Recently, I gave a talk at the love. your. life. Weekend retreat in Los Angeles (what a fantastic weekend!), and I shared a simple happiness tool I call the three S’s that I like to use in the morning when I wake up, and any time I need to hit my inner reset button (which lately, I admit, has been quite often! lol). I started doing the three S’s myself each day last year, and it made a huge difference. It’s a major attitude check! Those who know me know that I’m big on simplicity, and nothing gets me inspired more than super simple tools that produce kick-ass results. The…

Holiday Candy for Your Spirit: What to Give YOU This Season
It’s super easy during the holidays to get really caught up in the decorating, shopping, events, parties, cleaning up after the parties, and on and on. It’s also really, really easy to forget to take a breath, take care of ourselves, and slow down enough to enjoy the amazing moments of the season before it whizzes by.

I’m so looking forward to good times and to creating some…
