What Makes A Good Life?

0 Comments

 
I just watched a beautiful Ted Talk by Robert Waldinger on 'Lessons from the Longest Study on Happiness.'
​
The big takeaway - relationships matter most. It still catches me by surprise. At this point, how many times have you heard that connection and quality relationships are more meaningful than wealth, fame and achievement? And yet, how many times do we go after those very things?

How Her Life Transformed

0 Comments

 
You know what's tough? When you feel like your life is 'just fine.' Or so you tell others and mostly yourself. It's this weird in between you live in where you rationalize everything in your life to feel better about it.

And you live like that for a while. You take your smart, motivated, passionate self and you subdue her bit by bit.
​

Wondering where the joy is amongst the junk?

The Reason Behind Your Fear (and the science of it)

0 Comments

 
When I first heard about the Women's March last November, I was SO excited about it! Finally a march for women. Women to stand up and be seen. Our voices being heard. To show we exist and matter.
Feminine power rising in a time where we need it most. Nurturing, empathic, multi-dimensional, high quality, considering everyone affected when making a decision, and the list goes on. #mothernature. Not a knock to masculine power but we have enough in the world and the balance has been skewed for some time.
This march was everything about empowering women and it wasn't even a second thought for me. I help women step into their own power so wouldn't I march with so many to show our collective power?
And yet, sometimes the very things we get so fired up about is what can dissipate with the best rationalization ever. The thing you know for certain in every part of your being -- so much so you get those tingly feelings throughout your body -- can be what we end up letting go so easily.
Why is that?

What’s Transforming Today?

Snafu from my side. I had this diamond metaphor to share but realized I can't use some cheesy metaphor because it's not big enough to capture the essence of who YOU are. Truth is you're already a diamond. Fashioned beautifully. What’s missing is the final polish for you to see your brilliance.

I see the immense light within you, even if you don't see it yourself yet.
The light trying so hard to shine but stifled by the box it feels like it has to live in. That it has to be in all the time.
  • The perfection box
  • The I'll-get-around-to-it box, after I've done all these things for others.
  • The I haven’t accomplished anything box
  • The I’m not beautiful enough box
  • The I’m SO busy box…with things I don’t really want to do
  • The box you don't fit into, but for whatever reason you keep trying to stuff yourself in.
Talk about a bad outfit, the box has got to go.

I'm reminded of a beautiful client of mine --

Thanks Giving in a New Way

How was your Thanksgiving? Filled with yummy food and family (I hope!)? It's my favorite holiday of the year because we get together with our loved ones to connect and eat -- nothing better than filling our hearts and tummies!

This year was a new experience for me. Antonio and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary (can't believe it's already been a year!) and decided to travel to the Grand Canyon and Vegas. We like to have adventure and luxury so it was the perfect blend. 

With work schedules, it meant traveling on Thanksgiving Day and the first time I wasn't going to be sitting at a table, traditionally, with family/friends.

Pumpkin Spice and All Things Nice

4 Comments

 
Can you smell when fall has arrived? You know what I'm talking about....
The crisp air that has ever so slightly cooled down and makes you want to inhale deeply.
A longggg, beautiful breath of fresh air.
The feeling of cozying up on the couch with a blanket and hot cup of tea in hand. 
Oh and the colors!  Don't you just love those rusts, golds, yellows and red? Even eggplant comes into harvest in that gorgeous purple.
​And who can forget all things pumpkin -- hello Starbucks and Trader Joe's!
