    February can be quite cold and dreary in DC. If I had to pick a month to skip, it would probably be this one (sorry February lovers)… Fortunately, it’s short, and I’ve learned to “hack” my way through by using the month to clear up inconsistencies in my meditation routine––which supports clear, peaceful, […]

Dr. Julie Lopez is a licensed clinical social worker and the author of Live Empowered!: Rewiring Your Brain’s Implicit Memory, a comprehensive primer on implicit memory—those stored memories we don’t actively recall, but that affect our thoughts and behaviors. I interviewed her about the different types of memories our brains and bodies process, and we […]

We’re off to Bogotá tomorrow. It’s a long story, though the short of it is we are moving my mother-in-law out of Venezuela into Colombia so she can finish her immigration process when the embassy reopens. It’s one of those make it work moments in life…

It was difficult to maintain focus as I found my mind wandering to all sorts of things, though I enjoyed the challenge and the sense of presence it brought me. If you’re interested in going to Sedona, let me know as I have a pretty good lay of the land now.

Not knowing how you’re going to pay your mortgage at the end of the month is frightening in a way you never forget if you experience it. I know that feeling, and while it has been 15 years since I was faced with that reality, sometimes it feels like yesterday.  Running away from that emotional […]

It’s 2021, and you’re looking for new and creative ways to thrive while staying focused on finding fulfillment every day. You know it’s too easy to let your ambition get ahead of enjoying what you’ve created and loving the process. You’re also looking to have a positive impact in the lives of the people you […]

What happened in DC last week was deeply unsettling and is very much on my mind today. I posted my extended thoughts on my personal Facebook page and a shorter version on Instagram. You can also read them here.
