Hi Courageous & Remarkable Ones! Wow, we’ve got so much to catch up on! I’ve missed you all! I know many of you have stayed connected with me the last few years on Instagram, which I so appreciate. I really love sharing and chatting about photos and practical strategies (focused on travel, adventures, mindfulness, intentional living), as well as inspirational notes and mantras with you. Here’s what I’d like to offer you, announce, and what you can expect from me this year:

Intuitively, I knew the Wanderlust Yoga Festival in Aspen/Snowmass, Colorado was where I had to be this summer. Because my heart fluttered and immeditately happiness came over me, the moment I watched the Find Your True North video with scenes of the festival.

It all seemed so magical to be in the magnificent mountains and ski town for practicing yoga choreographed to live music or DJ with celeb yoga instructors like Elena Brower, Gurmukh, and Schuyler Grant.

The wait had been two years for me. Since other commitments and timing wasn’t right before then. Though getting to Aspen/Snowmass wasn’t quite that easy for a traveler from out of state. I flew into Denver, Colorado to visit one of my Tulum sisters and yoga instructor, Jenna, (met at the Tulum yoga sisterhood retreat), [Continue Reading...]

For whatever reason, resistance has been a theme for me for the past month. Between training for the Brooklyn Half Marathon and attending a HR professional training class, resistance had almost taken me down.

So much so, that there were a few moments where I wanted to quit everything. Quit CrossFit. Quit training for the half marathon. Refuse to go to another HR training class.

Yes, the stress and pressure of trying to make it all fit into the schedule seemed a bit overwhelming. Add on struggling through my initial 8 mile long run. Throw in feedback I received during the HR certification training that I perceived to be a bit over the top and harsh.

There I was at my breaking point where quitting everything seemed like the best solution. Until I [Continue Reading...]

What worked for you the last three years, or even last three months, just may not be serving you well any longer. Kind of feels even out of alignment with who you are or what you really want or need now and going forward.

Still somehow you tend to get caught up in the keep-on-doing-the-same-approach, because it’s easier, familiar, and feels safer than trying something new, or so you believe.

In being honest with yourself, consider feeling lighter and more at ease. Then imagine the potential that could be if you let yourself welcome the adventures and joy in a different decision. What would that look like for you?

You’re allowed to Change Your Mind and Approach…

In what you desire from a partner in a relationship.
In the type of expectations you hold of [Continue Reading...]

Why I’m Letting Go of Long-Term Goals…

When it comes to trying something new or embracing change or facing our fears, I’ve come to realize that sometimes it’s best and most successful to only commit to right now and short term. As in this day, this week, the next 2 weeks, the next month, or the next 3 months.

Because over-thinkers like myself, have a tendency to talk ourselves out of something before we even give it a chance.

How could this possibly work with my schedule?
What will I have to give up or change?
How will I be able to sustain this commitment?
Will this allow for flexibility in my life?

So let me walk you through my 5-step practical approach that I’ve used more recently when I evaluated whether or not to give CrossFit, skill-building and interval training [Continue Reading...]
