Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. Valentine’s Day isn’t just a holiday for lovers, but it’s a holiday for so many of us to love ourselves too. We’ve read it many times about how the longest and biggest commitment we can have in our lives is the one we have with ourselves. It is so true. Lately this ...
With the holidays just behind us, and the fresh new year, we have to take time to think. Think through what we have, that we are lucky to be where we are, and appreciate how much more we have than so many others. The things to be thankful for: Health - Even if we aren't perfectly healthy. ...
As the new year is upon us it's easy to think...A new year. A fresh bloom and start. A new you. But it's a time to not just make resolutions again, but a time to evaluate how far you've come over the past year, and few years. Perhaps it was a rough and challenging one ...

Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. With less than three months left in the year, it has made me stop and think about how much I am grateful for. As people we don’t always take the time (or have the time) to think about what we’re thankful for. At this moment in my life I am grateful for ...
I'm a nostalgic person and have a tendency to collect things throughout my life. Ticket stubs from baseball games, postcards from getaways, and mugs from unique places.
