I enjoy video blogs from New York City yoga instructor and author Tara Stiles. She wrote the book Slim Calm Sexy Yoga: 210 Proven Yoga Moves for Mind/Body Bliss and has a great website dedicated to yoga and feeling your best inside and out. I thought you’d enjoy a video from her “Try It Out…

This time of year, I enjoy a few a scary movies with friends and definitely over indulge my sweet tooth. But generally I’ve never made a big fuss about Halloween. It was neutral in my book. I was tempted to not even write about it today, but that said, I recognize that people get really…

I’ve never been to New York City. Wait, that’s not entirely true. I’ve never experienced New York City. You know what I mean: gone to a Broadway play, danced in Central Park, seen the bright lights of Times Square… I’ve driven through New York City. I’ve stopped off at Grand Central Station and walked around…

I can’t lie. It’s been a little stressful lately. As I mentioned before, seasons changing bring about a lot of things to get adjusted to. Some good, some bad and a lot that is still to be determined. And I’m not the only one. I know of a few people right now getting use to…

As a pre-teen I absorbed The Baby-Sitters Club and Sweet Valley High. In college, I found feisty kindred spirits in Zora Neale Hurston and Dorothy Parker. These days spiritual…

Everybody wants a hero – you know, someone to swoop in and save the day. That’s why hero stories are so popular. That’s why no Hollywood movie or bestselling novel is complete without one. There always needs to be someone who will rise against adversity, slay the dragon, and get the girl. We need heroes…

Ladies, did you know that you’ve been lying to the most important person in your life — you? It’s true! Every time you tell yourself you’re not good enough or pretty enough, you’ve believed a harmful myth. I am loving a new book that came across my desk, Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselves. So…

A few months ago on Twitter, people were completing this sentence: “Dear Younger Self, ________.” Essentially, it’s a letter from you to the you from years ago. When I encountered the question, it got me thinking. Wow, so much I would want to tell the younger me — especially myself from junior high and high…
