I can’t tell you how to live your life, I can only tell you how I will live my life.
#1: I don’t guard my time but I will moving forward. The days of saying “YES” to not hurt a friend’s feelings or to feel like I’m still a part of the circle ends. In 2015, I will only do things that inspire me, motivate me, better me, and move forward toward my targets in life. Continue reading MY 2015 MANIFESTO
This picture is how I feel about life in general right now.
FUCK EVERYTHING AND BECOME A PIRATE.
That was on the back of a menu at a fabulous bar/restaurant in Bondi in Australia and I for the life of me cannot remember the name of the bar/restaurant but I also took the other photo below there too because 1) the served Sailor Jerry Rum 2) who doesn’t like tequila when they’re getting their festive on and 3) it says Merry Fuckin Christmas.

When my oldest niece, Riley, was born, I decided to try and be the most positive and supportive person for her. I wanted and want her to grow and know that there is no limit on what she can do or what she can dream about. My sis says she (Riley) and her baby sister (Taylor) have old souls and it’s the truth. The wisdom … Continue reading You Do Make a Difference
This quote could not hold better advice for any dreamer out there. Such a simple statement, but so much truth in 12 words. First, I have to thank Karen Peace (follow her on Twitter or Facebook) for posting this on her Instagram because it just strengthened my belief and motivation that the goals I set for myself in 8 months are right. Not that I have/had a doubt … Continue reading If You Can’t Stop Thinking About It, Don’t Stop Working For It.
If eternity is measured by memories treasured in the hearts of loved cities and friends…Then Shel surely knows that he lives as he goes to the The Place Where The Sidewalk Ends. – Sullins Stuart This piece of concrete etched with those words lays outside of one of my favorite churches: St Paul’s Episcopal Church.

There’s always something we’re trying to reason with: family, friends, lovers, kids, pets, coworkers, etc. Those are all the outward things we try to reason with. What about the inward things. Thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc. What about that battle one faces every day with the image staring back at them in the mirror. How do you reason with yourself? Lately, I’ve been in a mood. … Continue reading Trying to Reason with the Hurricane Season
It’s been a couple weeks since I last posted that I was packing my car and heading back South and this photo pretty much sums up what I was feeling, thinking, etc. I can say without a doubt that my decision was 200% the right thing to do. I have never been happier than I am right now. I currently sleep all the way through … Continue reading Just Like That
One of my mentor’s in my career and a friend, Jack Daniel, once said to me: “It’s the quality of life that will matter, not the quantity or the career.” His message has stuck with me since then. I hear it quietly in my head over and over. In the words of Gareth Asher, “Gotta get going, gotta get on the road…I’m my packing bags … Continue reading The Voice That Speaks Inside
As Bowie sang, “Ch-ch-changes, just gonna have to be a different man…” and it’s time for me to become not a different woman, but a better and healthier woman. I’ve been wanting to go vegan in the way of food for a while. I will even painfully give up cheese. CHEESE. Meaning GOAT CHEESE. Oh, how I love goat cheese, but alas going vegan in the way of … Continue reading Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
On January 1, 2014, I started the Project 333 challenge. The challenge is to only have 33 items in your closet that that you wear for 3 months. I thought the challenge would be damn near impossible but I picked 33 items and shoved everything to the other side of closet. For 3 months (1 quarter), I wore the same 33 items, mixing and matching … Continue reading Project 333 Recap
