<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>did you have a beautiful lover's day, Angels?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was thinking about you all day but donated the broadband cord (no wifi here) to Husby as a gift. He sweetly took the day off to spend it with me and as he's flying this morning it's my chance to pop on and discover <b><span style="color: #e06666;">what You got up to on Valentine's?</span></b>!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>ALSO I couldn't wait to share this video with you</b>. Having spent most of my time in the states before in NYC and Boston, the business of EATING is a real eye-opener down here in Florida. I appreciate seeing first hand the challenges we discuss in my curriculum at the <a href="http://www.integrativenutrition.com/" target="_blank">Institute for Integrative Nutritio</a>n and this sweet little video highlights the changes the school supports and much of what we believe in as students.</span><br />

<br />
On our Valentine's we took a short ride to the beach (my choice of destination: Cocoa Beach pier) a little touristy and run-down, but so salty and authentic, it felt like stepping back in time.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Chocolate turtle cheesecake!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>We super-indulged; I actually ate the seasoned fries on my plate, and for once we had dessert- a Cheesecake sampler,(selection of three cheesecake slices). My favourite was the <a href="http://www.momswhothink.com/cheesecake-recipes/turtle-cheesecake-recipe.html" target="_blank">Chocolate turtle cheesecake laced with caramel and walnuts.</a> <br />
(probably very naughty of me to post that recipe link there for you ;)<br />
<br />
I've never in my life before<i> heard </i>of turtle cheesecake which means <b>far too many years not knowing this decadent treat!</b><br />
<br />
<b>It's certainly a once-a-year special dish.</b><i> you read it here.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Back at the estazia last night,<b> I was as "full as a goog</b>"! as we say down under (goog = egg), only did a few yoga stretches instead of the 12 bastards - that's what they are called, REALLY, I promise you- I've been doing all Jan and Feb thanks to <a href="http://www.menshealth.co.uk/fitness/challenges/the-mens-health-bastard-challenge" target="_blank">Men's Health magazine challenge</a>. I admired so much Husby doing 25 pushups. He hasn't done a Bastard yet, though ;) <b> </b><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Back to healthy,</b> this morning I had my<span style="font-size: large;"> first cup EVER of Kombucha green tea, via Yogi teas</span>. <b><span style="color: #e06666;">It was absolutely delicious</span></b> and I can now fully appreciate the fascination and fan base Kombucha has, even though mine was only made from a tea bag and many inspiring fellow coaches brew their own!<br />
<br />
Breakfast= also a whole fresh avocado chopped into a bowlful of green leaves- baby spinach and mixed lettuces.<br />
<i><b><span style="color: #274e13;"><br />
</span></b></i><br />
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBcpL4YCEgImQVf1AphO_DIAewnCOcUQHbFEY2Fi3NJinwpnZJjQ" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTBcpL4YCEgImQVf1AphO_DIAewnCOcUQHbFEY2Fi3NJinwpnZJjQ" /></a><i><b><span style="color: #274e13; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></b></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #274e13;">Confession: A year ago I could not eat avocado, i considered it such a high calorie food with what I thought to be zero taste</span></b>.</span> </i><br />
<br />
Just another brilliant tiny, life-changing adjustment <a href="http://www.integrativenutrition.com/" target="_blank">the year of training as a Holistic Health Counselor</a> has given me. <span style="font-size: large;"> I now even crave the creamy, sweet chewy flesh<i>- it seems to go especially well with baby spinach and a squirt of lemon juice- </i>and appreciate it's jam-packed with antioxidants, fat-soluble vitamins, fibre and plant fatty acids not only beneficial for heart health... but unbeatable for great skin, and a satiated feeling.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
Finally this morning so far :)), intead of jumping on the laptop as soon as Husby walked out the door, and dangerously delaying my exercise (dangerous, you'll know, because life has a funny way of jumping in and hijacking you as the day wears on!) I laced up my Nikes straight away and did a few laps of the compound, <b>ending with a lovely chat to a curious squirrel. </b> <b>Yet another beautiful occurrence </b>which is everyday living in the sunshine state, and which I am loving so much!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666; font-size: large;">But back to you, Angels. How did you celebrate Valentine's? I'd love to know!</span><br />
<br />
love to you yesterday, today and always,<br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Do you find it easier to be healthy when it's warmer? <i><span style="font-size: large;">Perhaps it's wearing less clothes that makes us more conscious of our bodies; or that the warmer air encourages us to drink more liquids; or that the warm-weather selection of fruits and vegetables are so much more tempting than their winter cousins.</span></i> For me, the answer is YES.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Feeling the healing power, I encourage <b>you</b> to be warm this weekend! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">How, in a cold climate? A few simple ways: </span></i><br />
<br />
<ol><li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Turning up the heating, whilst not the most enviro-friendly recommendation, is often good for the body and the smiling spirit of the soul. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Place a glass or ceramic dish of water, perhaps with a few drops of essential oils such as orange and eucalyptus for their uplifting, refreshing scents, in front or on top of the heating to humidify the <b>air which is often as dry as it is cold </b>on frosty days.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Invite someone you'd like to get to know better to share the <a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/06/how-massage-heals-sore-muscles/" target="_blank">healing power of massage</a>. Even a hand or foot massage is hugely beneficial to stimulate circulation which releases stagnant energy and gets toxins moving out of your system!</span></li>
</ol><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And if you are in a warmer climate like me, <b>go outside and soak up some sunshine</b>. 15 minutes a day of exposure to a major body area like the arms, legs or back absorbs the vitamin D we need for body balance. <span style="font-size: large;">Are you tempted to supplement, having heard that vitamin D deficiency, common in cold dark climates, worsens auto-immune symptoms and can cause depression ? </span> Please read this helpul <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2011/11/30/taking-the-right-type-of-vitamin-d.aspx" target="_blank">article first by Dr Mercola</a>!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>warmly</b> yours,</span><br />

(I was shocked at <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/jan/22/fruit-vegetable-consumption-poorer-families" target="_blank">the statistics!</a>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And since that post I've had some lovely colleagues sharing their ways of enjoying a maximum amount of fruit and vegetables on a low-cost budget.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Because many brought up simple and tasty ideas such as<span style="font-size: large;"> freezing individual portions of delicious dishes</span><b style="font-size: x-large;"> </b>bursting with Rainbow produce, it got me thinking of not just WHAT to make on a budget, but HOW to save money in the purchase & distribution of the delicious Rainbow you want your family to eat!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>So below you'll find a few more suggestions before the delicious cheap Rainbow meals are even being gobbled on the plates you serve. </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. <b>Farmer's markets</b> offer their best seasonal produce, often grown without pesticides and locally. If you're not already a regular, you'll be pleased at how cost-effective local veg can be!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. Is your family too small for a <b>home-delivered box of veg </b>offered by your local farm or market? Consider <b>splitting a box with a neighbour </b>or <b>cooking up vegetable dishes in double quantities other families might give you a contribution</b> towards! <i> sharing the love...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. <b> Compare prices online</b> to find the best stores offering fresh produce cheaply. <a href="http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/" target="_blank">Here's such a tool</a>.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. </span><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">It's recognised our fresh produce isn't going to get any cheaper as the world population grows and new demands are placed for crops grown for fuel, instead of food. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> So make it a goal in 2012 to begin to <b>grow your own</b>. If you don't have a garden, consider window boxes, vertical window gardens, getting on the list for an allotment or <b>volunteering to plant a friend's garden in return for some spoils!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. <b> Buy loose.</b> It may sound obvious that pre-sliced onion, grated carrot or diced vegetables in bags cost more, but <b>even netted bags of oranges and bagged-up potatoes can be priced up to 30% more per pound</b> depending on where you shop! Retailers take advantage of the fact that we are short on time and enjoy convenience, and place the pre-packaged items at eyeline & within easy reach. <i>Case in point:</i> at my local shop yesterday I saved 70p just by selecting my own chestnut mushrooms rather than reaching for the plastic covered punnet!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">6. And lastly, the Rainbow of fruits and vegetables are <b>just that- Fruits and Vegetables</b>. Whether it's Harris Farm Market in Australia, Trader Joes in America, and some independent stores in the UK plus Whole Foods, specialty Fruit & Veg providores all over the world also offer a bounty of other temptations that wave the banner <span style="color: #e06666;">"Healthy!"</span>. Mixed nut bags, carob and yoghurt coated things, fruit bars, meat jerkys, confectionery, vegie crisps, bakery items from fresh to imported and gluten-free... these aren't part of the Rainbow and including them in your shopping basket will quickly blow your budget.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">And remember a few key words: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Fresh (or fresh-frozen). Seasonal. Local & Organic. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Buy in bulk; use a variety of ways; freeze, and share! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Here I'll show you LOTS of easy ways & ideas to Eat your rainbow; cheaper and more pleasurably!</span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ol><li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b> Frozen and tetra-packed pure fruits and vegetables are just as nutritious as fresh. </b>Whilst we're talking about frozen desserts, do pick up a frozen bag of <b>mixed berries</b>. One of nature's natural superfoods,<b> blueberries</b> and their siblings are a storehouse of nutrients and deliciously healthy phytochemicals which boost and protect our immune system. The beauty of frozen fruits and vegetables is how long they last, which stretches their value financially out, too! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Priceless family times happen in the kitchen, so cook your own comfort food </b>A kitchen warmed by the glow of the oven and everyone mucking in with the preparation - and cleaning up!- creates a cosy family meal to remember. Here are some cost-effective ideas for Rainbow meals:</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Mac-Off!</i> Swap the stodge for just as comforting <b>Cauliflower</b> & Cheese. It's a rainbow too, when we can use<b> purple and green caulis </b>(natural hybrids). Mix in a cup of <b>grated carrot</b> and dot with <b>cherry tomatoes</b> for a colourful, creamy treat!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Ratatouille</b>, made with the rainbow of red <b>tomatoes, orange & yellow bell peppers, green courgette and purple aubergine</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Multi-coloured world of different textures:</b> just think of a lovely green vegetable that is sooo good for us and kind on the wallet too. Loved by adults and children alike, it's the garden <b>pea.</b> Frozen they can be blended into a deliciously filling fresh soup using vegetable bouillion and unsweetened <b>pumpkin</b> puree, seasoned with herbs and pepper. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Added to salads they add a sweet bite; stirred into rice they add pretty contrast and children love to mix them into mashed <b>sweet or plain potato</b>es.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Speaking of mash, what about using the same vegetable or fruit in a variety of new, clever ways? Instead of mashed potato, have you tried the British favourite, mashed <b>swede & carrot</b> ? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What about mashed cheap n cheerful <b>celeriac</b>, loved by the Irish, or champ- <b>spring onions or leeks</b> mixed with mashed potato? </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Pureed <b>fruits with bruised skin</b> can make <b>popsicles</b> or <b>stirred into unsweetened yoghurt</b> for a healthy, colourful pudding. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Diced <b>apples</b> and <b>pears</b> are delicious in a salad (add nuts too for a satisfying winter meal)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For a really special treat, have a fondue evening using a <b>Rainbow plate</b> of vegetables for main course, and fruits for dessert!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Experiment:</b> Children can select a different veg to add to the Rainbow each week. If you're clever enough to substitute this for a sweet purchase, there's no end to the fun you can have matching colours & it'll save you money! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Button yellow squash </b>is probably cheaper than a "banana flavoured" icecream as a treat, a red <b>pomegranate </b>tastier and more fun than a toffee apple, and making sliced <b>beets </b>from scratch so much more satisfying than scoffing a calorie-laden, chemically loaded chocolate pudding!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Remember our dried Rainbow friends for a burst of sweetness!</b> Leftover or freshly-steamed rice becomes something special, like a <b>Pilaf</b>, when we blend favourite spices such as tumeric with <b>sultanas</b>, dessicated <b>coconut</b> and chopped dried <b>apricots</b>. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A squeeze of from a fresh <b>lemon or lime</b> also lends brightness and a shot of vitamin C, and leftovers can be <b>sliced and used in tea </b>or water as a refreshing healthy drink. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Dried fruits</b> can last for months or enjoyed instead of sweets as a <b>high-energy snack</b>. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Herbs </b>can be a rainbow, too, and here are ways to work them into your budget! Use<b> rosemary</b> stalks as <b>kebab sticks for other veggies </b>and enjoy the fragrant petals they'll add to the food- rosemary is a common plant in many places and picking a little of mother nature's bounty <b>may cost you nothing at all!</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Re: buying fresh herbs.<b> This can seem costly when you only need a little</b> <b>but</b> consider the versatility of a bunch of <b>basil</b>, which is well-known for it's astringent & healing properties, full of vitamin C and anti-oxidants. For instance, you can:</span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whiz up your own <b>pesto</b> with two handfuls of leaves + <b>pinenuts</b></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">Layer the larger leaves with </span><b style="text-align: left;">tomatoes</b><span style="text-align: left;"> and soft cheese cut into discs to make "insalata caprese"</span></span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Tear and add to puree tomato for a healthier sauce as a base for <b>chilli, ratatouille or home-made pizza</b></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">Fold into dough with</span><b style="text-align: left;"> olives</b><span style="text-align: left;"> to make an italian scented <b>ciabatta</b></span></span></li>
<li><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Add the larger leaves to a warming thai coconut curry and garnish with the smaller</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Parsley, especially the flat-leaved variety</b> is just as versatile; it's fresh taste brings life to any dish and just a handful is classed as one of our 5 per day. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Add as much as you like to <b>green smoothies and fresh soups</b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Keep the <b>remains of the bunch on the table</b> in a tall glass for family members to nibble on as a snack throughout the day. <i>Trust me, it's addictive!</i></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">One more herb well worth the cost is <b>Coriander or Cilantro</b>. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #ea9999; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">With a little planning you'll find uses for this nutrition-packed herb abundant: as a <b>carrot & coriander soup</b>; in warming <b>mexican-inspired chilli </b>or <b>bean bake</b>s; in a<b> fresh salsa</b> blended with <b>tomatoes & onion</b> or chopped finely and sprinkled over <b>salads or guacamole</b>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lastly, whatever time of year you'd like to feed your family healthier on a budget, think to include the exotic <b>Rainbow in jars. </b></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A few drained <b>sundried tomatoes or olives, sliced pickled beetroot, pickles or artichokes</b>, a handful of <b>caper berries </b>or dried <b>mushrooms</b> added to a dish will turn an ordinary vegetable dish into something singing with flavour!</span></li>
</ol><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Who says you can't feed your family deliciously well on a budget? Just remember to buy the freshest, most local or organic produce you can, <span style="font-size: large;">making sure variety and seasonality are at the top of your shopping list, and you'll have the healthiest, brightest bounty on a budget than ever before!</span></span></div><br />

<div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Further we welcome the Year of the Dragon as the new moon enters on Monday.</b> The Dragon's power energy of change, celebration, and exuberent optimism will feel like a Whoooosh! of fresh air. For many it will bring about a serious <i><span style="font-size: large;">Aha!</span></i> moment and you'll be off and jogging your blessed path this year!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Expect a spiritual click where everything seems to fall into place.</span></b> You'll more fully see how your presence and purpose can flow into your activities and feel calmer ad clearer about achieving your goals.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>At this time the angels are calling you</i>. You can more easily access their guidance. Especially Sunday is a day for spending quiet time in meditation, in a bubble bath, journalling or day-dreaming. You <i>will</i> receive messages if you do this. The angels have assured me!</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Often we are also drawn to what I like to call our earthly angelic friends- Crystals. Their energies are very similar to the angelic realm but more tangibly, they give us something to "hold on to" and travel with. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If you would like to dedicate a crystal at this time to helping you on your journey this year, or to place in your home for cleansing, blessing and protection (EXTREMELY AUSPICIOUS at Chinese New Year),</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>I have a Crystal Energy Ritual for you to use</b>. It' easy and it's free to to those on my feng shui list. <span style="font-size: large;"> If you are not already on the list, <a href="http://visitor.r20.constantcontact.com/d.jsp?llr=7uzm4ocab&p=oi&m=1102161798812" target="_blank">you can add your name here,</a> and I'll send it to you!</span></span></div><div><br />

<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Fish</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The word for fish, "Yu", sounds like Wish and Abundance! It's customary to serve a fish whole at Chinese new year, and for guests to help themselvs to the gleaming, healthy dish. <a href="http://www.bodyism.com/" target="_blank">James Duigan, author of the Clean and Lean diet</a>, reckons grilled fish and salad is the healthiest meal one can have. James, if it works for your best client Elle (Macpherson), we'll be eating it every day this year!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lettuce (with food wrapped inside it= having a child soon!) meaning abundance of good fortune, and sea vegetables, symbolising and bringing prosperity, are wonderful foods to welcome luck at Chinese New Year.</span><br />

She gave expert Feng Shui advice on how to present the home which resulted in a great sale. Then Samantha assisted in the purchase of my next property - advising which directions would work best for a harmonious home environment. After undertaking a thorough study and writing a full and detailed report of the house I now live in, Samantha's parting words were that this would be "the house of happy coincidences". And it really has. Samantha has so many talents - her spiritual readings and guidance (face to face and via email) are full of wisdom and loving kindness and have proven to be 100% accurate. She is a true expert in her field and is an absolutely delightful being.” - Jennie Smiedt, Sydney, Australia.</span> </div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">xo</span>Samantha Honeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270013305958954822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205626476277844497.post-3760017121391188402012-01-11T16:07:00.000+00:002012-01-11T16:07:37.678+00:00Finding What was Lost<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">..</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Ah-zhO8nzI/Tw2wulxplUI/AAAAAAAABzU/xjnt0jYJm8A/s1600/yasmina-rossi-Y+Boulder+house.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1Ah-zhO8nzI/Tw2wulxplUI/AAAAAAAABzU/xjnt0jYJm8A/s320/yasmina-rossi-Y+Boulder+house.jpg" width="216" /></a><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #333333; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"My angels </b>are old women with dark skin and long grey hair.

<br />
We get a chance to push the pause button. <i>Do you get that?</i><br />
It's our chance to go back to those lucid days just before and after Christmas, when time was a little bit softer, like icing not yet set on a cake, we could prod it see if it made sense.<br />
<br />
<b>Sunday. Monday.</b> Prod your new year. Your dreams and desires. See if they make sense.<br />
<br />
The Wolf moon is so named because at this lean, hungry time in the history of the native american indians, the wolves would come close to the campsites and howl at the full moon. It must have been a fearful time for them. Yet also, strangely comforting. Mammals drawing close for warmth, acknowledging a force neither of them understood. The Moon still controls our tides, the efficacy of our medicines, our womanly cycle. Do we understand it? No. By watching, observing, waiting, we can learn.<br />
<br />
<b>The appearance, presence or memory of Wolf as an animal in your life is recognised to bestow upon you the gift of teacher of spirit.</b><br />
<br />
I invite you.<br />
Examine how the medicine of the Wolf relates to you at this time. <b> How do you need to share your gift of the sacred and the spiritual with your pack? What do you see, that they don't? What must be said, for your peace and their protection?</b>Samantha Honeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10270013305958954822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205626476277844497.post-89790656240131800862012-01-06T13:16:00.000+00:002012-01-06T13:16:25.980+00:00Winter Cravings & how a Highly Sensitive Person can handle them<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hm4AVOr3TXY/Twbd4Bto-_I/AAAAAAAAByk/M_CWPdo-Zbs/s1600/cosy+fire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hm4AVOr3TXY/Twbd4Bto-_I/AAAAAAAAByk/M_CWPdo-Zbs/s400/cosy+fire.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Do you have a strong sense of intuition?</b></span><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br />
</b></span><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Do you also have a problem with eating- like strong cravings, compulsive or over-eating... especially during the winter months?</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Believe it or not... (and I'm sure you will at some level) these two questions are linked. And if you answered "yes" to both, you're definitely not alone. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><i><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">"As a flight attendant, before I realised I was "picking up" all my passengers' worries of flying, I would come home from a shift and eat a whole box of breakfast cereal. I found the sweetness and crunchiness soothed the angst I was feeling, seemingly from nowhere. "</span></i></blockquote><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Our six senses pick up on the extra information in the world around us that less sensitive individuals remain unaware of- information including premonitions, hunches, or emotions from others around us.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This information isn't easily processed by our rational brains. We're not wired in the way that interprets touching a hot stove as- <i>ouch! danger! burnies! </i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br />
</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><b>It's like we are babies again who don't know why they are upset. When we pick up information we subconsciously realise as important, but don't have the ability to "translate"- it, as babies we cried. As adults, we just feel bad, or sad.</b></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br />
</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Often, people turn to food when they are feeling depressed. <i>Why? </i> Mental health professionals say we want to "squash down" our emotions or "fill the emotional emptiness". <u>There's also a biochemical reason.</u> Eating, especially eating carbohydrates, raises the seratonin levels in our body. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Seratonin is the feel-good hormone produced by the consumption of carbohydrates.</b> What is it you crave when you're feeling down? Chips? Bread? Cakes? Cookies? Donuts? Sweets? If so, you're responding to your body's natural desire to feel good.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, why more in winter? Sunlight also stimulates the production of seratonin in the brain- which is why going outside in the sunshine is a valuable remedy to feeling sad. If we've not got the sunshine, we may try to elevate our body's seratonin levels by over-eating starchy carbs like those above.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>It helps to realise that the feelings you can't communicate when you head to the cookie jar may not have anything to do with you at all.</b> Perhaps your sister or husband are in a glum mood or worried about something, ad you've just picked up on it. As a flight attendant, before I realise I was "picking up" all my passengers worries of flying, I would come home from a shift and eat a whole box of breakfast cereal. I found the sweetness and crunchiness soothed the angst I was feeling, seemingly from nowhere. I'd had a great day flying, so why the sadness? It was all the energy of others still clinging to me like psychic rubbish that it was, bringing me down.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">'There are many supportive practices healthy, successful artists and intuitives weave into their every day to keep happy and helpful...'</span></blockquote><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">How to handle winter cravings</span>.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br />
</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If you eat to feel better, and if you consistently do feel bad or sad for no good reason, I recommend you do two things. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br />
</i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. <b>You can't back out of your high level of intuition.</b> Each gift is a curse in a way! <b> So you must use techniques to get rid of the psychic rubbish you will inevitably pick up. </b>Try one or all of these:</span></div><div><ul><li><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Change or brush down your clothes and brush your hair after you have been in contact with someone who is in an extreme negative mood- such as anger, worry, fear or depression. This is so important if you come home from a day at work surrounded by such people. <u>Have a bath or shower and change your clothes BEFORE putting any food in your mouth</u>!!</i></li>
<li><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Spritz the room or around yourself with a blend of essential oils mixed with spring water. Lavender + lemon + cedarwood are my favourites for the calming, refreshing and change-manifest qualities they represent.</i></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Carry a quartz crystal and use it as a touchstone- hold it and ask it to take any energy you have picked up on that you do not need, from you.</i></span> </li>
</ul></div><div><br />
</div><div><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. </i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Do your body and health a favour by naturally raising your seratonin levels healthfully, without the negative effects (sugar highs and lows, weight gain, increased risk of disease and mood swings) of stodgy carbohydrates- here's how!</b><b> </b></span></div><div><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</i></div><div><ul><li><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Eat coriander, eggs, turkey, and avocados regularly- these contain the amino acid tryptophan used by the body to make seratonin</i></li>
<li><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Expose yourself daily to sunshine, especially in the winter. Ten minutes a day is enough!</i></li>
<li><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Chew your food slowly (increases seratonin)</i></li>
<li><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Vitamin B and B6 supplements can be helpful</i></li>
<li><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Avoid artificial sweeetners which slow the production of seratonin</i><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </i></li>
</ul><i style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(1.)</span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Happy Twixmas!</span> </span> <i>Are you finding it difficult? </i> Lots of us come down with a bump when dreams of bestest presents, happy families, quality conversation and even good weather expectations wouldn't,<i> just couldn't</i> be met. The magic of Christmas makes us believe it could be so, but <b><i>the magic of real-life</i></b> means that the turkey gets burned and we end up eating roasties with bacon and eggs- laughing and making memories unprecedented! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Instead of blaming ourselves and soothing that feeling of inadequacy with <i>shop-shop-shop</i>, you also could "don't do as I do", and set yourself up three weeks beforehand for disappointment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>They say a cynic is a idealist who has had their heart trampled on.</b> The bitter shell of cynicism keeps us safe from feeling the magic and joy, not just of Christmas, but <i>every day</i>. </span> how sad.</span></div></div><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>I beg of you not to let disappointment you have suffered get in the way of your brilliant dreams and plans for the most stunning of years ahead, 2012. </b> We're still a few days away! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A few questions I'm considering as a recovering cynic. I'm not shouting to the world what this year will bring to me. I'm even not offering up my soul for the use of God, this time. I'm walking towards the light. I'm feeling the pull of the yearn. I'm finding safe guides. I'm beginning, ever so gently, to put pressure on myself again. <b> For time is short my friends. And it is the only thing we cannot get back...</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>ONE power animal guides and leads us through the year.</b> This creature has so much wisdom and is so pure of heart, I urge you to find it. It's not domesticated: you may already know what your power animal of 2012 is. Otherwise, it is an animal you may come across; in your walks, in paintings or stories, in a vague inkling that you want to know more about them. may I recommend a book and friend on this journey?: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Walrus-Knows-Sarah-Bamford-Seidelmann/dp/0615556973" target="_blank">"What the Walrus knows"</a> by <a href="http://followyourfeelgood.com/" target="_blank">Sarah Bamford Seidelman</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">you need neither, but their beautiful presence in your life will open so much bizarre beauty. <b>Find your 2012 animal</b>. <span style="font-size: large;">How?</span> Ask the angels before you sleep to show it to you. (This is how I found mine, as well as much yearnings to see him on my walks, on a wintry branch, then in the first scene of the movie Gladiator, which we watched last night) <b>Next, google your animal as "Spirit Totem" ... and find out your message & guidance for 2012.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><br />
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>2. What would be too painful to even consider for you, this time next year?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We can live day in and out running to patch up messes that could pull "life as we know it" to bits...or <b>be so busy shining a new path and helping others that nothing can disturb our peace of course</b>. This is why we need to know what we want, and promise ourselves the worthiness to get it. Maybe you have had disappointments this year. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Are you willing to be in the same place this time next year? Are you willing to let that happen again? </span></span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. Breathe. Name them. Tell them you're not afraid.</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. My personal remedy; don't do so much today. You've probably got enough- <i><span style="color: #990000;">so there!, No't Enough</span></i>. <b>You don't need any more "Just in case"</b>.</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Powerfully cleansing is to make your own cranberry sauce. A bag of cranberries, 3/4 cup of sugar and 1 cup water simmering on the stove <b>with the zest of half an orange brightens, warms and wards off these creeps of doubt</b>. But don't rush out to buy these... just a pot of water with orange peel, cinnamon and a few cloves will do the same trick.</span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. I also love to <b>clean the house on Christmas Eve</b>. you could try it too- it's wonderful for finding hidden goodies perfect to wrap up in that last scrap of paper and ensures you wake up feeling excited and proud tomorrow, instead of with a regretful hangover from a ghastly- ghostly?- day of excess today.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>And this close to Christmas, too!</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Like all the Saggittarians I know, my lovely husband is a happy-go-lucky adventurer with his hands in as many pies as possible.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Saggittarians are strong-willed and usually sociable. <i>But when there's something on their minds they can be impossible to cajole from their caves. </i> Such was the affliction here and we found that <b>this</b> saggy-trousers didn't want to share with friends or family much- well- <b>at all</b>, on his special day. <b>No party???</b> Oh, the curse of the "0" birthday!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Happily we both got inspired by a traditional Aussie recipe celebrated this time of year down under. Importing it to the Isle of Man seemed an ideal alternative to a Winter Sun escape...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>To make a PAVLOVA</b> is so beautifully simple that even I, who quavers under the responsibility of making a pretty cake from scratch, let alone a BIRTHDAY cake, was doing jim-jiminies in the kitchen.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You'll need:</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">6 free-range eggs, seperated (whites needed only)</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1 1/4 cup caster sugar</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2 tsps cornflour</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1 tsp vinegar</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1/2 teapoon vanilla essence</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">300ml double or whipping cream (please choose organic proen to be better for our health and the planet) </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Selection of soft fruits to decorate (Down Under they favour kiwis, bananas and passionfruit puree. Here I used pomegranates, sliced mango, banana and strawberries)</span></li>
</ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7dckWltBP_M/TuX_BowaEwI/AAAAAAAABwk/Gd45BDmPwpA/s1600/pav+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7dckWltBP_M/TuX_BowaEwI/AAAAAAAABwk/Gd45BDmPwpA/s320/pav+1.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div><ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In a clean dry bowl beat the egg whites til soft peaks form</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Slowly add the sugar one small pour at a time (I'd like to experiment next time by adding less sugar) and mix til just combined</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When all the sugar is beaten in, add the cornflour, vinegar and vanilla extract</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Spoon the mixture on to a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spoon it into a round shape (you can trace a circle onto the baking parchment using a cake tin) Alert: it will keep round but may also expand widthways as well as upwards so allow plenty of extra paper at the sides.</span></li>
<li><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Bake in a pre-heated to 120 degrees C oven for 1 and a half hours </b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">or until firm to the touch.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once firm, turn the oven off and leave the meringue to cool completely in the oven with the door ajar.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whip the cream and slice the fruits prettily for decoration.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once the meringue base is cool, spoon the whipped cream over the base</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">decorate with the fresh fruits and serve immediately.</span></li>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Fancy a spot of mind reading to help things flow your way, today?</span></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">part of my Claim your Psychic Power for professionals program is a exercise called "Tuning into WII FM" </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's an enlightening experience and I want to share it with you here.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We've done it here at home this morning- there's an important letter that needs sent to a difficult individual and we want a specific outcome...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Do you have to communicate with someone today and you feel it could be tricky? </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Want to guarantee a good outcome?</b></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here's How!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This takes all of 60 seconds- <i>come on- try it...</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. Grab a piece of paper and a pen, crayon or texta</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. Draw however many people are in your dilemma. In our dilemma this morning, it was just two: my husband, and the individual concerned. We drew a round head each. If it's your dilemma, you will be one of the figures.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. Now this bit is important!- draw earphones or a headset on each head, and in a thought bubble: "Listening to WII FM- What's In It For Me?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. Under each of the figures <b>list what's important to them</b>. In the interaction, and also their personal dreams, goals and desires... <b>if you don't know, imagine being the other person. </b>What's their day like? Picture their home life, their job? What matters to them?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. When you list the same thing under more than one figure, this becomes a bonding point. You must be sure to weave this into your interaction and identify to the other person that you share the goal too!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">5. By making sure your offer or communication fulfills or isn't in direct conflict with the other party's goals, <b>your request is seen as kind and easy by the other</b>. They will be grateful for your communication and try and give you what you're seeking as far as possible- as if by magic!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Tuning into another's favourite radio station- WII FM - is a wonderful way to develop your powers of perception, compassion and clarity in communication. <i>It works great on stubborn kids, too!</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(if we're not getting up to witness a sunrise like this, that is!)</span><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Stretch. </b> awakening all those helpful muscles which have been softly healing and supportive all night. try to touch the ceiling and do a few belly-dance style figure of eights (<a href="http://www.bellydancingvideo.com/hip-circle-moves.htm" target="_blank">easy how-to, here!</a>) as you prepare your morning hot drink, switching on your core muscles for the day.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Brush your hair.</b> I love the first hair-brush of the morning.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">...wanted to share with you the most lovely AHA! moment I've recently been through.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As you may be aware, soon I'll be qualified as professional holistic health counsellor with the <a href="http://www.integrativenutrition.com/" target="_blank">Institute of Integrative Nutrition</a>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>My journey led me here.</b> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">just as </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">All our journeys have led us to where we are right now.</span></i><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Spirit- mostly angels- and food have been the only constants in my surprising life and this AHA! has been discovering that <b>it is through tying together the two I know I can shine my light most beautifully on the world</b>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It may have been the amazing experience of <a href="http://www.holisticmba.com/" target="_blank">Holistic MBA</a> live last week...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Or the recent letter I received from a client back from feng shui days who asked me if "my gifts had moved on" ie. if I was no longer the psychic intuitive that I was; and so helpful with it, a few years ago... <i>oh, this hurt, angels!</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I've VOWED to no longer stand with my back to the sun- or the Sea. <i>Ever.</i> Not in my work as a massage therapist, personal trainer, health counsellor or professional feng shui practitioner. I'm not clinical. Nor are my beautiful band of angels- the clients who seek me out wherever I hide on this planet, and call me to share their- Your- inspiring journey.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>A clinical approach is not my way of healing. </b> In my belief, a clinical approach- in life. in love. in health. will not work.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's all spirit. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">We are spirit.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(I'll teach you how to be your own psychic, too.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, welcome to spirit-based health and a dream life.</span></b><br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Welcome to my love and support on your journey</span></b><br />

Our vibration attracts it's match in the world around us.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When we're aware- <i><b>as I know you are!</b></i>- of the law of attraction, we can be so busy trying to be "up" or positive in our vibration--- that we supress what's underneath--- YET it's what's underneath that is our true vibration and what the world is responding to, not our surface positive thinking or desperate affirmations! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i><br />
</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>I know I've done this... been thinking so positively, but inside asking why nothing's going right. Have you had this experience, too? Oh dear! </i> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>SO-- what to do to truly lift our energy and start to see the marvellous manifestations we deserve?</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Quite simply <b>we can't bottle deep worries, the quiet fears anymore.</b> We have to bring them out into the open and clear them. This is an amazingly effective process especially when done at a date and time the universe supports you. It's the extra <b>THRUST</b> of support we need to step permanently up on the next ladder-rung of vibration. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Where more good things start showing up. More regularly.</span></b></span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This morning I walked our beach with a confused heart over a female friend.

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I stop to offer my sadness to the sea.

Even... inviting. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
By Ina Woolcott<br />
<br />
Seal's medicine includes protection during change, dreaming and lucid dreaming, imagination, creativity, protection from danger, movement through emotions, the inner voice<br />
<br />
Seals as sea mammals, are highly symbolic of our feeling, sensual selves. The seal helps us to remember our connection to our deep inner rhythms, feelings, and knowing, as represented by the sea. Seal being a good swimmer and knowing how to flow with the ever changing current, reminds <i>us</i> how to swim with the current. When we do this the negative feelings we have created such as worry, fear and anxiety are released from our minds. <b>If seal enters your life, you are being asked to review the ebb and flow of your thoughts and emotions and find and keep up a point of balance.</b> <br />
Water is a creative element and symbolises the feminine imagination and intuition. If the seal appears in your life, pay close attention to your imagination and insight - in the waking state<i>and</i> in dreamtime. A lot of what you imagine generally has a strong basis in reality, no matter how far-off it may seem.<br />
<br />
They teach those with this totem how to flow, how to hear, and how to discover the deeper mysteries of their true nature. Seals are keepers of wisdom. They reveal to us what is hidden deep within ourselves, and teach us how to integrate our imagination with the reasoning power of the intellect. This will give balance and harmony on all levels.<br />
<br />
The seal which is so sleek and gorgeous in the water, teaches us how to feel at home in our bodies, and to uncover our inner beauty.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Last night we were on a mission to test Jamie Oliver.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As a long-time purveyor of pizzas-from-scratch; I needed to test that the terracotta pizza dish from Jamie's homewares line, <a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/">Jamie at Home</a>, could become the new cooking and serving plate of choice (because no matter how delicious, a black tin fresh and smokin'from the oven just doesn't serve up pretty.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Before the girls arrived, I prepped two fresh pizzas.</span> Toppings of homemade tomato passata, sliced green pepper and chorizo; just like Guiseppe at Brindisi of Stirling taught my husband, and husband taught me <i>(don't worry! I streeeetched out the learning process! YUM.)<a href="http://localhost:51651/951d3d79432027faaaa69cc85877605c/image/5dfbf84680719602.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://localhost:51651/951d3d79432027faaaa69cc85877605c/image/5dfbf84680719602.jpg?size=320" style="clear: both; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" /></a></i> ... topped with a mixture of cheddar + mozzarella, doused in fresh black pepper and drizzled with our own chilli oil.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's not warm here, so both rested on the bench for about half an hour while we warmed into the Jamie party,<i> ooohed</i> and <i>ahhed</i> over the goodies, and gossiped about his cooking. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I explained the challenge, then at 220C for 16 minutes into the oven the pizzas went. <b>Terracotta plate on top shelf... I somehow felt I had to give it a hand!</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When the pizzas came out we poured another glass of wine each, and speculated for another ten minutes before the final test!</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>In sum, even though I am a Jamie at Home consultant; I was initially skeptical. But the beautiful way the terracotta presents really did take the cake- ahem, pizza- over the tin.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">as a little tip, for a browned base all the way through, I'll make the terracotta plate REALLY hot in the heated oven first before gently placing my pre-prepared pizza on it, next time.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A few new friends & I enjoyed the most delicious <a href="http://www.jamieoliver.com/">Jamie at Home Party</a> last night.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">When you host a Jamie At Home, it's not compulsory you're a dynamite DIY cook- a bag of crisps and some cut up carrots would be enough! Guests that don't bring their own wine are after a glass of water or cup of tea- easy!- and the <strong>conversation is aways. So. Good.</strong><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-H5qjA7f4T6s/TqsMguTW9EI/AAAAAAAABuM/Di1uLo8MNfA/s1600/IMG_0016.JPG"><strong></strong></a> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><em>I'm experimenting with food these days.</em> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #bf9000; font-size: large;"><strong>The experiment is to take the tastes we love; the tastes we may be secretly addicted to; and ease us ourselves out of it gently.</strong> </span>So I home-made these muffin-tin quiches for the party. <em>Aren't they cute?</em> <b>Leek & cheese, salt n pepper the only filling. </b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yes, I used ready-roll puff pastry. But it's a really healthy take on any store-bought alternative filled with g-knows-what. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">They are lacto-ovo vegetarian (check your pastry to make sure it doesn't contain animal fats) and low sugar, too.</span><br />

<strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here's how!<br />
</span></strong><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I used 2/3 block "just-rol" or enough thin refrigerated puff-pastry discs to fill 18 regular muffin-pan holes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Pre-heat the oven to 200/380</span></em></li>
<li><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lightly grease & flour a muffin baking tray. Using a large mug (Jamie's Mug in a Tin works perfect!) or pastry cutter, place pastry discs in the muffin tray. The pastry discs need only to come up a quarter or half of the sides of the muffin space as it puffs up and protects/forms remarkably!</span></em></li>
<li><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Pierce the bottoms of the "muffins" with a fork and pre-bake in your oven for 10 mins. Meanwhile...</span></em></li>
<li><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Bring a small fry-pan to medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon butter with a tiny bit of olive oil (prevents the butter burning) Slice 1 large leek up to the darker green bit, and sautee in the butter/oil, gently, for 10 mins. We want the leeks softly brown.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Whisk 4 large eggs with a fork or egg whisk in a jug. Season with salt n pepper. Grate 100g cheddar cheese into the mixture and stir to combine.</span></em></li>
<li><em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Pull the muffin tray from the oven. Add about a teaspoon of leeks to each pastry, and top with a tablespoon or more of the egg n cheese mixture. </span></em></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><em>Pop back in the oven for 15-20 minutes until pastry is brown around the edges...</em> now, you'll have a delightful mini-quiche bubbling with melted cheese! delicious served with a green salad and fresh tomato salsa.</span></li>
</ul><br />
