Have you ever wondered what it takes to have stress of the bullshit, and more of the "good shit"? The people who put you down, the frustrations of a morning commute, having to actually be an adult and vacuum and clean your apartment, finding time for yourself, and actually getting some sleep? For me it's the ...
what about the moment?
Have you ever been out to lunch and are already thinking of what's happening for dinner? Or thinking of the next weekend when it's only Monday? I know I used to be horrible at this, and still do this time to time...where I leave the moment, and look ahead to upcoming ones. Not a bad ...
How to be Kind Always
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. Kindness towards others is not a hard thing, it’s actually rather simple. Hold a door for someone, help someone with their groceries, buy someone a cup of coffee, read to child. All of these acts are acts of kindness. This month will forever be ingrained in my mind as two years ...
When It’s Not About You
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. I recently had a relative say something to me that hurt. This relative picked at something I love to do in my spare time and in essence made it seem more like a detriment to who I am rather than giving accolades to the things I love to do. I didn’t ...
Have you started your bucket list?
A lot of times when I hear about bucket lists, it's when people are looking to move from their current home/city, or are getting older and want to complete a list of things they always wanted to do. But who says we need to wait until these occasions to have and cross off our bucket ...

They have very little in common, except the potential of alternate realities and lives, and how the outcome of your current life could be so different, just ...
Give yourself a break
Especially those of us who live here in the U.S., work in big cities, and are always on the go (generalizing of course), don't seem to take a minute to just hit pause. We're constantly moving on to the next thing in our day or on our to-do list. Ever think how badly we're burning ...
Alone on Valentine’s Day…Again
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. Don’t let the title of this blog post fool you, there isn’t anything wrong with being alone on Valentine’s Day. Or any day for that matter. Nothing. So why does our culture make it seem like being “alone” as in not in a relationship, not a Mom or Dad make ...
My thirteen reasons to work harder
Do you ever feel like you are too tired to do more? That you just want a break from work and sleep all day? Or that you don't want to look at another screen for a few hours? I know I do. There are days when all I want to do is lay on my ...
Same input, same output
...do you really want to be that hamster who's still running on the same wheel, not really going anywhere? I doubt it, cause I sure as hell don't. I had a spin instructor recently say...if you stay at the same wattage, or don't change something about your method of attack for this stage of the ride, ...
