Create Yourself First (then that shiny life you’re chasing happens anyway)

Sara Blakely, Founder of Spanx, became the youngest self-made female billionaire in the world at only 41.

The Christmas Tree Analogy For A Life Fully Lived

This tree is deliciously symbolic. It represents an analogy for life, for how to seize it with both hands and manifest your biggest dreams.

Drop Off Day (Gin for breakfast anyone?)

I’m feeling flat today after dropping my 2 littlest ones off at school and knowing they’ll be at their dad’s until next Wednesday. 5 whole days until I get my boys back.
