Run Your (Spiritual) Race

Earlier this year I ran my second marathon. If you are wondering how far that is, just picture yourself taking the scenic route from Coral Gables to Homestead. It is a little over 26 miles. This wonderful adventure I signed up for took place in Walt Disney World, where every mile is promised to be… Continue reading Run Your (Spiritual) Race

Just the Beginning

How many times have you wrestled with your purpose? Sometimes I wonder if we spend more time questioning our purpose, rather than taking action. Am I alone here? Every now and then I start to doubt where I’m at in life. This year I am turning 30 at the end of December, and boy have… Continue reading Just the Beginning

Was it Worth It?

A moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips. We’ve heard the phrase before. Especially when our gym partner slaps a donut from our hand. I’m not here to talk about diets, though.

It… Continue reading Stirred But Never Changed

A couple weeks ago I was sitting inside a Miami Beach restaurant with some friends over a shared dessert. Let’s call it girl talk. One of the girls brought up the book Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant. The next day I saw the book on the first page of a bookseller’s website.… Continue reading Learn Resilience Before the Trial

Where Did Time Go?

A week ago I published my first blog post in nearly a year. Can you believe we are nearly one-third through 2017? Where did time go? It is insane to think about how quickly time can pass. And also to realize how fast we lose track of why we started. So I have taken the… Continue reading Where Did Time Go?

What My Time Says I Value

Has it happened to you that you're minding your own business, and suddenly a revelation hits you so hard that you never saw it coming? For me, it was this weekend when I started to really think about what I value. Not what I say is important to me, but what my time says is important.… Continue reading What My Time Says I Value
