Wisdom Wednesday #70 – Why Do We Do What We Do?
Happy Wednesday! This summer I started reading a book called Eastern Body, Western Mind. The book details psychological human development with the chakra system. It is one of my all time favorite books. I had to stop reading because of the depth of it’s truth. This weekend, I reopened the book and started to re-read the chapter on…
I’m Thankful for: Blowing Out the Walls of Fear
It’s almost a month since I have been back from my two month summer hiatus. I approached those months with intention. I wanted to write my first book, deepen my spirituality and focus on my health and energy. Every step of the way there was a road block or detour. I breathed through each irritation and while I…
Mindful Monday #112 – Energy
Improv is back in my life and I love it! I have been studying for over three years. I first studied the craft for a year and half and I noticed that I had a long way to go. Being completely raw and real on stage was frightening every time and it did not seem…

It’s All About the Breath
Stop. Notice anything? No. Check again. Still nothing? I’ll give you a hint, check within yourself. Are you breathing? Don’t throw the argument on the table that of course you are breathing, because you are alive. Are you really breathing, mindfully breathing? I started a new improv class this past weekend which focuses on character…
Mindful Monday #44 – Awareness
“How are you?” A very simple question that is often followed with a basic answer. Greetings between people are so common in daily life that they have become mechanical. We give the same answer to everyone we come in contact with, regardless if we truly mean what we say. These general questions that are asked…
Improv and The Art of Presence
I’ve studied improv for almost two years and I absolutely love it. Improv allows you to be a kid again and invites your imagination to run wild. It takes you to new places, characters and stories based on an audience suggestion. From the audience perspective, improv appears to be as simple as the conversation between…
