FIND YOUR GURU...

Ageless Aunty

When the student is ready the teacher will appear. This powerful statement should bring you some peace. When you are ready to bring your life up a notch…and take the high road instead of the easy way out…pay close attention, your teacher is near.

Everything is set up for our benefit. We can trust this and should be able to find our wise guides without too much effort.

At the top of my (living) guru list is my Ageless Aunty. She is an extraordinary woman and the best teacher anyone could ask for. She not only inspired this blog, but everyday she teaches me what is most important in life, and that is helping others. Ever since I can remember, I have watched her give her constant and unchanging love to an entire family. She does not keep score ever, under any circumstance, even when I felt she should. My great Aunt transcends everything, and continues to rise to human greatness with her selfless humility. All this goodness keeps her radiant and ageless.

This remarkable woman is all I hope to be, and the best part of who I am. She is pure spirit. What a gift to live with her and be in her presence daily. Aunty is so happy, that by looking at her, other people become happy. The more I emulate and care for her, the more ageless I become.

If you haven’t found your guru yet, you can follow Ageless Aunty. Just hit the follow button on our blog. There is much we can learn from someone like Aunty. She lives to give. You may even have some laughs along the way…Ageless Aunty is always laughing at something, while teaching you everything.

HO, HO, JOE!

Coffee that Glows..

I have found the ultimate Holiday Coffee! That’s a big deal considering there are thousands to chose from, and even more noteworthy because I have been searching for years.

The name is, HO, HO, JOE! And since I love the holidays, they got me with the first “Ho.” This festive and delectable blend is an impeccable concoction of vanilla, hazelnut and chestnut, with a warm background of cinnamon. Even for those who think they don’t like flavored coffee should give it a try. You will be pleasantly surprised, as a few of my friends have been. If there is a coffee that can make you sparkle, this is it. Look at me after just one cup.

We can drink with confidence too because Harvard Researchers have found that coffee boosts our mood, prevents cavities, can stop a headache, helps with diabetes, and even improves our memory.

Forget the milk and cookies. Leave some Ho, Ho, Joe! for Santa this year so he won’t forget to leave you something too.

Runner up, and an old favorite is
Green Mountain’s Spicy Eggnog Coffee. Another perfect seasonal treat! And a must try (if you like Eggnog, coffee, and are adventurous).

And last, but not least, honorable mention goes to The Snowball and Holiday Grogg coffee both from Soufflé’s in Newburyport Massachusetts. The former, White Chocolate Coconut, and the latter made with a myriad of secret ingredients. A certain Santa’s helper told me one was Rum! Find out for yourself by visiting http://www.souffles.com/

GLOW WITH THE FLOW…

Get Cozy

You know you must be doing something right if a Goddess like Julia Roberts validates your beauty secret. In a recent interview the stunning actress said, “The key to beauty is to always be looking at someone who loves you.” Bingo! That is it for sure. Take a look at the above picture of Aunty and me. I think you can tell we were glowing from the inside, and we always do. I have the utmost optimal relationship with my great Aunty. It’s one where we both simply continue to give with an open heart to the other without ever keeping score. Miraculously, this way of being creates young cells, and gives a shot of Botox to the old. We don’t look 127 do we?

When you strengthen your bonds with loved ones your barometer of agelessness goes up. Married people might want to stop for a moment and remind themselves what drew them to their spouse in the first place. Rekindle your romance in any way you know how. Allow your partner to love you. And you must make yourself loveable in the first place. Be nice. Smile a lot, even if at times it may feel forced. If agelessness is something you seek, loving kindness is a must. Besides, what’s the alternative?

And if you are single, select your partner and friends carefully. If a person is not able to give and receive love, then what is the point? Trying to change people or putting up with a mean spirited person is damaging to the soul. Create room in your life to improve the relationships you now have, and always be ready for love. That in itself makes you Ageless.

Come back soon….tea time is next! I will confess right now…tea continues to be one of the best beauty boosters.
