I’ve seen a lot of posts lately from people overwhelmed by their health goals. I totally understand it because everywhere you look there’s a new thing to try that could potentially be better than before. Keto. Low Carb. South Beach. Atkins. They all seem remarkably similar. What do you choose? I’ve discovered that for me […]
Have you ever heard a quote that instantly made you pause? Something that strikes right into the heart of who you are or what you believe? My friend is a yoga instructor at our YMCA and she’s implementing a series of quotes on self acceptance into her classes this session. She provided me the quotes […]
Trust. It’s one phenomenon that takes so much time to gain and only seconds to lose. Over time we learn to trust and if we’re of the forgiving kind we can even learn to trust someone again. There’s another type of trust and I find that this one may just be the hardest. We have […]
What a blessing and a privilege to speak at a TEDx event. In 2015, I wrote in my journal that I wanted to speak at TED one day.

FLASHBACK POST: I’ve blogged for over 15 years on various platforms. I’ll be moving some of my favorites from LiveJournal, MySpace, and my own blogs here. It’s interesting to see how time passes but some messages are timeless. This blog was originally posted on July 17, 2009. I used to look around corners. Slowly, methodically, […]
If there’s one thing that’s universal it’s struggle. We all struggle with something. Do you struggle with fear? Anxiety? Failure? Success? Do you struggle with loss? Gain? Misunderstanding? Do you struggle with food? Weight? Alcohol? Drugs? Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations. – Zig Ziglar I’ve seen this quite every where and often quoted […]
I’ve blogged for over a decade on various platforms so sharing parts of my life or general observations of the world around me isn’t new. I first got my stride writing on MySpace. Everyone had anonymity through embarrassing screen names which made what you were sharing have a layer of privacy. As the platforms shifted […]
