Grow Yourself: Write Your Future Self a Letter

Have you ever given serious thought to who and where you’ll be, two, five or ten years from now? What will you look like, where will you live, work, and play? Who are the people that will be in your life and what kinds of experiences will you have had at that point? What would [...]

Woman With a Mission

One of the questions I’m always asking myself is, Am I here to fulfill a purpose or am I here to just take up space?  I’d really like to believe that I’m here to do more than just take up space, so much of my adult life has been about gaining clarity about my Truth [...]

Don’t Cry For Me

What’s changed for you since you’ve been here last? Did you hook up with someone new, end a relationship, or get married? Did you get a new job, get fired, or launch a business?

Grow Yourself: Learn CPR & First Aid

Have you ever witnessed someone having a heart attack, choking, or an accident? Did you know what to do, beyond calling 911?

Grow Yourself: Create (Better) To-Do Lists

If there never seems to be enough time to get things done, then perhaps it’s time to rethink your approach to accomplishing them. And if multi-tasking only leaves you with a never ending list of open-ended projects and tasks, then it’s time to let go of the belief that you know how to juggle, and [...]

Trading Places: Relocation Goal, Revisited

My original relocation goal was to be a Reverse Weekender: I’d live within a 2-hour drive to Brooklyn, spending my weekdays creating my art + wellness + farming + self-sufficient homestead and my weekends immersing myself in Brooklyn culture. But the plan wasn’t to do it alone. And now that I am by myself in [...]

Grow Yourself: Say Hello to A Stranger

When was the last time you made purposeful eye contact with someone you didn’t know, smiled, and wished them a good day?   We’re all connected socially, but  disconnected in our interpersonal communications.   We’re comfortable sharing the intimate, the profound, and the who-really-cares-what-you’re-doing-now moments of our lives online, but actual, face-to-face interaction?

Shaping My Minimalist Mindset

I’m sitting here, stuck, again, overwhelmed by this next round of purging.   I haven’t bought anything new in a while, and while I also haven’t brought in much stuff over the past couple of months, I still feel like there’s still so much left to get rid of.   But so far, I’ve:   [...]

Grow Yourself: Wake Up Half an Hour Earlier

There’s something to be said about the hours between 3:30am and 6:30am. The Yogis call it the Amrit Vela, or, the “ambrosial period”. It’s a place that offers you a quiet stillness you may see for the next 15 hours, so it’s a perfect time to create the space for lies ahead. Here are 10 [...]
