Sending you my love and…

Wow, have I ever been thinking of you! I have missed our weekly connection. How ARE you?

My family and I have found a routine that feels good. I struggle the odd day with not having as much alone time as my introvert self requires, but all in all my little family and I have bonded on a very beautiful level – I am truly grateful.

As for work, I just finished up my second YouTube Series called FIND YOUR INNER FRENCH GIRL: How to Love YOU & YOUR LIFE. It was such a joy for me to film every day and read the private and public comments (more than I have ever received!) from women around the world who enjoyed it too. YAY!

I know this unprecedented time has taken its toll on everyone. In small and big ways…and you know what? We are going to emerge from this cocoon like butterflies.

Many of us were moving through our lives as caterpillars, wishing for growth in some area, and what I can tell you, is that if you have chosen to learn something about yourself throughout this time, you will emerge from this cocoon better than ever.

I know it may not feel like it now, yet I promise you that the profound energy I predicted at the start of 2020, is going to continue after this pandemic…ready & better able to support you now that you will have elevated your energy.

Have you found the blessings in this experience? 

Have you learned something about yourself?

Have you made new decisions about the way you are going to live your life going forward?

If not, perhaps my email next week will help you.

For now, please know that I keep you in my daily meditations and I can’t wait to emerge from this experience with you…better than ever.

I love you! xo

How France Taught Me to Love Myself

Ahhhh la France!

How can I count the number of gifts it bestowed upon me? One of the grandest being self-love.

When you do a google search on self-love you will find videos, blogs, quotes, and podcasts speaking about WHY we need self-love, but what I have always found missing was the HOW.

HOW do we love ourselves?

I’ll never forget a memory: me in my early twenties, refusing to spontaneously go dancing with my group of friends.

Now, I LOVE dancing! It wasn’t that I didn’t want to dance, I DID! What stopped me in my tracks was that I didn’t feel confident enough in myself, have enough self-love & self-acceptance, to walk in there and just dance my heart out…while wearing jeans and a T-Shirt.

Instead, I got very upset with my friends who were “pressuring” me to go. I turned it on THEM and was so hurt that they were not being understanding.

(See how we spin things to suit our ego/limiting beliefs?)

The next day I went over to my much older friend’s house and shared my woes, hoping she would agree with my allegations. She didn’t.

We got into a very looooooong discussion and then I asked her, “How do you know what your style is? You always seem so self-confident.”

Her answer? “I don’t know. I just do.”

Not very helpful, right?

This really sent me on a self-love pilgrimage. In 1997-1998 I found myself in France; a country where self-love comes easier. Not for everyone, but there is something ingrained in the women that served me SO well…and I want to share it with you in today’s video.

With SO Much Love,

3 Tricks to EASILY Eat HEALTHY, HIGH VIBRATION Foods

So, I’m prepping dinner, listening to my Parisian Jazz music and then… it comes time to prepare the salad. Oh man!

Have you ever really wanted a salad but even the thought of dragging the lettuce out, washing it, spinning it, chopping it just seemed like too much work?

Ok, maybe you buy the pre-washed lettuce now so it’s not such a big deal, but what about the other vegetables like broccoli, or how about lunch? Is it just me or is lunch your least favorite meal to prepare too?

All this being said, my body ADORES eating healthy, high vibration foods.

Four years ago my body only wanted plant-based foods, and as I evolve spiritually, it just wants more and more of only plants and plant-based foods.

You know how this Universe works, right? When you become more high vibe you attract more of what is on that high frequency. My energy was making me crave the high vibrations foods and rejecting the low vibration ones – naturally!

It’s all good, but what this meant was that I had to get a bit more strategic in having these foods readily accessible so that giving my body what it desired was simple & easy.

In this week’s video, I’m going to share the 3 tricks that I do weekly to ensure that eating healthy, high vibration foods is simple & enjoyable. Ready to learn my ritual? Watch the video below.

 

 

In this video, you will learn:

  • My strategy for quickly planning my meals for the week
  • How I’ve made grocery shopping super quick & convenient (and more affordable)
  • My simple tricks for having grab-and-go, high vibration foods on hand.

 

With so much love,

DISCOVER EXACTLY WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE! *Things I’ve never shared before!*

I went shopping for new clothes this week and it was fun! Why?

Because I know what clothes are my style and which colours are ME.

In my early 20’s I had no clue what my signature style was. I admired women who did though.

I remember sitting on a friend’s balcony one afternoon (she was about 10 years older than me) and asking her, “How do you know what your style is?”

Her answer? “I don’t know, I just do.”

Oh how I wished she had a better answer as I wanted to have an air about me like she did.

I wanted to feel confident, like a woman with presence. But instead I felt completely out of touch with who I was and consequently never attracted anything into my life that I truly wanted.

When I lived in France all that changed. I found my style. I OWNED my style, and consequently I had tremendous confidence and finally felt like a woman who had that je ne sais quoi.

And you know what? Even though I had horrendous acne and weighed 20 extra pounds I was sought after by so many incredible men!

Now, it wasn’t just my style. I had really embraced my love of France, the French language and the culture. It was simply a part of me. I was a Francophile through and through.

I also deepened my Spiritual practice and accepted so many other things about myself.

This whole month of February I’ve been focusing on self love, self confidence & self worth and one thing I know for SURE is that it is imperative that we rediscover what makes us unique and special. Because when we do we allow ourselves to be exactly who we were created to be and we start to glow from the inside out.

We also have effortless confidence and are empowered to go out into the world and express who we are in everything we do. And with this we experience elegant success in many areas of our life.

I’d like to share with you some things you may not know about me; some things that make me unique and things I love & accept about myself. And I’ll show you how to discover your uniqueness too!

 

 

In this video you will learn:

  • 4 unique things about me (Surprise!)
  • how to get in touch with what makes YOU unique
  • why knowing how you are unique is so important (without this you’ll simply blend in, unable to attract the partner, body, job, clients & success you desire)

 

With so much love,
