Success vs. Fulfillment ... Which Is It For You?

Last night I did my first Tele class with the group of Conquer Your Sugar Addiction in 12 days. One focus of this class is my belief that some addictions are due to lack of fulfillment in many areas of our life.

Don’t spend your time waiting for the perfect time to do something you want to do. There rarely is a perfect time to do anything, only a right time, and that time is now. There are too many people dreaming of yesterday or worrying about tomorrow, instead of living for today.

So, this morning I received Jeffery Gitomer's newsletter. Perfect timing -- it's so fun to read his stuff! He has such a great writing style...really attention-getting!

Here's what he said today and this is not a COINCIDENCE -- it was in my mailbox this morning :)

When you love what you do, it’s not just self-evident, it’s evident to others. Your enthusiasm is transferable. One of the best saleswomen I ever met talked to me about her love of sales and love of job. She said, “I do everything full force.” Me? I say it a slightly different way, “I strive to do my best at what I love to do.” How do you say it? How do you feel about it?

MAJOR CLUE: Every day your road to fulfillment starts in the bathroom. And every day, whether you realize it or not, you can take the “Bathroom Mirror Test.” All you have to do is ask and answer these 5 critical questions – every day:

1. Am I happy on the inside?
2. Am I doing what I love?
3. Am I doing my best for those I love?
4. Am I doing my best for myself?
5. Am I smiling?

Creating the Future You Want!

It's amazing to see how many people are willing to do what it takes to create the future they want! This morning I spoke to Johanne, a client of mine. It's her day off, and she was at the Superstore buying groceries for the family and ordering some lasagna/pasta, etc. -- FUN FOOD -- for her son's graduation party. She will be the host of 20 people for this important celebration. After she's done shopping for her family and guests, she will drive to Organic Garage in Oakville to get her own Super-organic Superfood.

Johanne is very health conscious but also aware that she can't impose her beliefs on others. All she does right now is set an example of what she would like to see in other people, including her own family.

It blows my mind away when I see this kind of attitude. Johanne didn't feel stressed out about trying to accommodate everyone, including taking care of herself. I so admire seeing this kind of gesture. It requires lots of devotion and discipline.

Way to go, Johanne!

Today: how can we  let go of "What ifs".... "I should".... "why didn't I"???
and any other words that disempower you.

Happy People!

The Happiest people are those who discover that what they should be doing and what they are doing are the same things.

Last night I began the workshop on Conquer Your Sugar Addiction in 12 days with this quote. It sums up my feelings about having a happy life so well, because I couldn't imagine doing anything else in life. Yet too many people are trapped doing what they have to do instead of what they want to do! Life is way too short to spend doing something that prevents us from growing and that doesn't bring us lots of fulfillment. I believe that this is the cause of many addictions.

A great book that discusses just this topic is Grace Cirocco's "Take The Step The Bridge will be There" . She talks about how to get across that bridge and focus on what you truly desire in life.

Here's a great excerpt you can read from Grace's book: Heal the past.

One more thing to remember: Being comfortable doesn't allow us to grow.

So do one thing Today that will get you out of your comfort zone. Then let me know what you did and how it felt. I always love getting your feedback!

Incredible Fruit Sorbet

Tammy, a friend of mine, asked me for a few ideas and recipes for children.
My focus has been and will be on women over 40, but they often have young children. So, I will do my very best to post a few recipes to help you get some nutritious food into your picky eaters.

Here's a really good one that you can make in a juicer or food processor. My favourite juicers are the Champion, the Green Star, or the Hippo.

You will need 2 cups of frozen fruit of your own choosing...
A few ideas are:

Banana and mangoes
Pineapples and banana
Or just banana by itself
You can use cantaloupe, honeydew... really anything sweet.

Using a Champion / Green Star / or Hippo juicer:

1. Place the blank plate in the juicer
2. Push the fruit through until the soft serve comes out the end of the juicer.

Using Food Processor:
1. Cut the fruit into small chunks, or shred using the shredding blade.
2. Place the fruit in the food processor bowl with the S-blade in place.
3. Puree until soft and smooth like a soft serve.
4. Add a tiny bit of water if necessary to get the blade to move properly.

The Hippo Juicer is also available at the office

12 Most Common Symptoms of Liver Problems

Have you thought much about your liver? Here's a quick way to assess whether you're a candidate for a liver flush..

Pale Stools
Digestive complaints
Pain in the right side
Depressed appetite
Loss of energy
PMS
Emotional Excess
Allergies
Chemical sensitivities
Poor tolerance of fatty foods
Constipation
Skin Problems

So, if you figure that you have several of these symptoms, a quick and gentle flush may be in order. Here's my recipe...

AM Liver Cleanse!

I would recommend doing this over the weekend, and in the morning 1 hour before breakfast.

• 1 large grapefruit
• 2 lemons
• 1 ½ cup of filtered water   
• 1 tablespoons of cold pressed flax oil
• 1 teaspoon of acidophilus (2 capsules)
• 1 clove of fresh garlic
• 1 inches of fresh root ginger

Optional: a dash of cayenne pepper!
Squeeze the juice of the grapefruit and lemon into a blender
Next, grate the ginger, and then using a garlic  press, squeeze this into the juice
Now add the water, oil and acidophilus powder and blend for 30 seconds
Add more ginger/garlic to taste.

This juice contains all of the most potent liver cleansing ingredients, and gives your liver a gentle flush. (However, you may not want to go on a day-long hike after starting the cleanse). 

Inside Every Woman!

Just finished reading the last chapter of Inside Every Woman, by Vickie L. Milazzo, on the plane flying back from Atlanta late last night.

Milazzo speaks to all women and understands that success is not necessarily about financial gain. It is whatever your own personal goals are for your situation in life. Her book ends with the chapter on FUSION, which shows how like-minded women can get together, structure a meeting or all-girls party, and open themselves up to each other spiritually and emotionally.
