Inspiration to help make life a little ligther & lovelier
Hello & Welcome!
I'm obsessed with finding ways to make my life be the best it can possibly be. I'm a bit of a self-help enthusiast. I'm a perpetual life-long learner. I'm wanderlust. I start and stop yoga/pilates/tai chi every other month. I can advise on self-care for days but usually forget to partake myself. I have multiple college degrees and professional certifications because I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. I have no end goal in mind. I just love the meandering journey in pursuit of the good life.
I've created this website for two reasons -
1) I want a place to park all those "OMG - that is life-changing advice" books, articles, practices, etc.
2) I want to share ALL the insight and goodness I've picked up along the way.
Disclaimer - I always wanted a place to go where I could just feel better, no matter what was bothering me. I just wanted to go to some website, bookstore, all-knowing sage and search how to feel better about whatever situation I was faced with. Maybe this website will be what I was looking for.

Artist, Speaker, Teacher, Author
WAY back in the early 2000s I stumbled upon this colorful, beautiful book called Succulent Wild Woman by SARK. I was smitten as once. I found her website and felt like I had found a place I could go to for comfort. I'm not sure which I love more; her words or her art! She's splendid.
OPRAH
No intro needed. A living legend that has changed millions of lives. I love her, I love her, I love her!
Deepak Chopra
Author, Doctor, Spiritual Teacher
The first time my daughter heard me listeing to an audio reading of one of his books, she said - "Mom, is that God talking?" While I'm fully aware Deepak is not Good, anytime I listen to/read/come across Deepak I feel I am in instant communion with God. Deepak speaks to my soul.
