Making Love in the Kitchen

How do I get a good night’s sleep?
One of Meghan’s followers asked me that question because she is now 50 and having trouble sleeping through the night. Well I wish I had the answer or something magical to give you but I suffer from the same problem. During pre and full on menopause it was much worse and I once read that we go back to the days of waking up with infants.
Here are some things that I have discovered that seem to help.

I offer loads of info about loads of foods- some everyday foods like squash and raspberries and some weirder foods like cocoa butter and aloe. I’m an equal opportunity food researcher.

Today- the food falls into the weird category- and is also fitting after all the excitement yesterday over the registration rush on our Fab Uplift Detox Program.

There is something powerful, magical and inherently healing about the ocean. There is no place I would rather be than with my toes in the ocean. There is also something incredibly powerful about the ocean. Our planet depends on the health of our water for survival.

You have been asking me for ages when my book was coming out. And kept saying, when the time is right.

The time my fair lady and gent lovers is now and I have you to thank for it. So THANK YOU!

The contract has been signed and I am soon to be a published author!

As you have come to know me, you know that I don’t play by the rules. I don’t follow diets, my recommendations don’t fall into any dietary group like vegan or veg or macro. The only rule really is to keep it light and fun.

It was this approach that you supported from the beginning- over three years ago when I began my biz and my blog. It was this approach that saw you loving to bits my first ebooks and cooking classes. And it was this approach that landed me the sweetest of dedicated, enlightened, open, intelligent and inspiring readers in the whole wide world. Every day, your comments on this blog, on Facebook and on Twitter keep me inspired to keep on breaking rules in an attempt to help all who wish, to achieve abundant health in their own lives.

It’s all fine and well for me to dance in my kitchen, create recipes, write about them and host cooking classes and retreats. But without you showing up for it all, none of this could be happening.

It has been one tough cuddle up of days lately. More on that will surely come towards the end of the week so stay tuned. With events I hadn’t expected throwing me for a wee bit of a loopdee loop, my appetite went straight out the window.

Remember when I told you about how Chocolate is like love? Well, sometimes when there just doesn’t seem to be much out there for you, chocolate seems to be a great replacement. Of course, I wasn’t about to go diving in to a Hershey’s bar. No, no, no. I had to think up a chocolate solution that was going to make me feel better in my heart and in my body. This chocolate had to be super powered. It had to be loaded with great fats to offer a soothing back rub to my nervous system. It had to be a little salty to warm my adrenals, and it needed to be sweet to embrace my achy heart.
