“All roads lead to this…” I have told myself repeatedly these past few weeks. It all started with a harmless post on the gifts that come from breakups.

My Inciting Incident
This past Friday was my 5 year anniversary of moving to Los Angeles (LA). My move was prompted by my desire to further my career in the entertainment industry. In college, once I decided to actually pursue this career (versus dream about it), I knew LA would be in my future. The year before I…
Encounters with a Praying Mantis
I’m home sick and resting. 8 weeks of working 60 hours a week, on top of busy weekends to counteract work , has caught up to me. I’m really good at listening to my body and resting, but these past few weeks took a heavy toll on me. One of my spiritual mentors would always…

How to Get a Grip on Your Life
I decided to focus my life on balance last year. I sought to balance my mind, body and soul and yoga naturally seemed to fit into those goals. I wanted to study yoga for years until that point, and now I am a year into my yoga practice and prefer restorative yoga, which uses props…
Goal Setting Can Change Your Life
Change is inevitable. I don’t fear change, I welcome it with my goals. My life long goal is to be the best person I can be and live my best life. I think stagnation means you are dead or close to it. Life is about living. I choose life. I have never been so attached to…
