5 Delicious Tips to Stay Hydrated: Post by Alex Maul

We’re in the dog days of summer, and I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely feeling the heat. For me, summer is synonymous with being outside in the hot weather, playing in the sun, enjoying outdoor exercise, and yep, sweating. We sweat more in the summer and usually are more active outdoors, so make hydration a priority in order…

Start Where You Are

My all-time favorite quote is "No matter how difficult the past, you can always begin again today." It reminds me that each day is an opportunity, and if you let it, today can be the first day of the rest of your life! My birthday is fast approaching, and before each new age, I take stock of the year before…

Dreams Begin with Self-Love

In speaking with some incredible business women this week, I've been reminded of one of my all-time favorite parts of living: I adore listening to people's dreams. I love how it makes them light up inside and you can see the little girl or boy inside them. You can see in their eyes the possibilities, the opportunities, and in that…

Make It Your Best Year Yet!

On New Year's Day, I wrote on someone's Facebook wall: "I wish you the very best this year; I know that this is going to be a great year for all of us." The person replied, "I hope so..." I was struck by the passivity of this response, as if unseen forces completely dictated this person's future and he had…

No Regrets. Many To Do’s

I received shocking news Sunday morning. A good friend and former colleague of mine's mom died unexpectedly. Although I didn't know my friend's mother personally, I know she was a kindred spirit. Someone who lived out loud and without regret. She was moments away from receiving her Ph.D in Australia, starting her own business, and creating her own inspirational movement in her…

When to Bail Out or Stay the Course

This time last year, I was in the process of creating a huge and seemingly crazy dream. I decided in August of 2012 that I wanted to leave my job and my life in San Francisco and sail in South America. I had no idea how to sail. Very long story short, I found myself living the dream 3 months…

Drop the Mask & Be Who You Are

That title is easy to write but can be incredibly difficult to do. From a young age, we are encouraged to wear a variety of masks and labels so much so that the #1 regret of the dying is: "I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me." And…

Happiness is a Choice

It can be incredibly easy to base our happiness on outside circumstances. In fact, we're often taught in our society and in relationships that happiness is determined by how someone else acts or treats you. How often have you heard the line in a romantic comedy, "I want to make you happy for the rest of our lives?" While this…

Why Women Should Travel

First off, everyone should travel. As the famous Saint Augustine saying goes, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” I focus on women in particular because I’ve received numerous comments since announcing my round-the-world journey that center around warning me of the dangers of solo woman travel.
