Let’s Talk About Rest When was the last time you were able to truly rest?  I am not talking about a 10 minute break or that lunch hour eating your sandwich. I am talking about active resting, which may sound like an oxymoron, but stick with me here. Active resting is about loving your body….

It’s My Birthday Month It is truly a gift to celebrate another year around the sun! I feel truly blessed and grateful  to add another year to this beautiful thing called life. I know for so many people getting older can feel like a death sentence. For me, I choose to fully celebrate life and embrace the gifts….

The Pull Sometimes courage is not always about the destination. The final point. The grand reveal. Sometimes courage is about the in-between. The in-between of the life you’ve been living and the life you are meant to live. Lately, I’ve been experiencing a lot of the in-between space. Ready to leave my old self behind….
