Palm Trees and Sunshine
I am not going to lie…this week is truly, literally, palm trees and sunshine. I am writing from the sandy and sunny beaches of Rincon, Puerto Rico. But…unfortunately, every day and week cannot be like this. Although palm trees and sunshine may not be an everyday option, we do have the choice and power to […]
Non-Judgement Day
Celebrating the New Year should never be about guilt, sadness or an opportunity to punish yourself with strict guidelines. Rather, the New Year should be about living more, exploring more and learning to become happier and healthier! Fill your 2015 goals with love, laughter and life and you will begin to naturally feel happier and […]
Moving On!
I am not going to lie! I cried a lot! And, then I cried some more. Tears started to flood my face when we decided to move from the house we bought shortly after we got married, over 13 years ago! With all this emotion you would think that I was moving far, far, far […]
Searching for Perfection
Um, Om, Hmm, this is a tough topic and one that a lot of us deal with on and off the mat. We want to be perfect! I am not suggesting that we should not have goals or standards, but are yours so far out of control that you are actually a self-bully? Do you […]
Finding the Courage to Fly Forward

Late nights, extra cocktails and some undesirable food choices may leave you feeling less than optimal. Here are my end of the summer clean up and […]
Live Your Life!
It’s my birthday on Monday and I am already excited. Why? Because I love my life and I am not afraid to admit it. I am ready to not only celebrate me, but where I am in my life and all the years to come! I am ready to celebrate the awesome people who have […]
Happy & Healthy
I was sitting in this same spot almost exactly a year ago. But, there is a big difference. My heart was broken along with three different parts of my right foot. It was one of the most painful fractures I endured. With each step I felt tremendous physical and emotional pain. My battle with my […]
A Little Work, A Lot of Heart
If I told myself I could not do things, if I told myself that my dreams were stupid, if I told myself it did not matter, I would not be writing this to you. How often do we shut down our dreams and our ambitions before we even get a chance to try them? My […]
