I create experiences that inspire. For twenty years, I’ve combined travel and education into a business that connects fully with others to help them align their purpose, their desires, and their life path in truly transformative ways. These experiences are always meaningful, open-hearted . . . . and sometimes rowdy. 🙂 In the…
I am completely enchanted and, it’s safe to say, undone by the moon. If I or any of my friends are behaving a tad crazily, sensitive or teary, or extra energetic and delighted, it’s the moon, new or full, who gets the blame. We point our fingers in contempt or otherwise clasp our…
“Some days I wish I could go back in life. Not to change anything, but to feel things twice.” ~ Up There are two kinds of airport drop-offs. The first is efficient, the goodbye-I-love-you–be-safe-hug-kiss-and-go drop off. When friends or loved ones help lift bulging bags out of cars, sputter well wishes, and wipe a few…
I distinctly remember hitting the 3-year threshold with my first company, which I co-founded with a business partner in 2011. It was a humid night in Cambodia. I was chatting with one of my managers, ready to kick off our next Leadership Volunteer Program. The streets of Siem Reap offered a chaotic background of…
The lowest point of my Costa Rica Retreat hit me mid-week. Dealing with work-related tech glitches on a hot Wednesday afternoon left me agitated. The humidity and mosquitoes were relentless. The gorgeous bluejays were dive-bombing tables and stealing my food. I needed an energetic and powerful yoga sesh to warrior pose my way into a…
This morning is NOT off to a fresh start like I planned for it to be. Every morning I follow a routine that I know will shift my mind from sleepy confusion into a positive, productive and creative position. Usually this involves the typical feel-good tasks – meditation, gratitude journaling, chewable vitamins, exercise. Ginger…
Life can feel calamitous. Full to capacity. Constrained. Structured and expectant. Rarely do we find ourselves with Nothing to do. It’s not an easy fit within our modern lifestyle of constant doing and frequent going. How often do we allow our precious time to pass without being delegated? We claim our peak experiences, but rarely…
When I think about choices I have made in the past relative to my career, relationship status, or family dynamics, I see patterns. In the big picture, much of my life is a bright, sun-shiney story. Successful, blessed, loved, with rich travel experiences beyond measure: my friendships are solid I live on a gorgeous beach…
The feeling of gratitude has come up in a good handful of different conversations all week. Exactly why gratitude has been such a stand-out topic as of late, I’m not entirely sure. But what I do know is when things show up in numbers, I take it as a sign. To look up, to…
Today was almost a successful day of reaching goals. I intended to wake to good coffee, journal, exercise, work, get a haircut, work some more, and have dinner with friends. Did that happen? Mostly. Exercise didn’t happen because . . . . well, life can’t be calculated so precisely every single day. And today, exercise…
