Recently I was described as "fearless", "fierce" and when someone asked me to pick a word for a mantra, I chose "dragon." These may all seem a bit out there, especially when we normally look for words like kind, caring, and radiate (my regular mantra word), but at the time, the word fit. The year of ...
How will you react?
Unfortunately, when I sit and observe (which I do often)...not because I'm quiet or have nothing to say, but it allows me to gain a perspective on the room, and who people are first. I realize sometimes (trying not to generalize here), people relate the conversation at hand told by the other person too much ...
Good Vibes all Around…
It may be a saying we find on t-shirts, mugs, and other merch all around us nowadays, along with other similar mantras, but can you really say anything negative about having "good vibes" in your life and surrounding yourself with it? Who doesn't want that? What's considered a good vibe? Usually an energy that comes off ...
Don’t let the past rule your future
The problem many of us have is that we compare our past to our present, and what our future may hold. Yes, it's great to learn from our past, but it shouldn't dictate what we do and how we evaluate things going forward in every respect. So what makes sense and doesn't? Learn from the ...
Winter doesn’t mean the work stops…

It sucks our energy, and part of ourselves each day. But how much is enough? And ...
Commuting and Traveling for work, just got better…
...whether you commute by car, train, bus or walk - travel for work by train, plane or otherwise, having some music to keep us company is a must. It gets us jazzed, helps our mood be more upbeat, and allows to get motivated and rejuvenated for the things to come. Here's one for the commuters and ...
why you shouldn’t regret anything
Why are regrets such a pain...? Regrets take up time and toxic energy. They make us self doubt and self blame ourselves for things that are no longer ours to control. They're already in the past. It's time to move on. Regrets consume us, and take us away from priorities and better times that could bring us ...
Jumpstart your morning
Written by contributing blogger Sonia Sahota. ..How is it already Monday morning? Last I knew, it was Saturday afternoon and I was cuddling up with a warm blanket and my favorite show The Resident. I blinked — suddenly my alarm went off, I ripped the blankets off, jumped out of bed and rushed to get ready. ...
A bit more Fall up in here…
September, October, and holy crap it's November. But the fall feeling has got me feeling the crisp air, loving my pumpkin everything (literally), and of course the ability to wear my layers, denim and booties again. So of course, we had to make a playlist to go along with our jumping in leaves and going ...
