This one is for the girls. It’s not long and every single young woman needs to read this. Maybe even some not-so-young women need to read this. Much of our lives, our worth is directly tied to our looks. Our body image feeds our self esteem. Our sweet, sensitive hearts are...
For all the kiddos heading back to school, this post is for you. Feel those butterflies in your stomach? Use them. Those butterflies are energy just waiting to be applied. You can put them to good work today as you brave the ‘first day’ back to school. New teachers. New...
I heard an amazing song by Alanis Morissette today and was so struck by the lyrics that I immediately downloaded it and played it on repeat for the next hour. I love to dissect the lyrics to really hear what the artist is communicating in the song. Music can express...
Two things: 1) I'm working with a group of women to plan a workshop that we will deliver to other women in India. It's going to be phenomenal. It's building, it's brewing, it's developing right now, in each of our hearts and in our discussions. Last week, we discussed a crazy...

Sometimes we find ourselves in a tough moment. Maybe we created it; maybe it was imposed upon us. Either way, it’s a bad one. We all have bad moments. Sad moments. Scary moments. Sometimes we land in a good moment. A great moment. A lovely one, a happy one. Moments. Our...
