13 hours into my 15 hour flight to Hong Kong, my stomach started hurting. I knew I shouldn’t have eaten the airplane dinner with the questionable sauce! I guzzled Sprite and mint Mentos and tried to watch a movie. Gravity started making me dizzy so I changed to Cloudy With Chance of Meatballs 2. (15 hours is a – Read More –

MINDFULNESS HEALS
Before leaving for the gym today, I decided to grab my Jan 2014 copy of Prevention magazine on impulse. [I’m not so good at reading all of the magazines I subscribe to…I’m resolving to go through ‘the pile’ and give away issues after I read them! haha…but I’m really glad I grabbed this one today.] I read – Read More –
NEW BEGINNINGS
Time is a man-made creation… But it serves as a good reminder of how we can always make a new start. Every new year is a new chapter… Every new day, a new start… Every moment, a new beginning. Joy is found in enjoying each moment… For we are all truly blessed to have another – Read More –
THE WIND WILL SHOW ITS KINDNESS
A man born blind can easily deny the magnificence of a vast landscape. He can easily deny all the wonders that he cannot touch, smell, taste, or hear. But one day the wind will show its kindness and remove the tiny patches that cover your eyes, and you will see God more clearly than you – Read More –
ALL ABOUT CONTENTMENT

This morning, a friend shared a phenomenal video that was simply beautiful and really helps to redefine the entire concept of what is considered beautiful (you can watch it here. I would only suggest that instead of the title, “Because Who Is Perfect?”, I would suggest, – Read More –
THE LAST TEN POUNDS
I saw this ad from the 1950’s a few weeks ago. Since then I’ve been writing a post in my mind about it. There are so many directions I could take this…how body image is dictated so much by media….how women have for so long been sexualized in the media (especially in America)…how many women – Read More –
LIVING IN HEAVEN
This morning I was inspired by this beautiful photo and reminded that each day we have an opportunity to live in the peace of Heaven…while on Earth. This happens through our thoughts and how we choose to experience our inner and outer worlds. Natural beauty is all around us to serve as a reminder of – Read More –
CREATING STORMS
Recently, I was introduced to the experiments of Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto. His work postulates human consciousness has an effect on the molecular structure of water. Emoto conducted experiments by exposing water to both positive and negative influences (or simply taping words with positive, negative connotation to the container of water), and observing the crystalized form. Photographs – Read More –
TRYING ON CLOTHES
What if the Spirit (oneness) is just trying on ‘clothes’ (in the form of bodies) all at the same time? Along these same lines, to be attached to what happens with the body is like becoming fixated with a drop of ink on a shirt… Just something to think about ;) Photo source: duality – Read More –
RENEWAL
Today is my sister’s birthday and I’m so happy/blessed/fortunate to be with her to celebrate this weekend! Though we live in different states and talk all of the time, nothing is quite like being able to hang out with her and laugh until we start crying haha (The fun is especially out of control when – Read More –
