Today, I checked off a baby bucket list item: bioluminescent kayaking with BK Adventure. The journey certainly was an adventure from the start—taking us over three hours to get to the east coast of Florida, with rain and fog patches making it feel like the odds weren’t in our favor. The forecast even called for …
Hello Autumn…
As the autumn equinox settles in, I’ve found myself savoring what’s left of the summer season. Even though the weather is beginning to shift and the holidays are headed this way full throttle, I’ve made it a point to embrace these lingering warm days. Just last week (before fall officially graced me with her presence) …
What’s for dinner?
I’ve always loved cooking. It began with simple pleasures like perfecting the art of grilled cheese sandwiches after school, OG ramen noodles in my college dorm, and breakfast foods for dinner in my early 20s. Back then, cooking was a Sunday ritual. I’d spend the afternoons preparing food with a glass of wine in hand …
8 Energy Givers
I’m sure we can all think of a number of things that drain us of our life force or steal our energy. Obsessive negativity, excessive screen use, substance abuse, toxic people — and this list is only scratching the surface. So if we find ourself swimming in an ocean of energy-zappers, what can we do …
From tech to art..
It’s funny how life leads us down paths we never quite imagined for ourselves. Just last year, I found myself creating print-on-demand merchandise, custom journals, and self-published books, all thanks to the encouragement of a dear friend. What started as a small endeavor quickly blossomed into a series of passion projects that I’ve really enjoyed. …
80 summers (if we’re lucky)
I read this quote today and it was in perfect alignment with the drafting of my baby bucket list (aka. bliss list) “The problem is, you think you have time. On average we get 80 summers… if we’re lucky. Don’t put off the trip. Stop waiting for life to begin. Stay up late with friends. …
Bliss List
So… I’m starting a “bliss list.” Think of it like an everyday wishlist or a ‘baby bucket list’. Things that I want to do in the next 12 months that aren’t necessarily large in scale or a once in a lifetime/“I can’t believe you’re actually doing that” type of thing. (Skydiving may be on your …
Have you moved your body today?
Movement is what we were made for. It’s how we navigate our world, mobilizing us and allowing us to utilize our unique gifts to the fullest. It’s so easy for the mind to jump to “exercise” as acceptable movement, but all movement is good movement for both our physical and mental states. I absolutely love the simplicity …
Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens…
“Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes,Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes,Silver white winters that melt into springs…These are a few of my favorite things.When the dog bitesWhen the bee stingsWhen I’m feeling sad…I simply remember my favorite thingsand then I don’t feel so bad” I adore this song and the lasting …
Life… it’s all about balance
Nature, movement, connection, and our interests; these are 4 critical pillars of healthy living. Now I know that there are other factors that are equally as important (like nutrition, sleep, and safety), but these 4 are my favorite to reflect on and share with others. In my own life, adjustments in these spaces have moved …
