I will be brave enough to explore who I am and who I want to be.

As I finish packing my bags to explore Italy once again, I cannot stop thinking about how much strength it takes to explore yourself. Traveling is an essential part of my life because it takes me out of my comfort zones and helps me learn more about myself. Self-reflection can be challenging, but yet so […]

I will simply listen

Simply Listen. Sit, simmer and just listen. We often associate mediation with shutting everything out. This week, let’s let everything in. Try to simply listen to all the sounds buzzing around without any other thoughts connected to the sound. So, hear the cars drive by without the wonder of where they are going. Hear the […]

I will live and love today knowing my past has brought me here.

  Never regret or forget your past or your pain. Those moments move us forward and provide us gratitude for all the greatness that exists. Those obstacles steer us in our needed direction. They are just as apart of you as all the successes. This week lets live and love the moment and be grateful […]

I know that I don’t know.

  We often make assumptions, judgements or even provide opinions without the full story or all the information. Don’t be afraid to say you don’t know. Don’t be afraid to admit that you may never know. There are lots of questions that will always remain unanswered to me and I am completely ok with that […]

I will let the universe guide me.

  We often are afraid to do what we need to do to progress or change. We are often terrified to make the moves that will help us grow and become even more successful. The universe often guides us, but we are afraid to take the path provided. Big things are in my future and […]

The answers are within me.

We often search, read, journal, travel and seek others’ advice to find our answers and our solutions. When we look deep enough and when we breathe long enough, we find them within us. This week’s mantra: The answers are within me. The answers are within me. Have the most amazing week ever! XO – L

My Path is Practice.

We often forget or don’t realize how much of our path is simply practice. We practice each day how to be better, how to be stronger, how to love more. We practice. Let go of the need to feel and be perfect and embrace the opportunity to practice on your path, not just on your […]

I Have Nothing to Say

Surprise. Surprise. I have nothing to say… Well, we all know that isn’t true, but in an effort to align with last week’s mantra, Lead by Listening, let’s work on our ability to be silent and still. With summer upon us, festivals, parties and lots of excitement fill our schedules. Take a few moments to […]

What You See is What You Believe, Before You Have Looked

I have been quite obsessed with podcasts lately. I spend a lot of my work hours alone and somehow podcasts make me feel connected to the world outside. Of course, I love travel podcasts and during a Rick Steves Podcast regarding the Discovery of the Andes Mountains, Author, Kim MacQuarrie said these words that stuck […]

I will sit and savor the moment.

We are often stuck in the past, living in the future and resisting the present. Our moments are more than just a piece of the past or the future, they are now. The past will always be there and the future will be waiting patiently. Sit and savor the moment. Monday Mantra: I will sit […]
