Today I turn 23. In honor of this, I've been reflecting a lot on everything that I've done and that's happened to me in the past year. I'm often very hard on myself, but when I think about everything I've endured and celebrated in the past year...I'm pretty damn proud of myself. I made it … Continue reading Birthday Reflections
Vegan Carrot Cake
Approved by all carrot-cake-loving Lundgrens...aka all Lundgrens. I was always weirded out by the idea of carrot cake until I realized it tasted nothing like carrots and everything like heaven, so when I found a vegan version on Pinterest I had to try it for our family Easter! This cake was incredible...6 days later and … Continue reading Vegan Carrot Cake
Real talk…
I had these visions of myself coming out of this teacher training with all my problems fixed. Clear skin, no back/neck/knee pain. I'd be more comfortable being myself than ever before and I'd be 100% grounded in my purpose on this planet. Right now, that doesn't seem likely. In these past few months all of … Continue reading Real talk…
Reasons he’s NOT the one
It's so easy to look at a bad relationship from the outside and judge. How could she stay with him? How can she let him treat her that way? It doesn't make sense. But I can tell you it's not that easy. You never really know how it feels until you're in the middle of … Continue reading Reasons he’s NOT the one

Destination Addiction
"Beware of destination addiction. The idea that happiness is in the next place, the next job, or even the next partner. Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are." -Shelley Gilgio I was rereading my last journal the other day, just looking for some little … Continue reading Destination Addiction
My Favorite Sunrises of 2017
In the Summer of 2017, I became incredibly inspired by this amazing human to start getting up to see the sunrise every morning. I'd wake up at 5 o'clock and the moon and stars would still be shining. Some days it was more of a struggle to get up than others, but most mornings I … Continue reading My Favorite Sunrises of 2017
Salty & Sweet
I've never really been much of a sweets person. In fact when I was little I didn't like ANYTHING sweet (chocolate, cake, ice cream, cookies, candy...you name it), so for one of my birthdays my mom made me a "cake" by carving a watermelon into the shape of a basket and filling it with fruit … Continue reading Salty & Sweet
Firing My Mind
I just read a chapter from The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer that BLEW my mind. It told me that all my perceived psychological problems have been created by my mind's resistance to what is. That I have given my mind the job of creating a perfect world where everything works out the way … Continue reading Firing My Mind

Four months ago I began my 200-hr yoga teacher training and it has brought so much to light in my life. Some things I've been avoiding and some things I didn't … Continue reading Hello!
