Yes. Yes. and YES. That’s all I’m going to say about Maxie’s post… When I opened the Google doc with the draft, I was literally nodding my head in agreement. How to Find Your Aha Moment by Maxie McCoy I’m a total inspiration junkie. My version of watching TV is a marathon of Oprah episodes….
Basic Quinoa Salad
Always excited to share Louisa from Living Lou’s recipes on here. I’ve really, really been making an effort to grocery shop and cook at home. The simpler the recipe the better.

How to Back Out of a Commitment with Grace
Maxie and I recently had breakfast together (love it!) when she was in the city for a bit. We were both talking about how we struggle with how often we say yes to people. There were both things we had agreed to do that for one reason or another we couldn’t! Maxie’s advice is spot-on…

What Happens When You Filter Out Reality?
So Maxie and I are really great friends. For me, she’s the kind of friend whom I can tell anything to. I can call her on the phone when there’s a situation I have no idea how to handle. I can vent to her on Skype when I just need to get something off my chest….

Your End of Summer Bucket List
I’m putting my foot down… I refuse to let summer end. I’m seriously trying to come up with ways to petition Mother Nature for an #endlesssummer. This summer has been one of my favorites since childhood and I really just want it to last forever. What better way than to check some things off of…
