A few weeks ago, I was a Guest Speaker at Half Hollow Hills High School West (3 classes back to back!) and I discussed with the students the topic, Learning to Embrace Change in Your Life and Career. Without a doubt, Embracing Change is so essential to master, especially if you want to achieve some big goals and conquer your self-limiting beliefs, fears and doubts!

It’s when I’ve stepped forward, believed in myself, stayed committed to the outcome and true to myself, that’s when some powerful moments happened in my life and career!

In this video clip from that day, I shared with the High School Students, How I became a Half Marathon Runner & then got featured in FITNESS Magazine for the July/August 2012 issue.

Tell me are you interested in keeping the momentum going towards your goals, and connecting to similar like minded individuals for synergy, support, and friendships? How about feeling like you can take on the world and become a force to be reckoned with? Well, then I hope you’re staying true to your commitment about always being a student of life because that’s the approach – to stay connected to your authentic self and desires in life!

I’m keeping the commitment to myself to continue to approach life as a student, recognizing that I don’t have all the answers, being open to receiving the wisdom, insights, strategies, creative awareness/inspiration that comes when I self indulge into learning, reflection, mediation, yoga, and retreats. All in all, it’s about taking in what really resonates with me [Continue Reading...]

Masaya Volcano Sunset Hike in Nicaragua
GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour 1/2013

Let’s decide to journey together with a clear intentional statement for how we want to live our lives today and everyday thereafter! Come from the feeling place as you envision what you desire it to be, so you can begin to manifest this into your life. Then commit to it by bringing it forward from your mind and writing it out. Make it real and acknowledge what it is for you. Allow yourself to hold the space of all these desires in your heart, mind and soul.

While on my flight to San Jose, Costa Rica for my GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour, I considered again my decision for traveling on this adventurous trip – continuing to embrace stepping outside my comfort zone, taking more risks, having more once-in-a-lifetime experiences, and reconnecting with [Continue Reading...]

Pacific Ocean coast at El Zonte, El Salvador
GAdventures Volcano Trail Tour 1/2013

Right before I booked my GAdventures trip, Volcano Trail, through Central America, I had a conversation with one of my close friends, Nicole. After I shared how I was embracing where I am in my life right now, making the effort to live my life without regrets and traveling the world rather than waiting on my husband to show up, Nicole’s response was, “As you should. That’s great! Your hubby will be thoroughly impressed when he shows up.” The very next day, without hesitation, I booked my trip.

So I intentionally left behind all the comforts of my home to be out of my element, with the purpose to truly reconnect with myself on a deeper and more spiritual level, while being on this GAdventures YOLO style group tour (You Only Live Once/travelers [Continue Reading...]

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.

Challenging hills in a race represent [Continue Reading...]
