Live Simply in December: Ease
Creating more ease in people’s lives is at the core of my life’s work. I know firsthand the ways challenges great and small are responsible for important mental, physical and spiritual growth. Still, I’m invested in creating greater ease because I also know that the more freed up each of us is (freed from the…
Read MoreLive Simply In November: Intention
In the karmic equation that rules our lives, intention is the cause that ultimately creates an effect. When we consciously set an intention, we align ourselves with our authentic purpose and desire. On an unconscious and conscious level, we put forth the energy that’s required to bring about our intended outcome. Without intention, we’re…
Read MoreLive Simply In October: Satisfaction
In life, there are the tasks we want to do and the ones we know we need to do. Most unfortunately, these two things often don’t overlap. Like, you know you need to move your body, but what you want to do is become your bed. Or, you know you need to create an orderly,…
Read MoreLive Simply In September: Impeccability
We learn as we mature that life is a balance of getting what we want and giving others what they want. Being willing to compromise is the difference between having healthy relationships and being a giant jerk no one likes. Still, each of us has certain values we refuse to compromise on. These are…
Read MoreLive Simply In August: Play
For years, I sported what could only ever have been referred to as an ugly, dumb, digital, sport-style watch. To others, it must appeared in stark contrast with the rest of my intentionally put-together look.

You know those people who seem to be winning at life? They’re successful in business, they have flourishing family lives, and they radiate positive energy. You just know that wherever they go and whatever they try their hand at, fortune and ease will follow. These people don’t possess special ingredients you lack. They may even…
Read MoreLive Simply in June: Generosity
When raising money for various causes, people are wont to imploringly remind us, “If you can’t give with your money, give with your (fill in the blank).” Said in that context, the request for gifts in other forms can come off as cringey (like, we all know what you really want). But money is just…
Read MoreLive Simply In May: Decisiveness
There are no wrong decisions. I’ll say that again: there are no wrong decisions. You cannot choose wrongly, because either way, you benefit. If you make a decision and the outcome is exceedingly positive, you will have moved your life forward and will feel victorious. If you make a decision and the outcome is seemingly…
Read MoreLive Simply In April: Expansion
It’s easy to stay small. It’s comfortable to keep being the person you’ve known yourself to be, with the characteristics those around you have always said define you. The older you get, the more you can begin to believe that who you are now is all you’ll be. Acceptance can morph into resignation, which is…
Read MoreLive Simply in March: Synchronicity
The past two years have been some of the most trying in recent history. We’re overwhelmed by the constant barrage, and our mental and emotional processing is overtaxed. Just when we were starting to feel the restrictive collar of fear loosening, beginning to feel a sense of renewal, rejoining, and rebuilding, we’re met with…
