Misadventures on the road, in relationships, and in life. It turns out that Google Maps doesn’t work very well in Charlotte, NC. My first time driving in the city I was traveling with my photographer friend. I’d been asked to teach at a women’s self growth and empowerment event and my friend had been asked to document it. We had no idea how …
Have You Heard?

The Struggle Is Real
Staying present is hard. It’s easy to drift out of our bodies and into our heads, and our minds tend to wander back and forth between the past and the future. Meditation helps.

Today Is A Big Day!
It’s time. It took me a while to learn to go with the flow of life and get out of the way. I still often struggle with wanting a plan, a formula or a method – but when I get one I often struggle with wanting to rebel against it. I’ve found that I need a balance of dedicated practice, well planed …

Morning sickness was a 24/7 experience, but feeling grounded …
What To Do When Everything Feels Off
Have you ever felt like you are working really hard, but not getting where you want to go? I have. Have you ever felt like you are saying prayers, setting intentions, giving offerings and dedicating rituals, but what you are trying to manifest in your life is still not coming? I have, many times.

So, About Pleasure…
This shift blew my mind… and as a result I was given a beautiful gift representing support and encouragement, a night out dancing with my man, tickets to an amazing event, a beautiful card expressing love and recognition from Marie Forleo’s team, an invite to another amazing upcoming event, a date lunch with my man, the opportunity for some really cool collaborations, and …
