Yogi

Ok here is a personal share.

I posted about  YOGI, the gas station attendant earlier this week, who made my day.  (see him on my #instagram http://instagram.com/p/pmFQWIAjKb/)
What a remarkable young man.  I interestingly, I met him last night, at a DIFFERENT gas station, one I never go to, but HAD to detour, as I was UNDER E !!!!!  Seriously....when will I learn.  But that is a whole different story.
I was SO surprised. It was late and I was on my way from running track for the first time (yup).  It brought great laughs and jokes to us, and when I showed him his picture, and told him I posted it on Facebook, he was SO excited.  Immediately, his other Indian friends, and fellow attendants at the gas stations, all gathered around us that, "#Yogi is now famous on Facebook...."  Wow.  My heart and spirit were churned at the sight, it was like a movie scene.  It made me feel humbled and so privileged to have lived the life I have so far all parts of it, and what it had shaped me into so far.

Well, I am not a Native to Canada ,I moved here some time ago and I KNOW what it is like to go somewhere you leap out to, because you HOPE and somewhere deep down, KNOW there is a chance for a BETTER LIFE.

Is it easy?  Not at all.
Is it simple?  Nope.
Is it full of challenges? Yes.
Is it always good? No.

There are so many questions and Yes/No's I could post here. But the point is, this young man and his friends, who work 7 days a week and 'dont have time for yoga' LOL ( I busted them) reminded me of the true value of humility, and what matters. The leap we take, and are willing to work for a better life, and while days, weeks, sometimes moths can go by, when nothing works out, when things are scary, dark and so on, there is a part of you who simply KNOWS.  THAT is the part of you that carries on.  The one despite all yoru crazy attempts to END and give up, wakes up, again and again.....

And you simply obey, you simply trust this part of you and carry on.   The triggers ARE part of your TEST.  The journey is part of your TEST, or the TEST is part of your journey.  How you take the tests eventually becomes your journey.  Will you give up?
Will you give in?
Will you stop?
Is there a cap on how many times?

Or will you continue your journey, the fight the battles?
Are you willing to lose a battle, or a hundres, so you ultimately win the WAR--the war of your old self, facing the one you are CALLED to become for the LIFE of YOUR DREAMS to be had.

Thanks for reading friends.  DO make friends with those crazy Indians at the gas stations, they are so much fun :) and teach us SO MUCH.

Shiny Soul

Want glowing skin, and more? 

Consider these easy tips:

WATER
Drink more water to allow for hydration, detox, proper assimilation and organ function. Which collectively will lessen stresses of the work our cells do ongoing.

VITAMIN D
Yes. The wonder drug.  Make sure this is Vitamin D3 form. Grab this from my portal: Vitamin D.

FAT
Incorporate more hormone-balancing fats into your diet.  Use a high grade, stand alone Omega 3 supplement, or one included in a complete daily multi vitamin pack. Food sources such as coconut oil, avocado, raw nuts and seeds that you can also soak.  Raw butter, organic grass fed ghee or egg yolks are also only some excellent sources of healthy fats.  High fat fish, salmon, mackerel, herring are a few high quality fish sources of Omega 3.

AVOCADO
Is also known as God's butter.  Very versatile and a daily part of my diet.

SUNSCREEN
I definitely recommend using a high quality sunblock at least SPF 15. Seek professional advice in picking the right one for you, and your family.  During the summer, and most of the year, I don't go outdoors without sunscreen.

SUNGLASSES
Protect your eyes as well, and well, see :)  It helps. 

There are many more tips, these are only a few I consider 'must'

Above all, love your life.  Feed your Soul.  Do mirror work (YES!!!).  Find things, experiences, cultivate relationships that feed your life.  Release everything and everyone, who may cloud your experience.  Get outdoors, enjoy the weather, the sun, and take excellent care of yourself every day. 

E-Squared

No matter at where you stand Re the 'Our Thoughts Create Our Reality' idea, E-Squared by Pam Grout, will be a treat.  I just received this book at the point in my life I am before major life changes.  Excited to embark on the journey of this #1 New York Times Bestseller: Don't face reality. Create reality! 

E-Squared could best be described as a lab manual with simple examples of proofs that reality is malleable.

Consciousness trumps matter. You shape your life with your mind. The experiments in E-Squared, show that spiritual principles are as dependable as gravity, as consistent as Newton's laws of motion. Get excited.  Prepare to be blown away--by your own life.

Taste your own capacity of Infinite Potentiality and see how you can manifest an unexpected gifts. The 9 E-Squared principles are:

1. There is an invisible energy force or field of infinite possibilities. 
2. You impact the field and draw from it according to your beliefs and expectations. 
3. You, too, are a field of energy. 
4. Whatever you focus on expands. 
5. Your connection to the field provides accurate and unlimited guidance. 
6. Your thoughts and consciousness impact matter. 
7. Your thoughts and consciousness provide the scaffolding for your physical body. 
8. You are connected to everything and everyone else in the universe. 
9. The universe is limitless, abundant, and strangely accommodating. 

Try any of the nine easy experiments in this book to prove that there really is a positive, loving, totally hip force in the Universe that’s listening to your every word and that’s ready to rock your world.

More ENERGY naturally instantly

We are used to see all the energy pills, drinks, coffees, teas, bars....anything you want promising you to rocket off the planet and become invincible.  Nobody mentions the post-effects of crash and burn :)

Is there an alternative?  What can make us high, energized, alert, vital and well?

Water.  Drink lots of water.  Daily, 2-4 liters.

How much water are you drinking?
Are you drinking enough?

Water can miraculously increase energy, reduce stress, detox, assimilate...  SO many things that WILL improve your life overall.  Being well-hydrated can shift you to a higher, and better place in your life, where you will naturally strive.

Cheers!!!!

Loyalty is a Choice

The most destructive of weapons is not the spear or the siege cannon, which can wound a body and demolish a wall.
The most terrible of all weapons is the word, which can ruin a life without leaving a trace of blood, and whose wounds never heal.

Let us, then, be the masters of our tongue and not the slaves of our words.
Even if words are used against us, let us not enter a battle that cannot be won.
The moment we place ourselves on the same level as some vile adversary, we will be fighting in the dark, and the only winner will be the Lord of Darkness.

Loyalty is a pearl among grains of sand, and only those who really understand its meaning can see it.

Thus the Sower of Discord can pass the same spot a thousand times and never see the little jewel that keeps together those who need to remain united.

Loyalty can never be imposed by force, fear, insecurity or intimidation.
It is a choice that only strong spirits have the courage to make.

And because it is a choice, it will never tolerate betrayal, but will always be generous with mistakes.
And because it is a choice, it withstands time and passing conflicts.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holy-Days of every kind, Here's one way

If you feel drawn, let it enter your Being, releasing any old ideas of constriction or limitation and returning Your true essence as expansive, radiant Light.

"Divine Beloved, Change Me into someone
who can give with complete ease and abundance,
knowing You are the unlimited Source of All.

Let me be an easy open conduit for Your prosperity.
Let me trust that all of my own needs are
always met in amazing ways
and it is safe to give freely as my heart guides me.

And equally, please Change Me into someone
who can feel wildly open to receiving.
Let me know my own value, beauty and
worthiness without question.
Let me allow others the supreme pleasure of giving to me.
Let me feel worthy to receive in every possible way.

And let me extend kindness to all who need,
feeling compassion and understanding
in even the hardest situations.

Change me into One who can fully love, forgive
and accept myself... so I may carry your Light
without restriction.

Let everything that needs to go, go.
Let everything that needs to come, come.
I am utterly Your own.

You are Me.
I am You.
We are One.

All is well.

Feeling Beautiful: How to Upgrade Your Body Image For Vibrant Health and Vitality

Online Event with Dr. Christiane Northrup 

Register Now! Only $97!
Or, receive this course for FREE when you purchase Beautiful Girl

Our sense of ourselves and our worthiness which is imprinted from our parents and culture (beginning in utero or even before) profoundly affects our health and our immunity. This is because our self-image affects our sense of safety and security and sense of belonging —both of which wire in the health of our bones and blood.

If you are raising a daughter, niece, or granddaughter, this information can be transformational. But what if you, as an adult, didn’t have a mother who felt good about herself? What if your mother wasn't able to pass on positive messages about the wonders of her body? What if she projected her own fears of being feminine on you? What if she taught you to be afraid of your period, or criticized your breast size, or taught you to be afraid of your sexuality? Then what?

In this special 2-hour Live Online Event, Dr. Christiane Northrup will provide you with a seven-pointFeeling Beautiful program for transforming your relationship with your body! Through interactive teaching, exercises and Q&A, Dr. Northrup will help you upgrade your body image. And as a result, you’ll be able to pass on better health and a positive body image to all the women in your life.

Skinny Snow Flake: Your Weekly Winter Waist Watcher, Vol.5: The DESIRE MAP

Skinny Snow Flake: Your Weekly Winter Waist Watcher, Vol.1: Eating Well

A fundamental aspect to great health is learning how to provide our bodies with the highest quality nutrition, in the right amounts.  With an abundance of resources of great variety of information available, this task is as challenging as it gets.  We are solely responsible for what goes into our bodies, so we better start paying attention.  A simple rule of thumb may be, if it grows live, eat it, if it does not, do not eat it.  Still confused?  Look at what you are about tot eat and the form it is in, is it close to how it would occur in it's natural state.  If yes, eat it, if not, well.....it is LEGO, play with it, but do not eat it!  

Fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains grow organically.  Processed, canned, man-altered foods are not life-sustaining, no matter what the label may say, or how well the presentation tempts your saliva to start overstimulating.  Nature and life has already provided us with everything we need to feed ourselves and to live with abundant health. The simpler we eat, the healthier we’ll be.

A sweet affirmation: I listen to my body and lovingly respond to its needs—giving it just the right amount of food, rest, and exercise.

Only 33 days to go, there must be some BIG anticipation built up and even more hunger to finish strong.  Do you want to know the secret to fitness success?  Here it goes.
Those people who look great, carry themselves with strength, grace, and ease, all know the secret.  Those, who seem to 'own the room' as they enter, they are alert, they always seem to have energy, use better language, better word choices etc. share one thing in common: they care about themselves.  They know they need to fuel their days, their performance the right way: through movement.  
The most successful people are likely to exercise first thing in the morning.  They get a strong start, they energize and focus first thing in the morning, while the majority is still snoozing.  The winners are already up paving the way to the success of the given day--no matter what.  They have trained themselves, their minds, their bodies to wake up earlier, work out with intensity, and get out there to seize the day. 


Are you one of them?  If not, start today.  Check out TRUESTAR Health for all your needs to get you up and on with a customized plan for you.  Also, while there, check out TRUESTAR's award winning vitamins and organic supplements to really tweak your performance.

Sugars

With the weather cooling down, we are naturally more drawn to sugary foods for comfort and quick energy.  Which, is most cases, is not so smart.  In addition to causing weight gain, refined flours and sugars can suppress immune-system function. Ie. with flus and colds being more frequent in the air, indulging in more white sugar (cookies, pop, candy, etc.), you're creating the perfect environment for illness to strike.  

Turn to naturally occurring sugars found in fruit for some sweetness.  If you crave chocolate, go for dark chocolate(minimum 70 per cent cocoa), which contains plant phenols that have been shown to lower blood pressure. Cut up squares and store them in your freezer.  Grab one or two when you need a sweet treat.

Even better, try TRUELean Extreme, the Multi Vitamin & Mineral formula, that also supports weight & fat-loss, controls cravings, supports metabolism, so you are *armed* in the face of all temptations-with an edge :)

I have met with some amazing very successful people recently.

Day 13/90 Mission 'YOUR 2011 Christmas Six-Pack'

13/90  of the Mission 'YOUR 2011 Christmas Six-Pack'


13 is my favourite number.  For me, it holds a kind of power.  I.e. the power of, 'do whatever you feel is best' with it.  The number 13, typically holds mystery.   It is the symbol of the unknown.  Hence, the number 13 brings with it, the temptation to react and resent it in fear.  It also holds the allure of curiosity, that is asking your inner power to 'stay with it,' move towards it, into it, until you reveal it.  That is exactly like your inner power.  Are you afraid of it?  Are you in touch with it?  Are you aware of it, and able to consciously use it, for your own benefit? 


On this day, day 13, I challenge you to tap into your deepest potential, and yank it onto the surface. Time to team up with the best within.  You can do it!  Actually, you have been doing it!!!!


Nothing has changed.....

A woman's worth

I had, what I'd call a spark of an eye-opening moment of truth, yesterday.  I was walking in nature, like I often do, contemplating the different physical appearances of people.  I.e. the bodies, what they reflect, what I can read when I look at a person's body (including my own), personal beliefs, self/body image etc.  As it is known, my journey to my diverse activities today, all started due to being 50+ lbs over weight 10+ years ago.  Yes.   Since I can recall, I always battled with the pounds, feeling good, believing I was beautiful, knowing I was in healthy shape, most importantly, that what I looked like was NOT necessarily equal to my actual worth, as a person, and so much more.

Fitness, beauty, wellness, health are not over-night changes, or the matter of switching things ON, or OFF.  These are all life-long refining of what we believe about ourselves, that changes daily, as we go.  Whose cumulative effects only can be seen when one reflects on one's journey.

Having said that, I have not always done the healthiest, most perfect practices, to try to 'measure up' to the expectations of the world I lived in, and hence created.  However, as I knew better, I have always done better.  This has never been more true, than now.  I realized this yesterday, through my own body, and my reflection on my own journey through and with it.  The beauty of it all is, that at this time of my life, I am in better shape, physically, and spiritually, than at any of the times I was competing, on stage, in the spot-light, and so on.  The reason for that is, that I now do all of what I do, for me, the highest within me!!!!  Not for reasons outside of me; i.e. a competition, an appearance, a photo shoot, someone else, who may have been displeased with me, my appearance, etc.  Trust me, of those, there had been many.

At this time in my life, I do it all, and more, for me.  I spend my time being closer, and closer to my bliss, and actually creating that.  It is a slow, and details process of amazing transformation what I am about and who I am being and becoming.  It is the intertwining perfectionist dance of the past, and the present; some hesitance, and a lot of courageous moving forth into the unknown life has to offer.  Hence, as I allow, I meet amazing people, and enclose in my heart, more, and more amazing experiences.

Knowing that no matter what I had to endure at certain points of my life, no matter how hard it seemed at times, all served me to gather and gain a lot of self worth.  All those experiences as I am learning of myself today, have made me stronger, better, have taught me to expect more and more of myself, and not to put up with anything, or anyone less, than what makes me happy.

For the world another's appearance, may only be captured as a pretty face, a sexy body, a beautiful picture.  Unless you can see the whole picture of one's being,  you will never know how remarkable a person truly IS, as a whole.

Powerful Beyond Measure

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

From the book, 

"A Return to Love," by Marianne Williamson

     

Real Love + Money

As I watch a documentary on the Royal couples, and their underlying values, as those are acted out into real life, a thought came to mind.  These couples are beautiful to look at, and have a very strong sense of relational basis, few can relate to.  NONE of such values shared within these couples, result from games, and fear based prenups, and other drama.  They are all about self-resepct acted out, due-diligence and time taken to know who the other is, and what they themselves wanted; yes even into the sexual and monetary aspect of their joint lives.

Gorgeous girl.  Handsome, and classy guy. Not only the entire country backs them up.  But the entire world is inspired by their truth, their love, the wealth and quality of life they are committed to living and creating together.

Here is to Royal Love and Money.  It is possible.  Why accept less!
