“Running, lifting weights, doing aerial, dancing vigorously, or practicing breath of fire all made me feel fierce. The lack of these activities left me feeling fragile." Being an aerialist, dreamer, achiever, small business owner, artist, and generally an extremely active individual has made me intimately acquainted with the concept of DOING rather than NOT DOING. I'm not alone in this; I've noticed that many aerialists share a similar lifestyle—one that's incredibly packed!

In search of inspiration, I took a giant leap of faith and signed up for a two-week aerial workshop—alone, with no idea what to expect. It was both exciting and terrifying, but it...
Hi Reader, My grandmother was a world traveler. In her 101 years of living on this planet she traveled to over 40 countries! As a child, I remember all the unique trinkets and crafts she brought back from her adventures abroad. I also remember how interesting and well-traveled she always seemed. She truly was a woman of the world. Grandma and Grandpa passed down their wanderlust to our whole family. I grew up peeking through a beautiful window into the vastness of this world. When I was 16,...
