    Minimalism: Making Room for More

    Some of the best conversations I have ever had have been with strangers and acquaintances. Just the other day, I stopped and chatted with a gentleman about my biggest goal for this year, because he asked me “what do you plan to accomplish in 2017?” I told him I wanted to live with less. Less…

    Sweet Breakfast Pizza

    From a food perspective, I have grown so much this past year. It’s never anything I expected. In fact, I think it has simply been a by-product of something greater: my journey of self love. Food is such a huge part of that. I believe that what we eat reflects how we feel about ourselves.…

    When I first started my fitness journey, my main motivation was this idea that I was going to get me some washboard abs. I mean, lets get real – no newbie walks into the gym without an ideal in mind. Habits don’t change just because – habits change because a fire has been lit under…

  • “Instagram is Life Porn”

    I think we are all becoming more aware about the ways in which social media can be used for good, or for evil. This article discusses just that.

    How to just ‘BE HAPPY’ for them

    Imagine this: Your friend comes up to you and tells you about their incredible promotion. Your friend is not only smart, but also super good looking.

  • But I’m happy. That’s all that matters.

    But I’m happy. That’s all that matters.

    Money. Cars. Kids. Business Owner. Health. Knowledge. Travel. Relaxation. We all desire different things out of life. Some things are higher up on the list than others. At the top of my list is health, freedom, and enjoying the moment. Many see their success as power, or money, or travel. No one is wrong, we…
