There’s nothing like the beginning of a new month to remind us that every day is a fresh start! It’s a great time to check in and ask: How am I feeling? What’s working? Which areas need a little more attention? I would like to focus more on... As the end of each month nears, [...]
Sometimes you have to step away in order to view something more clearly. I’ve been navigating through another transformational period. When it began, my direction was unclear, but the gravitational pull was there... the need for growth, change, and expansion. For me, personal growth is very much like tending a garden: It starts small, and [...]

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I'm not sure I agree that it's the most important (with my crazy schedule, my vote is for lunch), but it's definitely my favorite genre.

I'm pleased to introduce Mr. Darcy, the babydog love of my life. We've been together since February 6, 2016 when he moved into my place at the ripe old age of 6 1/2-weeks-old. We've had our ups and downs, and even have the occasional spat, but overall we get along. While Mr. Darcy learns most [...]
When people ask where I'm from, I almost always reply: Texas. I spent my childhood in Little Rock, but I was born in Dallas, transitioned into womanhood in Austin, found my true calling in the great state of Texas. Theoretically, we all continue to grow and evolve as the years pass, but from ages 18-32 I [...]
I never really thought about how yoga can help the grieving process until I started to emotionally prepare myself for the anniversary of my best friend's death. It's been thirteen years since we lost Matt. A tattoo on the inside of my left wrist is a subtle reminder to live the way he would. To [...]
