My family and friends are already aware of my fascination with trees...I am the tree hugging ballerina(insider). I do find myself using tree analogies very often, especially when it comes to things having to do with knowledge. So here is how I look at it: I am a tree, full of life. I have seven major areas, or branches, that in my quest for ultimate wellness, I believe weave together to make me the individual that I am.

- Physical
- Emotional
- Social
- Intellectual
- Spiritual
- Environmental
- Occupational
If you search the Internet for the elements of wellness, most of the time you will find that some will use environmental, others will use occupational, making a total of six elements. However, I believe that both elements are equally important to my journey, so I chose an image that lists seven elements.
Those who know me personally know that over the past year, I have been adamant about gaining financial freedom. Having recently graduated from Hofstra University in 2012, it has been somewhat of a struggle trying to find my place in the occupational world, while also trying not to become overwhelmed with the student loan and credit card debt that I accumulated over the course of those four years. However, after a lot of self reflection, I discovered that I was so adamant about my financial wellness that I neglected myself in all of the other areas. So now I start my quest for knowledge, balancing all of these elements, growing into the well rounded, strong woman that I know I can be.
