7 Easy Tips to add bliss to your life...

1. Kick Start your day

Start your day with a glass of warm water, juice of 1/2 lemon. To change things up I may add a teaspoon of raw honey or ginger or 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. I have also been known to add all ingredients at once. 

2. Enjoy a Luxurious Bath 

Teat yourself to a weekly bath with pampering items such as Laura Mercier bath products. I create a luxurious and relaxing setting by adding soothing music, fragrant candle, white plush towels, and a white bathrobe I use only for my special bath time.

3. Slow down in your day ...

Recharge over daily afternoon tea. For the past few years I have made it a point to enjoy a cup of tea in my day. Boil the water, wait for the tea to steep (use a teapot) and savor it from a china teacup.  

4. Relax your mind

With the constant demands of being connected 24/7 technology that is meant to help us is actually robbing us of our much needed time to just be and give our mind time to relax and recharge. I start and often finish my day with  meditation. Some sittings I will mediate for 10 minutes and others I manage 30 minutes - what is important is that you take time to be in the moment.

5. Move your body

It's important to help the flow of energy through our body. Whether it's a walk around the block, or a walk through the mall ... just move for at least 30 minutes each day. I Practice hatha yoga 2-3 times per week and have been doing barre at least once a week. With the warm weather upon us getting out in the garden is another great way to move your body.

6. Add veggies/fruits to every meal

 If you are like me eating my daily requirement of fruits and veggies can be a challenge. BUT, I have been working at adding more of both into my daily eating and it is showing in how my body functions and how my hair and skin looks and feels. One way I add them is my drinking smoothies that are fruit and veggie based, and by ensuring I eat either a piece of fruit or vegetable with each meal.

7. Give Back

The joy and inner peace that comes with giving to help others is amazing. I volunteer my time with Canadian Blood Services and BIST (Brain Injury Society of Toronto) and I can't begin to put into words that warmth I feel by helping others.

What tips can you share to add bliss to life?

7 Years Ago Today ... To Heaven and Back

Sometimes things happen in life not of our choosing and often making no sense at the time - if it ever makes sense. What I have learned first hand is that though it makes no sense - no matter if it is good or bad - everything in life happens for a reason.

Seven years ago today (October 28th, 2006) at 8:30 p.m. life as I had know it came to an end. That is when I was struck by a careless driver as I crossed the street to a friend's home for the celebration of another friend's birthday(you can read more here). Sometime between being struct and awakening from my coma 2-3 weeks before Christmas while my body lay mangled and broken my spirit returned home to heaven. I may not recall the accident - but I recall every moment of my journey and the beauty I saw and heard during my time in heaven (you can read more here)

I am still getting my bearings with this "new" life and trying to create a me that fits, but what I am more certain than ever is that I am meant to live a life of service, to help others who are struggling with change in their life. Despite all the odds of my survival from the doctors - I survived, and am not just existing - I'm THRIVING!!

So as of this year ~ I will no longer look at this date October 28th as an ending ... But instead as a BEGINNING ... Happy 7 years of Re-birth to me!!! 

To all the wonderful new visitors and regular readers of this blog know that no matter what life throws at you - IT WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER ... even when it all seems hopeless! I hope that I continue to inspire and motivate you to live  your best High Heeled Life! 

Hugs and Blessings,
