Every month, I try to schedule a benefit class. I reach out to local non-profit organizations that speak to me on a personal level and work with them to coordinate a donation based class where I teach and they collect valuable funding.

Lately I have found myself getting frustrated and impatient with the outside world when it comes to my professional success. Starting classes from scratch as a brand new

“Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows.” ― Helen Keller Happy summer everyone! Isn't this time of year so exciting and refreshing!? It seems like the moment summer hits, life will kick it into high gear and everyone is anxious to be as happy and as busy as possible. Here in Iowa, warm weather is cherished so deeply because our winters drain all of the energy we could possibly have just to get to temps above 40 degrees. Patio weather is our best fri

A while back I started the #NewHabitsChallenge, with the idea of making a new habit (or getting rid of an old one) and doing it everyday for 30 days. The hope is that a new healthy habit is created. Small changes are less daunting, more accessible, and often lead to another small change and then another, eventually reaching a major lifestyle shift.
