Our Body Knows



Have you ever just had that feeling where you know you need to stop but you just keep going? You can hear your body screaming at you but you've decided to ignore that little voice? What usually ends up happening? Do you get sick, run down, angry, agitated, short fused? Our body knows when it's time for us to stop and take a break but we don't always listen, and then we pay the price for it.

The Power of Dreams



Hey you, I just wanted to take a moment to remind you of the power you have right in between your ears. The power that your dreams hold are so much more than we can even fathom but I'll do my best to spell it out for you here.

The Dream BIG Series: because anything's possible



Have you ever experienced those nights where you keep almost falling asleep but then inspiration hits, then again, and again, and again! Part of me wanted to sleep but the other part was so inspired I had to write it all down.

As I was drifting off to sleep the other night I had an idea pop into my head; "what if I did random acts of kindness and video taped them for YouTube? I bet that would inspire a lot of people! And then they would go out and do random acts of kindness too!" Since I'm all about inspiring happiness and also love watching people achieve their dreams it seemed simply perfect.

I'm proud to announce my next big adventure:

Are You Connected?



I'm not talking cell phone loving, wifi surfing, instagram tweeting, facebook liking kind of connected. The connected that I'm talking about is the personal kind, the one where you actually look someone in the eyes for more than a second and don't turn away with awkwardness.

When's the last time you had an in depth conversation with someone and were able to keep complete eye contact through most of it? Are you the one who finds it super awkward to look at someone in the eye for more than a few seconds without looking away? Why is that? What is it about just looking someone in the eyes that makes you feel so nervous inside?

Anything's Possible When You Dream



Have you ever had what I like to refer to as a "movie moment?" It's that moment in the movie when everything comes together right near the end, or as most refer to as the climax of the film. All the characters just suffered what looked like a devastating loss and hit their lowest low. Maybe the girl didn't show up, or the family member didn't pull through, or the kiss went to another woman. It leaves you feeling so low and broken. You sympathies with the person on screen because the brain doesn't process whether it's real or not, it only processes what is happening. In that moment the person your watching just had their heart broken and the majority of us have experienced this exact same pain they are going through. But just then, against all odds, that same girl emerges from around the corner just as he was about to leave and your heart skips a beat. The family member's heart monitor sends a blip, then another, and another and you can feel tingling sensations surging all through your body and a smile emerges across your face. Or the guy pulls away from the girl and yells at her asking what the hell she thinks she's doing and that he's head over heels, to the moon and back, in love the lead actress, not her and your eyes begin to tear up.
