Goal Setting

Obtaining balance is something that we all strive for. We are being propelled forward each day we are on this earth. The question can be asked whether or not we are living each day to our full potential. Every day is a new opportunity to reinvent, recreate and give back. In the spirit of self discovery I would like to encourage you to create goals for yourself and then post them publicly (whether that be in the form of a comment on this blog, your personal blog, a facebook account or simply typed out and displayed on your fireplace mantle).

The reason for posting your goals publicly is to speak to the universe, put it out there. By posting your goals publicly you are also playing into the law of attraction.  The thing you want to make sure you do when you set your goals is to give yourself a due date. If there is not a due date then you do not have to hold yourself accountable. In life being accountable to yourself is the most import responsibility of all.

In addition to goal setting it is helpful to acknowledge these 3 things:

• I am best in the world at...
• I can make money by...
• My biggest passion is...

As well as your core values. Mine are:

1. Passion
2. Creativity
3. Courage

That being said, without any further a du here is my call to the universe:

I am best in the world at...
being passionate about love & life. I effectively communicate and encourage others to realize their potential and achieve their dreams.

I can make money by...
soothing the mind, body and soul while boosting self esteem.

My biggest passion is...
my personal relationships. Life is much more beautiful when shared with those you love.

I have accomplished crows pose without an assist! *I only held it for a few seconds, but I did it! Firefly is picking up! I am set to start guitar lessons the beginning of May. I purchased a scooter (a Vespa in Robbin's egg blue) and am safely commuting to work on it!

Happy goal setting!

Spring Has Sprung!

Spring has sprung! stalled...?

OK, Mother Nature what gives? One day you teases us by raising the temps into the low 70's only to call for snow 3 days later. Monday you gave us the wonderful gift of 80 degrees, promptly followed by hurricane force wind and rain.

Personally I've decided I am ready. Spring is here, it has sprung! I have an overwhelming desire to suck back sangria's while listening to Katy Perry's "California Gurls" (yes,  it has been brought to my attention that for the amount of amazing music I listen to, there is also a very bad side of me that cannot help the impromptu dance parties that bad teenage pop brings).

You say snow? I say sundress! You say showers? I say brings May flowers! The real fun-in-the-sun will have to wait. In the meantime prepare your skin for that flawless sun-kissed, summer glow! Come take a stand and tell Mother Nature that we don't need her to put our best face forward.

Start an all natural fruit enzyme peel series today & finish just in time for summer! Your sun-kissed glow will have never looked so good!

*Remember, although a healthy does of vitamin D is good - always protect & nourish before, during and after sun exposure. Love your skin and your skin will love you back!
