    #FridayFeels Sunny & Bright

    Friday = FriYAY! It’s a gorgeous Friday here in SoCal, I’m on the right side of the dirt, and I am genuinely excited to be alive. I woke up this morning to clear, blue skies and cool, calm air. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and though the bed is oh-so-comfy all I want to do is get UP and drink in the day. I want to move my body and stimulate my brain. I want to expand my mind with BIG dreams and fill my heart with overflowing love. I want to LIVE, and I am grateful…

    #FridayFeels Lucky

    So this morning, St. Patrick’s Day, I am facing one of my fears and sitting in the waiting room at the doctors office. Dermatologist, to be exact. Seems that having pale white & freckled Irish skin (or Welsh, or English, depending on which branch of Dad’s family tree I’m following) and growing up in sunny Southern California is more than challenging to the tanned, beach bunny stereotype. Add in growing up in the era of no sunscreen and generous pours of baby oil to sunbathe for hours on end, and it’s generally a pretty good recipe for some skin cancer.…

    #FridayFeels Anything is Possible

    If you’ve known me for more than a minute or have been following me for a while, you know that I am a pretty open and positive person.  Sure, I have my up days and down days because, well, sometimes shitty things happen. I don’t try to hide the times I’m struggling or ignore things about society that bum me out. I believe that honestly sharing the journey is an important part of my story. Some days, however, I feel a stronger sense of that anything is possible optimism and a surge of positivity that I can’t contain.  It comes…

    #FridayFeels: Free!

    What would you do with a free day? Imagine what your day might look like if you suddenly didn’t have to do anything that was previously expected of you. Delicious, right? 24 hours of 100% YOUR CHOICE.  I found myself today with just such an opportunity, and I’m using it to catch up on some of the things I’ve been meaning to do but haven’t carved time out for. It’s barely afternoon and I already feel like I’ve accomplished a week’s worth of stuff. Drop off watch for engraving? Check. Schedule plumbers? Check. Grocery shopping (Amazon Fresh for the win!) –…

    #FridayFeels Thankful

    Sleeping in. Fluffy pillows. Brunch. Leftovers. Naps. Family stories.  Relaxing at Grandma’s house instead of hassling the Black Friday shopping crowd, and thankful to be sitting beside my love today. What are you thankful for?

    #FridayFeels Kind & Compassionate

    My Friday thoughts:  Kindness and Compassion are choices I can make every day. I know that I’m an optimist and an idealist; people have been telling me so my whole life, as though in pointing out the obvious I will somehow change. But why? Who would benefit from my being less than who I am? I want to live in a world where kindness matters. I want to be around people who are quick to show compassion for others and who model goodness regularly. We’ve all seen enough of people being awful to each other. We’re well aware of what…

    #FridayFeels Accomplished 

    On September 1, I started my 30 Day Challenge which included a 10 minute daily walk, daily gratitude journaling, and eliminating certain foods from my daily diet (no sugar, dairy, grains, or alcohol).  Aside from the total of 5 days of planned travel in which I released my food restrictions (4 in NOLA, 1 in Vegas), I was able to stick to my Challenge in all three areas! I’m feeling pretty accomplished and I have to say, pretty darn proud of myself. On this final day of my Challenge, here are my observations: This wasn’t about counting calories or weight…
