I’m a busy woman, and the truth is, I like a certain amount of busyness. I feel energized, engaged, and vital when I’m busy. If my schedule is too wide open, I lose momentum; fall prey to depressive tendencies; and don’t feel nearly as healthy. But, I recognize that there’s a skillful way to be […]

Some days are just harder than others. Of course on those days, it can feel harder for us to have access to our higher knowing. At times like this, I’ve always been inspired by this quote: “One must live in the middle of contradiction because if all contradiction were eliminated at once, life would collapse. […]

Being a pilgrim on the path of conscious evolution doesn’t mean you have all the answers. In fact, it often means you have more questions because you’re dedicated to staying present and going into the unknown. BUT, you do reap more wisdom as you go along if you’re open to receive it. Here are some […]

Where does one get their inner resolve from? I’ve been reflecting on this a lot lately. As I look back on the times where I felt I had a growth spurt in inner strength, I started to notice some surprising patterns. Often what was cultivating my inner strength was definitely not what I would have […]

Shiny Object Syndrome: the condition where one gets perpetually distracted by seemingly “newer, shinier, bigger and better” things or ideas, preventing her from ever finishing her current activity or staying on track with her original goals. Now, I was blessed with an inordinate amount of focus and perseverance, but in today’s “no-attention-span” kind of world, […]

I will only live this life once, and I have every intention of living it to the fullest. But so often (even with my no nonsense attitude towards things), I still get side-tracked and fall into un-consciousness and obsess about things that really don’t matter. And I figured, if I am falling prey to this […]

I’m a giver. I’m a “put myself last” kind of girl. I got a lot of training in my life, some intended and some just implied, that told me it was best to put others needs before mine. Always. And a part of me does think this is a really honorable trait, being able to […]

One of my all time favorite quotes from any song is from Bob Marley, “Emancipate yourself from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.” Word. But how do you do that?
