The little things are the big things.

We think the "next thing" is the thing that will make us sleep better, feel better, and get to the place of success that we've been striving for.

But once you get "that thing" that you think is going to make you feel better—there is another "thing" right behind it.

Another want, another desire, another goal, another intention.

And there is nothing wrong with this, aside from when it goes to an unhealthy state of greed.

According to certain belief systems, wanting and desire never go away.

And when we simply make peace with the fact that it’s our nature to want and desire . . .

There's a sort of peace about it all.

It doesn't feel like a bottomless pit that can't ever be filled.

When we accept that once we have our goal/intention/desire complete—there will be others right behind them . . .

It stops feeling like chasing the next dopamine hit and a natural part of who we are—creators.

Wanting is what activates us to create. Desire is what drives us to pursue, to believe, to hope.

The biggest golden nugget to all of this is that if we can realize, in the wanting and desiring of the next thing….

Is that what we already have—the little things, like morning walks before the world wakes up, coffee with your love, hugging your children, food in the fridge, a healthy body, the full moon, the comfort of your bed, bills paid, how your dog/cat makes you laugh . . .

They are actually the big things.

Amid the hustle for the next win, we often forget to cherish the ordinary moments that shape our lives—they are the unsung heroes of our daily existence.

Expressing gratitude for these seemingly mundane elements not only changes our perspective but aligns our energy to the vibration of receiving more to be grateful for.

So, let's embark on a journey of gratitude, celebrating the little things that, as it turns out, might just be the big things we've been seeking all along.

In a world obsessed with grandeur, the true magic often lies in the simplicity of life's everyday treasures.🩵

JUST ONE. This is what came to me last night at

I'm a Harry Potter nerd. I know, it was like forever ago—but I still love the books, the messages, and mostly—the magic. 🦄⁣
Whether you've been with me for a little while or a long while, you know I am also a huge fan of the power of choice.

It's what I lead with in my life. It's what helped me create the biggest shifts in my life. And it's what my book, The 2 Choices was about. 📝

One of the tricks I used over the years to get from a "red-hot mess" to a life of miracles and abundance is by using the 2 choices mantra from my book, The 2 Choices. It goes like this—

Right now, I have 2 choices. One will get me more in alignment with things I desire and the other will move me away from it. This ability to choose is a gift and my source of passion, connection and power.

These 3 sentences changed my life. And it wasn't about going from feeling depressed to elated. In the beginning, it was about going from depressed to better. It was about going from angry to better. It was about making small steps in feeling better feelings and thinking better thoughts until I became a ninja master of those things (ok, maybe not ninja master, but masterful, for sure).

And in becoming masterful with those things (thoughts, feelings, actions. I was in the driver's seat with my energy.

Once you get to the place of being in the driver's seat with how you feel and what you think—that's when the magic begins.

That's when you start getting into the super fun co-creating place with manifesting and miracle creation.

So the message today is this—your choices do make you. Your choices do shape your life. And YOU are the chooser.

Now more than ever, we need to take a good hard look at our choices and decide what choices will help move us forward—personally and as a collective.

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page"—Saint Augustine

I love to travel. I REALY love to travel. ❤️

My first "big" travel experience was to the south of France when I was 16 yrs old.

It was a high school foreign exchange program that was offered through my French class.

When my teacher announced the trip—I couldn't raise my hand fast enough or fill out the forms soon enough.

I spent the entire summer living with a French family in a tiny village in the South of France. The baguettes, fromage, those cute little espadrilles, and the little to no adult supervision : )

It had me. I was a Francophile. 🥐

It changed my life forever and would begin a love affair with France (and traveling overall) that continues today.

Present day, we take 2 trips a year to Europe and spend time in the most amazing places, with amazing friends, having amazing experiences 🥰

What is it about being in a new place, where a different language is spoken, different foods are eaten and different traditions are observed that is so incredible?

I think it can be different things, for different people, but generally, I think traveling has the ability to change us because it—

✦Opens our minds to new things, new foods, new ways of living and new experiences.
✦Helps us to more clearly identify what we like and don't like in life.
✦Helps break down cultural barriers or preconceived stereotypes about different cultures, people or lifestyles.
✦Removes us from our comfort zone which can inspire us in new ways.

When my days are spent doing too much of the same thing, I start to feel like I am living in the Truman show. I get restless about every 3 months and it’s time to GO.

🦋 Traveling gives us the opportunity to see the world more clearly. It can help us to be more understanding, more forgiving and will absolutely test us when it comes to patience. (hello humanity!)

🦋 We can use experiences like this to expand our minds, to help us grow and to see life through a different lens.

Or—to simply relax and recharge. 🧘

And then we get to return home, with a new perspective and appreciation for home. 🥰

I think you reach a point on the personal growth path, where your'e good just chillin in the embodiment phase.

It doesn't mean that you have reached the "sainthood of perfection stage" (😇) but that the searching, the work, the constant exploration isn't the main focus any longer.

I actually don't feel a need to grow or evolve in this season of life.

I'm quite happy in the embody and enjoy phase right now💜

just a reminder that no one gets out of here alive

just a reminder that no one gets out of here alive. 💀

we make this life what we want to . . .

we will be tested.

there will be challenges.

and you can transcend whatever life throws at you.

because you can.

we can stop taking it all so seriously and enjoy it while we are here. be a little goofy and have fun!

I love this passage from Ra about this very topic—

"We take ourselves so seriously, human beings. The not-self is a very serious creature, it really is. Everything upsets it. Everything is important. Everything is “this and that.” It doesn’t know what’s going on. It’s not what we’re here for. It’s not what the nine-centered being is all about. It really isn’t. The nine-centered being is here for consciousness. We’re not here for the survival game. We’re not here for the fear game. We’re not here for all of that. We’re not here to organize ourselves. We’re not here to dominate the planet.

Each and every one of us is here for the possibility of us, nothing else. The serendipity of your existence is the treasure. They come and they go. It’s all about what you do while you’re here. In this incarnation, in this life, the only measurement is awareness. There is no other measurement. There isn’t. It’s not about what you have or where you go, it’s about awareness. It’s only in awareness that you get to see what this is for, how beautiful it is. How amazing. And all of that is rooted in you.

And it doesn’t matter what our costumes are, our crosses are, or our designs. We each have a unique grounding in this world. And we each have a gift. It is our uniqueness, and the expression out of that uniqueness. This is what the promise is, a more interesting world, deeper and deeper and deeper communion. It’s what’s possible."

I know this may be old news to many, but for those

I know this may be old news to many, but for those new to Human Design and the body graph, I wanted to share this info.

Full disclosure (because transparency is 🔥) I am NOT an expert in Human Design, but after being in my own experiment for 10 years and finishing all the foundational courses with IHDS over the last year+, I feel confident that I know enough to guide and support others towards the KEY takeaways.

Human Design is a VERY deep rabbit hole. 🐇

So, I think ultimately you have to decide what you want to do with it . . .

Do you want to use it to know yourself a little better?

Or to change something big in your life?

Or for Business? (as a 1 line, I would suggest someone with BG5 background, but that's me : )

Or just curious what all the hype is about?

Or . . . you don’t love it, think it’s super woo (like astrology, witchcraft or ayahuasca) and are sorta over hearing about it.

I fell into all those categories at one point or another, but for me, understanding more about my design has been a significant piece of my BIGGER LIFE PICTURE puzzle. 🧩

Even though 99% of my life was so, so good— there were a few lingering, stubborn energies that I couldn't seem to shift (mostly around self-worth and trust)

I was able to understand more of the why when I experimented with my design.

And I saw things shift (and stay shifted.) 🎯

So, for me, it’s been clarity, next level work & also a desire to share it with others.

Human Design isn’t something we have to believe in—it’s something we can experiment with, if it floats our boat!
