Life Is A Highway

When my sister Andrea passed away a group of friends and family went out to a local bar the next night after her funeral. The funeral itself was a beautiful tribute to her and to life, but it was still a funeral. 

We decided that we wanted to have a night to truly celebrate her and celebrate life itself. We drank, we danced, we laughed, we smiled, and we celebrated life together with the energy of our own memories of my sister. 

The song we dedicated to her was Life is a Highway and we rocked the place when it came on!  The love and life energy that flowed through each of us as we thought about Andrea and embraced our own lives was truly a beautiful thing. Every time I hear that song a huge smile creeps across my face no matter what I’m doing.


If you think about it, life really is a highway. There are opportunities to turn along the way, and we’re the ones who get to choose which direction to go. We get to decide how fast or slow, and when we want to stop to check out the scenery, or pick somebody up for the ride. 

Where do you want to go? 
How do you want to get there? 
Who do you want to have in your life for the ride? 

It’s all up to you. 

As a life coach, yoga teacher and wellbeing mentor, I know this to be true. As my client or student, I help you decide if you want to take the exit before you, or wait for another. I support you, so you can support yourself to have the best ride of your life. 

Remember, no matter what choices we make or how fast or slow we choose to go, it’s ALL worth the ride on the highway of life! I can’t wait to help you enjoy the ride and remember this is your life and it’s up to you. One of the reasons I enjoy coaching so much is I get to watch while people take the steering wheel and “hit the road” with joy and excitement the way life is meant to be lived!
