We are human ‘BEings’ not human ‘doings’ or human ‘havings’ yet we live in a Society that so often defines us by what we do and what we have. I Feel empowered when I remember my ability to choose to BE the being behind the doing. To choose what messages I listen to and absorb and choose to ignore the bullshit about the “shoulds of life” that our society and media attempts to ingrain in us.

10 years ago, I trusted my gut and made the 3000 mile move from Boston to San diego to create what has become a life full of gratitude, continuous growth, joy and so much love...what I value most in life. I am so grateful to see how the dots of life have all connected in a miraculous, yet not surprising way.

I’ve been feeling really flat lately, in a low energy funk, for too many reasons to mention- to name a few...I’m 6 weeks pregnant and riding waves of nausea, thyroid imbalances, we are in month 6 of the Covid pandemic which brings a collective anxiety, anger, uneasiness as well as a disconnection from so many we love and the deprivation of our usual social and fun outlets.

For years, I have been working on being compassionate towards myself when I am having undesirable feelings, and there's a reason they call it a “loving kindness practice” I have been noticing a pattern lately- when i am having unwanted feelings of irritability, resentment, sadness or anger my go to is to resist and try to change it.
