I’ve been talking about taking risks a lot. Well, suffice to say that speaking in front of 300 people (with the video likely to reach, um, ten times that) was a huge risk for me! Last Tuesday, March 12th, I made my way to the El Rey (right in my old neighborhood) to talk to … Continue reading
Hey guys! Has it really been a month since I’ve said anything here? Well, it’s been amazing, and busy, and tough. February was filled with connection, hard work, late nights and all things new. Since October, there had been a lot of changes in my life (a major relationship ending, six weeks of living all … Continue reading
Has it ever happened to you? You had a bad day and go to bed feeling crappy. Upon waking the next morning, you dread going to work. Traffic is a nightmare, and once you’re at work, it feels like every difficult situation that could possibly arise magically does. You get home only to snap at … Continue reading

I got caught in my own trap. It happens to the best of us and it also definitely … Continue reading

In the months since she made her proclamation I have tried to disprove her theory but I can’t do it. Because I do think that that is what we all want. We want to cook meals and … Continue reading
I read a fantastic article a few days ago and just had to write about it, since it hit so close to home in terms of what I experienced in my last job. Tell me if this sounds like you: You haven’t gotten a raise (or may have even taken a paycut), but your list … Continue reading
It was 10pm on a Tuesday and my best friend and I were deep into her wedding preparation. We’d affixed labels to 144 beer bottles brewed by a friend, gotten the music set, gone over her vows and were planning on working out the table numbers when it hit: the desperate need for a break. … Continue reading
You know. You do – you really do. You don’t need to go looking, or write it down in your journal, or spend an hour in meditation, or go for a run on the beach. You already know. You know where you’re feeling pinched, suffocated, resentful, overloaded, burned out, unappreciated, struggling, anxious. You know where … Continue reading
