Oh man - I am so excited to finally write my first blog post! To bring everyone up to speed and to introduced myself to those who don't know me...

My name is Lauren - I'm originally from Michigan, went to college in Miami (go 'canes!) lived in Chicago for a while and have finally settled in San Francisco. I have a fantastic husband, Dave, and a sweet pup named Huey Lewis... honestly... he is so cute... his ears are the biggest things on earth :) I've worked as a teacher, at the Make A Wish Foundation and most recently, at a few start ups in SF. I love to travel, adore yoga, love dogs more than most humans, and wine is my favorite thing.

 Over the past few months a few things happened:

• I decided to quit my job of 2 years at a super cool but very stressful start-up
• I booked a month long yoga retreat in Thailand and a bunch of other travel along with it
• My last day at my job came and went
• I had a sweet going away party and my favorite Karaoke Bar in SF
• I travelled a bit in Europe with my husband and best friends
• I'm currently home for a week in between trips to snuggle on my dog and get my life in order
• Leaving in 4 days for my month in Thailand :)
• I'M SO EXCITED!

I hope you enjoy following along on my journey and I hope to inspire some of you all to follow your heart and take a leap, whatever that may be. I am a weird mix of terrified, excited, thrilled and worried all at the same time as I've never travelled alone and am sort of a needy person by nature... but hopefully I'll make some friends and will enjoy this very out-of-my-comfort-zone process.

I'm planning to start a little yoga biz when I return from my travels, whenever that may be... hence the rest of this website :) Until then, just ignore the rest of this site and enjoy the blog!

I'll post here, youtube or instagram every day as wifi permits - so be sure to subscribe, Like, etc if you want to keep up with my adventure!
