I don’t think I realized how doing this challenge would make the people I’m closest to feel. I probably just assumed like the incredible response I’ve been receiving from all of you…that the people I’m closest to would feel the same way. But yesterday, I realized I was wrong. I had a heart-to-heart discussion with […]

So, I’m sitting outside in between classes when I had this crazy/silly/very me idea to skip around the city. My first thought (after I was laughing uncontrollably) was there’s got to be a group or something that gets together and skips and sure enough, I found one! In the city! Since I haven’t skipped in […]

I don’t always have a plan; that’s been my “plan” for this challenge. My intention has always been: how can I live each moment more authentically me no matter what the situation or who’s in the room. So, tonight, without a “plan” I showed up to a yoga class. I’ve been to this particular yoga […]

Yesterday, I bought the 24-hour day pass and was ready to go on my first Citibike through New York City. Here’s a play-by-play of my internal dialogue as I biked through the city: Ok, this is going to be FUN!…rules say, abide by traffic laws, stay off the sidewalk and ride with traffic. Easy…I can […]

I’ve cried numerous times in a yoga class….as the student. Almost ten years as a New Yorker and I consider my yoga practice, my best friend. I show up to practice when I need to dance; when I need inspiration; when I need comfort; and usually, when I need to feel loved. It’s in a […]

I’ve always wondered about these guys setting up shop in Union square playing chess. Is this how they make their living? How long have they been playing? And what’s so special about this game anyway? So instead of walking by as I normally do, I decide to sit down and learn. This is T.C. (short […]

Doris has been coming to my yoga class every Saturday at NYSC for awhile now. And she is an undeniable force of nature. She walks into class as if she’s going out on the town…always wearing that pink sequins hat (which I find out is her secret conversation starter), a tiny scarf around her neck, […]

Morning Dance Party?!? SIGN ME UP!! While most of you were sleeping/showering or at the gym this morning, I was in line and ready to get my groove on by 6:30am! It’s called, DAYBREAKER and they have morning dance parties at various clubs/venues in various cities from the morning hours of 7-9am. The first hour […]

There are five stories in my building and each floor has five apartments so I figured, it won’t take me too long to knock on someone’s door and say hello, right? I started on the 5th floor and worked my way down. As I approached the first “knock,” I could feel my heart racing and […]

I used the Public Toilet in Paris. It’s actually kind of awesome! You press a button on the outside, the door opens, you enter and this is where I got it wrong the first time. I tried to close the door manually but the old, French man outside started speaking to me in French (which […]
