A Walk in the Woods

If you’re walking in the woods and you forget to wear your FitBit…do the steps actually count? This is a question I pondered out loud recently as friends and I embarked on a three mile hike through the Florida Greenway. I had a brief moment of discontent and panic when I realized moments after starting […]

Brown Hair Don’t Care

Driving home from dinner with my mentor and the thing that stands out the most to me is the fact that we didn’t talk about my hair…and thank GOD. You see, I stopped dying my hair blonde about a year and a half ago…it’s been slowly growing out into an ombré style and not only […]

Lessons from a Grocery Store

Today I refused to pull out my cell phone. Today I was at the deli waiting for my number…number 98…to be called and I refused to take out my cell phone and idly scroll through Facebook or Instagram to fill the empty space. It was painful. Well, not really. But, I had to really CHOOSE […]

New Year (kinda). New You? It’s not too late!

This is a screen shot from my Headspace app. One of my goals, or dare I say ‘New Years Resolutions,’ for 2017 is to be more present. This can be a bit ambiguous – as it’s hard to measure, so I felt that a daily mediation practice would get me where I wanted to go (or […]

Living Intentionally

Are you living intentionally? How often do we find ourselves just skating through life…allowing life to simply happen. We just exist or survive with no real direction or purpose.

Dinner with an ex: Do or Don’t?

Well, I did. Last week. And I’m still thinking about it… Let me set up the scene: I had just gotten home from work and I no sooner plopped myself on the couch when I received the text, “Hey, I’m in town if you’d like to grab a beer after work.” Now, nine times out […]

Wise Words Wednesday

I learned a very valuable lesson today from a client of mine. She was expecting a package from the postal service and it never arrived. After two weeks past it’s expected due date, it finally showed up on her door step with an apology from the postman saying it was at the bottom of his […]

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Despite popular belief, not ALL single people loathe Valentine’s Day. I, for one, have (almost) always enjoyed this holiday and when looking back, it’s the years I’ve spent it ‘alone’ that bring back the fondest memories. I’ve had the opportunity to celebrate this special day with several gentlemen and only a handful have been lucky […]

Gotta Start Somewhere…

Around this time last year I got the inkling to start a blog, but for reasons that will remain untold (at least for now) I let the idea go. So much has changed since then and two weeks ago, over blueberry-pineapple margaritas, my soon to be sister-in-law rekindled the spark. Having just celebrated my 29th […]
