Donate: Text “storm” to 80888 to make a $10 donation for the victims of Moore, Carney and Shawnee Oklahoma.

I’ve received an overwhelming amount of calls, texts and messages from friends, family and former co-workers asking about whether or not we were affected by the tornadoes that ripped through Oklahoma yesterday.  Thankfully, I can say that we are all safe and escaped the unimaginable terror of these storms.

I feel a few things; primarily a deep sadness for the people who have lost loved ones, their homes, and their cherished memories. My heart strings are being tugged a bit harder I think, since this tragedy struck in my new home state.  

I would like you please:

Love Meditation

It’s not always easy to feel love for yourself.  

This is one of my favourite meditations to do on days when I feel the need a gentle reminder to nurture, nourish and be more compassionate to myself and my process.  This is a wonderful daily practice for LOVE month.

1. Find a peaceful, space either outdoors or one well lit with natural light.
2. Sit in an upright position with your spine long, place your hands upon your heart and begin to breath deeply into your belly.
3. When you have connected to your deep, belly breath bring the word L-O-V-E into your mind’s eye and feel the energetic impact of the word in your heart.
4. Focus on each letter of the word L-O-V-E as you breathe and notice any vibrations that come into your heart
5. Contemplate the meaning of love. Enjoy the journey deep within and bring awareness to the meaning of love within yourself. Be open to your intuition, creative ideas, images, feelings, emotions and revelations.
6. Feel your heart and body fill with loving energy and release the word as well as any and all meanings basking in the afterglow of your feelings.
7. Feel yourself completely surrendering mind, body, heart and spirit to the constant flow of love that exists within you and bring this energy into each interaction, creation and exchange of your day.

Today, I'm sad to leave DC.

Sometimes you just have to dance it out. 

My mom sent me this screenshot today, with the subject line, "Invest in Allegra now!!!"

 Gotta love moms. 

We bought a house!

This little beauty was built in 1950, and is chock-full of mid-century modern charm, including many of it's original fixtures.

This house, combined with my new job at a local advertising agency means that I'm basically going to be living my dream of being a character on Mad Men.

I would like you please:

Hellllllooooooo summer nights- glass of wine in hand, listening to live music at Utica Square.
