There's a look that's been haunting me lately. Actually, it's more than a visual thing, I see it and I feel it. I ask someone how they're doing and I can see the tension in their faces. Even when their words say they're okay, their reactions and the energy surrounding them tell a different story. I'm sympathetic because I recognize that look in myself. I've gotten used to that look. In the past, I convinced myself that it's the price you pay for what you have and where you are...

If you’ve ever wanted anything, you know what it’s like to have faith and you know what it’s like to lose faith. Having faith isn’t the problem, keeping the faith is where most of us get challenged. Here’s a quick dose of inspiration to help you keep the faith.
Everything that has a beginning has an end. Life will always throw challenges at us but we can take comfort in knowing that nothing lasts forever. If it has a beginning, it also has an end. Whatever you’re going through right now has an expiration date. It will end.
Embracing this one thought will strengthen you. It will transform you. It will free you.
One of the most poignant lessons I've learned is that the more you dare to walk your path, the more you dream bigger, to step outside of the norm, to use your gifts and thrive; the more you are vulnerable... the more you become exposed to other people's criticisms and opinions...

The next time you utter the words “I AM”…take a pause and feel, not think your way around what that really means. So many of us are trapped in the identities the world has created and we’ve accepted. It’s time to wake up and remember.
I was recently speaking to a dear friend who's in limbo about what's next in her life. She's often spoken about her dream of launching her own product/business but every day, I watch as she goes to work, comes home, hangs out and does it all again the next day. I watch as she shows up for other people and other activities, I watch as she chooses everything but her dream. Every time we talk about the obstacles around starting this business, from the financial commitment to not having enough time or the right contacts, my answer is the same to her ―"you don't want it badly enough".

Technically, he's a drunk. He loves 3AM to 5 AM strolls and when he strolls down my street, he really enjoys yelling profanities and racist slurs. Based on his 4AM "TED Talk" a few weeks ago, he is blonde hair and blue eyed, Donald Trump is his president and he hates black people. It's not the first time that this man has made an appearance over the past few years. The cops have been called many times, he comes back and then after a while, he disappears...

When we’re young, we dream about the future, when we’re old, we dream about the past. In our pursuit of everything but the present moment, we miss out on the beauty of what is. It’s time to start paying attention.
I recently had the privilege of hiking up to the El Chorro waterfalls, located above the town of Girón, just outside of Cuenca, Ecuador. There's nothing like standing under 1500ft of pure power to wake you up and out of your daily slumber. As the cascading water crashed down on the rocks that formed the mountains around me, my heart sped up. There was a lot of noise but all I heard was silence. All I felt was absolute joy...
