Daily Inspires: The Art of Letting Go
Go with the flow. Let go of fear and your need to control. Relinquish anxiety. Let it slip away, as you dive into the river of the present moment, the river of your life, your place in the universe. Stop trying to force the direction. Try not to swim against the current, unless it is […]
Contemplations: Defining Neurotic.
Someone recently told me I was the most neurotic person they’d ever met. And while I highly doubt that (I am sure there is someone out there worse than me), I wanted to understand more…I wanted to see what the actual definition was, because frankly, I had no idea. I knew that if it pertained […]
Daily Inspires: Attracting Soul Mates.
“Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment, are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.”-Deepak Chopra [via breakfastatmarissas] How true. how true.
Life Observations: Getting Credit
Anyone who knows me, knows this: I make lists. Like lots of lists. Like grocery lists and books I want to read lists, Amazon wish lists, etc. et al…(which is why I love love love the app EverNote, but that’s another blog post). So it will come to no surprise that I have a “life […]
Life Lessons: #540…let.it.be.
I can never let things just be. I was blessed (cursed?) with an over-analytical brain that likes to take something that usually requires no thinking whatsoever and dissect it until A) I am satisfied with understanding the outcome or B) get so wound tight that I jump down the rabbit hole of darkness, only to […]
Film Review: The September Issue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp8iIyKDOtk What it’s like: Behind the scenes of The Devil Wears Prada Why you’d like it: You get to see how an issue of a fashion magazine (Vogue) gets from concept to pages. There’s bickering, lots of longing, pensive looks from Anna Wintour (the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue), just how icy she can be, a […]
Film Review: Bridesmaids
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr0Mk3hjc20 What’s it’s like: The Sweetest Thing meets a milder The Hangover Why you’d like it: It starts off with a very awkward sex scene. It’s got crude jokes about bodily functions and sexual positions, but beneath all that, it actually has a storyline and heart. Why you won’t like it: It starts off […]
Film Review: Forks Over Knives
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=O7ijukNzlUgWhat it’s like: Food, Inc. meets scientific research/pretty graphs meets real life “before” and “afters” Why you’d like it: It gives an interesting perspective and scientific evidence to back up the theory that a plant-based diet (aka vegan-ism) can drastically reduce, if not eradicate, major heart diseases, osteoporosis, cancers and many other afflictions that affect […]
Life Observations: The Pre-Midlife Quandary
There’s this quote on my chalkboard door that reads, “Do more than exist”. Have no idea who wrote it, where it’s from, but I get it. I really do get it. And from the dinner I just had with friends, it seems we’re all starting to “get it”. There was a time in my twenties, […]
