On Saturday, members of the Golden 1 Credit Union got a great perk for having an account with the credit union- a sneak peak of the beautiful new Golden 1 Center arena in downtown Sacramento! And I have to say, it is truly amazing! I live right by the arena, on the other… Continue reading Golden 1 Center Sneak Peak

I believe life is meant to be enjoyed and our frame of mind determines how much we allow ourselves to experience the beauty each day has to offer.
Almost five years ago, I was depressed, physically weak and spiritually broken. Now I feel all the blessings of a healthy life and a grateful attitude.
From positive vibes to simple pleasures- I'm sharing my thoughts on all the little things that make life truly amazing.
Unanswered Prayers
I love the song Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks. I can’t believe it, but the song is more than 25 years old now. I think it’s staying power isn’t just thanks to the way Garth sings it, but really the words he crafted. For those that can’t recall the song, give it a listen. I… Continue reading Unanswered Prayers
Enthusiasm
We’ve all had them. Those shock to the system strokes of genius. Those times when ideas start to roll, and creative juices are flowing so freely it’s almost overwhelming. When this happens, we are filled with Enthusiasm. And this is exactly the word Eckhart Tolle uses to describe complete inspirational thinking. It’s also… Continue reading Enthusiasm
Enjoyment
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, re-reading “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle has brought me so many new insights. Towards the end of the book, he introduces the concept of the “Three Modalities of Awakened Doing”. They are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm. In yesterday’s post I gave my VERY layman’s rundown of acceptance. In… Continue reading Enjoyment
Acceptance
As I mentioned last week, I recently re-read A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. I first read it four years ago and it really shifted the way I view my everyday life. While re-reading it, I was reminded of how much better my life feels when I live in sync with the principles presented in the… Continue reading Acceptance
Working Out for the Body and Mind
I am huge advocate for working out. For me, being active is pretty much non-negotiable. Although it’s nice to burn calories and get stronger, or have more endurance, I think I workout for my mental health more than anything. In fact, I’m certain that’s the case. I’ve never been against a good sweat… Continue reading Working Out for the Body and Mind
A Dozen Years of Love
On Saturday, my husband and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. So, it’s officially a dozen years of love. Not too bad for a couple that is “bad on paper”. That was the big joke when we first got together. At first glance, I think many people rightfully weren’t sure this would last 12 months,… Continue reading A Dozen Years of Love
Lessons from Mom
I think most people agree that today is a pretty awesome day, because this year it is the first day of Fall. Temperatures are starting to cool down, the leaves are changing colors, and the excitement of things like football and Halloween make this season really special. But today (September 22nd) is even way more… Continue reading Lessons from Mom

Not too hard with the naturally beautiful backdrop and picturesque sunsets, but a little extra planning never hurts! Here are my top picks… Continue reading Romantic Must-Dos In Oahu
Farm to Fork Sacramento
Update: This post is about Farm to Fork Sacramento in 2016. It gives a great recap of the event. The 2018 date hasn’t been announced yet (it’s generally late September). I’ll do an updated post once details about the 2018 event are announced. If you live in the Sacramento region, and you don’t have plans… Continue reading Farm to Fork Sacramento
