As I had mentioned in my blog Spiritually Fed, I recently covered the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Heartthrob Ball for TV20. It was a fabulous ball that may have been so much fun to attend (KC & the Sunshine band played!), but the sole purpose was to recognize the brave individuals that have been through so…

Countdown to 30….Part 2
Let’s also title this Some Lessons Learned In 30 Years. 1. Mom is basically always right. No, seriously. I can maybe think of one time she wasn’t completely right. (But sometimes you just have to follow your heart.) 2. SAVE moolah for emergencies. Maybe in my 30s I’ll finally get this one right. 3….
Sisterhood’s Anti-Bullying Campaign
Yesterday the Sisterhood (in conjunction with Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio) held an Anti-Bullying Campaign at the West Side Community House in Cleveland. The young girls, on a mission to show the effects of bullying, came out with blindfolds on to represent the people that see bullying happen but do nothing about it, a…
Photo Shoot With Kevin Richards!
I recently did a photo shoot with the incredibly talented Kevin Richards. I met Kevin a few years ago, but haven’t seen him in a while so it was also a great chance to catch up. He is a kindred spirit, and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to frolic around Cleveland with…
Energy Vampires
You wake up in a great mood. The day is yours! Then you get to work and that negative co-worker starts bitching about their morning so far, how other co-workers annoy them and before you know it you already start getting sucked in. Suddenly the pile of papers is causing anxiety, you start thinking about…
Compassion
Compassion is apparently a virtue I have forgotten lately. The image below, which I found on Pinterest (shocking, I know…), was the wake up call I needed. I need to lose the ego. Stop looking at the past, placing blame, being hurt and angry. I need to forgive. I have confused “being a doormat” and compassion. They…
Back To Yoga!
Yesterday I went back to yoga for the first time in months. I didn’t realize how much I needed it till I finally went. Shakthi, my instructor, is amazing! He teaches yoga in a way that helps to make me focus. No offense to other instructors I have had, but I’m so in my head that I…
Shine A Light of Positivity
I’ve had a perfect Sunday morning so far. Woke up, poured a hot cup of coffee and got to catch Joel Osteen on TV. Joel’s message always inspires and encourages me. Today’s message was regarding leaving “deposits” in the world. When he says “deposits” he means leaving encouraging words and actions. Compliment someone today. Help…
Reason, Season or Lifetime
My dear friend and mentor Maggie May gave me a great piece of advice a while back. Lately I have started contemplating it. On a piece of paper she handed me the “Reason, Season or Lifetime” lesson. It goes as follows: People always come into your life for a reason, a season and a lifetime. When…
The Heart of the Matter
There are a lot of wounded people walking around. A lot of pent-up anger. A lot of holding on when we should be letting go. We have to find forgiveness. I know that’s easier said than done-BELIEVE ME. But, it’s better for you to let go and move on than to keep holding on to…
