When quieting our fears in order to build and grow and do, it's important to focus on the ways in which our strengths surface in the face of fear. Most of our dreams are attainable. Truly. If you want to write a book, write it. If you want to do yoga, sign up for … Continue reading Fear Reveals Our Strengths

Fear is a Liar
Regarding our goals, hopes, and dreams... When fear grips, when it calls your name, remember FEAR IS A LIAR. In my life fear is sometimes patient; taking a backseat to joyful anticipation when I choose to begin something new and subtly creeping in further down the road. Other times, fear is impatient and stands boldly … Continue reading Fear is a Liar
Mothers / Birthdays
I turned 37 yesterday. I felt 37 yesterday. But in the best way. I felt comfortable in my own skin; in the work I'm doing, in the direction I'm heading, in my weight and appearance, with my brow game, and mostly in being in the presence of my sweet family. I feel older too. Over the … Continue reading Mothers / Birthdays

Feet Firmly Planted on the Ground | Head Soaring in the Skies Above

Who I Am [Challenge]
I posted this to my Instagram account this past weekend... I managed to score some unanticipated, afternoon writing time while my crew is at the pool. I also included #writer... I added it, deleted it and finally, hesitantly retyped it. Can I actually consider myself a legit writer? I don't have any books or novels published. I have had … Continue reading Who I Am [Challenge]
Actually, Pamela is My Mother…
A lot of thought and prayer went into titling the documentary and I did initially struggle with the phrase "Calcutta is My Mother" simply because I do have a mother and her name is Pamela. While I believe it to be an appropriate title for the film because it best encompasses the driving force behind the project, I want to clear … Continue reading Actually, Pamela is My Mother…
Blank, Fresh Space…
And so here I sit, cozy and content on the first day of a new year; my husband seated at the other end of the couch taking in a football game (Go Ducks!!) and my little Rubina fully enveloped in her creative and playful imagination. I sit here thinking of the days ahead to be … Continue reading Blank, Fresh Space…
Ballerina | Writer | Soccer Player
I have always been a pretty big dreamer. I've had a lot of them come and go throughout my life. There was a pretty long list of things that came to the forefront of my mind, as a child, when asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?" In no particular order, below is a list of some … Continue reading Ballerina | Writer | Soccer Player
