Living, Laughing, and Loving my way to fit
Nothing makes my heart glad like seeing worthy causes meet and exceed their goals. That is what the Christine B. Foundation Eastern Trek for Cancer has done. The relay starts in Portland, Maine and will take seven days to reach Battery Park, New York City. Each of the thirteen runners will complete seven to twelve miles. This is […]
Visions I’ve been spending a lot of time in my head lately, hyper-focused on next moves in every aspect of my life. Improving everything, being stronger, more fit, making more money, and growing into a better person for my loved ones. And of course for myself. After attending a vision board party, I realized that I […]
2016 is gone, and I get to reflect back on some wonderful moments and accomplishments. My heart has grown over the year, and so has my assertiveness. It could always use work, but I think my overall growth deserves a shout-out. It was a year of loss, and one that brought out the worst in […]
I don’t usually post about our efforts to help those in need. That’s because I don’t need recognition for doing what we all should be doing in one way or another. I find this to be important this holiday season, however, so I’m sharing our Lean on Me dinner from this week. Events like these […]
This week, I brought some friends along for Self-Care Saturday. I awoke at 7:30 and started with a cup of jasmine tea before my 9am pilates class. This was the perfect way to start my day, and it left me energized and focused. Later, I photographed a first birthday party for a friend, and I […]

It’s 9pm, and I’m writing this post with a glass of super Tuscan in hand, legs strewn across my chaise. My new journal is arms-length away, and a Melissa McCarthy movie is on the TV. I am chilling. This is something that’s tough for me. Even on vacation, I tend to go, go, go. I’ve […]
This has been a hot topic for me this week, in all avenues of my life. With shifts at work, in my relationships, and at home, I am anxious about what these new changes will bring. Because of my slight fear of change, at times I have trouble with decision making (my hair color? A […]
This post is long overdue, but I had to sit down and reread one of the best books I’ve read in a while. What makes the book a better read for me is that it was written by my best friend, Dr. Christina Tarantola. Revealing Your Inner Radiance: Healing Through the Heart details her journey […]
On New Year’s Eve of 2014, I was informed that someone abandoned a dog outside of my grandma’s apartment building. Apparently, he was thrown out of a car, and he refused to move from the spot where he was left. Armed with bacon, my uncle Garry and I ventured outside to check out this dog […]
