Not all those who wander are lost.
In October, I ran for my life, as a terrorist in a truck plowed down people on a bike path near my home in Tribeca. I ran with a mass of people clutching my sweet pup Waffle under my arm. People ran into their homes nearby, but I unfortunately had nowhere to run. My home was 10 […]
Hi my name is Rachel and I’m an “approval addict.” I measure my success based on what other people think of me, not what I think of myself. There it is. It all started when I was a child. Think about it, we’re all taught if we do something good, we’ll get praised and that praise feels good. For […]
It’s been one year since I married this guy, and it truly was magical. I woke up the next day with sore face muscles from smiling so damn much. I want this for you. As a life coach and overall spiritual human being. These 8 things will guarantee that your wedding will be EVERYTHING you want […]
Bangkok was the three day stop-over before the beach part of our honeymoon. The place to get over jet lag. I wasn’t that excited about Bangkok, because I’ve never heard any great reviews.

I felt emotional after spending ten days with family and friends wrapping their arms around me, in celebration of my up-coming nuptials. The amount of love and kindness I received was overwhelming. I couldn’t help, but feel “Do I deserve all this?” I truly wanted to post #blessed everywhere, don’t worry I avoided the urge, […]
Another classic ‘me moment’ on the plane home from Mexico this week…. In an attempt to read my magazine, I manically tried to twist my reading light on, announcing it’s not working. The beautiful woman next to me gives me a look like, “are you a dim wit?” and hits the button above the light […]
If most people are like me which I’m assuming they are…….New Years is approaching, holidays are behind you ,and that hopeful anxiety of a new year arriving begins to bubble. I’m going to guess a lot of you this weekend will find yourself with pen and paper writing down a list, a list of how […]
