bestie. Just started to roll into the open space in front of me when…

Yesterday I had the pleasure and privilege of being interviewed on a new podcast (more on this coming up) and one of the questions, and my answer, keeps coming back to me. I was asked in effect about how I manage to be such a joyful person, to which I replied: “Part of it is probably in my DNA, but mostly it is my choice. I choose to seek and find joy in all situations and limit my time around negative people.” I will be first to admit that this is not always easy to practice, and I don’t always…

You might not have all of the answers when facing life’s hard questions. You will not always know the perfect thing to say when someone you care about is grieving. You are going to find yourself in situations sometimes when you feel utterly powerless to make a difference, but trust me, dear one, there is always Love and it is always needed. You have the power in the depths of your heart to send Love… so don’t hold back! I invite you to take a meditative moment now to imagine yourself sending waves and waves of Love to the people…

I was very honored to march today with 749,000 brothers and sisters in Los Angeles, California as part of the Women’s March- and it was magnificent! It was one of over 600 sister marches to the Women’s March on Washington, and the energy was incredibly Peaceful, exuberant, powerful, funny, and moving. Now, I understand that many people do not support the Women’s March, and that’s fine. I’m not going to shame anyone or call you disrespectful names. I honor your right to disagree or have a different opinion and I certainly don’t need to demean you. But I do want…

If you’ve known me for more than a minute or have been following me for a while, you know that I am a pretty open and positive person. Sure, I have my up days and down days because, well, sometimes shitty things happen. I don’t try to hide the times I’m struggling or ignore things about society that bum me out. I believe that honestly sharing the journey is an important part of my story. Some days, however, I feel a stronger sense of that anything is possible optimism and a surge of positivity that I can’t contain. It comes…
