Self-Care, Guilt and Frazzled
I leave for my third solo trip in a year in two days. Two words to describe me right now: Nervous and Guilty So nervous makes sense right? Long flights, first trip to Europe, booked a room with a roommate I’ve only seen on FB in order to save money which now I’m questioning because […]

Today I Celebrate
Today is March 1. This is the month I celebrate reaching that huge milestone in a woman’s life. You know that number we are supposed to fear. The number that means it’s only down hill from here. The number that means our beauty is fading and our value is diminishing. Screw that. 40 or XL. […]
Black Box
We forgot our passions. We forgot to love ourselves. We forgot to care for ourselves. We forgot the goddess inside of us. We forgot that we were beautiful. We forgot to be wild. We forgot how to be sexy. We forgot how to trust. We forgot how to play. We forgot our dreams. We forgot […]
