Where Do You Prepare?
“Where do you prepare?” . .

Mom Life and Disease
My mom would walk through door around 6-7pm after 12-16 hours of running the fuel company in Brooklyn during the winter… Her “Marie Lucky 17” mirrored keychain and black flats would get left at the door. A drop of the keys. A stomping of her shoes. Her black pea coat though, that would stay on. Some quick hellos. Hi Ma! Hi Ma! She’d walk to the kitchen, put her purse up on the counter + would proceed to just DO. MORE. STUFF. No pause. Stack papers, sweep, a few folds of laundry, grab some dinner ingredients from the fridge, probably …

Quit Sayin’ Those Things
Goals, projects, tasks, moments Life can be as easy (flowing) or as hard (a struggle filled with incessant obstacles) as the thoughts we think, the words we speak. Both are blue prints for our subconscious (our soul, our essence, our true intuitive self) and they essentially create the instruction manual for our body and mind. What do your thoughts say to you?What do your words speak? Listen in. Do you hear phrases like this? 1.”I can’t stand it.” 2.”It’s killing me.” 3.”It makes me sick” 4.”It drives me crazy.” 5.”It’s breaking me.” 6”I CAN’T EVEN.” 7. “This is gonna be …
Living Your Truth
Today I would like to share this with you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEictbQXUGw&feature=youtu.be.. Holistic Coach Meg Burton Tudman reached out to me a few weeks ago with an opportunity to do an interview/chat together. I was ecstatic as I honor and respect Meg’s devoted life work. From this invitation came this unscripted chat that is intended to encourage and empower. In this interview, I explain how if we want to take inspired actions towards a goal or way of life, we must first honestly and truthfully define exactly… What. That. Is. Meg and I discuss the onslaught of fears + distractions that can …

Allow Yourself To Be Different
Allow yourself to experience what it feels like to be different. Not the same as you were. Not what you have always done. Anew. Change the story you have been telling yourself, especially if it keeps you stiff, stuck, unable. Change the story you have been telling others especially if the story keeps you hidden, masked, not fully…you. What do you believe about yourself? Well, then it’s true. What do you want to believe about yourself? Well, then it’s true. Things drastically changed for me once I got really honest with myself. Slow down for a sec. What do you …
Everyday, in every way…
I’m bringing this little ditty back for one of our awesome team members… You know who you are! BUT, I know anyone reading it, can soak it in! “Every day, in every way, I am getting better!” Say it every day, especially when your mind is bogged down with “problems” or negativity. Neutralize those ugly thoughts with this phrase. Give your mind (sub-conscious & conscious) the opportunity to be filled with empowering language. Be filled with the encouragement you to overcome, grow, thrive, LIVE!
