I followed a hunch and it led to a pleasant surprise.

Mindful Monday #184 – The Strength Of Your Relationships
I woke up early Sunday morning with today’s wisdom. The sun was not even up yet. When I wake up that early, I make it a point not to check my alarm. If I don’t know the time, I feel it gives me a chance to fall back to sleep. When I know the time,…
Mindful Monday #181 – Restore Balance
Happy Monday! As summer winds down we may find ourselves at the start of something new. We may have a new schedule or be at a new school/ career or in a new home or city. Or maybe we are experiencing life without someone like a parent, friend, a partner or a special co-worker. Or…
Mindful Monday #176 : The Right Step
What will you do next? I hate that question because it’s such a Western question to ask. We live in a country of doers where time is valued for the money you make aka time equals money. People are perceived to only have value when they are adding to the bottom line for themselves or…
Mindful Monday #171 – Don’t Lose Your Zest
2017 was filled with several challenges. I wrote vaguely about some of these challenges in a few posts, others I kept private and shared with a handful of friends. I was given a breath before each challenge and I am thankful for each breath I was given. I didn’t have a lot of energy or…
Mindful Monday #169 – Mindfulness at Work
While at work, be mindful of your environment. It may help direct you toward a new path.
Mindful Monday #162 – Strength in Knowledge
Knowledge has made a large presence in my life this year. It was skilled in how it showed up and I almost missed it. This year has been filled with a lot of challenges, unexpected experiences and big spot lights that has been shed in the moment of the women (that is me) that is…
Mindful Monday #149 – People Crave Comfort
This past weekend I assisted my sister with a community workshop that she taught. My little niece of 18 months was present too. She was content with her books and little cat stuffed animal that she loves. Overtime she became fussy, which was the combination of being tired and teething. I took my niece outside to play, she…
Mindful Monday #148 – Uncover Your Blessings
Life is no joke. For all it’s beauty there is ugliness. The ugly is often created by us or toward us. How we carry ourselves in our hardest moments speaks volumes to our character. My heart stopped on Friday. It felt like the wind was knocked out of me. I was blind sided and I felt…
Mindful Monday #144 – Is Change Positive?
While I embrace change and encourage you to embrace it too, is all change we encounter positive?
Mindful Monday #143 – When Dreams Fall Short
I start a new feature in a week. I got back in town a week ago, and I have been focused on building a new foundation. I‘m developing and re-visioning a morning and night routine as well as daily mindfulness rituals that will work with my work schedule. I have also kick started my yoga practice for the…
Mindful Monday #142 – Trust Yourself
I’m back in Los Angeles! I kicked off my new year this past weekend with one of my intentions for the year: Honor Your Body. I took a four hour yoga class, which was everything I needed to start off the year and my intention. We did yoga, meditation, an out door walking meditation, journaled and did…
Mindful Monday #136 – … And So It Is.
“And so it is!” A phrase so simple but carries so much power. It is a definite yes and serves as a gentle reminder to anyone who speaks it. As I get older, I have discovered how much I love community. I have been practicing yoga for four years! I still feel like a beginner, but I…
Mindful Monday #133 – Embrace Your Shadow
We are capable of loving “unloveable” parts of ourselves all on our own.
Mindful Monday #131 – Radical Acceptance
The way I talk about life anymore sounds like a Hallmark card. I have expressed so much gratitude about life and it’s beauty, to my friends, family and the universe. While I speak, I find myself assessing my words and comparing them to the old way I used to talk about life. My words were once…
