Your Authentic Style

How The Caterpillar Finds its True Self: 


"Before the caterpillar begins the transfiguration process, she eats and eats, that's all she does for days. Then she'll climb up on some kind of slanted stick or a root with a pointed end that's stretching up toward infinity. Slowly she creeps. Slowly, slowly, slowly. When she gets to the top, probably thinking, "Whew!", her life's work is just begun. For now she begins to weave a silk thread around herself to create a sacred place - the chrysalis- in which to sleep. While she is sleeping Mother Nature deconstructs her form and the caterpillar undergoes a transformation; her body completely breaks down and is turned to liquid. From this watery substance a butterfly takes form, and when the transformation is complete she breaks through, a completely new being. Her true self.


Each of us has an authentic style, and we manifest it in our appearance, in the way we decorate, the way we arrange flowers, the way we cook. We manifest it in every choice we make because we are artists of every day. I believe that authentic style is a a gift of Spirit, and that when we celebrate who we are, Spirit blesses us and we become women (people) of substance, style and spirit." 
                     The Simple Abundance Companion - Sarah Ban Breathnach


Much like a butterfly flies from side to side to get to it's destination, we as human "spirit creatures" do the same. We flit and flirt with many sides to come to one ultimate destination; our true selves.

11 Secrets For Exercise Success.

If you ever look at some people who always manage to stay in shape and wonder what's so special about them, now, you may not have to. Just as there are proven "secrets" to the rich, famous and any other class in between on how they got there, there are also secrets of the slim and svelte. Follow me: Secret #1:   Having a clear and realistic image of your own ideal body in your mind (and not Giselle Bunchden's!)  Reason it works: No one is 100% identical to another so to get a good, sound image of your own frame structure, height, and problem areas will leave you feeling more motivated rather than envious of Brazilian beach beauties.  Your Method: Specifically decide what your ultimate goal is - to add more muscle mass, tone up certain areas or lose 20lbs - then imagine what you will look like at the end of your journey. If you can, conjure up this ideal image in your head when you're working out, feeling lazy and about to ignore your workout, or feeling a

Not So Easy Come, Easy Go! Bittersweet Work Tale.

It's Hump Day! Well I haven't been as frequent as I would have liked to have been on here in the last few weeks due to the fact that I was job-hunting and getting Milani back into school. It's such a roller-coaster ride trying to find a job. It's crazy how much money is required of a person who has been unemployed for over three years in this country. Everything is super-duper expensive and people just act like, "Well don't you have someone you can call for a few dollars?", to which the answer is a resounding, "NOooooooo!". People try to help in some cases but most of the time they just want to hear themselves talk and sound good while doing so. Anyhow, my efforts did not go in vain and by the grace of God I found something. It was not exactly what I wanted but it was a job! As a security officer, I thought I would be wielding a baton and fighting bad guys but instead, I was immersed smack-dab into the tourism industry. I was stationed at Su
