“Be Yourself; Everyone else is already taken” – Oscar Wild
Live out Loud – ( Urban Dictionary Defintion) “Being yourself, your true, genuine, authentic, open, trustworthy, with sauce, and spice self. Living on purpose. Loving others and yourself. Living passionately for your values, no matter what! Letting others see your light shine, and not being scared to be different or worry about others opinions of you. Living a life, you’re excited about, with purpose on your own terms”.
When I think of these three simple words…live, out, loud, I think of an amazing teacher, leader, mentor, friend, mother, and so much more. Her name is Joan Dwyer. She is the creator of All That Matters yoga studio. Joan has so much beautiful energy… she is the true definition of living her life out loud and I absoltuely loved being in her presence and she was and still is a big inspiration to me. She spoke about living your purpose, staying on your path, but most importantly was the importance of just being your one true self and to live out loud!!!!
Think about this definition? What does it mean to you? Are you Living out Loud?
We ALL want happiness! We ALL want to be healhier! We ALL want to be loved for who we truly are! WHO YOU ARE MATTERS!!!
Bloom where you are planted and make a committment to yourself…work from the inside out!

I certainly do not live out loud. I hold back often. I tend to play small in certain siutaions and I shut my ideas down because I’m afraid of what others may or may not say about me. This is me… and it’s ok!
It’s never to late to start to live out loud. First step, get to know who you are, who you really are…All of you! I’m still learning more and more about my myself everyday. All of me. I am who and I am…and I am learning to appreciate and really fall in love with me.
From my heart to yours… sending you Love & Light,
