It doesn’t matter how you slice it, dice it, package it, or present it; rejection in any capacity hurts. Unfortunately, a by-product of going after things in life is being told no or that you’re not good enough and in the end one just has to be resilient in coping when things don’t work out […]
Two days ago, my husband and I shared a delightfully unhealthy day at the LA County Fair. It was a rare Sunday where we were both free by 11am and the day was ours. No soccer, no yoga, no work on Monday; so we decided to let loose and have some fun. We were not […]
Day 6/6—Give Back to Others “Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” […]
Day 5/6—Work Your Butt Off! Nothing and I mean nothing in my life has ever been easy for me. Everything I have, everything I have achieved, every success I have tasted has been due to gritting my teeth, rolling up my sleeves and digging into do the dirty work.

Day 2/6—Break the Rules There are all these rules that we always need to abide by: don’t do this, you can’t say that, you can’t wear that, etc. We allow ourselves to be defined by these self-imposed chains that we permit to shackle us and it’s absolutely horrible. How can we possibly thrive if we […]
Day 1/6: GOAL CRUSHING–TRUST YOURSELF It’s really hard to believe in yourself when you feel like your life has spiraled out of control and you feel completely directionless. I have spent years waking up and going through the motions; walking into work like a zombie, not really seeing anyone or feeling much of anything. It […]
Last week I talked about feeling completely and utterly broken down and demoralized. And while feelings are feelings and we should feel them and honor them, I certainly don’t condone wallowing in self-pity. My words last week were meet with your support and affirming words of understanding and appreciation for giving you a voice. After […]
It has been a while since I have been able to take a yoga workshop and spend time under the instructorship of a seasoned instructor and just learn. So when my friend Armen of Pack Your Mat let me tag along to join him at the IG Getaway in Santa Monica I was stoked. The […]
