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,…

I Am Adventurous! I am excited about seeking out new challenges to open my worldview, shift my paradigm, shake and stir my status quo. With each new adventure, I learn something interesting about the world around me, and about myself. Photo credit: Michael Powell Photography

Healthy! Confident! Brave! Strong! Annnnd a I have this sweet, fat kitty who loves a freshly warmed-up lap! Bonus! Post-workout selfie with no makeup, a sweet sweaty glow, lumps bumps and curves doing what they do as I keep working hard towards my better-health goals. I’ve released 30 inches overall and a few pounds of fat that were causing me pain, through loving myself and gently moving my body. To be clear: Healthy Comes In All Shapes And Sizes.

Here’s a tasty and simple salad that’s light and quick. Just the ticket to keep you on track after a holiday feast. The dark leaf lettuce and lean turkey are pleasantly filling without the painful bloat and food coma. Dressed simply with hemp seed oil and freshly ground Kampot pepper for nutty, earthy flavor balance. So good! Romaine lettuce Shredded chunks of turkey breast About a tbsp of cold pressed organic hemp seed oil (I like the one from Nutiva) Freshly ground Kampot pepper I like to get my pepper from my pals Cris and Tom at Pepper Project, because…

Monday Mantra: I Am Healthy & I Am Whole! Pictured here is an incredibly lovely little girl named Caro (Carol). I met her years ago on my first visit to Kenya, when I was doing humanitarian work with Tumaini International. I will be sharing more about her in my next blog post this Wednesday, but for now- I wanted to share her smile and her strength with you. She’s such an inspiring person to be around! <3

I choose to focus my attention on the many things in my life to be grateful for, and it makes every day that much richer.

Days turn into weeks turn into months turn into years. What do we learn in our brief time on the wheel of life? I have learned I am more and more grateful for the little things, the niceties, the goodness of humanity. Little things matter, like “please” and “thank you” Warm smiles and friendly waves go a long way Kindness is beautiful Well chosen words and sincere compliments can mend hurt feelings And love, LOVE- always wins
