When Your Feet Feel Good The Rest Of You Tends To Follow Suit!

So as I sit here this morning writing, there is a crew of painters power washing our house directly outside my window in preparation for some much needed new color. I can’t help but think as they traverse effortlessly on the ladder, carrying a hose that contains more than adequate potential force to easily propel them from here to kingdom come if they aren’t in complete balance - how come they aren’t afraid? I would be petrified. I guess it becomes second nature. Maybe being high off the ground on flimsy ladders was never an issue for them. Maybe this gift of perching poisefully was born out of necessity. Maybe it is where they feel most comfortable. Maybe they used to be a little apprehensive but soon got used to maneuvering gracefully through space on such seemingly unsubstantial supports. It’s mind boggling to me and certainly not a fear that I have any desire to conquer at this point in time. I have enough other “stuff” to work through with regard to fear. I have been making some head way though over the past few years - actually the last 10 years have been quite liberating. I am embarking on several new adventures though and so some old frets and some perfectly new anxieties are lurking around and within me and my guides are telling me I need to nip ‘em in the bud now before they get too out of control. Okay, so how do you propose I tackle this task I ask? These were the answers I received:

“Remember what your friend Kristen used to say…” One of the things I have fallen back on for years whenever I have been in fearful (but non life threatening) situations is to ask myself “What is the worse possible scenario?” My friend Kris told me this for the first time when we were in high school and I cannot tell you how many times I have asked myself that question, and I can’t think of a time where the worse possible scenario that my imagination could conjure up ever even remotely came in to being. That question takes a lot of the charge out of the situation right there.

The next tool they spoke of was: Break it down into its simplest form like a math problem. For example: lets say you are going to be traveling abroad alone for the first time. I remember that day - I was going to see my friend Gáelle in Paris and although I was extremely excited about spending time with her and exploring her fair city, I was rather intimidated by the whole process and my stomach was doing somersaults for days beforehand. So by breaking the entire trip down into small easy to digest pieces I had a much easier time. I first thought about the ease I would have getting to the airport. My family dropped me off, so I didn’t have to find an alternate ride. Good, so I am at the airport, now I have to find which line to go in. Since I can read English fluently that didn’t present a problem. I found where I needed to go from the attendant at the Air France check in place. I made sure I didn’t have any liquids at all on me, as the airport security had changed since the last time I had traveled so I was prepared and didn’t have to hold up the line while they went through my plastic Ziploc baggie. BE PREPARED. That alone squelched some potential anxiety. Now my French is purely politeness and greetings - I have forgotten the rest of what I learned so many moons ago in school, so I was feeling like the inept American entering the Air France plane, but the attendants could not have been nicer and more helpful. Nothing to worry about there. The rest of the flight was thankfully a non event and I met up with my friend and we had an absolute blast for the first couple days I was there. Then Tuesday came and she had to go back to work, and it was planned that I would venture out and enjoy Musée d’Orsay on my own. Boy it took me a long time to muster up enough nerve to even leave her apartment. Then the walk to the museum was about 5 miles. Talk about reeling…ahhhh….adventure has never been my middle name. But I FORCED MYSELF (another great way to conquer fears -JUST DO IT!!) Then after the museum I was to meet Gáelle at her place of work. She told me where to pick up Le Métro and where to get off but I didn’t write it down for some reason - thought I would remember, made a wrong turn in the middle of the vast underground maze and ended up taking a train going in the opposite direction from my desired destination. Got off the train and thought my heart would burst out of my chest and splatter all over the dirty concrete in front of me, but it didn’t thankfully. I remembered TO BREATHE which ceased my panic and then really looked hard at the map in the station. I figured it out and found the right route! I was so proud of myself. Especially since not only had I not written down the correct metro line, but I didn’t have an address for her work (we had just walked the entire route from the museum to her work the day before so I thought I would remember) or her house, didn’t have her phone number (although she had given me a cell phone, but that was in the days when I was completely clueless about cell phones and I barely new how to turn it on.) So if I hadn’t stayed relatively calm and if my memory hadn’t kicked in (and if my guides hadn’t been watching over me), I could be still trying to find my way through Paris, because this is one part of the trip I hadn’t been really prepared for. Probably seems like a simple thing to a lot of people - no big deal right. It was a huge thing for me - way out of my element. Found the right stop got off and then - gee which way am I supposed to turn. Happened on a traffic cop and asked in my pitiful French and he proceeded very courteously to give me precise directions (she happened to work in a very prominent building so an exact address was not necessary) in English on where I needed to go. Perfect. I don’t think there are many days in my life time that were as empowering as that one. I was the little engine that could - yayyy me!

Anyway so taking it to simplest terms is helpful. I just finished a new book by Sonia Choquette named The Answer is Simple…Love Yourself, Live Your Spirit! I have loved all of Sonia’s books and there were quite a few pearls in this one as well. She talks about instantly changing your vibration by voicing aloud your fears, speaking out every one as if taking out the trash, and you will begin to start to feel a shift in your reality. This makes sense to me.

You also want to make sure that their is some kind of reward at the end. What’s the upside? Just dispelling the fear is certainly more than enough of an upside for most of us since then you can move ahead and achieve your targeted goals. Think about all the long term ramifications of the situation though, and see how much easier you will be able to move through your life just by taking the time to address these issues.

Need something more concrete to work with? Make another list (Gotta love the list!) This time make a list of the present fears that are keeping you from achieving your ambitions then write down every auxiliary fear branching out from that and then the worst possible scenarios associated with each. ‘What will happen if I do this, say that, etc.’ Reread what you just wrote and try and look at it from another vantage point. Ask yourself if these fears are founded or not. Most likely not. In other words is there a rational basis for these fears. Cross off the ones which have no real basis. Now go back to the one’s that are feasible. Hopefully there aren’t many. Break them down to simple form by asking the question out loud “Is this particular fear really likely to end up with this result if I try and push past it to achieve my goal? Listen for an answer from within. The saying out loud part again really helps to disperse the fear into the universe so again, it takes the charge away, this is a very important step. When you have deactivated each one, test it. For example, if your fear is public speaking, you have written down all the fears that branch out from that. You have spoken them out loud in to the universe and then you have crossed off the ones that don’t really pertain, then you can attempt your goal. Do it in a small way if need be at first. Ask for assistance from your higher self so if you get stuck your higher self can take the reigns for you. Kind of like being on auto pilot for awhile until you are able to be present again. You will find things coming out of your mouth so fluidly. Just don’t think too much, have faith that what you are trying to convey is present in you body and you just need to access it and it will be on your tongue and out your mouth. Okay, so if it is fear of spiders or snakes or something, what could you do to dispel that kind of thing? Well go to a pet shop and seek out the hairiest tarantula you can find or the largest snake you can find and concentrate on all its intricacies - how it moves, what the texture of its skin or exo-skelton, or fur is like. Try and recognize the cuteness factor, of all things. That helps greatly in casting away fears, then take time to really appreciate all the engineering it took to create such an exquisite specimen. Find out more about the animal, what its lifestyle is like. All creatures are desirable and fulfill their purpose in this world - no one is more or less important. We need to remember to see the beauty in all. That is it. Appreciate the gifts each creature exhibits and then you will be less fearful. A certain amount of fear is not a bad thing, however. It keeps us safe from things as it causes hyper vigilance. When it comes to something like wild animals for example a little fear and cautiousness is a good thing I think anyone would agree. And let’s not forget to respect and give room as well.

Every once in awhile we find ourselves amidst a stronghold of some sort which we have consciously or unconsciously constructed in attempt to satisfy that wonderful illusion of security - be it a job, a relationship, or an environment, but as time wears on we might begin to feel a bit claustrophobic from the perceived security we have created and find that it is time to break free. A daunting proposal for many of us (ahhh, what am I supposed to do now???) but on the flip side completely liberating. The chance to start anew. As we know, change is one of the only constants in life so embrace it, stand firm and explore your options (and they are numerous), and just revel for awhile in the idea of change.

Begin the process by focusing on the metamorphisis you want to experience in your life. Refrain from concentrating on what you think is wrong with your immediate situation, and take back those statements you made to yourself about how what you really want is unattainable. Those self-limiting dalliances serve no one and are simply untrue. Start by making a list of all the things that make you happy. Go back in your personal archives and pick out those activities over the years that really moved you in a positive way. After you make a quick list (no need for intellectualizing initially), go back and elaborate. If you don’t feel like writing out the details, just daydream (although journaling is a very helpful tool to help you find out exactly what you do want and what you don’t). Visualize each one of those entries on your list, and feel how they made you feel the last time you experienced them. You have a very powerful imagination, you can remember the feeling. Now bring yourself to present time you - see yourself in your minds eye how you appear at this very moment and picture yourself engaging in each of the activities on your list. How do those things feel in your present body? Do they still amuse you? Make a note of it.

Now make another list of things you have always wanted to try but never have. Go anywhere with this one - no holds barred. Whatever wonderous thing you have entertained even for a nano-second, jot it down quickly. Then as above, spend a little more time reflecting on each of the possibilities. Don’t know much about #4, Google it or research it in some other way. Talk to people who presently engage in the activities in question - people love to talk about what they love, give them that pleasure.

Now, break your life up into categories - we really want to narrow our focus now and get as specific as possible. Do you wish to see a change in every aspect of your life, or just say in your career, or where you live, or who your friends are, or what you do in your free time? Make an outline: Love Life, Professional Life, Home Environment, Neighborhood, Friends, Down Time Activities, Finances, Volunteer Opportunities, Health and Well Being, Pets, and the list can go on. Now underneath each heading, make more lists and be as precise as possible. Once you get your lists going, they will evolve with time and you will start to see with crystal clear vision the life you have been wishing for, and you will notice in all the little and not so little ways, how you are actually building that reality. With concentration on the lucid visions you have maintained, you will see your life altering before your very eyes.

Set some time frames for yourself - short term, nothing too long down the road - (why should you have to wait long to achieve many of the things on your lists - who makes those ridiculous unwritten rules anyway?) You can reinforce the realization of these goals by writing up or drawing brief affirmations or symbols that you can post in strategic areas demonstrating the changes you are presently making. Like today for example, I can place a sticky note on my dashboard stating “I will say only kind things to myself and everyone around me.” Or I can draw a heart or a peace sign or some other symbol to nudge my memory about what I am working and playing towards, or paste a magazine photo of the new back yard sanctuary I want to create up on the fridge. Collage making is a fabulous tool to more clearly reinforce how you want to live your life with all the intricate details, and it is a fun process as well. The more distinctly you portray your desires the more easily they will be to manifest. You might also want to surround yourself or at least introduce yourself to people whose lives inspire you and learn by example. Join clubs in your community to meet the kinds of people you want to grow to be. Just a couple of ideas to help organize the process. Lists make things manageable, journaling tracks your course, drawing and collaging helps cement the precise picture, and before you know it you’ve recreated the life you want to live. Enjoy your adventure!

A client I just had the pleasure of meeting again today seems to completely embody this concept. I only see her maybe once every six months - she has grown quite fond of one of my oil blends, purchases a few bottles at a time and then I don’t hear from her for awhile. Every time she approaches our rendez-vous spot a reocurrent thought pops into my head and I am compelled to say “Wow you look beautiful!” She just exudes joy, absolutely glows, and is obviously living in perfect attunement with her hearts desires. She radiates pure light that permeates the entire area surrounding her. It is really quite amazing to see. She loves to travel and pairs that with her love for jazz, and she and her husband tour all over the world together exploring new areas and listening to fabulous music - she says they’re off to Hawaii in a couple weeks. Now I don’t really know her besides these brief interludes, the usual friendly, courteous business exchange, but her presence is unmistakably powerful as is usually the case when someone is living with an open heart and being true to their souls desires. She has found the perfect recipe that makes her spirit soar and that cannot help but leave an impression on everyone around her. Ever feel like you don’t have the power to change what is not right with the world? Adjust your outlook. Alter your disposition. Listen to your heart and souls desire, align your spirit with what is true for you. Don’t question it if you feel it in your gut, in your heart. Have faith and don’t worry. Act from a place of integrity. Be a beam of light in your immediate world, and one by one, the bigger world will be embraced by light even in the darkness. Remember the ripple.

Breathe in….hmmmm….breathe out….ahhhhhhhh…

Just pass the threshold of this gorgeous, relatively new shop in Rolling Hills, and you will be subtly and sweetly struck with a multitude of heavenly aromas with every step you take.

While waiting for the kids to finish their pottery class the other day, my Mom and I decided to check out the shops on Deep Valley Drive as it had been a long time since we ventured to the top of the hill. Leisurely strolling around we happened upon a very enticing window that was entrancingly beckoning us, so we decided to accept the invitation. We were happily met by all sorts of colors and textures as well as aromas and lovely engaging displays - plenty of pick me up, feel me and smell me opportunities ranging from
all- vegetable, soy and beeswax candles, to beautifully crafted soaps (I have been enjoying my pumpkin loofah bar immensely - I am so wonderfully smooth now!), milk baths, essential oil blends, sugar scrubs, body splashes, green cleaners, and exquisite gift items from around the world.

Recently I had been searching online for a candle company that used all natural ingredients scented with pure essential oils, and I was unable to find one that possessed all the elements I was looking for, and voilà, here it was all along and practically in my own backyard! (Their Hermosa shop is actually even closer.) The very friendly owners Ken and Denise kindly welcomed us and gave us a bit of the background of this enthralling enterprise. Apparently Ken has been making candles now for over 26 years, and what started out as a passion that he shared with his wife Denise has evolved over time into the booming candle/natural body product business that they have created together. With two retail locations, an online store, and a warehouse/studio where they do all their formulating these alchemists certainly are busy, and the high quality goods they are producing are greatly appreciated by a loyal following of retail clients and wholesale customers alike. Having a wedding or special event? Need fabulous corporate gift ideas? Call them up and they will be more than happy to explore the options with you. Everything is all hand manufactured from the purest of raw ingredients, and they are very environmentally conscious as well.

So go check them out on the hill or at the beach, whichever place is closer for you, or online if your not local. But if you happen to be free tomorrow night go experience all this for yourself at:

An evening in South Africa - a wonderful wine tasting event happening

Let’s all do this today.
Honor your spirit in all its magnificence. Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Work your way past the self-judgement (and for some the relentless condemnation), and recognize that you are a supreme being on this earth and no matter where you have been or where you are going, you must take the time out to celebrate this moment in all your glory. Sing your own accolades, herald your own existence, appreciate your gifts and share them. There is no need for self-limiting beliefs, there is no need for fear. Have faith that you are unconditionally loved and cherished as an integral part of the intricate network of the very first world wide web, and devote some time to revel completely in the experience of being you. Sometimes we get starved for love, for attention, for understanding, for support, for companionship, all we really need to do is quiet ourselves and look within. There are universes within universes within all of us and all we need to do is open ourselves up to the possibilities whatever they are -some of which we could never even imagine. Open our hearts to the love that is within and all around and spread that love where ever we go. It is a chain reaction and completely palpable when set in motion.

Start with the physicality of it all. Champion your own Divine unique design and remember: “Shhh, your body can hear you - speak to it only in sonnets and sing to it only the sweetest of love songs…”
Express outward gratitude for the feet that hold you up and let you move throughout your day, remember all of the magical places they have taken you. And the legs that help lengthen the stride of your feet, and support your upper body. And your backside for giving you a soft cushion to sit upon. Enjoy the strength and structure of your back and your spine for keeping you erect and allowing you to twist and bend. Give thanks for your neck that enables you to see in many different directions while standing with the rest of your body in perfect alignment. And for your head that holds a mouth that can speak and sing and eat and drink, and BREATHE, a nose that can also breathe and smell heavenly and not so heavenly things. Eyes that can express love and all other emotions, and give you sight of the brilliance surrounding you. Ears to hear the blissful melodies of the everyday workings of the world, or beautiful voices and music. Shoulders that convey courage and fortitude. Arms and hands for expression and exemplifying grace, and for giving and receiving, and holding. Embrace all of the vessels and nerves and the skin that keeps us all together and acts as a protective shield. Now move into the skin and through all the vessels and viscera and make your way to the mind, and be grateful for all its never ending diligence throughout all of your days and nights, and invite it to take a rest once in awhile. Now address your soul, and ask what it wants, how it can best be served, listen for answers and give thanks for all of the lessons. Emerge from this revelry renewed with exalted appreciation and awareness that you have the power to create anything your soul desires, and that is exactly why you are here.

Around every corner and some of the straight aways in between, if you come to expect to be enchanted you most thoroughly will. “Perception is Reality” as was so emblazoned on the door to my kids’ sixth grade class last year, and truer words were never spoken. Opening oneself up to the pure delightment that can await behind every bend is just such a fun way to go through the day. Yesterday as I was having a morning coffee I looked out on the street and suddenly to my utter amazement and amusement came along this perfectly pink little butterfly strolling down the sidewalk. With pink fairy like wings, a pink leotard, tutu and slippers, pink cheeks peeking out from a shock of white blonde bangs with pig tails and the most adorable pink antennae you ever saw - to cute for words….Then a little later in the day, pulling up to a parking space at the bank there was this enormous tree out front, a kind I had never seen before, with clusters of radiant orange puffballs coming off the branches - completely exploding with these blooms, that it seemed to make the entire surrounding sky iridescent and surreal - stunning…

I used to be a bit prone to road rage - well maybe that statement’s a little extreme - let’s say instead, I used to get extremely frustrated on a regular basis with my fellow travelers out there, and would have no problem voicing within the confines of my own vehicle my distaste for there driving ability, or the appearance of an entire lack there of. I finally figured out that participating in this particular activity was not only detrimental to my blood pressure, but also a real drag to be around if you happened to be a passenger when I decided to let it all loose. I made a choice that it was high time I change my tactics, and I forced myself to start smiling and waving at people instead when I got those urges to vent - and after a short time - what a relief is all I can say- this just made all the difference in the world to me when I was driving, and now I find it fun to play games and see how many people will react happily back, and you know, most of them do, and then the whole experience of moving from here to there throughout the day, just becomes a huge pleasureful operation.

So those are just a couple of examples, but then I thought, well why just limit it to the street, why not expect to be completely charmed and colossally captivated all the time?

Okay, so maybe not always in a big, dramatically, public way - that could be somewhat annoying to those around you, but an inside job - completely doable. It’s kind of like expecting the best out of people for example. When you have that expectancy, in all likelihood that is what you will receive - I think 9 times out of 10 (not documented but an educated assumption) they will be overwhelmed to give you their absolute best at that very point in time, plus as mentioned previously, it is ALL your own perception.

A slight diversion…I have left you for awhile, and now am in the middle of watching the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. TALK ABOUT ENCHANTMENT! WOWWWW!!!

I have always enjoyed watching both summer and winter Olympics and especially adore the opening ceremonies because you get to see all of the beautiful people with all of their gorgeous faces from a great representation of the many beautiful countries in the world in all of their fabulous costumes - I know there is always more than meets the eye on this evening, political and otherwise, but the expressions on the many faces of the atheletes, whether they exhibit austere stoicism, jet lag and exhaustion, anxiousness, reserved national pride, humility, extreme joy and amazement, extreme fear, lightheartedness and a sense of global unity, or if it is completely unreadable… it is such a moving vision, the most extreme palpable example (even if it is an illusion - and isn’t it all anyway?) of global solidarity - you can’t help but be enchanted, and in awe, and it brings to me anyway a great feeling of hope for us all. I like this night. I Love THIS NIGHT!!! You enjoy it too - wherever you are…

Greetings and welcome to July Treatment Recipes!

Surely you have heard of Christmas in July, so what is wrong with July Treatment Recipes in August?

I had actually completed them on the 31st and put them up on their own page, I just forgot to mention it to you here in this space. So if you have been feeling completely weathered lately with all the heat this summer, you will certainly want to grab a dish pan and mix up some of our Cooling Dead Sea Soak - it definitely will help chill you out!

Click here to start mixing!

Got to love friends who tantalize your senses and tempt you with rich sweet goodies that tease your tongue and bring such profound delight! They told us that they must take us to LADURÉE on the Champs Elysées - not only a grand, stunningly civilized yet festive place to indulge in exotic teas but more importantly a place where you can thoroughly enjoy a color filled feast with the likes of these sublimely delicious macarons in flavors such as: coffee, chocolate, vanilla, coconut, lemon, raspberry, pistachio, mint, liquorice, caramel, orange flower, black currant-violet, and more.

They were packed up in this very beautiful box and were pretty much demolished by the seven of us right after we took these pictures. I enjoyed a lemon one with additional shared tastes of a pistachio, and then vanilla - Oh My God is something I recall saying - really amazing, perfectly balanced flavors, fantastic delicate texture, just the right amount of cream filling. An exceptional indulgence to further grace an exceptional walking tour of Paris led by our three wonderful friends!

So this was back in May, and as I have mentioned in previous posts I have been wanting to hold on to our Paris visit for as long as I can. I thought I would try to make these but even though I have found a few recipes: one recipe, another recipe, and another (and this last one is supposedly “the” translated recipe direct from the source) - I haven’t attempted it yet. If you decide to try any of these will you let me know how they come out? Thanks…. and of course thanks to these three terrific sites that I found them on.

When I found Delicieuse (scroll 2 posts down for that write up), I asked the owner if she made macarons and she told me no as her company was not a patissiere, but she suggested a lovely patissiere not too far in the city of Lomita, so I decided to give it a try. (BTW we finally went to Delicieuse for lunch last Saturday - fabulous - really wonderful, great food in an enchanting setting with kind, attentive service, and of course I was in great company - couldn’t have asked for more!)

So my son’s and I made a special trip to find Patissiere Chantilly one day last week. It was quite a bustling little shop, with every table full, and people lined up at the counter waiting to place their order. Everything looked so perfectly beautiful set behind the shiny glass case, decorated with great attention to little details. We ordered 6 macarons in the 3 flavors they had available that day - Green Tea, Chocolate, and I didn’t catch the type of the last one, but it may have been Black Currant. My guys ordered a Mont Fraise each, which was a fancy and fun looking pink strawberry mountain, and I had a small slice of their signature cheese cake, Chantilly Fromage, which was quite luscious - nice and dense with an intense cheese taste (I had planned on getting a Choux á la Créme but the lady in front of me walked out with 3 huge boxes of them and I was informed there were no more left - next time maybe.) The guys ate their mounds in the back seat of the car on the ride home - said they were very good with an interesting, gelatinous texture sitting atop a scrumptious strawberry tart. We anxiously awaited to taste the macarons until after we shot an acceptable photo. Don’t they look pretty?

Well, they do look very nice, and they tasted good, but not exactly what we were anticipating, unfortunately. The texture was completely different and the filling, although quite tasty, was a bit over powering. I really wanted to love these - but there just is no comparison (really, how could there be? Besides, our trip to Ladurée was just a small, yet really enjoyable part of the bigger package - that being the sensational reconnection with our dear friends, and the only way to recapture all the sentiments that went along with that would be to go back to Paris- to expect to hold on to that point in time by way of something we ate, is just ridiculous and way too much responsibility for one tiny confection. There, I have come to my senses- I will just treasure the memories!)

I will definitely go back to this enticing shop though, they had many other delectable little goodies I certainly wouldn’t mind trying. I hope you decide to check it out too - you may want to call first to make sure they are open - they were working with summer hours and actually the first time we went to check them out after noon on a weekday, they were closed.

So after you go visit, come back and let us know what we should try next!
