True love. Wealth and abundance. Health. Success. All the things. We all have wants in life, many of which seem like some unattainable pipe dream, but have you ever truly, honestly thought about your heart's desire? Not just those things that you think will make you happy or make your life easier, but those things…
What makes you happy? What brings you unfathomable joy? For me, it is moments of quiet reflection and solitude, the ocean, walking amongst the Redwoods and soaking in their wisdom, the warm late day sun on my face and the soft breeze tousling my hair. Happiness to me lies in eating a meal that is…
I have always loved the phrase "joie de vivre." Loved hearing it, loved saying it, and it is probably the closest I will ever get to speaking French. It's a phrase that was probably used more in the 1940's and 1950's than present day, but it's meaning is timeless: the keen or buoyant enjoyment of…

If you are fortunate enough to live where hummingbirds thrive, let their presence remind you of the love, joy and playfulness in your own life. "Legends say that hummingbirds float free…

The moments before the sun rises are my favorite of the day. As I write this, the orange glow of the new day is slowly making itself seen over the horizon, bringing new light to the deep blue early morning sky. The air is crisp, with only a hint of a breeze to greet the…
