I know that there were a lot of posts on the site for a while that focused squarely on the ticking down of my body weight. I felt responsible to report every aspect of this journey, a weekly (or bi-weekly, depending on work) journey to self where I tried to exercise it off, diet it [ Read More ]
Sometimes, when I sit in silence, I come up with some thoughts that I think are pretty great and I hope that they’ll inspire you to do something amazing for yourself. This one came to me this morning in savasana at Core Fusion. This morning had me feeling a little overwhelmed. I think a lot [ Read More ]
People, I am a woman in serious need of a vacation. As in, I’m usually wrapped up at night with copies of Travel & Leisure, salivating over all the places I can’t currently go. In my head, I’m in Bali right now in a villa above the water, sleeping in a hammock, taking daily swims [ Read More ]
As I wrote about moving a couple of days ago, I wanted to give an update. For anyone who’s moved before (and that would be, hey, pretty much everyone), you’ll recognize these photos.

I was trying to think of words to place around the immortal words of Kermit the Frog, but I don’t think there’s anything else I can say about them except that anyone who has ever felt different or “apart from” the world can understand exactly what he’s saying. If you’ve never listened to the words [ Read More ]
I had something planned for this morning’s Daily Reflection, but my girl Alexis Wolfer inspired me with her Makeup Free Mondays concept so much that I wanted to write about it. I have on absolutely NO makeup in this photo. No concealer, no hair products, no mascara, nothing. I have on my morning routine of [ Read More ]
One of the reasons we gain weight or become stagnant in life is fear of failure. We lose a job, a parent, a child or other loved one. We go out for something and fail. We ask for something and don’t receive it. We extend love and it doesn’t work out. We become afraid. Something [ Read More ]
