Nature
"We often forget that we are nature. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection with nature, we have actually lost our connection to ourselves." -Andy Goldsworthy A couple of months ago I made a promise to myself to spend...
Motivation
I get asked a lot “How do you stay so motivated?” Well the truth is, I don’t. Motivation has nothing to do with it. I don’t wake up everyday motivated to work my ass off. I don’t want to do all the things on my list, hit the gym, and eat the veggies instead of the...

Healthy Weight
Yesterday I weighed in at 130.8 and screamed with excitement. You see, 2 years ago I started this journey to healthy and 130 was my ideal "healthy weight" but I wanted to build it on. Not like I really had any choice in the matter. I always hovered around 117-119 my...

Be Mindful of Your Vibe

The Brain…
The brain is an interesting thing. It's funny how everything is good, You can be kicking ass all day long, accomplishing everything you set out to do, make awesome connections, have a killer work out, make big break through with clients, have a good hair day, eat...
Every Day Matters
It's funny how one day can hold so many highs and so many lows. How you can have the best morning, have good conversations, and have exciting things happen but then have an utterly trying afternoon. One that makes you want to crawl under a hole. This morning I was...
