Craving Time & Cooler Temperatures

Now that summer has arrived and settled in for awhile, I’m counting down the days to bid it farewell. In addition to cooler temperatures, I’ve found myself craving time for yoga, creative pursuits and cooking healthy meals. Thanks to a few remarkable women, I’ve stumbled upon a delightful book about better utilizing the 168 hours in your week…

A Return to RL

Well hello there my lovely friends! I have missed you dearly. On Friday my mister and I scooted out of town without saying a proper goodbye to the interwebs. My plan was to sneak away to a beach weekend and focus on blogging. Return to my creative passion. Journal a bit. Hide in the quiet peace of vacation…

Keeping Your Calm

I lost my calm this weekend. Along with it, my Coach wristlet, license, credit card, camera and favorite lip gloss vanished into thin air. In a time when identity theft and other unsavory crimes are abundant, there’s a nakedness in losing important bits of plastic. I’m heading to the DMV today…

Happy Saturday my friends! I hope you’re enjoying a summery day full of joy and creativity. I’m feeling a particular brand of lazy—the kind that visits during the hottest, most humid days. This week, I’ve listed a handful of things I promise not to do in the weekend ahead…

Looking Back to Look Forward

The middle of 2010 has come and gone, yet I’m finding it hard to believe that half the year is behind us. For weeks, I’ve been referring to February like it wasn’t that long ago—and I’m still finding myself writing 2009 at the top of my journal. Time is a tricky creature that I’ve let run wild for the first part of this year…

In a day and age when business conversations are over gTalk and romances blossom online, we are all seconds away from replacing our doctors, travel agents and stock brokers…

Jumping Into June

I am welcoming June with an open mind and an eager soul. Looking out onto the horizon, I am excited about what lies ahead. Even though I cannot tell the future, I can feel the joy and laughter that summer brings. This year has continued to fly by and I’m starting to wonder if that’s my own doing…

Confessions of the Heart

I’ve been thinking a lot about goals and intentions. Since turning 25, my idle thoughts have turned towards the future and where I want to be in the next (gasp!) 25 years. For some reason, it’s hard to imagine that far into the future. That might be because lately I’ve been really concerned with my day-to-day and have been less focused on my long-term dreams…

When Wants Become Too Much

Hello there my friends. It has been too long since our last chat. The beginning of this year has been such a whirlwind I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve dropped in and out of my blog a lot lately, and I’m not pleased that my posts all sound like my journal entries, “I really should write more often… I’ve been so busy… It seems like time is flying by…”

Making Priorities a Priority

It’s been awhile since I sat down and took stock of my priorities. I feel like I’ve been swept up by life’s demands and have done little to anchor myself. I don’t know about you, but I have a tendency to get overwhelmed by my ambition. When I think about all the things I want to do, all the places I want to see and all the people I want to meet—I lose sight…
