I’ve missed you!

Summers in Ontario are so short and so precious and so this year I went mostly offline to spend with my family and friends camping, cottaging, picnicking and summer evenings pool partying.

I celebrated my 17th wedding anniversary 🙂

My teenage sons are both back to highschool and loving it.

Welcoming my dear friend and business Empress Amy who has done all my design work, to my city!!

Catching up with girlfriends like my Margie whom I’ve known for 30 years…

Creating lots of gorgeous, simple, radiant raw food for everyone like this dehydrated onion bread.

for recipes see NUDE FOOD

And mostly I’ve been reconnecting with myself and the sweet pleasures of summer.

SLOWING DOWN and listening…this is how I stay in tune with my own sensual rhythm, and so can you.

Ahhhh, summer love…the simple things in life are so sweet!

I was invited to a gorgeous mansion on the lake pool party for a magazine I write for but nearly didn’t go…because of my eyes…lately they’ve been really dry/ itchy.

I wasn’t feeling very social or beautiful…and forget makeup to help hide anything! but I put on my sparkly dress that I designed, and I went.

Owning our true beauty especially when we aren’t looking as hot as we’d like is an Art that takes you and everyone else higher 😉

There I met a striking couple; she’s a designer and we shared a nice connection and talked about a possible joint venture.

I was really glad I went to the party!

Where can YOU say YES to something that a part of you is hiding out in?

Saying yes to something you would normally turn down is one of the ways that can really bring back the excitement, fun and SWEETNESS back to your life when you are working too hard or in the same old routine.

Another simple way is to create every opportunity to simply GO OUTDOORS and spend time in Nature.

There is so much magic and beauty to be found everywhere you look!
