I have spent way too much of my time in this life comparing myself to others. I have always been what Liz Gilbert calls a “hummingbird” or what I heard another speaker call a “multipotentialite.” I develop an interest in something, dive in gung-ho and then within what seems like a short amount of time … Continue reading And then one day…. I woke up.

Getting a Masters in LIFE…
As part of my saying “yes” to life plan, it’s been quite the experience just going for it whenever the chance arises. It brought up something inside me though, and I started to consider what things I really wanted to learn, what skills I wanted to develop if it were up to me and not … Continue reading Getting a Masters in LIFE…
Owning my imperfection
I was watching Pride and Prejudice the other day and the part where Elizabeth asks Mr. Darcy if he thinks pride is a fault or a virtue really stuck out to me. He responds that he cannot say and this got me thinking about the subject of pride and whether it has helped me or … Continue reading Owning my imperfection
Forgetting the past…
I’ve been pondering and writing a great deal about letting go and recently I was sent an email that asked the question “what if you forgot everything that happened?” Basically asking how our lives would be different if we could just forget all the stuff that’s happened to us over the years: the heartbreaks, the … Continue reading Forgetting the past…
Solo Vacations, revisited.
I’m sitting in the airport thinking about how much I’ve changed in these past couple years. Oddly enough, what I am realizing is that I haven’t changed really at all- I've finally quit faking it. Over the years I have spent way too much time and energy trying to do the "right" thing, say the … Continue reading Solo Vacations, revisited.
Saying “yes” to life…and solo vacations
As you read this, I’m doing one of a few things: just crawling out of bed without an alarm, sitting on my balcony reading a book, watching the waves crash and listening to the birds, or lying on the beach meditating to the sounds of the ocean. I am on vacation. Every year for the … Continue reading Saying “yes” to life…and solo vacations
The beauty in the breakdowns…
I’m the kind of person who has spent a lifetime avoiding emotions, without even realizing it. I’m the girl that, up until recently, most of my closest friends had never seen cry. Friends I’ve known for over 20 years may have only seen me cry once and that was a source of pride that I … Continue reading The beauty in the breakdowns…
Taking my life back…by letting go.
I recently took my self-discovery journey one step further from saying “yes” to “taking it back”. I’ve come to realize that it is an amazing thing to say “yes” to opportunities that arise, and even more to say “yes” to learning more about yourself. I have questioned so many statements and beliefs that I have … Continue reading Taking my life back…by letting go.
Saying “yes” to life…by taking it back.
I have fallen victim to myself. This journey that I have decided to undertake- saying “yes” to life- has turned out to be a constant discovery of all the ways in which I sabotage myself on a regular basis. And maybe not even sabotage, but the ways I stifle myself and keep joy out of … Continue reading Saying “yes” to life…by taking it back.
The Stories We Create
While I’ve been on this journey of self-discovery and re-evaluation of statements, one thing has come to the forefront repeatedly and that is the creation of justification stories. What I have learned about myself and others in this process is that so often when we feel we can’t have the thing we really want for … Continue reading The Stories We Create
