Remember when you had the flutter of anticipation and excitement. The newness of it all. You can't help but smile like a kid in a candy store. Damn, that was a great time. But now it's over. It's buried and perhaps it should stay there. What's the usefulness of dredging up old memories that lead us to ...
Do we expect too much?
I know, especially over the last decade, I've gotten quite used to the perks of having everything at my fingertips, and purchasing things and having it delivered in days to even hours. Want the macarons you had the other night? Done - see you in an hour. Too sick to get out of bed to ...
your strength is more than you realize
Have you ever been in the office, or home in bed, or commuting on the subway thinking, this is too hard? You're overwhelmed, stressed, you feel like you've taken on too much, and you don't know how to balance your life and do it all. You've reached the tipping point...it's like a seesaw when you're ...
How to let go of the bullshit
Have you ever wondered what it takes to have stress of the bullshit, and more of the "good shit"? The people who put you down, the frustrations of a morning commute, having to actually be an adult and vacuum and clean your apartment, finding time for yourself, and actually getting some sleep? For me it's the ...
How to be Kind Always
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. Kindness towards others is not a hard thing, it’s actually rather simple.

the fear of losing it all
Have you ever gotten something you'd been working hard for or something you'd been dreaming about? Perhaps it's a dream job, or perhaps it's the perfect significant other, or perhaps it's the house or car you've been saving for. It's an awesome feeling and you can't help but feel like you're on cloud 9. You ...
Have you started your bucket list?
A lot of times when I hear about bucket lists, it's when people are looking to move from their current home/city, or are getting older and want to complete a list of things they always wanted to do. But who says we need to wait until these occasions to have and cross off our bucket ...
Give yourself a break
Especially those of us who live here in the U.S., work in big cities, and are always on the go (generalizing of course), don't seem to take a minute to just hit pause. We're constantly moving on to the next thing in our day or on our to-do list. Ever think how badly we're burning ...
What is self love?
People define self love in a few different ways. For some it's about the bath and glass of wine at the end of a rough day. For others it's about grinding at the gym or popping on a great movie to unwind and forget the world for a minute. But is that enough? I definitely appreciate ...
The Legacy of Giving
Written by contributing blogger, Daniela Forte. A few weeks ago, a great-aunt of mine passed away. She had been ill for quite some time, it was expected that at any moment, she would pass away. What we didn’t expect however, is how much of her life would have an impact on the family. In the last few ...
