Learning is what makes life worth living, and as we learn more, we change, and as we change, our lives change. As we grown, our lives grow. I’m always improving myself, and my life. As long as I’m alive, I wish to continue to learn how to live better. As long as you live, keep learning how to live. Happy Weekend!
Read MoreA nap in the middle of the day used to be standard practice when we were little but now, it’s such a luxury. If you’re a parent, it’s even more of a luxury. There’s something nice about having the abundance of time to doze off mid day, resting your body and your mind. I’ve gotten into the habit during one weekend day of starting the day with yoga, cleaning the house, and then reading/napping while Matt’s at work. It’s such a
Read MoreI’ve been thinking a lot about our society and society’s relationship with logic and feeling, the tendency to prioritize logic over feelings, and then the consequence of finding ourselves in a position where we need to suppress those feelings in order to endure a life built by logic.
Read MoreLibraries are my happy place. I love books. I love to read and I love to learn. Most of all, I love the fact that the knowledge you seek is so easily accessible simply by finding the right book. A healthy diet not only consists of good food, but also of what you feed yourself through your senses, what you read, what you watch, hear and who you surround yourself with. Books can be good food and good medicine. Remember
Read MoreSo much of our reality is determined by mindset, and supportive stimuli. We can’t change our reality surrounded by the stimuli of our past reality. We can’t create a new reality by engaging in the old relational patterns, self-destructive behaviors associated with our old current self and current reality. Change involves a combination of saying yes and saying no.
Read MoreMatt and I talk a lot about standards. We’ve found that when we raise our standards, the universe usually comes through with something better for us. Getting clear on what you want also involves getting clear on what you don’t want. Have you been wasting your energy chasing things that, in actuality, you don’t want? If you can stop chasing the wrong things, you free up energy and space in your life for new and better things
Read MoreThere was a time after college, when I fell in love with food and with the art of creating meals. I think I was watching a lot of cooking shows, and reading Michael Pollan books at the time. Now, I’ll admit that I’ve lost touch with the art of food a bit. I work, and practice yoga, and come home to a dinner my husband prepped at the beginning of the week. There is something very special, and also rare about connecting
Read MoreRest doesn’t just have to equal stagnation or non-doing. Certain activities can also be renewing and recharging. Below are 11 ways to recharge:
Read MoreToo often we focus on what we don’t want. We think about, complain about, get angry about what’s not right. We miss the opportunity to design our new lives. Don’t focus your energy on fighting the old. Focus on building the new so you can feel all the feels associated with that dream. Happy weekend!
Read MoreI remember 4th of July growing up. The neighborhood would get together for a barbecue. The adults would all gossip while the kids played and somebody inevitably brought strawberry shortcake. The grand finale at the end of the day was the fireworks show in our neighbor’s driveway. I loved it all. I think most of us have fond memories of fireworks and even in adulthood I find myself mesmerized by their light. With the
