Written by blogging contributor, Sonia Sahota. With Fourth of July creeping up right around the corner, the excitement is definitely building. Plans with friends and family (or framily) for some laid back times with hopefully some damn good food and relaxation. And perhaps some bubbly. Considering this long weekend is typically a time for photos and ...
Running on Empty
With so many festivities, summer happenings, and commitments, you can't help but feel you're "running on empty." Juggling the family commitments, time to see friends, work (of course), and the regular "adulting" you must do to get through the day/week, sometimes you just have to breathe. Just Breathe. Take a moment to sit, reflect, and think what ...
And then it’s Summer
All of a sudden the temps shift into summer, and you think - but what about Spring? Summer comes in with a heat wave, a wave of feelings, memories, and adventures to be had. And then you step outside, and think - oh crap it's Hot. The city is sweltering, and every step you take (every ...
Don’t drown
Don't drown in the madness of your daily life. Don't let yourself eat your feelings. Drink your frustrations. Sleep away your sorrow. Don't let yourself become a shell of yourself just going through the motions of your life. It would be a sad, sad, world if we all went through life this way. There are days ...
When Life Hands You Mangos
Mangos. Not lemons. Mangos, because it's sweet, and awesome, and you can make pretty great stuff out of it. And like most situations, you can turn it into something even more positive.

Five reasons to Live a Little More
My couch is glorious. When I come home from a tiring day or week, I am day dreaming of that moment I walk in, pour a glass of wine, and sit my ass down in yoga pants and a sweatshirt. Hulu is on. Lights are dimmed. And my calm sets in. But c'mon. A year from ...
Beyond the Small Talk
Small talk. It's small. It's usually boring. And it's usually a conversation you forget before you started. Unfortunately, it's a necessarily evil at times. At networking events. Parties. And the like. I used to be great at it. I could go to any event, any party, and talk with anyone. I would find a way to get at ...
Facades
I'm the type of person who believes what people say. I typically think, why would that person lie. There's no reason to. So I believe you, her, him, and your mom. I believe that what you say is how you feel, what you want, and how things really happened. I still make this mistake. People put up ...
Friendship.
Written by blogging contributor, Audrea. Life is busy. We all have a million things going on and a million things to do, and as responsibilities pile up, friendships can be put on the back burner. Good, solid friendships need to be maintained in order to flourish and that takes some work. These days it’s so easy ...
