My ‘Must-Have’ Healthy Resources Online!

Some days…. and for some reason it seems to be particularly MONdays… life can seem exceptionally overwhelming. You know the feeling when you wake up in the morning (sometimes before the sun even rises) and you just want to pull the covers up over your face, hit the snooze button & hide from the world? Well on THOSE days, I need a little extra motivation to get moving, and to choose to face the world with open arms and an open heart. Even before my first cup of coffee.

“Purity”

Late last year, I took a trip around the world, and one of the many highlights was a jaunt to Mal Pais, Costa Rica (see previous blogs).

Self Care

Like most of the women I know, every day I make a “to do” list. Whether we are moms, students, entrepreneurs, or 9-5ers, we have a seemingly endless cue of things & people who need our attention.

“Survey Says…….”

I have been on a recent kick of saying “YES” to life, and all the many opportunities it presents.  so when this random survey appeared in my in-box from someone i hardly even remember meeting… instead of immediately deleting, and marking as spam… i decided to fill it out, and post it as a Blog.

The MIRACLE Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  This morning, January 1, I woke up feeling…. different.  (And not simply because I had imbibed an inordinate amount of pink champagne at various NYE festivities, and kissed a few friends (and maybe even one or two strangers) last night as the ball dropped)…..  Different, because I know that today is a […]

The Upward Turn

Tonight I was preparing a homemade dinner of seasonal California fare for a longtime NYC friend who was visiting for the night. This undertaking is right in line with one of my latest “blissful” passions: a renewed interest in cooking.
