I was so honored to have been a part of this, and I would do it all again (even with all that nervousness!) in a heartbeat. So touched to have shared the stage with these incredible human beings.
Small Life, Slow Life: DIY – How to Make Kombucha! {Photos, Recipe, Resources!} (Updated 04-01-13)
I’ve been wanting to make my own kombucha for a very long time! I actually began a batch late last year – I grew my own SCOBY (that’s a symbiotic culture of bacteria & yeast, for the newbs) from scratch and had transferred it to sweetened tea and was just days away from taking my … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: Beyond Luon Recap! {Photos!}
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

Small Life, Slow Life: Defy Gravity (aka Live Wild & Free, Just Don’t Forget to Turn the Burner off)!
Life has been pretty incredible lately! I’m working a lot (my last day off was over a week ago), but I feel really great. I’m in that kind of mood where I’m just saying “Yes!” to all kinds of things I would normally never do. One of those things? Anti-gravity yoga. I’d never heard of … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: What Parts of Yourself Have You Abandoned?
If you’ve been thinking that it’s been quiet around here, you’re right. Life had some pretty dramatic changes for me in the final quarter of 2012, and rather than force myself to write sub-par content to keep my posts regular, I listened to my intuition and stayed quiet while the dust settled. Now, I have … Continue reading
Small Life, Slow Life: When the Unthinkable Happens. (Also known as: How to Cope When Your World Just Exploded.)
It happens to all of us, sweetheart. And it very recently happened to me. Things are humming along fine, and then – bam. A blow to the head. Suckerpunch. You didn’t see it coming. You’re blind-sighted. Knocked out cold. Flat on your back. Everything you’d been planning, dissolved. Ruined. Lost. O-V-E-R. It’s not the first time … Continue reading
