Letโs expand on a post from earlier this weekโฆ๐ #GalentinesDay is all about celebrating the incredible women in our lives who uplift, support, and inspire us. Female friendships arenโt just about fun, theyโre a source of strength, encouragement, and joy.
Whether itโs a friend who always has your back, a mentor who guides you, or a group of women who make you feel unstoppable, these connections shape our lives in the best ways.
I am truly grateful for all my friendships – thank you ladies for always being there for me in more ways than one!
Take a moment today to show love to the amazing women in your circle. Send a message, plan a get-together, or simply remind them how much they mean to you. #happygalentinesday

Later this week is not only Valentine`s Day, but is also Galentine`s Day and strong female friendships do more than brighten our days. They strengthen our hearts and build a sense of community. Surrounding yourself with people who support, uplift, and inspire you can reduce stress, boost happiness, and even improve overall well-being.

Today, Iโm wearing red in support of womenโs heart health! The first Friday of February is National Wear Red Day, a reminder to prioritize our heart health. With small, mindful changes, we can reduce the risk of heart disease and take better care of ourselves.
Here are a few simple ways to keep your heart strong:
โค๏ธ Move your body in ways you enjoy
๐ฅ Choose heart-healthy foods
๐ค Prioritize rest
๐งโโ๏ธ Manage stress with mindfulness
๐ฉบ Stay on top of regular checkups
Join me in raising awareness. Letโs protect our hearts and our health! If you are wearing red today, tag me in your photos, I would love to see them.

Did you know that love, friendship, and a strong sense of community can activate your bodyโs immune system and even influence your genes? Being surrounded by love – whether through romantic relationships, friendships, or community – boosts your dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, enhancing happiness and well-being. Strong relationships donโt just feel good – theyโre good for you! Here are 3 key benefits:
-Cuddling reduces stress and strengthens immunity.
-Positive social interactions lower cortisol and boost serotonin.
-Spending time with loved ones strengthens the heart and extends lifespan.
But longevity isnโt just about relationships – it starts with self-love. Accepting yourself at every stage of life and prioritizing self-care leads to better emotional and physical health. When we nurture self-love, we make healthier choices, improve resilience, and embrace life more fully.
Invest in love – within and around you – for a longer, healthier, and happier life!

As we close out the month, let`s take a moment to reflect – how have you upgraded yourself? As February approaches, letโs turn the focus inward. True success isnโt defined by external milestones such as getting married, owning the perfect home, making a certain amount of money, or landing the dream job. Itโs about the power of your mindset.
What if we approached life a little differently? Instead of trying to "get over" things that happen, how about shifting your perspective to simply reflect on them? That small change in language can create a massive shift in your mindset. Itโs not about avoiding challenges or moving past them quickly; itโs about the power you gain when you take time to process, learn, and grow from each experience.
When you invest in yourself – you create something no one can take away. Remind yourself, that every day is a special occasion and waking up in the morning is a gift. Success isnโt about what you have – itโs about how you feel about yourself and how you show up for yourself each day. This is what makes for a fulfilled, empowered life. Because, when you prioritize YOU, you show up better for those around you.
As the quote says: โ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต ๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ง ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏโ๐ต ๐ต๐ข๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ธ๐ข๐บ ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ. ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ด๐ฆ๐ต, ๐ค๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ, ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐บ, ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ด๐ฑ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ค๐บ, ๐ค๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ. ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ด ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ญ ๐ถ๐ฑ๐จ๐ณ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฆ.โ
So, ask yourself: how will you shift your mindset next month to make yourself a priority? It`s all within you – your power, your growth, your change. The key lies in how you choose to think about what happens. Reflect, learn, and grow.

Howโs 2025 treating you so far? I`d love to check in!
Weโre already a few weeks into the new year. How are those SMART goals that we discussed earlier this month coming along? Growth is all about progress, not perfection. Remember, just take it one step at a time.
๐๐ฎ๐ข๐๐ค ๐ญ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฉ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฒ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ซ๐๐๐ค:
โ Reflect: Whatโs working? What needs adjusting?
โ Recommit: Remind yourself why you set this goal.
โ Celebrate: Small wins build momentum.
As you continue working toward your intentions, donโt forget to show yourself kindness. Lifeโs curveballs can make growth unpredictable, but every step forward counts! If things havenโt gone exactly as planned, thatโs okay. The important thing is to keep moving forward.
For more inspiration, revisit my article in the Long Island Press and Danโs Papers: ๐in bio – page 56.

As we say goodbye to the holiday season and hello to a fresh start, itโs time to set intentions for the year ahead. Resolutions might seem overrated, but they can help you focus on growth – when done right!
Hereโs the secret: make your goals SMART:
โ Specific: Name your goal clearly (ex: Cook breakfast daily)
โ Measurable: Track progress to stay motivated (ex: Save $1,500)
โ Achievable: Break it into steps for daily wins
โ Relevant: Align goals with what matters to you
โ Timely: Set deadlines for accountability
Tip: Visualize success. Imagine your best self living those goals, thriving physically, mentally, and emotionally. And as we embrace the possibilities of the new year, letโs remember how precious life is. Every moment is an opportunity to grow, connect, and cherish what truly matters.
Letโs make those resolutions a reality! Whatโs your SMART goal for 2025? Comment below!

May the New Year bring love to your heart, health to your mind and body, and peace and joy to your soul. Staying healthy doesnโt have to be complicated or expensive. This year, letโs focus on mindful intentions rather than lofty resolutions. Here are a few simple steps to start the journey:
โ
Cut Back on Sugar: Begin with small changes. Swap sugary drinks for water or herbal teas.
โ
Walk Daily: Even 15-20 minutes of fresh air can boost your mood and keep you moving. If itโs too cold outside, walking on a treadmill will do the trick too.
โ
Prioritize Sleep: Create a bedtime routine, avoid screens before bed, and aim for 7โ8 hours of quality rest.
When you embrace the simplicity of being health-conscious organically, youโll realize the greatest wealth isnโt materialโฆ itโs a healthy body, a peaceful mind, and meaningful relationships that make your soul shine.
If your habits donโt change, you wonโt have a New Yearโฆ youโll just have another year.
With that being said, letโs keep it simple and intentional this year. Whatโs one small step youโll start today? Share below!

Wonderful time at @egcgroup 39th annual holiday celebration at The Mansion at Oyster Bay ๐โค๏ธ …
Whatโs your wish when lighting a candle with soulful wishes through the holidays?
As we reflect on our soulful purpose and meaning during the holidays, letโs reflect when lighting a candle to carry a soulful meaning of representing hope, warmth, love, and light of the spirit, signifying a connection to something greater than oneself, and reflect on the inner light within us. Candles serve as a reminder to share this light with others and cultivate a sense of peace and togetherness.
When lighting a candle with soulful wishes, you might want to bring your intentions and soulful wishes by saying:
Intention Setting: Inner Peace and Tranquility
May this candle bring serenity to my mind and soul. When lighting a candle, one can focus on a specific desire, prayer, or goal, infusing the flame with the energy of their intention.
Connection to the Divine: Guidance and Clarity
Let this light guide me towards the right decisions illuminating my path forward. Across many spiritual traditions, candles are used a s a way to connect with a higher power, creating a space for prayer and meditation.
Remembrance and Honoring: Healing and Comfort
May this candle bring warmth and comfort to those in need. As the wax melts, may my worries dissolve. Lighting a candle can also be a way to remember loved ones who have passed, signifying their continued presence in spirit. With each gentle glow to find inner peace in mind , body and soul.
Self-Care and Mindfulness: Gratitude and Appreciation
I send love and healing energy with this burning light. The act of lighting a candle can also be a mindful practice, encouraging one to be present in the moment and appreciate the simple beauty of our inner soulful light. I am grateful for the blessings in my life.
May my loved ones be safe protected from harm and be well.

Whether itโs a big family celebration or a small gathering with your closest friends, connecting with those you love is the most important part of the holidays. Remember, self-care means knowing when to ask for help. Lean on your loved ones, share the load, and cherish the support they provide.
