What questions are you asking yourself?
Around this time a year ago, I found myself asking (myself) a lot of questions… What is really important? What really matters here? How would you LOVE your life to look? What do you really want? What nourishes you? What feeds your soul? How do you want to be remembered? What makes you come alive?…
Read MoreWhat are you holding on to?
I’m back in Gainesville, FL after traveling for almost 3 weeks. It’s bittersweet. On one hand, I’m happy to be back home sleeping in my own bed with Veda, my 6-year-old Doberman Pinscher:). On the other hand, I’m sad to leave family that I don’t get to see very often, fun adventures, and such a…
Read MoreWhat do you fear most?
I just finished reading a book called “The Great Work of Your Life” by Stephen Cope. He starts the book with the following questions… “What do you fear most in this life? What is your biggest fear? Right now.” When I ask myself these questions, my answer is that I will have not lived fully. That…
Read MorePacking and letting go
As I was packing for my upcoming adventure, I was reminded of the process of letting go. I would be traveling for a few weeks and wanted to keep my stuff to a minimum. It wasn’t an easy task to accomplish. “You should take this, you might need this, what if this happens, what if…
Read MoreWhat are you creating for yourself?
I’m getting ready to take myself and my Business on an adventure. I’m so excited. I’ve been working hard over the past 10 months to create this for myself. When I became an entrepreneur last summer, I created a vision for my business. I wanted to create a business that would allow me to work…
Read MoreWhat are you running from?
It was the second day of my first three-day silent retreat. I felt like I couldn’t take it anymore. Too much silence. Too many unwanted thoughts. Too many unwanted emotions. Too much discomfort. Too much pain. It was time to plan my escape. I figured I could sneak out after lunch without anyone noticing. I…

Meet Veda. She is the 2nd love of my life, after my husband Dave. (Side note – I just realized over the weekend when I was thinking about writing this post that Veda and Dave both have the same letters in their names. How cool is that? It was totally unintentional on our parts when we…
Read MorePulling out the weeds
I did some yard work over this past weekend, which involved pulling out the weeds around some of the plants in the front yard. I love pulling weeds. It feels so good to get a hold of the weed and pull it up by its roots. Initially, I found it difficult to differentiate the weeds from…
Read MoreWhat’s the Learning?
I dropped out of college after my freshman year. I thought I wanted to go to medical school to become a psychiatrist, but found out that I didn’t have an interest in all the science and math that it would require. I was interested in the psychology of human behavior, not so much the hard science behind it.…
Read MoreIs Your Dance Missing a Key Element?
One two three…five six seven… One two three…five six seven… This is the step count for Salsa and Bachata. I’m in the process of learning these dances. Last night I had my second lesson for both dances and am continuing to build on the basic steps. “One two three…five six seven…” It keeps going through…
