One trick I’ve learned recently to help reframe my mindset is: “What time zone am I living in right now? The past? The future? or the Present?”

To Maia
07.31.19
On May 13, 2019, I became a mother. I will never forget when our baby girl Maia was delivered. What I remember the most vividly was the warmth and softness of her small body as the nurse handed her to me. I remember when Maia came out and her cries sounded like small quiet meows I thought were so cute right off the bat and when she was handed to me, she stopped crying and with her bright eyes wide open, she looked around at her new world. At that moment I was overcome with a rush of overflowing love and joy and just like that, I fell in love.

Yesterday I gave my notice at work. A lot of different factors and events happened that led to this decision — mainly the fact that we moved from LA to San Diego for my husband’s new job, we just had a baby, and on the deepest level, I don’t feel / have never felt called to do that work and we now have the means that I can not work for a while and remove myself from a line of work that’s not right for me.

I read the book Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living by Shauna Niequist a while back and also listened to her Super Soul Sunday podcast interview with Oprah recently and one thing from the podcast has really stuck with me — it’s the reminder that we are already 100% worthy and loved as we are, in each and every moment.

On Courage
05.29.18
I’ve been really thinking a lot lately about COURAGE and trying to be more courageous in my own life. This means being brave enough to make a choice to break free of living absentmindedly and just going through the motions in life. It means having the courage to say no to the things that don’t truly matter. And having the courage to pursue the things that do matter to me, even if it goes against society’s norms, social pressures, or people’s expectations. If you don’t have the courage to take control and direct your own life, other people will gladly take your time and use it for you. Courage means small, small tiny choices sometimes too. Choosing to go to that 6:45 am spin class or having the courage to smile and say hi to a stranger, or whatever small thing it may be. Basically, living TRUE to yourself takes a lot of courage sometimes and I want to remember that. What more could be more important than living true to yourself and your own values? Read More
