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...]

Blog - Living a Healthy Lifestyle Inside Out

Listen up; it’s not just about exercising. So I’m going to let you in on one my biggest secrets on how I live a healthy lifestyle inside out. I’m known as the “Fiber Queen” with my friends, family, and coworkers. Literally, everyone knows this and will ask me for tips and advice on how to incorporate more fiber into their diets, and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It may come as a surprise to people, when they realize that I tend to have in moderation, some sweets everyday. Love Dark Chocolate Edamames, Red Velvet cupcakes, Rainbow cookies/cake, and Ralph’s Ices!

However, I wasn’t always known as the “Fiber Queen”. This all came about back when I was a senior in college. In Respect & Honor Your Inner-Neurotic Quirky Self, previous blog [Continue Reading...]

Here’s another confession, so brace yourself for what I’m about to share. I recognize that I can be really intense and have this honest straight-forward-tell-it-like-it-is personality. Let me share a funny dating story to help you get a better sense.

About three years ago during the summer time, I decided to give online dating, Jdate, a try, after being out there single and dating for almost a year. I was 30 years old and had previously ended a seven year relationship with a guy who insisted on us planning our wedding, but he couldn’t take the step to actually propose with a ring he supposedly had – yes, he definitely had commitment issues.

After exchanging a few emails, I had a phone conversation with this 28-year-old guy from White Plains, NY, I met [Continue Reading...]

Rainbow at Machu Picchu, Peru One of my next Travel Adventures - Climbing Machu Picchu!

As much as I’m a very honest straight forward tell-it-like-it-is type of person, truth be told, I sometimes struggle with having those difficult confrontational conversations. Having to tell others “no” or how you will not spend time with them because you don’t agree with the decisions they make or their lifestyle or how they complain about everything but do nothing to change the situation, can be stressful and apprehensive.

Perhaps, it may be about how you are insulted or bothered by something a friend or coworker did, and you are not sure where it is coming from or the reason for such behavior. It could very well be nothing that you have done wrong at all, and this person may be angry or jealous of you for some reason that you [Continue Reading...]
