January 12, 2016 The toxic and haunting J-word. At a very young age I was introduced to judgment, as most young girls are. I was deep into the competitive gymnastics scene until I was 12, and immediately transitioned into the world of competitive dance and continued competing for roles in college and competing […]

January 5, 2016 Happy New Year!! I hope the year has started out just the way you wanted! In the past, my New Years resolutions have been very black and white. For example, I’m going to lose 10 pounds, I’m going to stop eating sweets, I’m going to work out 5 days a week, I’m […]
December 30, 2015 Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve and I still haven’t settled in after all the holiday fun and commotion. But, I’ve been spending some time thinking about how I want my life to look in 2016. Each time I think about it, I feel excited, but scattered, overwhelmed, and a little […]
December 22, 2015 Perfect, Smerfect! There shouldn’t be such a thing! One of my intentions for 2016, is to stop using the word “perfect!” And even after I wrote this today, I responded to the librarian with, “Oh, perfect! Thanks!” Ahhh…. I laughed. There is a difference between doing the best you can and […]
December 15, 2015 I had an AHA moment this morning! A super shifter, is what I like to call it, because it shifted my beliefs in a super-b new way. It’s not just something I put on paper or thought about, but something more visceral – it was like more of my spirit woke up! […]
December 9, 2015 Nourishing ourselves around this time of year should not be a luxury, it should be a necessity. It’s frantic, it’s busy, it’s a downright chaotic time of year, and we need to take care of us to maintain our health and our sanity! Taking care of yourself isn’t just going to benefit […]
December 1, 2015 It shouldn’t be hard, right? We love our families so much and get so excited to spend time with them over the holidays. But, it can be stressful and it isn’t always easy. There are a lot of different opinions, different likes and dislikes, different schedules, and all sorts of judgments being […]
November 17, 2015 Sometimes things happen, big or small, that we just can’t let go of. We replay the situation over and over in our minds – it’s relentless! It’s this guilt that we tend to hold on to. And as if guilt isn’t enough, shame seems to be it’s best friend. So when one […]
November 10, 2015 I took my first yoga class 15 years ago. I loved it then, and I love it now. It’s been a great journey, but what’s changed significantly is my reason for practicing. I used to practice as a form of exercise, to increase flexibility, to prepare for childbirth, or to get back […]
November 3, 2015 Last week, the weather was getting me down. Since I can remember, November has been my least favorite month. It’s probably due to the drastic change in weather and the significant decrease in daylight. But whatever the case, my spirit is definitely affected by the cold and the dark. That is where […]
