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 […]
The Raven
I typically don’t share too much about my art – just the actual piece as I love giving the people the freedom to relate in their own personal way – but I have to talk about the piece. It has meant two different things to me – what I thought I as creating and what […]
Say Yes to Going Solo
I still get questions about my solo trip which is crazy to think was almost a year ago. I’ve since went on another one to Costa Rica and will be going to a yoga retreat by myself in October. I opened a can of worms with this first solo trip. I have been asked by […]
I Will Leave You at Wal-Mart
A few weeks ago I had to devote a day to errands to prepare for our upcoming family vacation – a Royal Caribbean cruise. All of the babysitters were busy and I couldn’t seem to find anyone to pawn the kids (two girls, 8 and 9 years old) off on so here I went with two […]

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 […]

Fear: Part II
“Do something everyday that scares you.” Okay so I can’t remember where I read this but I didn’t come up with this idea.
