Follow your dreams…but don't miss out on the dream you're living right now
Us humans, we thrive on progress. We feel alive when growing, achieving and dreaming. But I’ve been reflecting a lot lately as I too focus on these things, that it should never be in exchange for fully enjoying our lives as they are right now. Yes, even with challenges and problems we are facing — personal, professional, financial, health-related, we should and can still be fully present and joyful in our lives right now. Here are five ways to do just that.

You Deserve to Have an Amazing Year

Goal-setting as an exercise is all well and good, but it can feel futile and unfulfilling if you aren’t getting to the heart of the matter. Which is really, getting to YOUR heart. If you’re living mostly on the surface, how do you even know what you want?

This is what I learned this year — you can’t get clear on your true desires and purpose until you’ve positioned yourself to receive those messages. Here are 5 tips to get you there.

How I Live Well: Emily and Jess of Shine PR

As an entrepreneur, mother and human trying to get the most out of life here on earth, I've always been fascinated by the real, concrete ways that creative people (especially those that I admire) live.  I'm a big fan of memoirs and books like Daily Rituals: How Artists Work that allows us to peek behind the curtains of the daily lives of creative people. What seemingly small choices do they make throughout their day in order to live fully and with purpose?  How do they design their days with living well in mind? 

All You Are is launching a series, How I Live Well, with the goal of uncovering how the women who seem to have AND do it all actually create and design their days. 

We'll share the previously unknown tips, tricks and rituals (you could call them life hacks) as well as the products they use to live well. We'll learn from the simple but creative ways they design their days to maximize joy, fulfilment and growth.

A Letter to My Daughter on Her 2nd Birthday
Birthdays are a celebration of life and the true miracle it is to be here on this planet. Instead of just the usual gifts, I decided to write a letter to my daughter every year, passing on things I hope for her and want her to know. This is my inaugural annual birthday letter to her.
