As summer travel kicks into high gear, it can be an easy excuse to put our meditation and self-care practices on hold. But I've found it even more important to stick to my practice which can be helpful with reducing jet lag and staying calm during unexpected travel delays. A couple of years ago I wrote "4 Tips for Maintaining [...]
It's no secret that I am a lifetime seeker of all things health, wellness, and spirituality. I've gathered my top picks of books that have and continue to influence my perspective on the mind, body, and spirit connection - just in time for summer.

I recommend any of the following to watch, read, [...]
With Halloween just days away, the increased pacing of the holidays is quickly approaching. This is an ideal time to "fall" into some meditation and mindfulness practices so we can be more present, calm, and grateful when the holidays officially kickoff in less than a month with Thanksgiving. As I always like to share, I’m [...]
