The quote I return to the most is one by Oprah from the final episode of her talk show in 2011. She said, “Everybody has a calling, and your real job in life is to figure out as soon as possible what that is, who you were meant to be, and to begin to honor that in the best way possible for yourself.” Read More>>

“The great feat of an alchemist is that they can do the impossible. They can turn lead into gold. The ability to take anything that life gives you and turn it into gold.”

When the darkness of adversity arises, the bravest alchemists shine the brightest. In this game of Acting, you ride the waves of rejection : from audition to audition… you must persevere knowing that even though sometimes the journey may seem dark there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

World peace begins within.

This came to me during my morning meditation many years ago, and it encapsulates the WHY behind the work I do.

First, it’s a reminder that in order for me to support others in nurturing peace through the services I offer, my personal practices of cultivating inner peace must be daily and throughout the day. And these practices are not only when I sit to meditate or practice Yoga or Reiki, but also in the mindfulness I integrate into moments and interactions. Read More>>

One of my favorite quotes is actually in Chinese “前途是光明的，道路是没有的.” The direct translation is “You have a bright future ahead of you, but there is not a single path that you can follow.” I hope my translation does it justice. I love how hopeful and scary it sounds at the same time. Read More>>

Words are so powerful and there are many beautiful quotes that are food for my soul! One which comes to mind now is from my beutiful teacher, Deborah Hanekamp of Mama Medicine, who said “Let your work be bigger than you”. More aptly, Deborah shared that you have to let your “original essence” and its expression be bigger than you. Read More>>

My favorite quote is from the Bible. It is, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Phillipians 4:13. This verse has literally brought me through my young age to today. It is so significant to me that I have it tattooed across my right foot. Read More>>

Life imitates art, a quote that has always resonated with me. It has shaped my creative process and how I approach a project. The way something is edited, the pacing, the music, the little visual details, it all shapes how it feels. It sets a mood. And sometimes that mood sticks with you like it could exist in real life too. Read More>>

This is funny to me because it is something I say constantly in various forms. I have it posted throughout my home office, and I cannot count how many times I have hash tagged it or used it in some way on Social Media. “Manifest what you Believe.” Read More>>
