Inner peace comes from being secure in who we are.   It requires forgiveness of everyone, including ourselves. Be generous with this gift.   It requires acceptance that our scars will remain.

This is one of my absolute favorite meals to make. So. Freaking. Good!!!! It’s perfect to help you feel a little festive for Cinco de Mayo, but honestly, this easy to prepare meal can be enjoyed anytime of year! Feel free to get creative with it.

This month in the Make IT Happen Masterclass we’re talking about how to get what you want. I know that I bring this up a lot – but it really is so important (and sooooooo many of us struggle with it). We have to shift our focus from what we don’t want to what we do want. It’s the only …

The start of a new year is filled with the promise of something new – something better. We can all feel the excitement of it in the air. 365 days to be written by this new, best version of you.
