You always hear people say: “It’s 11:11, make a wish.” It’s supposed to be a good luck omen, but I believe 1111 goes beyond good luck. This number sequence started showing up in my life about two years ago right before some new beginnings were brewing and soon surfaced. I started seeing it on clocks, receipts, license plates and various … Read More
Learning To Go With The Flow
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I was just on an adventure on the West Coast with my dearest girlfriends. I used to be the type of person who planned out every detail of a trip like this. I’d have dinners, shows, DJ’s and sights to see, scoped out well in advance. I would have my hotel confirmations … Read More
You Cannot Invest Your Soul In A Compromise

The other part of that lesson I’ve learned is that you cannot invest your soul in a compromise. If your life, lifestyle or life choices are not in harmony with who you … Read More
What’s In Your Hyphen?
I saw and posted a quote not too long ago that really got me thinking.

Just For Today

Be An Eagle
I recently went to a singing bowl meditation. Singing bowls are amazing instruments that make beautiful harmonic sounds similar to the sound a wine glass makes when you run your finger around the rim fast enough. This type of meditation was extremely powerful and fascinating to me. While I was a bit apprehensive that it would actually work because I’ve … Read More
