On Protecting Your Energy…
Lately I’ve been making an effort to be very mindful about protecting my energy. So I thought I’d share a few thoughts about how you can tap into higher levels of protecting your energy. This is especially important when you have a lot happening and have to be careful not to become depleted (which is so me right now). It takes practice, but learning to gracefully say no to things in advance that you know will drain you or that you know you can’t give 100% to is an art that is so worth the effort. Raise your standards. Be highly selective with where you spend your precious energy. Edit…

Three P’s You Need to Create a Magical Life
There’s a word that most people would very much like to use when describing their life – magical. Something about that word just seems to say so much. For me, it’s a word that sparks so much feeling and vision. What exactly is a magical life and how do we begin creating one? I like to think of a magical life as a life filled with wonder, intention, love, compassion, and amazing experiences. A life filled with beauty and adventure on your own terms – that you create no matter your budget – whether that’s camping (or glamping!) in the woods, spending ample quality time with friends, or enjoying the…

There are, however, a select few favorites that have lead me to major “aha” moments and continue to offer me strong guidance in my everyday life. So, I thought I’d share 5 powerful life quotes here that have been huge…
