The Naked Truth: 2011, A year in review

As we stand at the beginning of this new, exciting year it seems appropriate to reflect on the year that just passed. I have started and stopped writing this post many times now. How to encapsulate such a powerful year in a few short paragraphs?
At the outset of 2011 I set the intention of being truly naked, authentic, real. Of walking my talk in all facets of my life. Transparency is a big part of this, and so, taking a big breath, here I share the inside scoop on what …

Naked Living and Authenticity: A resolution for the rest of us

At this time last year, I took on the incredible and daunting challenge of living 2010 as though it were my last year on earth. It was scary, exciting, and one of the most rewarding years of my entire life.

Living 2010 Fully

Today is the first Monday of the first week of the first month of the first year of a new decade… The air is brimming with possibility and promise. The year Twenty-Ten. Just saying it out loud feels good.
This is the time of year where we are afforded the opportunity to push the reset button and start fresh. Well, really we’re afforded that opportunity every single day, but somehow marking it with such a poignant milestone and the opening of a new calendar feels more significant. I think that’s why …
