2019 Credits
Let 'em roll! 2019 was really freaking hard, you guys. This year slowly drained my energy to the point where by November, I was having a tough time getting out of bed every day. Marriage is not easy and I'm actually not even really sure I'm cut out for it. I didn't have the creative …
Setting 2019 Intentions
Last year, I chose MAKE as my intention. That word grounded everything I did, resulting in a lot of major successes - especially in the making money arena! But 2018 was still full of a lot of truly draining challenges, which is why I chose TRANSCEND for 2019. Transcending is all about staying centered throughout …
2018 Credits
Let 'em roll!This year was kind of all over the place, but ended up balanced. It was full of both unprecedented happiness and frustration. Many of my goals saw success and the frustrations illuminated new areas for me to work on. And I'm setting up my 2019 to tackle those things head on. But let's …
October Manifestations
I've been starting each month with Gala Darling's Radical Self Love Almanac. October is all about embracing luxury.

How to Have a Panic Attack
I struggle with anxiety and depression. I would like to be able to say that with the same lightness and social acceptance as "I'm suffering from a cold." No one judges a cold because everyone gets them. Yet mental conditions, which can also happen to everyone whether temporarily or more lasting, are severely stigmatized. My …
Lessons from #NoSpendFeb
As a result of some uncontrolled spending in January, I put myself on a strict financial diet for February. I tracked my daily spending to the last cent and resolved to not make purchases unless I really needed to. My strategy looked like this: I wasn't always perfect. Concert tickets for the summer all seem …
Favorite Places: Coney Island Brewery
Since we've reached peak craft brewing in this country there aren't many breweries left where you can feel like a regular or enjoy truly exciting beers. But in a world of IPAs akin to kiddie rides, Coney Island Brewery has earned their hashtags #TakeTheRide and #ThrillYourTastebuds. On a typical Saturday in summer, you can find …
