Ellen Degeneres makes me laugh out loud every time I watch her and I love that she oozes authenticity. No matter whom she's interacting with, whether it's a push-up challenge with First Lady Michelle Obama or interviewing a regular Joe or Jane she's plucked from YouTube, Ellen seems...

If I could choose one quote that defines the ethos of our youth today, it would be, "When you learn, teach. When you get, give." Simple but sweet words carefully crafted by my favorite
poet, Dr. Maya Angelou.

This is a bold statement, I know, but hear me out.

What's the first word that comes to mind when I say the words, "Compton, California?"

Do you ever wonder what happens to your partially used soap bars after leaving your hotel?

I've always thought it was such a waste that I only use half the bar or mini-bottle of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I take them home, then they sit in a zip-loc bag...

Kim Shand, a nationally-renowned yoga expert, knows that life is not always fair. Born with severe scoliosis and vertebrae not fully formed, her prognosis was bleak. Doctors thought she would be paralyzed. She was expected to have stunted growth and a long list of...

When you hear about Nico Castro, a courageous six-year-old boy from Northern California, who despite his battle with brain cancer, brought Halloween to his friends in the hospital, you can't help but want to use your power to help this real-life super hero.

It's a special effervescent experience being around kids. You know that warm feeling that makes you smile wider and feel more carefree.


Imagine that multiplied 500 times -- that's what I'm feeling now. I was recently invited to present Go Inspire Go's

There is no better way to relax, recharge and reconnect to your spirit than unplugging your gadgets and getting some R&R in nature. From Tweeting to Instagramming, there are so many cool things that are keeping us from connecting the old school way -- especially amongst...

Hello from...

Nothing says "thank you" better than a kind gesture from the heart. It also doesn't have to be fancy, expensive or time intensive. My favorite thing to receive is a handwritten thank you card -- however, this time, because I love you so much -- I'm going to kick it...

When was the last time someone did something nice for you? Did you receive a hand written  letter/postcard in the mail? Did they open the door for you? Was it a smile?
