I posted this a year ago a week after returning home from the Life is Beautiful festival in Las Vegas. Remembering all of those who were lost to gun violence on that day and since then. Most of my dearest friends and even my husband are in my life because I first met them at…

If I was going to Brooklyn Comes Alive this is what I’d do
Checking out which super groups of musicians I wanted to rock out to, I created a schedule of epic proportions. I was all set to rock Brooklyn Comes Alive with gusto when I received a very sad phone call. My ride had to back out making it pretty much impossible for me to go. Bummertown!…
I drank all the vodka.
Waking up with my head pounding as flowing waves of nauseousness came crashing down, the disappointment set in as I realized that I’d done this to myself. WTF? I totally messed up and now I’m paying for it big time. Damn it! How did I allow this to happen when I’m so committed to conscious…
“I would never get THAT drunk,” she said.
He was stumbling around unable to formulate words before vomiting everywhere and then choosing the sidewalk as a suitable bed for the evening. Since you’ve been practicing your conscious partying habits, you roll your eyes at him and say to your friend, “I would never get THAT drunk.” The errors in that thought are a…
How to Party this Weekend Without the Hangover
I was mad because I was hungover, sad because I did it to myself and disappointed because I let it happen to me yet again. This was an average post holiday weekend feeling for me and I didn’t like it one bit. What did I do? I started to practice mindfulness when it came to…
When Life Throws You a Curveball
Pre-festival excitement was making it almost impossible to think about anything else besides all the possibilities, new friends and experiences I was going to be a part of at Phish’s Curveball Festival. The festival that I’d been planning for months to attend was to take place August 17-19th 2018. Our Prius was packed to the…
It’s so much more than a good time in a balloon. Nitrous is the worst and this is why
Anywhere live music is happening is my sanctuary. The happy place where so many of my favorite people gather for the pure enjoyment of the experience that is live music. I’ll travel miles and miles to go wherever that is happening to recharge my battery and raise my vibe. Right now my heart is broken…
What’s in my cup?
What’s in my cup? I’ll tell ya! On the top of my list of my most fav conscious party animal beverages is the one I’m sippin on here right before Trevor Hall brought his magic to Frendly Gathering. Fermented and delicious (although for some it’s an acquired taste) this cup of liquid gold is awesome…
There’s a tear in my beer and this is why
During the times in between shows and festivals when I was at home, I would put a ton of attention on everything I consumed. Before I made a purchase, I considered the impact of what I wanted to buy had on not only my body, but on the world too. There’s no way that I’d ever…
How I raged Frendly Gathering so hard
It’s a couple of days after Frendly Gathering and I’m feelin fine! Being a little tired from all the dancing, sun and walking up and down hills, I was gentle with myself this week, but it’s nowhere near how I used to feel when I forgot to bring my healthy lifestyle with me to the…
