thoughts from me to you
The Judgment Detox
Last week I attended a workshop with Gabrielle Bernstein all about judgment, or, more specifically, how to not judge. It was so inspiring and I always love spending (virtual) time in Gabby's presence and learn so much from her. Everyone who attended has committed to a...
Take away your conditions
I almost wasn't going to write a post today, particularly with it being Valentine's Day. There's already way too many posts out there on love, self-love, love love...it's a little overwhelming. However, I wanted to share a little something that's been on my mind this...
On guilt and shame
Guilt and shame are two words that make me die a little inside every time I hear them. I pride myself on my honesty, my integrity, and my loving intention. I do my very best to be objective, kind and loving. It doesn't always work and sometimes I 'see my arse' (that's...

How does it feel to be happy?
Weird question right? How does it feel to be happy?! Obviously I was scrapping the barrel of blog topics this week/ But seriously, if everyone experiences feelings differently, because ultimately everyone's perception is unique, how do we really know what happiness...
What I learned from my first Thanksgiving
What I learned from my first thanksgiving? It's actually not about the meal....it's about sharing moments with strangers, friends and family...sharing love between human beings and making connections that might not have been there before. Oh....and about 24hrs of...
