Whenever You Are Ready
In 2012, I applied for a yoga teacher training program. In the years that followed, I injured myself, moved across country, and found my way back to yoga.
Shimmering Possibility
I recently attended a goal setting session at my local lululemon. I went with my friend and an open mind, hoping to learn something new. The event began with introductions, then a brief visualization of where we hope to find ourselves 10 years from now.

Good Eats & Gratitude – #WLActionPlan Week 2
Since starting the Whole Living Action Plan last week, I've noticed how seldom I acknowledge daily victories. Small, quiet steps go ignored while I look towards the finish line and hold off on uncorking the metaphoric bubbly. Do you struggle with the same?

Seven Years
She writes in a pretty red notebook with red painted nails. Sipping mint tea next to her Mister, lovingly tinkering with her MacBook Air. Her cheeks grow red in the warm sunshine. A few days ago she ran 10 miles, nearly. There was a point when she stopped to walk. A few points, actually. Towards the very end when her body was tired. I don't know what she was thinking about...
Hello World!
The idea of creating this blog has circled through my mind repeatedly these last few months. After sharing my plan with close friends, my mister and many twitter folk, I am finally here. This is the beginning of my pursuit to make each day a bit more extraordinary than the last. I am looking forward to starting this journey with you.
