When challenged by Nisha Moodley’s #FreedomAdventure to wear something I feel beautiful in, I normally wouldn’t choose to wear something that showed all of me.

There’s no freakin way this smoothie is healthy…except that it is
You asked for it! Here’s how to make one of my favorite smoothies. It’s a mint chocolate chip one and it’s awesome…especially when you make it while rocking out to a Reba jam by Phish. This smoothie is not only healthy, but it seriously tastes like mint chocolate chip ice-cream. It’s crazy!!!! Here’s what’s in…
What would the world be like without Phish?
Everyone was put on this earth to shine their lovelights, but for some reason so many of us allow our lights to be dimmed for one reason or another. It’s so much easier to place blame on someone for dimming your lovelight instead of taking responsibility for it. “It’s my boss’s fault. I get in…
One Way to Get Back On Your Unicorn When You Fall Off

How I Channeled John Lennon
John Lennon was one of the most famous dreamers of our time. Dreaming is awesome and important, but problems arise when we become all dreams and no action. I was so guilty of this. I was an epic dreamer. I got high speaking about all the great ideas I had, the things I was going…
How I Got Featured in the Huffington Post
It was a miraculous day. I received a personal email from Arianna Huffington saying that she wanted to feature my voice in the Huffington Post. How the heck did that happen? Here’s the all-access exclusive story straight from the unicorn’s mouth. A little while ago my friend Danielle asked me if I wanted to go…
You May Be Right. I May Be Crazy.
If there’s one book you should read (besides mine slated to release in February) it’s The 4 Agreements by Miguel Ruiz. Today we’re going to talk about the second agreement, “Don’t Take Anything Personally.” This one is one of the hardest agreements for most people to master and let me tell you…I’m still working on…
Why I Named My Ego Sheila
Does your ego easily get hurt? Does it whine and complain? Does it love to play the victim sometimes? Does it thrive on attention? Does it keep you from shining your light? I don’t know about you, but my ego is a bitch sometimes. Don’t worry. This happens to the most spiritual people. As my friend Cora…
