Are you feeling the exhilaration of a new beginning?
It was a challenging year for many including myself and I was glad to CLOSE 2015 with a reflective ritual and a kiss farewell and welcome the new year!
Over the holidays I was gifted a trip to Hawaii for my entire family and it’s been ENCHANTING.
The sunrises and sunsets, the tropical warm air, fragrant fruit and flowers, majestic mountains, crashing waves and endless beaches…PARADISE.
It’s a great story for another time but what I can say now is it’s been a gorgeous time of RENWAL and REINVENTION for which I’m so joyful.
One of the ways I capture and hold such a Transformation is with an Essence Photoshoot.
IT WAS ALWAYS A DREAM OF MINE TO DO ONE IN HAWAII…
I’ll be revealing some of the epic beauty we experienced on that shoot SOON!
Today, I’m sharing with you some fun FAMILY PICS 🙂
To be transparent with you…I love to share because it’s inspirational and gives others permission but sometimes women criticize me for NOT dimming my radiance or hiding my sensuality.
But when we judge another woman we are judging not only ourself but ultimately The Feminine.
And when we judge The Feminine we CLOSE DOWN OUR RECEIVING.
How do I personally transform envy and judgement in a way that UNLOCKS my Receiving instead of blocks it?
I’ll be sharing about my personal process in an upcoming presentation 🙂
My boys flew this plane with the pilot
It’s so good to be back connecting with YOU, and it’s been fun sharing my vacation pics!
NEXT TIME I’ll reveal my Essence Photoshoot~ you’ll see me transform before your very eyes!
And I INVITE YOU to IMAGINE the TRANSFORMATION that AWAITS YOU in 2016!
with sweet aloha,

One of the fastest ways to Receive more of what you want is to connect with the Abundance in your life currently.
Otherwise you will be trying to Receive from a place of lack; this is very frustrating.
When you focus on everything you can think of that you genuinely love and appreciate in your life= things that are fulfilling you already- you become a magnet for MORE!
But first, I want to THANK YOU for being here! I have a special Thanksgiving recipe for you from Sweet Seductions that I really hope you will enjoy.
There is a time in your life when you begin to realize all the things that are truly important, all the things you want to fill your space with; juicy fruit and wildflowers; tangy herbs and creamy pumpkin. True love is true nourishment. Laugh. Love. And linger over this dessert.

YOUR Turn!
Its time to create YOUR Abundance List
Creating this list can quickly shift you out of SCARCITY and LACK.
It includes just a fraction all the ABUNDANCE that you actually HAVE in your life already; appreciation opens you up for MORE.
Women’s breasts are the sacred spheres of femininity.
They represent nurturing and sustenance.
They are pillows of pleasure.
But, many women have concerns about the shape or size of their breasts.
Too small, too big, too drooping, uneven…all breasts are beautiful!
What matters most is how we feel about our breasts.
Do you love your breasts?
Have you ever wished they were different or do you accept them as they are?
Do you practice self-exam for detection of lumps for breast cancer prevention?
Have you ever massaged your breasts?
Do you take care of your breasts?
How do you take care of and show love to your breasts?
At 50, I love my breasts! I have a secret…breast massage!
I’ve been doing this weekly since after my second baby and I’ve noticed my breasts are firmer and smoother than ever!
I’ll share my favourite breast enhancement massage AND firming breast lift treatment for you to try.
I wrote about breast health in my book NAKED BEAUTY and asked my friend and colleague Tonya Zavasta to share her breast massage technique that I love because its so natural and simple.
BREAST MASSAGE
Breast massage is a natural way to enhance the look and health of your breasts without surgery. Regular breast massage will promote better skin tone and muscle structure.
Breast massage for wellness is not known in Western culture. However, breast massage techniques are widely accepted and used in health and beauty salons in Asia. Countries like Thailand place a great importance on the therapeutic value of breast massage and consider it an effective form of breast enhancement.
SIMPLE TECHNIQUES FOR SELF-BREAST MASSAGE
Begin by using your fingers, moving the skin away from the nipple slowly and gently. This gentle process can help start the flow of toxins and fluids out of your breasts. Any more pressure can actually stop the flow. There is no special breast massage technique. The main key is to gently but firmly massage. Perform a breast massage 1 to 3 times a week, each time for about 2 to 5 minutes.
Use very light pressure when massaging the breasts. You’ll need only the lightest movement, using the palms or flat part of the fingertips. Gently knead your breasts using a lifting and pressing action. According to Ayurvedic practices, massages will help lift the breasts, prevent sagging, and increase breast size.
Breast massage loosens up tight breast muscles and improves circulation. Use your hands to slowly and carefully twist and wring the breasts in a clockwise and reverse clockwise motion, gently. The twisting action will create a slight tourniquet effect and help fresh blood and fluids to flow in and toxins to flow out from the breast area.
MY FIRMING BREAST LIFT TREATMENT
For loved-up breasts, use this treatment from Naked Beauty once a week.
1⁄2 Banana
1 T Honey
1 t Coconut Oil
2 drops Frankincense EO + 2 drops Ylang Ylang EO
Banana is rich in potassium, (an essential mineral needed to regulate water balance), and Vitamins A and C, which are alpha-hydroxy acids that gently exfoliate the skin, leaving it smoother and revitalized.
Honey is a natural humectant that attracts and binds water to the surface layers of the skin.
Coconut Oil is edible oil that has anti-viral properties. On the skin it is pure luxury. It has a delicate aroma and very small molecules that easily penetrate the skin; safe and gentle for every skin condition.
Frankincense EO was considered more precious than gold in ancient times. Frankincense is used in this treatment for its legendary healing, regenerating and firming effects on the skin.
Ylang Ylang EO has an exotic scent reminiscent of jasmine and neroli. It is believed to relive high blood pressure and offers aphrodisiac effects. In skin care, it promotes skin cell regeneration and can balance oily or dry skin.
METHOD
Mash together banana and oils. After your breast massage, smooth mixture onto your breasts. Leave on for ten minutes. Rinse off with a cool cloth. Your breasts will feel softer, smoother and firmer.
I know you will enjoy this simple, feminine sacred beauty ritual of Exquisite Self Care!
WARNING:You may be tempted to think this is frivolous or pure pampering and may want to dismiss this…but breast cancer kills countless women every year and is on the rise~ I feel strongly that our breasts are the canary in the coal mines of our overall health. Caring for your breasts in this way is honouring yourself and brings you into your Feminine where you can regenerate, HEAL and Shine~ Viva Exquisite Self Care and beautiful breasts!
a recent picture I painted of my breast called Pleasure Island
I have discovered a powerful secret to why most women never lose the weight, change their diet, improve their looks, or receive the money or relationship they desire and deserve!
AND I’M GOING TO SHARE IT WITH YOU NOW…
Making a change in any area of our life requires a change in what we are doing for sure, but that isn’t enough, and that isn’t the starting point for long term success!
Changing what we DO without being firmly connected with WHY we are doing it plus HOW we will feel once we achieve it, usually doesn’t last; we give up before we accomplish the outcome we wanted.
For example, imagine a woman who wants to LOSE WEIGHT and get FIT.
She sees her girlfriend has done it by going to the gym and working out on the machines and taking spin classes, so she signs up, too.
But she actually hates every moment of it and feels like her workouts are punishment- they just aren’t enjoyable for her. She doesn’t see any result after 2 weeks and dreads every workout day. So what happens is she feels bitter and therefore has a strong urge for something sweet, to numb the pain and voices in her head that tell her ‘this isn’t working for you- again!’.
And she GIVES IN to a whole carton of chocolate haggen daz ice cream. Now she feels worse, fatter, exhausted and depressed. She doesn’t go back to the gym.
If I WERE MENTORING THIS WOMAN…
I would have asked her KEY questions before creating a workout or dietary plan for her…
I would have had her get in touch with the woman she knows she wants to be, the woman she truly IS underneath all the layers of extra weight and choices that puts her last and in SELF DOUBT.
I would first help her establish WHY she wants to transform her body, and HOW it makes her feel imagining herself living her essence, her most beautiful VISION of herself…
I would help her return and remember…
YOUR VISION IS THE MOST POTENT INGREDIENT FOR TRANSFORMATION.
Once she has connected to her Vision I would uncover the blocks as well as the EXACT STEPS to receiving the results she really desires, right down to the perfect foods and exercise for her…
And the magical part is that it would all be in alignment with her, and therefore EXCITING, ENJOYABLE and EFFECTIVE!
This is what happens everyday with my clients and this is what’s available for YOU.
I have opened up my schedule for the month of November for 3 new clients. If you have been considering mentorship and you know you want to work with me but aren’t sure what it would be like, I’d like to gift you a COMPLIMENTARY Private Consultation with me.
To be eligible:
1) You must be READY and know its YOUR TIME.
2) You must be willing to INVEST your money, time and energy.
3) You must be COMMITTED to yourself and your Transformation.
If you meet these requirements you can receive a 45 minute free session with me. This will give you a taste of what working with me would be like. There is NO pressure, but if you want to continue and we both feel like its a good fit we can explore options and your next steps.
