GET CONNECTION.
I hung out with Brene Brown on the treadmill this morning. She wasn’t actually next to me, but she was in my ears as I listened to her TED Talk on the power of vulnerability and the importance of connection. Connection with others – or companionship – and connection with the world around us – that
LOVE YOUR STORY.
One of the most beautiful things about you is your story, but not enough of us share them. Your story is what makes everything about you so very unique and so necessary in this world. Stories change lives. Stories inspire us to greatness. Your story is not yours to keep, but yours to share,
SWITZERLAND CALLING
Life is happening. Look around you. You are in its midst, and perhaps are letting it pass you by. Or maybe you’re not, you might be cherishing every moment and looking around your daily grind in great wonder — I hope you are, for this is how we all should live. I spent
THE AB ANGUISH ANTIDOTE
Lower-abdominal anguish is possibly the most suffered syndrome by gym-goers and non gym-goers alike. Unfortunately, people give up their lives for perfect lower abs.

KEYS TO START YOUR ENGINE
On Wednesday morning I was a true blond. I rushed my morning, hurriedly packed my lunch, grabbed the keys to my Jetta and beelined it to the garage. Leaping into my car, I put the key into the ignition and my car wouldn’t start. In fact, my key wouldn’t even turn. I panicked, as I
BEAUTIFUL SCALES OF SUCCESS
How do you measure yourself? Is it with a scale, with a mirror, with your clothes, or with your mind? Many of us compare ourselves to others, always looking at the greener grass that we think exists when we are skinnier and richer. We all know that the grass isn’t greener, so why are
1.11.11 MAKE A WISH 1.11.11
There is beauty in a wish. It is a skill that we learn as children and that we can never outgrow, though we sometimes forget about its power. A wish is like a fountain of hope. Whatever it is that you may be wishing for, keep your mind focused on it; the power of
