How Yoga Became an Essential Part of My Life

If you had told me three years ago upon graduating college that I would become a yoga teacher, I probably would’ve looked at you very confused.

What it’s Like to Return to the Town You Couldn’t Wait to Get Out of

I jumped on the opportunity to leave my hometown the second I could. It was the moment I was waiting for; the moment I could finally live somewhere else for the first time in my life, ditch my same old routine and evolve as a person. I could not wait to get out of my hometown, meet new people and begin a new chapter in life.

Warm Mocha Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

I don’t know what it is about those chocolate-covered espresso beans, but for someone who doesn’t like or drink coffee, they get me every time. This recipe is inspired by Tone It Up’s breakfast quinoa bowl and I’ve been adding my own to spin on it lately. This is my go-to for those slow mornings where I’m not super hungry yet or for active recovery days from my workouts.

You know, a wise donkey once said, “I like that You know, a wise donkey once said, “I like that boulder, that is a nice boulder”. And I have to agree with him; that is a nice boulder 🤣 If that made you nose weeze, then my job here is done 😉 but seriously, let this be a reminder to get out of your own way and get outside (safely, of course)! Put the phone down, look up, find some nice boulders, feel the sun on your face, enjoy the fresh air, take a deep breath, walk around, listen to a podcast or some soul tunes💖✨ because it truly is a blessing to have another day on this earth✨
10 years ago, on this very day, I was in my senior 10 years ago, on this very day, I was in my senior year of high school. It was a time when I was just ready to graduate and start a new chapter. 

It felt like a slow, blah, ordinary morning. I remember my mom coming into my room before school and asking if I needed any laundry done that she could throw in with hers. My sleepy teenage self mumbled something but that was about it. I think I even walked past her in a rush to leave and said “bye love you”, as I walked out the door. I could probably count the amount of words I said to her that morning on one hand. 

I went to school and was just going through the motions as my tired and drained teenage self did. I was probably late to homeroom that day, too. Or maybe it was one of the only days I was on time. But let’s be real, chances are, I was probably late. 

Once first period rolled around, I was sitting in my beloved (jkjkjkk) math class. When I went to write the date a few minutes after class started, I suddenly realized, I forgot my mom’s birthday. 

My jaw dropped and I gasped so loud😧

Everyone was like, “what’s wrong???” 

And I said, “I FORGOT MY MOM’S BIRTHDAY AND BARELY SAID ANYTHING TO HER THIS MORNING AND SHE EVEN WALKED IN AND ASKED IF I WANTED MY LAUNDRY DONE!” 😭

I felt like a horrible daughter in that moment🥺

So, on my lunch period, I ran over to Wegmans, and got her flowers and drove all the way back home to surprise her with them. Even if it made me late to my next class, I was on a mission to do better. 

It was the kick in the ass I needed to wake up and start being more present in my life. To this day, I haven’t forgotten her birthday. Or left the house without saying, “I love you”. 

So, here’s to my amazing mom, who has always done so much for me and even my friends who always turn into family. She’s always a call or text away and is ready to be there for you, no matter the time of day. Those are the types of qualities I hope I take on when I become a mother someday (maybe you’ll get a grandbaby for your birthday someday... but not today or next year or the year after that😉)
