Just a few days ago, I attended the Christopher Robin World Premiere and told you just how magical and healing that experience was for me. Christopher Robin is Disney’s newest live action adaptation based on our beloved friends in the Hundred Acre Wood, and starring Ewan McGregor as Christopher Robin. I had the privilege of …
Today, I feel lighter than I’ve felt in weeks, probably months. It’s been such an emotional rollercoaster, from anger to sadness to loneliness and hopelessness and praying for strength to stay positive in the process, rather than resort to self-destruction, no matter what the voices in my head are saying. Three days surrounded with amazing …
Welcome to August… back to school prep time! My daughters and I like going to the library, reading real paper books, and taking notes on binded notebooks with the old fashioned pen and paper. We also love workbooks, worksheets, and checklists to keep organized, just like any “normal” homeschool family. However, we also take advantage …
Earlier this month, Elisha, Elyssa, and I were invited to speak at WordCamp Sydney – yeah, in Australia! I was so excited and, who wouldn’t be? I love speaking, I love using WordPress as a web designer, I love traveling, and I love koalas! But not only there was not a lot of time for …
As a little girl, I always dreamed of going to college and even though I struggled with self-worth, I had heard repeatedly I was “college material.” I saw college as the door to freedom, fortune, and fame. After a very long break from school, I decided to bring my dream back to life and pursue …

Being a mom is not easy, and being a positive mom is even more difficult because children are a mystery and we humans don’t seem to naturally deal with the unknown very patiently. And one day, when you think you have it figured out or at least getting the hang of it, you feel the …
I help moms figure out their passions, their priorities, and their purpose, and it’s interesting to see that even though we all each have different backgrounds and values and travel a different path, we all agree we want good health. That’s like a freebie no-brainer. After working with thousands of moms, I’ve also noticed that …
2009 was a year of much growth, almost like a rebirth for me. Being in remission meant that I could focus on building my life again, rather than just staying alive. I started my speaking career mentored by Les Brown, I published another marketing book, I attended my first Tony Robbins event where I literally …
Children don’t seem to have to strive to be happy. When I was a little girl, I used to keep a notebook with positive quotes, songs I liked, poetry, romantic sayings, drawings, and even beauty tips! I would write, draw or paste pretty much anything that resonated with me, kind of like a blend of …
