Commitment to learning is a mission to staying true to yourself and reconnecting with your divine self. For some people, like myself, this fiery desire of learning is just something I can’t live without, and is almost like an addiction.

Have another confession for you!

So recently, when I was feeling like I lost my creativity and wasn’t quite sure what to do about it, I was not in my best place, and went into this searching phase of trying to figure out what to do next. Then I came to realize that obsessing over this concern was just not working for me. It was actually having the opposite effect, where I was blocking the positive energy and creativity. Hello! How could I have not recognized this? It was time to shift [Continue Reading...]

Cow Harbor Day - Northport Harbor, NY - 9/2011
Cow Harbor Day - Northport Harbor, NY - 9/2011

As the Cow Harbor 10k race is approaching in the coming weeks, it suddenly became obvious to me during my last practice run of the course that running a race implies similar strategy as approaching a relationship.

In the beginning, even though the adrenaline rush is taking over and the excitement of the new is heightened, you can’t go out too fast at the start of a race, or rush a relationship to hurry love. Otherwise, you just won’t stand a chance to make it to the finish line strong or really give the relationship the opportunity to develop!  It’s all about pacing yourself in the race, and in a relationship. Get connected with yourself and the other person first, so you can determine if you’re compatible.

Here’s to new adventures, good times, and stories to tell for years to come!!

Two weekends ago, I found myself with two of my close friends, Erica and AnneMarie, at Club Getaway getting reacquainted with our inner adult camper, adventurous selves, and lodging in rustic cabins.

On the first day, we hiked the Appalachian Trail for two hours and we conquered Caleb’s Peak and St John’s Ledge with a rainforest like experience on the way back. Steady, Safe, Strong!! This was the Self Mantra that I began to chant with my girls all the way back down the mountain trail to the bus making sure we didn’t slip off the rocks or ledges. It was definitely a fun time, with laughs, and adventures at Club Getaway even in the down pouring rain!

Summer has finally arrived – ahh! I’ll be kicking off this weekend with an extended weekend (Love taking Fridays off in the Summer!!) and a day trip to East Hampton to see a theater play called LUV a Comedy at the Guild Hall. So let me count the ways I Love Summer, and please join in with me.

What I Love About Summer! Here are some of my Favorites.

Sunshine waking me up at the rise of dawn shining through my bedroom window. Just so Revitalizing! Longer summer days and sunshine makes some worries go away.
Running outdoors in the parks, in the neighborhoods, in the sun, in the shade, whether early or late in the day. Discovering new paths and personal journeys along the way!
Seeing my neighborhood come alive and spending more [Continue Reading...]
