Angel Eating

Posted on 09. Sep, 2010 by kris.

Well Good Morning!

Thank you for all the beautiful comments, “Cheer Ups” and recommendations for my Funk yesterday!  I definitely took some of your suggestions and applied them.

Ameena – I ate chocolate and drank tea

Joanna – I totally hit the gym for a sweaty workout!

and Kelsey – I rocked my  blog reading last night as well.

Boom! Funk was gone and I felt amazing Went to bed after a relaxing bath with a smile on my face.

So this morning I feel New again and ready to tackle my day.

Again, green tea has been my hot bevy of choice this morning as it is meet mom and nana for lunch and coffee day today.  We are off to West Vancouver to hit up Whole Foods and then S’Bucks

Yesterday while out with mom I ordered a grande decaf Americano and part way through I could tell it wasn’t decaf!  Man, I can’t remember the last time I had real coffee!!  My little heart was a racin!  Thats probably what funkdified me late yesterday!

My smoothie this morning wasn’t so Green!

I am flat out of spinach, and field greens doesn’t taste to good in my opinion in a smoothie (been there done that!) so this mornings smoothie was 1/2 a banana, a whack of chia seeds and 2 scoops of Cafe Caramel Brown Rice Protein Powder. This smoothie tasted like a cold S’bucks bevy!

Remember I had mentioned I was reading my Angels 101 book by Doreen Virtue? Well I am done that one and have transitioned my reads to another one:

Angel Therapy!

This has been very, very interesting for me to learn. This morning I read a bit of the book while sipping the green tea and I read that when you are connected to your higher being (angels, god, universe, whatever you call it) they will direct you into eating very clean, and healthy.

The author even went into saying that the angels will guide you (it is your choice to listen or not, but they may have lead you to a vegan cook book and you never picked it up) to a dairy free, meat free, stimulant free and sugar free diet.

Why?  Because she believes these foods hold your vibrations lower as they can clog up the body causing least amount of flow from your angels through you.  She also mentioned that if you eat meat on a regular you will be able to harbour the pain that the animals had gone through during their life and their there end.

For myself since eating clean and more alkaline I can easily say I feel more connected to myself, and learning just now how to be connected to a higher spiritual being.

What are you thoughts on this?  Do you believe that you are guided in directions and sometimes you do and don’t listen?  Do you believe that what you eat determines how your body flows?

P.S. major exciting news is coming very soon!

Do You Believe In Angels?

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend?  Mine was full of good food as you could see in my last post

Today is the LAST day to enter for 1 Month Free FIT CHICKS GI JANE Bootcamp Giveaway! There are many wonderful locations across Canada for all you lovely ladies to try!  Enter Now!

This weekend wasn’t just full of good food and company for me, it was also full of Doreen Virtue and Angels.

I had heard a few weeks ago while I was out at my first Diva Date Night about this book on Guardian Angels and how Angels can help with healing, life’s purpose, and connecting with yourself.  I quickly wrote the authors name down in my phone and went on my way.

Not thinking anything about it for weeks after, I went to my last Life Coach appointment and this author came up again in our convo.  I thought that these books sounded pretty interesting to me and decided to go over the weekend to pick some up.

When I got to the book store I had no idea where to look or what I was looking for except I knew the author’s name.  I ended up walking right into a full section of books that Doreen Virtue has written and sat there for a while going through all of them.  If it isn’t Eclipse or a book from the Twilight Saga, I will read a few pages and see how the book resonates with me before purchasing it.

I read over a lot of her books and decided to pick up Angels 101 An Introduction to Connecting, Working and Healing with the Angels!  LOL!  I figured I needed breakdown of these angels and who is following me around on a daily to really understand what I am getting myself into.

You know, I have not been able to put this book down!  I find it so interesting what I am finding out in this little book and I can relate to a lot of things and instances in Angels 101.  This book really does go over the basics for you to learn how to connect with them and work with them on a daily basis.

For instance, when I loose something I know I can always ask for guidance to find it and I do.  I always getting ringing in my ear and this is a way that angels download important messages to you and I have been able to listen and feel my body to know when I am in tune with myself.

Right now I am in the part of the book where they explain how you can work with your angels to heal, find your purpose, use them for safety, and all that jazz

While reading yesterday I feasted on my fave Apple Ever – B.C. Organic SUNRISE apple.  LOVE THEM!  Along with some organic blueberries

Ok, so I love summer and dislike it when the summer transforms into the fall, but I do have to say the one good thing about fall is the apples here in beautiful British Columbia!

Do you believe in Angels?  Do you believe that they surround you everyday?  What is your Favorite Apple?

To Your Glam Life,

How To Wish Upon A Star

Posted on 08. Jul, 2010 by kris.

Happy Thursday Everyone!

What a sizzling week it has been here so far!  Holy mother of pearl it was a whopping 33 degrees yesterday (for my American friends that is like 92 ish).

You know when it is so hot most people don’t want to eat?  Yea, I am completely opposite.  I am always hungry when it is really hot out.  Who am I kidding?!  I am hungry always any weather, anytime and any day!

But I was good….no cookies or baked goods.  I did have a raw granola bar through, but I figured it was better because it wasn’t cooked.

Dinner was something that I threw together in 10 minutes and it turned out to be one of the best meals we have tasted out of our kitchen in the last few days.

Stir-Fry Veggies in Coconut Oil on Quinoa

2 cups quinoa
4 cups water
1 zucchini
2 heads of broccoli
1 medium onion
3 carrots
3 cups sugar peas
1-2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp seasoning blend of choice (I used different pepper corns)
1 bunch fresh basil
a drizzle of wheat-free soy sauce over the plated dishes

Directions:

Cook the quinoa as the instructions show

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.  Heat the coconut oil and add chopped veggies and spices.

Saute for about 10 minutes.

Plate the quinoa and the veggies on top.  Then drizzle a tad of soy sauce over it

Super Yum!

After dinner we decided we would go on a little summer night adventure. One of the reasons was just to get out of the stinking house because it was so flipping stuffy!  We have an A/C unit, but because it only gets really hot here for a total of maybe a month out of the year, we only have one that will do one room at a time.

We packed the dog, some water and some strawberries and hit the road.  I love driving when it is still hot out at night and I love having the sunroof open and the windows down!

Our final destination was a park called Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver.  We had never been here before, but it was absolutely beautiful!  There is something calming to me being right on the beach when the moon is bright.

The park was quiet, so we unloaded our packing’s and hiked down to this little cove that perfectly held this pocked of warmth and sweet ocean smell.  Ahhhhh I was in heaven!

Sorry No Pics to go along as it was too dark.  So you will have to listen to me ramble about it

I was relaxed, allowing myself to be free and centred and was in the middle of wishing upon my star (we will get back to that) when this light in the ocean, like UNDER the ocean started moving around.

I think my heart stopped.  I whispered to Ryan that something is in the water.  We backed up and tried to see what was coming at us…..a sub?  I was freaking out.  Of course I am so engulfed in Vampires and Werewolves right now, my mind was playing some pretty nasty tricks on me!

This guy emerged from the water in a full black wet suit.  He was scuba diving alone at night!  Freaky!

After he left, I tried to get myself back into my wishing, but no luck.  I was freaked out of what was lurking in the bushes round me.

Normally when we go to the beach at night I will lay on the bench or a log and find my star and wish until my little heart is content. I have done this since I was a kid.  I used to stand in my bedroom window wishing to the first star I saw and would press my eyes really tightly together like I was thinking really hard that this wish was going to come true.

I seem to stay very true to my “wishing” routines.  I wish on my stars, I hold my breath through tunnels while I wish and Ryan and I always play the game where we try to throw things in the garbage and if we make it in something good with happen to us  Call me superstitious or call me connected.  Either one I am fine with

Bottom line is when I wish on my star I feel GREAT when doing it.  Those few seconds of me wishing is a way for me to KNOW that it is on its way.

How do you Wish Upon a Star?

1. At dusk go or look outside.  Find that one star that really stands out and appeals to you!  Bring that little kid that is in there somewhere out for a bit

2. Stare at this star like you love it.  This star is your genie and look kindly and warm at it.  I know this sounds silly, but trust me it works  Now in your head (or out loud) say “Star light, Star bright, the first Star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight.”

3. Now make your wish!  Close your eyes and feel that wish circulate from your heart up to your head.  I envision this wish in a form of a white light that rolls through me.

4. Open your eyes and look at your star.  I always say “Thank You” as a nice gesture

Of course all of us are different in what we believe in, and how we get our messages, wishes or prayers out there, but the important thing is to believe that you have this power within you to ask for what  you are feeling.

I would love to hear feedback on this topic!  Do you Wish On Stars?  Do you believe Wishes come true?  Have you ever had a wish of yours come true??

To Your Glam Life,

xxoo
