Surroundings
This morning I got a letter from the Universe. I get them every morning. But this morning it resonated with me. It’s not the dazzling voice that makes a singer. Or clever stories that make a writer. And it’s not piles of money that make a tycoon. It’s having a dream and wanting to live…

Sparks
In 2010, I took a leap of faith. With a severance package and a dream, I created my own thriving holistic health coaching business and actually made a living as a health coach and yoga teacher. In 2011, I joined a yoga-centered t-shirt and printing business, founded a yoga studio and wellness program that served…

Drunk with Satisfaction, #FemFuture
I’ve had the desire to create change [work] for the greater good since I was a child. While in college, this need exploded. Boston has that effect on young impressionable students.

The catalyst of the conversation was my status update over my disappointment in the North Carolina Amendment 1 vote. I am happy to say there was no battle amongst my friends over the terribly disappointing…

Totally Normal
Hello! I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Hubby and I headed to my mother’s house in Vermont for a few days. The food was yummy. The dogs barked a lot. We shopped. We ate. We laughed. I got to see BOTH my parents. Over all it was a good holiday trip. Of course we…

Seduction of the unknown
Today is the first week, in over 8 years that the only responsibility I have (outside my home and husband) is to go to work from 8:30am – 5:00pm. There’s no class to teach or training to go to. No homework to complete. No clients to meet with. No website to update. No shirts to…
