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 feel I need to take a break from filming for a while, however, I have some pre-filmed content that I think you are REALLY going to enjoy, so I will let you know when each of those videos are released, okay?

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

For the Cream Cheese Topping

2 large packages (total 500g) of full-fat cream cheese (dairy or coconut)

170 g unsalted butter, softened

1 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Method:

Beat the cream cheese and butter until completely smooth.

Add the honey/maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract and beat together. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour or two.

For the Cake

2 1/4 cups 9260g) white spelt flour (or any white flour)

1 cup (100g) unsweetened flaked coconut

1 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp Himalayan salt (or regular salt is fine)

1tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground cloves

1 cup + 2tbsp (270ml) coconut oil, melted (can use vegetable oil instead)

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

3 tbsp honey

2 packed cups (200g) of grated carrots

1 cup (226 g) crushed pineapple (can buy pineapple in the can and quickly blend to a crushed texture)

1 cup (140g) raisins

Optional: 1 cup (110g) walnuts, chopped

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 C | 350 F.

Grease and flour a 9 X 13” pan.

Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, spices and coconut in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.

Mix the oil and eggs in a measuring jug and pour into the flour mixture.

Mix together with a wooden spoon. Add the honey, carrot, pineapple and mix once more until all the ingredients are well combined and no dry pockets are present.

Add the raisins (and walnuts if using) and fold into the batter.

Pour into the greased & floured pan and smooth until it’s all level.

Bake for 30 minutes for a fan (convection oven or 35-40 minutes for a regular oven.

The cake is ready when it’s firm on top and a toothpick comes out clean.

Place the cake pan on a wire rack to let the cake fully cool.

Once the cake is fully cool, smooth the frosting on top.

Bon Appetit!

CORONVIRUS! THE PLANET NEEDS TO KNOW THIS

How are you feeling about the Coronavirus? Scared? Anxious? Don’t care? Nervous? Worried? Overwhelmed?

This week I had a loyal follower of The Elegant ask me to share The Elegant Life perspective on the whole Coronavirus pandemic, and I’m SO glad she did!

I am sitting back watching what feels like a Mini-Series on TV!  And the underlying current that is being perpetuated is FEAR.

At the start of 2020, I filmed a video on the NEW powerful energy that is at work now. The momentum for change and elevation in consciousness is almost palpable!

This is the energy at play right now and if we use it wisely, via The Elegant Life Principles, we can floooow through this time period with ease & elegance and at the same time reach new levels of consciousness.

So, ready to hear my take on the whole Coronavirus Saga?

Enjoy! And let me know your thoughts, okay?

With SO Much Love,

HOW TO FIND YOUR LIFE PURPOSE & CALLING

So, here’s one of the TOP questions I get asked: “How do I find my Life Purpose?”

Women all over the world are feeling the inner urge for fulfillment.  Life as usual just isn’t cutting it anymore.

They want to feel like they are having an impact. Doing something they love. Experiencing a sense of fulfillment that simply doesn’t come from working for someone or being a mother or wife.

Not that those things are bad or boring or don’t bring a certain sense of fulfillment but women are desiring MORE.

I could do a masterclass on this topic actually, which I am sensing will very soon (Let me know if this would interest you by leaving me a comment below, okay?)

But, the video I filmed this week came to me to share first. It’s the first understanding and perspective that is necessary. PLUS I lead you through a guided meditation.

So, if you are one of the many women who is desiring more from life, this video is for you. Please share it with any woman you know who may benefit from hearing the message, okay?

Thank you!

With SO Much Love,

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,
