A Relaxing Time

Welcome!


Ahh my break away at Easter was pure magic..

The calling of the fresh country air & beaches gave me the much needed rest & relaxation I so desperately needed.

It was a weekend of unexpected total pampering & indulgence...

I have come back feeling & looking like a new woman. Yes really.

My neice decided I needed an 'extreme makeover'.. mm now that sounds a bit worrying doesn't it?

Fortunately in her definition I didn't require plastic surgery! Well not that she told me anyway!

All that was really required apparently was a new hair cut, colour & facials.. phew...

My nephew gave me the haircut with Mum's blunt kitchen scissors.. so yes I have a very stylish new blunt cut look.. they have done a great job too!

Enjoying some time at the beach with that delicious ocean air & sea spray smothering you really does wonders for your soul. Oh & yes I certainly did get my belly laugh that I knew I somehow would have! Oh dear & I'm sorry I don't think it will be appropriate to tell the story here as a certain family member didn't think the incident very funny at all.. but my goodness Mum & I did. Oh & no, no-one got hurt!


This week it is going to be time for me to get stuck into writing my next book. It is going to be absolutely beautiful as I certainly have an incredible team working with me on my projects now. What I can say is, it is going to be a recipe book with recipes of Salads. They can be used as Raw Food Salads & or Salads that you can blanch the vegetable if you are new to raw food.
More on this later...


Because I have been working so hard & sitting so much writing, I have unfortunately gained an undesireable 5kg... yep OUCH! within the last 6 months. So yes I am fessing up to this mere inconvenient scenario & am ready to shed this now.

In all fairness I was finding it difficult to juggle absolutely everything. So I could stay totally focussed on The Wholesome Food Coach, I had to let something fall by the way side temporarily which became my cardio & exercise routine. Don't get me wrong I have been exercising but obviously not doing the right sort or enough. So looking very carefully at my diet I have admitted to myself that I can tweak one or two things there. I am one of those unfortuntate people who when they smell fattening food I somehow gain a kg or 2 in weight without even eating it! grrr...

I shall add a brief weekly update & share with you how I am going. I will also be sharing some recipes I create over the next 5 weeks with you so I hope this can help you or a loved one as well.


I hope you have a wonderful week this week.


With love, warmth and radiance

The Fun Begins

Welcome!

Wow what a juicy week I have had!

It has been so, so much fun.

And to top it off my Divine Website has been launched into the world of Cyber Space. Yeah..

http://www.julie-annbooth.com/

So things are certainly going to get juicer & juicer as time goes on now while I serve you, hear your stories & guide you to transition from where you are now with your health to where you want to be.
Now this is where & when the true magic begins!

I thank those of you who have taken the time & given me feedback on my website. It has really been appreciated especially with all the hard work that was involved in getting it off the ground. Every single bit of time and effort put into it has certainly been worth it.

I especially thank Corey Bell from The Factory Creative who designed it. Corey was able to bring my vision to a reality & so much more. This project has been one of the most inspirational, FUN, creative and rewarding experiences I have had in such a long time! I have learnt so much as well from Corey with regard to building an internet business & taking things to the next level. Apparently "it's all about mixing things up and making it pop!"

These have been sure fire signs that I AM doing the right thing with building The Wholesome Food Coach. In whatever I do it must be fun for everyone involved.

I must admit before Corey was recommended to me I wondered why on earth the universe was giving me so many delays in getting my website up and running. Seriously how hard could it have been? Gee the frustration and angst I was starting to feel was driving me mad. But alas in that time I was able to become clearer within myself of who I am becoming and what I want from this business so as a result I have given myself a stronger foundation for success now. Perhaps I was unconsciously trying to control something that I really didn't really have control of. No matter things are bigger and better than I could have ever envisaged!

So the fun really became apparent with this project!

Speaking of fun. Easter is fast approaching and I have decided to up the ante and add bucket loads more fun to my life! Things have been too serious & I have been working too hard. So I am going away and will be spending time with my neice and nephew where we are guaranteed to have fun. We always manage a good belly laugh and unfortunately it is usually at my expense! They of course reassure me by saying they are laughing with me but I know they are really laughing at me!

Oh so be it... I can't help it if I can naturally make a fool of myself can I?

I wish you and your families a very Happy Easter.

Safe travels if you are going away somewhere.

Until next week.

With love, warmth and radiance
