Recently I've had to come to terms with the fact that I am not the type A personality that I thought I was. I have the skills, and ideas but not the execution. My life just go so busy that I found myself struggling, and letting things slide. Seriously managing an online business, career, home, family, friends, and I admit I need help. So many times I found myself without business cards to hand out. Or my tablet for newsletter sign-ups. Plus that dongle for the credit card swipe payments goes …

Yoga for tired feet (5 minute fix)
Currently, I'm preparing for some travel and it occurred to me that I haven't mentioned before one of my travel packing essentials... a tennis ball! Now, yes sometimes I just buy one at my destination, but 9/10 I pack one with me. Why? Because they are amazing for helping with feet that have been walking all day. Or helping to alleviate post-flight swelling. This yoga for tired feet routine can be done in 5 mins and really helps give some new life into your feet! As I mentioned I like to …
Exploring Chicago
I have a secret. Long time readers will know this, but most probably won't. I play Pokemon Go. In fact I love Pokemon in general and have played since the very first Red and Blue games. For the last two Summers the creators of Pokemon Go, Niantic, have had location based events and in March I hit the lottery and go an invite. The location: Chicago! So with a few weeks of planning and preparation we set off to explore the Windy City of Chicago. The trip began with an unexpected upheaval when …
Why I’m embracing minimalism
A few years ago I stumbled on "The Minimalists" TED talk. Much of what they said made sense, and a lot was what my mother practiced my whole life. If it doesn't have a use or make you happy why have it? Are you surrounded by stuff? Imagine living an intentional life, not a perfect or easy life, but a simple one. As I watched more videos, I came to a realization. Much of the things I own, actually owned me. Above all, much of what I owned did not make me happy, and was actually adding stress to …
Fort Wilderness Cabins – Resort Review Disney World
For those not in the know, my husband is a Disney cast member. He's an Imagineer. Anyway, this means he sometimes has to travel to Disney World to work on projects. And, I often tag along. Who wouldn't want to spend 6 days touring the Disney World theme parks? Each visit we try to stay somewhere new. And this trip, we scored a week long stay at Fort Wilderness Cabins! So full disclosure, the accommodation and park entry was totally free for me. I just paid for air fare and food. Yes, I …

Explore – How one word changed my outlook for 2018
In December 2017 when I decided my guiding word for 2018 was explore, I really had no idea what lay ahead for me and how my word would impact my life. In all I took 5 trips in 9 months. I've said yes to new exciting opportunities and adventures, explored new relationships and experiences and been more open to trying new things. 2018 has truly been a year of travel, adventure and exploration. As the the year comes to a close, I am struck by how this year is different, how I am different. …
3 Ways to stop slipping on a yoga mat
Many of my blog posts and videos are inspired by questions and comments from yoga students in my classes. Recently, I had two ladies from my classes at Gold's Gym ask about how to stop slipping on a yoga mat. As always I had a few suggestions because there is never ONE solution to a problem. I also thought that maybe others were dealing with this situation too. So why not make this a blog post? Especially as the holiday season is coming and there are stockings to be filled and bargains to …

Do more Yoga T-Shirt!
January 2017 I made a conscious effort to purge my closet. Out with the old and in with the new! A fresh start. Since then I've culled my closet further and I've been exploring using a capsule wardrobe for yoga, life and travel [more on that in a future post]. One thing I did this year was create my own yoga T-shirt. It's tough finding yoga related clothing anyway that wasn't crazy expensive (why is yoga clothing so pricey?) so I decided to create my own! I signed up for an Amazon Merch account …
