By Laura D. on May 12, 2019 in Events, Hospitality, Just for Fun, Mental and Emotional Health

I am/was a “yes man” or woman I should say. I always have been. I hate letting others down, I like, okay LOVE, the feeling of achievement and worldly affirmation (at times I feel even addicted to success), and I want to be the person that can do it ALL. I was the kid who [...]

By Emily B. on February 17, 2019 in Just for Fun, Mental and Emotional Health

*Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV. The feelings expressed here are just how floating has benefitted me. This post is also not sponsored by any organization; it's just me talking! It wasn't all that long ago that someone first mentioned flotation therapy to me. If you don't know, [...]

By Rachel E. on May 27, 2018 in Health and Fitness, Mental and Emotional Health, Motherhood

Who is that girl? After many sleepless nights, I took notice of my reflection staring back at me in the mirror. Who is that girl?

By Holly R. on January 22, 2018 in Health and Fitness, Just for Fun, Mental and Emotional Health

I’m not going to do them in any particular order. I just need to finish one a day. Setting resolutions and goals in January may seem silly, but it’s important for us to constantly strive to be better than we were the year prior, even the day before, one day at a time.

Now, Let That (Insert Whatever is Making Your Life Feel Out of Control) Go

By Kristin A. on January 4, 2018 in Health and Fitness, Just for Fun, Mental and Emotional Health, Motherhood

I’m realizing what I learn on the yoga mat can help me in life off the mat. One idea that I’m clinging to these days has nothing to do with the anthemic “Let It Go” from Disney’s Frozen, but just might have you singing that refrain anyway.

I Go to Therapy and I Love It

By Holly R. on September 21, 2017 in Mental and Emotional Health, Relationships

I grew up thinking you had to be in really bad shape to need a therapist, when in reality, I wish I would have gone to one sooner. My kids also see a therapist and have never once complained about going – they actually like it and want to go!

Even the Broken Side: Embracing Our Imperfections

By Allison P. on July 24, 2017 in Mental and Emotional Health, Relationships

Image credit: ThisIsColossal.com Just a few short months ago, I received my first phone call from daycare that my daughter had an accident on the playground.
