Okay, lovebuttons. I know this is a late night post, but there was a parents’ meeting and a meeting with my new landlord and a hot date (and I do mean HOT date) with my pores at yoga!
I just HAVE to tell you what happened to me yesterday as I was walking and smiling and strutting my happy green stuff in the street. I was coming out of somewhere… oh! Having bought my groceries at the health food store. I was pushing the jogging stroller, loaded with fruits and veg, and I walked past a couple of men who were Italiano and chatting away…
…I smiled and just walked right past. When I was about 3 stores down, one of them yelled out at me at the top of his lungs,
“YOU ARE BEEEEAAAUTIFUL!!!”
*gush*
It’s that special? I felt happy the whole day for that one! Just another example of how you can make someone feel so good, when you’re brave enough to say what you think when you think it. That just made my day! 
Today was pretty great, too. I did two great things for myself today:
- I RELEASED a project I had been ify about. I’d been thinkin’,. wonderin’, tryin’ waiting to see if and how I would make something happen and today I said,
“NO!”
In the nicest way possible, of course.
Here’s what became my affirmation for the day:
I CHOOSE to prioritize the projects and people that GIVE me strength and that excite and empower me and I RELEASE the rest to the wind.
Eventhough having released this project meant losing some significant opportunities, I just had to go with my GUT and not my brain and SET IT FREE.
So I did and I’m sure I’ll be really glad about it eventually.;-) It did hurt a bit, because there are always costs involved (emotional as much as financial) when letting go of something, but you know what they say about doors and stuff…
…you have to close one door before you can let another open.
So, here’s to promising possibilities with projects and believe that inspire me to be the best I can be and have the most positive impact on the world.
- The other thing I did for myself was I prioritized ME! I went to my yoga class even though I was heavily tempted to come here and do my late blog duties. I let the guilt go for the late blog post and just sweat myself to bliss by going to yoga!!
So overall, I’m feeling empowered. Voila today’s themesong:
I’ll be putting up the announcement very soon for our teleseminar with Michael tomorrow! Remember, this is going to be YOUR opportunity to ask questions, so once that announcement is up, you better start sending me all your questions and concerns. ASK ANYTHING!!! He really said we could ask ANYTHING, so let’s do it!
You can leave you name out if you’d like it to be anonymous. That’s totallly fine. On the call, just so you know, I won’t say something like,
“Umm… Michael, Stacey in Winnipeg, wants to know if poop should sink or float and why?”
Love you, Stacey.
Okay, here’s another reminder that FRIDAY is my rescheduled date night with Brian Johnson. PLEASE, you do NOT want to miss that call, it’s going to be AMAZING and I’m so looking forward to it! There are more things up the pipes, but I think we’ve got enough to worry about for now.
It’s time for some emergency support, but since this is getting long and juuust in case you’ve been waiting for my post, I’m going to continue it and put the rest up in another post. I have A LOT to say and so I may as well keep it going. A sequel.
Stay tuned and in the meantime, check out Annie Lennox and Aretha Franklin on that theme song I told you to start up!

What a smile you must have had after that joyful expression!!! You make me smile, too, lovely.
Today my Pilates teacher, who is a fellow raw foodist, asked me how I was doing with my diet. She was having some troubles keeping on track. Well I explained that over the past week I have been 100% raw. Well, she said she knew something was going right because I was GLOWING! I guess my joyful mood and constant smile aren’t the only side-effects of a raw food diet!
Luv,
Amanda

I remember when that song came out, and dancing away like a maniac. lol
You are sounding great! Good for you for putting yourself first: this is SO important. I mean, how can we look after anyone else if we aren’t taking care of ourselves first? Isn’t it just wonderful when a total stranger sees our beauty shining through?
Keep RAWking along.
Blessings,

This…”You have to close one door before you can open another one” is something I have to work out. There are so many doors around me now, which I want to open, but I can’t find the time.
Maybe I should start thinking which doors I can close.
Have a great day!

Tera, sometimes I think you and I are riding surf boards, on the same wave, side by side!!!! I can’t believe how our lives seem to parallel one another.
Yesterday I sent a letter to my boss, outlining the days and hours that I am available to work. I work, per diem, in the hospital. So, technically I should go in when I can, when I’m available. Because I have such a hard time saying “NO”, I end up working full time!!! This is a huge reason why I don’t have time for the more important things….so, I decided yesterday to make myself a priority, and when they called and asked if I could work yesterday, I said, “NO” in the nicest way of course..LOL
You’re doing great Tera! Good for you for not over extending yourself, and for recognizing your own limitations. That’s what being balanced is all about, and that a good thing Sparkle Puff!!!!
Love Ya!

Yesterday while pumping gas (in my red dress) the guy on the other side of the pump said I looked nice.
I have some doors about to close in my life (two of them). Not sure what new door(s) will open for me.
You are a real encouragement. Looking forward to hearing all Michael has to say.

Love that song, love Annie and Aretha, love you.

I love Aretha Franklin!!
Tera, good for you for prioritizing yourself and modeling what we should be doing here. You’re the best teacher
I can’t wait for the teleseminar on poop. This is going to be awesome. Thanks so much for putting this one together.
Love and hugs

Today is a raw day and a day for pondering. I like the idea of looking at my life and seeing what doors I need to close. As I read the blog, I realized that I keep opening doors because I am a visionary, but instead of closing the ones that are needing closing, I feel guilty for not dealing with them. Thanks for the encouragement in this direction. Kathie

Tera, I bet you were floating on air with that “beautiful” comment – I know I would have been!
Thank you, too, for sharing your beautiful thoughts with us on this 90-day detox blog. I love how your optimism shines through.
Sending love & hugs from across the pond.
