A car is an extension of your identity. It represents who you are both internally but also externally to the outside world. Growing up around cars, I very much adopted a inner race car drive persona.

You can always tell when girl is going through change when she changes her h...

A girls night out wouldn't be complete without some dancing.

I had developed meaningful friendships and shared both laughter and tears with them. Salsa night was a must for some good fun and a reminder that dancing is my therapy and h...

Sometimes the best romantic stories are the ones that catch you off guard. The serendipity moments of being in the right place and right time with the most open heart to your environmental experiences.

The healing journey isn't always what it seems. It can be messy and bring up all sorts of emotions. If we got to hard on the healing activities and regret to give ourselves space, we might find ourselves not necessarily healing but just creating more trauma. Holding space for yourself to self-reflect is important along the healing journey to let go of who you no longer are to become who you wa...

When things don't happen as we anticipate, we have two options. We can either get frustrated and upset or we can find the learning curve and come from a solution based mindset.

Join me in reflecting on my one year anniversary in London, United Kingdom

Birthdays to me where never about me. I always saw them as a community activity. A way for friends to all get together and have a good time. In my early 20's there were plenty of times where I would arrange big birthday parties, show up for maybe an hour and then escape my own birthday. In the comedy of it all, I really just wanted everyone to have a good time at the end of the day and a reaso...
