Quick update

I lost another 0.6 pounds this week. It was tough! I wanted to eat the world. I am ready for the weekend and a little more rest.

Why is there an octopus on the wedding dance floor?!

Andy Rooney Style Rant starts...now... I've never planned a wedding before.  And I'm growing frustrated daily by reading these blogs from other brides to be who know SO much about these planning details.  It's as if they went to school and got a Masters in Matrimony.   No one who's never been married can claim to know everything! Seriously!  We all have ideas and pin the hell out of what we'd like on our big day on Pinterest but unless you've been there before or are a professional wedding planner- seriously- stop acting like a know it all!  End Rant.  Petty Party over. Trying to build my coaching and speaking business and plan this small wedding has been a super challenge.   As you all know, I worry about everything.  Things are going quite well with things so far.  Got the caterer, invites, location, photographer, last dress fitting is coming up in two weeks. I joked with my fiancé this morning that once t...

Brave New World

I have been pushing myself into new experiences, or challenges that scare me to get past my fears.  I love to perform. But performing on an instrument that I'm not very good at alone has been struggle for me. I realize that I can only get better with practice.  This 7 week Mindfulness and Stress Reduction class that I completed really works!

My stomach was churning, I started to get a migraine, my muscles were spasming.  All the signs of anxiety that I used ...

Here Comes The Sun!

I think I may be dreaming but I believe the sun has finally decided to show it's beautiful sunny face today!   I don't know about you, but not seeing the sun in almost 2 weeks had a profound effect on my mood.   There were a lot of things to celebrate- like me getting hired to be an expert career coach with The Muse, or my awesome radio interview with NGFY Radio or my kicking some serious butt during the Workweek Fitbit challenges with my friends.   All were hollow victories.  The sun was gone.  I was feeling funky and low.  I was trying to pin point why I was feeling this way but rather than fight it.  I just felt into it.   Everything isn't sunshine and peppermints when you're following your dreams.  I needed to take a break and just be.  These weeks of no sunshine- made me very introspective and cavey. (Cavey- It's my word for feeling like a hermit and not wanting to go out and commune with the ...
