June 21 is International Day of Yoga

When I look at how I manage the everyday juggle and grind, there are two things that keep me most grounded through it all. There are two things, that no matter how stressed I am, or how frazzled I may be, that literally transform my entire aura. One is meditation.

About 13 years ago, I was close to burning out. Literally. I don’t think anyone knew just how close I was. If you’re reading our blog today for the first time- I owned a successful company, I had sales growing by the quarter. I was named one of the Top 30 Under 30 Entrepreneurs. Top 40 Under 40 Nominee.

My first daughter came along shortly after my promotion into a management position. Having the financial resources, we had a full-time nanny, which allowed me to continue my career. My job required much time, travel, and intellectual/emotional effort. Being in the entertainment industry, I got to meet and work with famous television and movie stars. In addition to attending awards shows, movie premieres, and launch parties, my husband and I got to attend exciting events such as the Olympics and the Super Bowl.

Honoring Women On Mother’s Day

Sunday is the day we honor mothers everywhere. For some, Mother’s Day is a day to rejoice. For others, it’s a sad and difficult day, as many will celebrate this Mother’s Day without a mom. In my family, this day is always hard, as we celebrate Mother’s Day without my beautiful aunt who I was so very close to.

It’s time to work smarter not harder, end procrastination and own your day… every day!
