What is a blog anyway?

Over the years, I have had many people tell me that I needed to start a blog. I just never thought I was interesting enough to write one. I have learned that it isn't me. It is the people that I attract that make the experiences, that are blog-worthy. I always find the most incredible, eccentric kind of people. The kind of people that bring wildly- entertaining experiences to my life; the kind that deserves to be shared. I have also learned that you attract what you are. With that in mind, I may or may not be the most incredible and eccentric kind of person you'll ever add to your experience. I say experience because I believe that life is a journey, but more than that, it is about the experiences along the way. I feel that if you're not fully emersed in life, you're not experiencing it; you are just wondering, like a lost soul. Trust me, I know. Yes, 5 seconds in, and I'm already telling you to trust me, BUT seriously. Sometimes I get caught up in the day-to-day and forget to take 5 for myself. When I have those days, I am just wondering. I try to remember to breathe, get out my yoga mat, and bring peace back to my journey and enjoy the experience. Alright, I feel like I have rambled adequately enough for a first blog post. Which, I might add, has been quite the experience. Ok, bye, bye!

Set Goals That Inspire, Not Overwhelm: Harnessing Breath, Yoga, Functional Nutrition, and Small Steps to Thrive

Set Goals That Inspire, Not Overwhelm: Harnessing Breath, Yoga, Functional Nutrition, and Small Steps to Thrive Every morning, the sun rises—slowly, steadily, and inch by inch. At first, a faint glow appears on the horizon, followed by a single ray of light. Gradually, the sun peeks over the earth, one fragment at a time, until its full brilliance shines. Our goals are much like the sunrise. Progress happens incrementally, with each small step building on the last. These steps, often overlooked, are the micro-goals and habits that create lasting change. I was reminded of this truth during a simple morning routine. While running the track with my daughter before school, I got caught up racing her and a friend. As I pushed forward, I noticed she’d slowed down, walking with her friends. Instead of trying to catch her in one exhausting sprint—something I knew I couldn’t sustain—I focused on a smaller, attainable goal: closing the gap halfway. Little by little, I made progress, eventually c...
