Hello Loves, I got married! My wife and I planned our entire wedding by ourselves. We kept the traditions that we loved, and threw away the ones that made us feel uncomfortable – no aisle to walk down, no photos during the ceremony, no clinking glasses for more kisses. It was super empowering to make… Continue reading August Reflections

Hello Loves, I really reflected on my health this month. I caught the flu three times since the summer. I’m talking full on fever, body aches and headache, sneezing, congestion and coughing. They lasted three weeks each. I wondered what the heck was going on with my immune system? I’ve been one of those people… Continue reading December Reflections

I wake up every morning and say thank you for… Continue reading November Reflections
