Who Has Influenced You to See and Appreciate Beauty?

This week I am posting my second in a series of 52 Videos in 52 Weeks- a challenge led by Video Visibility High Priestess Michelle White Hart. I am giving an unsolicited testimonial to Laura Hollick for her nü Icon Movie  http://nuiconmovie.com/ click here to register for free to see the movie and to participate in the rituals that accompany each episode. The first steps this year include looking at your favorite art masterpieces and following a guided exercise to discover your Iconic Inner Essence. I love how it relates to appreciating beauty in the art that inspires us and beauty we can discover within ourselves.
Here is my response to the Iconic Inner Essence  discovery ritual.

I hope you find this fun and enlightening! When you register at  http://nuiconmovie.com/ you will also be able to join the interactive Facebook page and participate in the rituals.
I appreciate Laura Hollick's work  so much because she awakens people to beauty, she creates beauty, and she inspires  us to see, appreciate and create beauty from within ourselves.

My First Steps to Ageless Beauty Embodiment - Part One

How do you FEEL when you see yourself in the mirror?  I remember one day in my sewing room. I was making a darling little dresses for my dolls so that I could make  photos  for an Impressionist painting photo challenge for a group I belong to. I caught a glance of myself in the mirror. I was horrified!  There I was dressed in an ugly sweatsuit with very messy hair piled on top of my head- looking about 110 years old.

It was a wake-up call as I looked around at my lovely doll collection and then at myself! I decided then and there to begin to care for myself as well as I care for, cherish and dress my beautiful dolls! I realised that not only is it Never Too Late To Have A Happy Childhood but that it is also Never Too Late To Look and Feel Your Most Beautiful Best. My dolls taught me quite a lesson that day. I was appreciating their exquisite beauty - many of them are one of a kind, hand made by talented artists- but I was not appreciating my own unique beauty.
So I took the first step. I would continue to appreciate beauty everyday and expand my appreciation to everything beautiful in my life. My friends and family, my pets, my beautiful landscape, my surroundings, music, food - everything beautiful in my life. I hoped that by appreciating the beauty around me I would be able to rediscover the beauty within me. I would also begin to do one small thing everyday to begin to appreciate my own beauty no matter what my age. To be continued...

A Vacation!

I had a fabulous vacation at the beach in Florida. Quite a change of scene for me from my woodland hills and valley which are becoming cool and autumnal!
I enjoyed the change of pace. Balmy dawns on the balcony dancing and stretching as the sun rose over the ocean.Gorgeous sunsets and starlit nights on the ocean. I had lovely fresh seafood and some delicious authentic Italian food. It was so very easy to Appreciate Beauty Everyday!

Ageless Beauty Embodiment : Beauty is a feeling!

Age is just a number, Beauty is a Feeling!I love inspiring women to be their most beautiful best. I believe in the Ageless Beauty within us that is our truth, our essence, our expression of  divine energy. I see every woman as uniquely beautiful. It's not about age or size (those are just numbers!)- nor is it the same as  fashion or glamor-although many of us have fun with those.
 It lights me up to inspire women over 40 to feel energized and happy in their bodies, to appreciate their unique beauty and to be the radiant most beautiful expression of themselves.
 I am on a mission to reawaken you if you are a woman who feels as if you are growing  "old ", "burnt out ", and beginning to sleepwalk through life. Maybe you feel as if something is missing from your life- maybe you are even feeling numbed out and on auto-pilot. Perhaps you have gained a bit of weight, your skin is losing it's glow, and you don't like who you see in the mirror! It saddens me that so many of us are disappointed by the way we look and feel.
 I would love to guide you to discover how to embody your radiant energy, your unique beauty, and to light up your life! When you discover how to embody your most beautiful self you will feel fabulous, radiant, energized and confident. You will live your truth. You can help to save the world and have fun doing it!
I invite you to contact me

Favorites Languishing in the Closet

http://youtu.be/BK_-1EFK72oMy Friday Fun videos and my Wednesday Work on Message videos are beginning to merge. My Message has to be Fun or I am not going anywhere with it. This video did not come out at all as I intended, but maybe I can learn something from it. I am still floundering about - no clear concise "I can help you with this" message yet. Comments, suggestions, and constructive criticism are welcome!

I love inspiring you to be your most beautiful best! The Ageless Beauty within you is your truth, your essence, and your expression of divine energy. My wish is to encourage you to Embody your Ageless Beauty- a steep learning curve for some of us! I have been there. I see every woman as uniquely beautiful- it's not about age, size,  weight, coloring, etc. It's not the same as glamor or fashion (although some of us have fun with those!) It is your unique expression of who you truly are.
So many of us hide our Ageless beauty, or worse, deny it! I want to inspire you to acknowledge and embody your Ageless Beauty so that you feel radiant,energized and confident. So that you are living your truth. So that you can be the powerful source you are meant to be- to help save the world and have FUN doing it!
Today I ask you to take one small step. Choose just one thing about your body that you can appreciate and see as beautiful. It may be your smile, the color of your eyes or hair, your strong legs, your lovely arms that hug, your capable hands.... Spend this week appreciating whatever you have chosen. Please leave a comment and share what you have discovered that is beautiful about you.

Fairy Tales

Happy Friday! In this video I am coming out of the closet and admitting that I am a Fairy Tale addict. I would LOVE some comments. Any other Fairy Tale fans here? Especially those who read/ watch the more recent re-tellings ? Still working on getting my message clear. My Ideal Client would definitely be open to Fairy Tales about courage, resilience, kindness, overcoming obstacles.....
