MIND. BODY. SOUL.
How often do we settle into a conversation and not truly listen to the other person? More times than not, people sit there - "listening" - in order to say what they want to say vs. truly respond in an honest and candid manner to what was said to them. I get it....some conversations are BS. ...
14 years later. Year 1 - 4 College. It began here. The first four years were at Simmons College. I moved into Boston a naive, eager, and excited 18 year old. I made some lasting friendships with friends who I lived and shared my academic years with. Being a Physics major - was no easy feat. One ...
No, I'm not about to recite the lyrics to Taylor Swift's hit song, but she did have something there. Sometimes, we just have to: "shake it off." A good friend once told me that she was looking forward to seeing the lemonade I made. It took me a while to realize that she knew I'd overcome the ...
They say things comes in 3s...sometimes it's 4, 5, and 6. Sometimes, shit just hits the fan. You look around, up, down, and around again. What just happened? Why? Confusion.

This week I would like to continue on our path of internal beauty. This post idea came to me in a conversation I had with a dear friend this morning. While I have not known this friend for very long, I feel a connection with them. Often there is connection through pain and shared experiences ...
Turning 30 was a big number. I remember thinking, No. Just No. My friend Julia Roy, said she would wear black on her birthday in mourning of the horrific number. But why do we fear 30? As much as I feared that age, I actually fear 35 more. Why? Because: I'm afraid I won't have accomplished everything ...
My sister (real flesh and blood) is a pain in my butt. But who's isn't right? She talks through a whole movie, she posts bad pictures of me as a child, she has a habit of being late, and I always have to remind her to do things when she forgets (yet again). BUT, then ...
