A few friends and I recently decided to explore the Tile Festival in Bucks County. I love visiting unique events like this one — it is a nice change of pace from the usual coffee dates 😉 I didn’t expect how much personal reflection and revelations this festival would spark though. Each vender had such…

Disconnecting
Sometimes you need to get away from your everyday surroundings to gain a bit more clarity. I spent this past weekend up in the mountains with some friends, and had one of those clarity moments. We sunbathed by the water (maybe got a little burnt), practiced yoga, explored the lake, played wiffle ball, kicked around a soccer…
The Importance of Sleep
When your calendar is jam packed and your to-do list is running onto the fifth page, sleep can feel like an irritating necessity.

The most valuable thing I’ve learned through this process is simple: start small. I have big goals (like eat healthier and get in better shape) that can seem overwhelming –so overwhelming that…
5 AM Challenge
A few weeks ago I challenged myself to wake up at 5 am for two weeks after reading Jeff Sander’s The 5 AM Miracle. For a long time, I’ve wanted to wake up early, but was never able to get myself out of bed. In his ebook, Jeff challenges readers to take “The 14-Day Domination…
After A Year Of Yoga
Recently, I’ve been asked a few times how long I have been practicing yoga. My answer? Oh, about a year. When I stop and think about my answer, I can’t believe it’s been that long. Before I started practicing yoga, I had never really given it much though — and I was definitely a bit skeptical….
