2015 is the year I _____ !
I know we still have a month before it’s officially 2015 but I’m starting early. Over the last few years I’ve started using December as my hibernation month. Since all of nature was beginning to turn inwards it made sense that I should also. I was also tired of starting the year off “tired” and falling off my “resolutions” a week into January (more on resolutions in a later article). I wanted to step into a new year clear, calm and in control. Who doesn’t, right? So I started reframing the months and days leading up toContinue Reading >>
Follow your passion
This one quote rocked my world this year and kicked my butt into action. I had been playing with a new idea for some time and kept putting if off, thinking someone else would do it.

Go slowly
When I was on safari in Tanzania the one animal I was most impressed with was the majestic elephants. Even though they tower over humans with a size of over 4m and weigh 15,000 pounds, these mammals exude love and peace. They moved across the savannah ever so slowly and gracefully, there was no rush.

They had no words but their actions taught me a huge lesson,Continue Reading >>

When I had the opportunity to meet her at Wisdom 2.0 last year (in 2013) I was beyond ecstatic and inspired. When someone from Huff Post reached out to me a few weeks later to ask if I’d be interested in creating a meditation guide for their featured mindfulness app GPS for the Soul I was delighted to share my mindfulness tips (if you haven’t already, download the free app on your phone). I agreed to provide my guide within a few weeks.Continue Reading >>
Stepping into spring… In silence
We’ve sprung forward with our clocks and pollen has officially taken over the air (source: my itchy eyes and scratchy throat). It can only mean one thing… Spring is here! Although seasonal shifts happen slowly over time, today’s equinox marks the first day of spring, and once again we will have equal amounts of daylight and nightfall as we move forward to longer days taking us into summer. Seasons influence everything from the food we eat, the clothes we we wear, activities we plan and even the thoughts and goals we nourish. Just like anything else, our thoughts and lifeContinue Reading >>
