Laughter & Summer dreams...

Lately, I find that humor is the not only a reflection of intelligence but also a means to survive life. I can't tell you how many times lately that I have broken out in complete laughter when I was at the breaking point of stress. With my busy schedule, sometimes I am spread thin. Imagine this scenario: rough morning, running late, baby daughter decides to take off all her clothes when I am on my way out the door. She looks me in the eye and pees on the carpet. I think, oh my god...this is my life! I can choose to be angry or I can find the beauty that exists in the horrible moments. It goes back to gratitude. If you can remind yourself that every time something bad happens, it could always be worse. Laughter is so cathartic, especially if you are laughing and crying at the same time. Let it out! You can always reach out to your friends if you are struggling.


the ocean is calling my name...

I decided to commit to the daunting task of writing a book because I have completed my physical goal of finishing my half-marathon which was an *amazing* experience. I will continue to train for another event in the future but I am allowing myself to rest a bit. I'd really love to write satire. If I can squeeze a small vacation in and write my heart out this summer, I will be happy. I'm learning to trust again. I'm learning the importance of refining, cleansing and making space for the new. I'm learning how to balance. As we approach June, I am asking you this: what are your summer dreams? Is there anything out of balance that you would like to see straightened out? I would love to hear what you are wanting to create. Let's share.
