Step Back | Move Forward

Situations, people, challenges, relationships, goals, obstacles, responsibilities and anything and everything in our life can be so overwhelming to the extent that we cannot see beyond the struggle. I feel like I have been living in this exact moment for too many years too long. I cannot do this alone. I cannot live this life by myself. I am not…

another year down

Birthdays are like New Years Eve to me..lack luster, low on the excitement scale and the same song and dance but just another 365 days have passed. Last year I was in Cabo by myself. I had the time of my life…I was alone, reading, sun bathing, walking in the sand, practicing yoga twice a day, breathing,…

busy is the new skinny

We (I included) have adopted the mentality the less sleep, more moving and never taking days off is the way to achieve my goals. With the addition of my Lu Bear to my life everything has shifted. And I mean everything. I plan my life in 3 – 4 hour intervals to ensure she is getting…

But the word “chase” has an interesting context. I can be perceived as gamely, inauthentic, &…

mountain air & a new perspective

Its Sunday at 5am and my alarm goes off. Now, Monday – Friday this is standard protocol, but Sunday is my day to let my body wake me up, but not today, today was different for a very important reason. I was about to embark upon A Climb for Heroes with my good friend Wes…

How Will I Know?

One of my most embarrassing moments as a young girl was singing (or belting, screeching, or even yelping in some instances) into a purple plastic flashlight thinking I was going to be the world’s next white Whitney Houston. Whitey was my go-to…the 80s to late 90s Whitney…anything after that was just, well, not my karaoke…

loyalty?

You win some & lose some along the way but those that are meant to be in your journey will be there. Look for the lesson in the loss. Loyalty doesn’t have to be ride or die – that can be extreme, but loyalty certainly needs to be fair, honest and curated from a pure…
