I’ll never forget – it was late 2007 and I was sitting in a meeting at my very corporate America job. The meeting was with our Human Resources department to go over our benefits, health insurance, 401k plans, etc. It was afternoon and I had just come from lunch. As I was sitting in the meeting, she was talking about … Read More

The Power Of Visualization
I seldom miss posting a blog, but last week I was traveling to LA for a lecture at Wanderlust Hollywood and a beautiful miracle happened right before I was leaving.

Seeing Things With New Eyes
Last weekend I shared a post on my Instagram, and it was a very powerful and shifting realization for me. So, I figured I should share it here with you as well.

The Power of Solitude
This week Needy Helper and DrugRehab.com interviewed me about my sober journey. It was interesting to hear both sets of questions and how similar they were. I suppose it is because a lot of people who are trying to get sober or are newly sober have the same questions about how to be successful with their own sobriety. The question … Read More
Replacing Fear Of The Unknown With Curiosity
Recently I went hiking at Red Rock Canyon. As we pulled up, we had no idea what to expect as we randomly chose a hike on the map. As we made our way down the path, there was a spot on the trail that had a small fork in it. After choosing which way we would go, we weren’t sure … Read More
Sometimes In The Being Is The Becoming
I’d love to say these are “just because” roses, but they’re not. They are because I completely lost my cool the other day for reasons that seemed immensely important to me and there’s apology tucked in these stems. But that’s beside the point. The truth is sometimes I get angry. Like if I’m being really honest, tantrums are no stranger … Read More

8 Years Sober And I’m Still Remembering Why I Started
Last week I celebrated 8 years of sobriety from alcohol and cocaine. If you follow my Instagram, you saw that I took a time out to reflect on what that all means to me by celebrating with some adventures in Venice Beach and Santa Monica, California. Yesterday I did an interview with Shair Podcast about my sober journey and it … Read More
Out of Office: Gone Exploring
Hello from Venice Beach! I celebrated 8 years of sobriety this week with a little beach trip to California to explore Venice, Santa Monica and Marina Del Ray. I have to be honest with you that I was having a hard time enjoying it at first because I was putting so much pressure on myself to create an epic post … Read More
