A New Way to Measure Success
A photo I took of a quiet little canal in Amsterdam. It's a fresh new week full of possibilities and opportunities! I hope you take every chance you get this week to grow, excel and step a little closer to your wholeness! I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we measure our lives...and what I have found, true success, I feel, is measured in personal fulfillment and connection. It's measured in our ability to lives our lives from true alignment, and how well we uphold that

Sunday Soul Food | Reflections for the Soul The Place Where Quiet Finds Me
My quiet little breakfast table, overlooking a rice field in Ubud, Bali. Good Sunday morning to you my friend, thank you for being here. As the morning patiently waits outside my door this morning while I gather myself and make my favorite warm brew, I’ve noticed something about... the quiet. It never comes looking for me when my calendar is full or when I've been busy with household chores. It waits. Patiently, fervently until I surrender to it...and it's there every single

The Magic of Morocco | Chefchaouen What Morocco Taught Me About Home
There is something so special that happens when you step into a place, a culture, that doesn’t bend to your expectations...nor should you expect it to...quite the other way around in my opinion as a traveler. Morocco was extraordinary in its own way... everything it had to offer, and the space it put me in while I was there! When I arrived in Chefchaouen after a 2.5 hour drive from Tangier, my coffee in hand and some really cool sights along the way, I was ready to wander on

The Blue Pearl | Chefchaouen, Morocco
Some places ask you to hurry. Chefchaouen gently teaches you how to slow down. Tucked quietly into the Rif Mountains, this little Moroccan town feels as though it was painted from a dream. Every winding alley, weathered doorway, and sunlit staircase is washed in shades of blue...from soft sky hues to deep indigo and it is so inspiring to wander through! There are many stories about why the city is blue but the locals will tell you that the color was introduced by Jewish refug

Why Clarity Changes Everything
Happy Tuesday, friends. I hope your week is off to a good start. I’m sitting here this morning with my coffee, thinking about how often we make life harder than it needs to be. Why is that? Perhaps because we often approach life as if it were a problem to solve instead of a lovely experience to have. Have you ever noticed that sometimes the harder we try to figure things out, the more confused we become? I know I’ve been there, and this is how sometimes, that effort can build

Why I Said Yes to a Solo Backpacking Trip Through Morocco- Part 1 | Tangier
My Morocco Diaries: Why I Said Yes to This Adventure There are moments in life when something inside of you quietly whispers, Go...and for me at least, that's when I know spirit is moving through me. Something truly incredible happens when you travel to foreign places and have no choice but to surrender fully to the moment, to your surroundings and everything around you... and honestly, nothing makes me feel more alive than that! I began having dreams that I was there, and wh

Cultivating Presence Power: Transforming Your Life from the Inside Out
We spend so much of our lives somewhere else. Thinking about tomorrow. Replaying yesterday. Waiting for the next season, the next accomplishment, the next answer, or the next chapter to begin. Yet life itself only exists right here, in the present moment. Not in the future we imagine. Not in the past we revisit. But in this moment. Presence is more than simply paying attention. It is deepening your awareness and connection, in the wake state, cultivating the ability to fully

The Power of Stillness: How Silence Expands You Into Your Highest Self
We live in a world that celebrates constant movement. More productivity. More information. More striving. More noise. We are taught that growth comes through doing, pushing and achieving. But some of the most profound transformations I have experienced in my own life and witnessed in others, have come not from striving, but from stillness. Stillness is often misunderstood. Many people think stillness means doing nothing. They imagine it as passivity or inactivity. But true st

The Greatest Battle You’ll Ever Fight
Most people think the greatest battles in life happen outside of themselves, in circumstances as they arise and shift. They believe the struggle is against difficult circumstances, challenging relationships, financial hardship, illness, competition, or adversity. While those battles are real, they are not the deepest battle we face. The greatest battle you will ever face is the one within yourself. It is the battle between who you are today and who you are capable of becoming
