If your world is filled with darkness, it's time to be the light.
I have been told it seems like I have my life totally together. I’m here to clear that up. I see what you see: I’m 26, newly married, with two sweet dogs and a beautiful little home. I have a great job and space to practice my hobbies. What could be better? Here’s what you …
Moving to a new city, there are a lot of unknowns. When I graduated from college in 2014, I followed my then boyfriend (now husband) to Atlanta. I had a good job there, and we were happy, but I didn't find the friendships or community connections I needed. After just shy of two years there, …
Prompt: If I were practicing deep self love, I would start....and I would stop.... I want to start by saying, I truly believe self-love is the beginning of all happiness. Why we don't teach our children this in elementary school, is beyond me. I'm not perfect, but I have a lot of self-care already build …
The day after Christmas has always been one of two things in my life. Either it’s a day in the car heading back home from my grandparent’s house, or it’s a quiet, cozy day at home. Some of my friends (those beautiful tribe members I reflected on yesterday) have told me the day after the …
It's Christmas Eve, and we are approaching the end of the year quickly now. Personally, 2016 has been a year of transformation. We moved to a new city, I started a new job, we made a home from a family house, and all long we fell deeper in love. Even with all of that in …
The hardest lesson of authenticity is the most obvious. Not everyone is going to like you if you aren't the peace-keeping chameleon you once were. I had two best friends through college, and once I found myself they told me they didn't like me anymore. I literally had to choose between loving myself, or being …
They say hindsight is 20:20. Looking back on Christmases past, I can pick out just a few presents that still come to mind. The ones that come to mind surprised even me, and certainly weren't the ones that cost the most. I vividly remember a year where huge fancy sleds were lined up against one …
Happy Friday, you beautiful people. As you get now, we start a new focus every Friday. Today begins our chapter of Authenticity. Many of you have shared with me your concerns about seeing extended family around the holidays. “It feels like they don’t even know me, and I don’t know them. They look at me …
Hey peeps! Here's your daily dose of gratitude. Enjoy! I was raised in a house where pleases and thank yous were expected, waited for, and taught. Still, as an adult I know there are people in my life I passively forget to thank, or socially don't know to thank. Have you ever received a message …
I'm finally recovering from my cold, and I'm looking forward to getting back on my mat tonight. I did a few minutes of meditation and a soft flow last night, maybe 10 minutes. It wasn't much, but it reminded my body how it feels to be in that space. I forgot, for a moment it …
