What is a Hurray Vacay?

A “Hurray Vacay” is not just a trip, or a vacation. It’s a state of being.

Think about when you’re on vacation. You feel light, free, unburdened, adventurous, healthy, loved, and cared for. And while getting away from it all and taking a trip somewhere is one way to achieve this state of being, there are many many many more ways that have the same affect.

In fact, you can have a Hurray Vacay anywhere and at anytime.

You can declare this afternoon a Hurray Vacay. You can take a vacay in your mind. You can add some hurray to your day. You can embody that feeling of living life while on vacation at any moment. Even with the kids screaming, deadlines calling, dishes piling up, and your wallet empty.

Not only do you deserve some vacay – girl, you need it. And the people in your life need you to take one, too. You can only love and take care of those around you as much as you love and take care of yourself.

Whether it’s a 5 minute or 5 week trip, you can take a step toward living your life like aHurray Vacay.

I’m inviting you to take steps toward self care, ease, adventure, rest, travel, exploring, learning, and pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. Come with me on my Hurray Vacays around the world and in my very own home. I hope that you’ll be inspired to take your very own Hurray Vacay!

Because we all deserve some “hurray” and a little “vacay“.

How to Date Yourself (Whether or Not You Have a Partner)

I have been in a committed, monogamous relationship with a wonderful man since 2006. That's over a decade, folks. When people talk about long term relationships and marriages, they often say "don't forget to keep dating each other" or "keep things fresh" or "try new...

The Pros & Cons of Wearing Thongs

Thongs. No, I'm not talking about flip flops. I'm talking about the kind of underwear that Sisqo sang about in "Thong Song". (Woooow throwback, right there.) I'm talking about the kind of underwear with no back except for a small piece of material that nestles itself...

How to Lovingly Reveal Yourself

There's a shift happening. Can you feel it? It includes a level of transparency, of vulnerability, of revealing the truth. It started with things like reality TV and social media - which have backfired into a scripted reality and only sharing perfect images and what...

Reflecting Back and Looking Forward

Someone very dear to me admitted something tough: she hates New Year's Eve. She said she often cries during the countdown. And when friends say "oh, you're crying because you're so happy!" she is actually crying because she's upset. When I asked why, she really...
