"If your time to you 
Is worth savin' 
Then you better start swimmin' 
Or you'll sink like a stone 
For the times they are a-changin'. "

I'm an open book. I don't like to cover up times of struggle, sacrifice or celebration. This thing called life is a long, long road - with curves and unexpected cliffs that we all must face. I have chosen to face the latest hurdle with integrity, transparency and love. The past few months have undergone many changes, personally and professionally, and I've decided MY 2013 is a year of renewal and rebirth. Figgy and I have moved to a lovely home near a vast lake, JVP Media is as strong as ever with the opportunity to work on many high-profile fashion & lifestyle accounts (thanks to Beverly Hills-based PR firm, P3R!) and the outpouring of love and friendship encompassing my life never ceases to amaze me.

Thank you for continuing to follow my journey. 

xoxo

This past weekend, I went through a deeply personal and transformative three day period. I am inspired by myself and the other women who shared the experience with me. It brings a lot of clarity to my life. Below is a quote that sums up, for me, a greater purpose. A big thank you to Whitney, Beroz and the 11 other enlightened spirits that showed tremendous strength and resiliency among strangers.
