If you look really closely at my left eye, you’ll notice something, something that’s been happening a lot lately: It twitches. Some might say it’s because of a lack of magnesium, but I and my doctor agree: my magnesium levels are just fine. And we also both agree on something else: I’m burnt out. I’m […]

Earlier this year, my friend was himming and hawing about whether or not she should go on a yoga retreat to Tahiti at the end of June. This girl works her ass off. We’re talking 14 hour days, and often, weekends too. “Go!” I urged her. “Ya, but it’s $1800 just for the flight!” she […]

I have talked a lot about goals over the course of the almost eight years that I’ve been writing this blog. In the earlier days, I was all about goal setting. In fact, you might have described me as a goal setter on proverbial steroids (and I wouldn’t argue with you). A little too keen, […]

This coming Sunday, I will pay my last respects to yet another friend and mother of two young children – another life gone too soon. Today, I am sending prayers to a family member who is undergoing surgery for breast cancer literally as I type this. And I’m still feeling the heaviness of the lives […]

In the mad rush of motherhood, of the many things to fall by the wayside is something I never saw coming: Quiet. Yes, yes, yes. I know. Baby’s cry. Toddler’s tantrum. How could I not expect my peace and quiet to be sacrificed? And especially now that my baby has become a very opinionated and […]

Last month, I ran into someone I hadn’t seen in awhile, and I remarked that, “Wow! Your business seems to be blowing up right now! Good for you!” To which she replied, “Does it? Or is that just what I’m having you believe on social media?” My friend was right: I hadn’t seen her in […]

I am a goal setter by nature. Get straight A’s – check. Move to California – check. Meet and marry the man of my dreams – check. Have a family – check (well, actually, in progress. But certainly off to a beautiful start!) By all intents and purposes, if you look at my life on […]
