This past week I had to do something I didn’t want to do, something that brought me a lot of fear, something that I didn’t know if I would be able to do on my own. But guess what? I did it. Was it fun? No. Was it easy? No. Do I ever want to do it again? Also, no.…
It’s the New Year… can you believe it? With the new year many people make resolutions, only for them to be easily forgotten about. I am someone who loves creating goals, I am very goal-oriented and each year I take the time to reflect and build a goal system to help me create direction for the next year. I have…
Do you ever feel so exhausted that you want to sit on your bathroom floor and have a good cry? That was me this week. I’ve been so busy the last few weeks and months and it’s catching up to me, physically and emotionally. I feel fatigued even after getting 8 or more hours of sleep, my concentration levels are…
The ability to travel, is such a sacred experience. I have almost always found it transformative in nature. Every trip that I take happens to shape who I am, alter my perspective about the world or myself, or teach me new things.

It was a very satisfying day in a productivity sense. I accomplished a lot at work, I took care of some things at home, I exercised my social meter, I am now taking time to write. It was an overall good day. I think this is because I had balance. I have been told my entire life that I need…
I was reminded of many things today in the midst of a low mood. The last couple days I have been feeling very low, I’ve been stressed to the point of feeling it in my body, I’ve been isolating myself, I’ve been feeling desperate about my future. All of which are not good feelings, but today I recognized moments to…
As I sit here looking out my third floor apartment window I am reflecting on the misses and voids in my life. I feel so overwhelmed, not knowing where to start to try to remedy these feelings. I know I don’t necessarily need to fill the void, but just understand it and learn to coexist with it, maybe appreciate some…
I had a conversation with one of my close friends recently on the power of grounding yourself. I hadn’t used this term much up until the last year when I started to become more involved in yoga.
