A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR CHILDHOOD SELF

a-conversation-with-your-childhood-self

The holidays are an incredibly special time for a multitude of reasons; one of which is serving as a catalyst for self-reflection. Chalk it up to family togetherness, the spirit of giving, or even Christmas magic; but something about this season makes you stop and think.For me, Thanksgiving and Christmas go hand-in-hand with nights spent curled up in my childhood bedroom, surrounded by my most special treasures from my youth. And naturally, that leads me to think quite a lot about where I started vs. the woman I’ve become today.I can openly admit that…

You throw like a girl. You run like a girl. You hit like a girl. You cry like a girl.If you ever spent any time on a grade school playground, odds are someone has said one of these statements to you at some point. Granted, it’s usually uttered in jest as sort of a “hey, bro!” insult, but telling someone you do something like a girl has always rubbed me the wrong way. I’m not a fan of the insinuation that doing something like a girl means you are less than: less than capable, less than strong…

I THINK I K(AFT)AN, I THINK I K(AFT)AN

There’s a lot we can learn from The Little Engine That Could. The saying goes, “I think I can. I think I can,” doesn’t it? He thought he could. So he did. And that my friends, is called manifesting abundance.I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about an abundant mindset; about the value of positivity and about what we put out into the universe through our own thoughts. In life, it’s up to us to either see the world as abundant or limited; as glass half full or glass half empty. And I have a…

WHAT I’M READING: WAKE UP TO THE JOY OF YOU

Last month when I attended W.E.L.L. Summit Boston (more on that here), I had the pleasure of meeting Agapi Stassinopoulos, best-selling author and motivational speaker who inspires audiences around the world. Having now sat through one of her keynote addresses, I can officially bear witness to this truth. Agapi’s energy is warm and captivating and motivating and emotional. Her words burrow directly into the depths of your soul like a ray of sunshine melting any remnant of a bad mood or thought that’s ever crossed your mind. She tells it like it is while…

JUST SAY NO

I was in a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru the other day, waiting for my medium cold brew coffee with a light splash of cream, when I had an epiphany. And it involved the “N” word.Cards on the table- this is not the “N” word you’re probably thinking of. This epiphany involved a simple word. One that many of us learn to say in the first year of our lives. Two little letters that have a profound effect on the nature of our days, on how we express our wants and needs, and on how we react to situations…

BOSTON BLOGGERS CELEBRATE WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH

Did you know the month of March is earmarked as Women’s History Month? A whole month dedicated to women is obviously a giant “Heck, yes!” for me. Now, I realize that at this point there’s a national day or month for pretty much everything (not joking- National Grilled Cheese Day was a few weeks ago. How is that even a thing?!), but this is one national “something or other” I was not going to let pass by. So, in keeping with the spirit of all things Wear You Are Now #ladytribe, I organized a group shoot with some…
