(90-Day Detox) Day 41: Saturday, Sunshine and a Sleepy Diva
Written by Tera on March 28, 2009 – -What a day!
It started with a run, then a session of hot yoga and a nice morning walk with the kids.
Then some procrastinating and playing about until the afternoon found me sunning myself on a bench in the park while the kids played. It was HOT! It felt like summer was sneaking in already! I loooooved it and feel so grateful for the change of seasons right now. I actually got a bit of color. I wore my new super sexy yoga top and my winter skin got a bit of a pink sun spanking! Kinda nice. Feels good.
Last night’s call with Brian filled me up with some kind of gigantic bliss bubble and I’m STILL smiling from ear to ear! What a beautiful person and how fun to find someone else just right on the same wavelength the whole time. Last night’s call was loaded with reminders for me to live MY bliss.
If you haven’t listened to that call, it’s worth your time. Brian said something about the derivation of the word, “enthusiasm” and it just resonated with me! I looove living with enthusiasm. I love my life! I love how I live it. Even the bumps and burps and scraped knees that sometimes happen, my good heavens life is SWEEEEEET!
I should be finished the detox announcement tonight! That’s going to be very exciting.
Just polished off a tall glass of green juice and the kids are tucked in bed. I think I’ll save the extended dialogues and mega inspirations for during the week. Our next special teleseminar guest is going to be Brian’s neighbor in Bali. Then there’s another boy many of you know very well who will be stepping on stage. Then.. .well, then I don’t know who’s going to pop up and make life interesting, but if you have suggestions, special requests, I’m certainly receptive to your feedback.
Before I plug out to work on the detox announcement, here’s a bit of inspiration that totally touched me today and while it’s being addressed to high school children, the message will hit right smack on the bulls eye of a lot of you who are reading this blog.
I cried. (Such a sap!)
Then, to finish it all off, here’s a song that kinda says where I’m at and makes me wanna escape into more sunny moments like I had today! It was such a beautiful day, but now I’m realizing my eyelids are awfully heavy. I think I’ll be tucking myself in early tonight…
How was your Saturday, love?
*smoooooch*

Tera,
I’m still crying! really the video completly touched my heart. It’s tru!! so true that sometime we just focus in what is missing and we don’t see and use what we DO have! Nick is an inspiration for all of us.Thanks for sharing this video with us, i’m going to share it with my family and friends… a video like this can say more than thousends of words.
Have an amazing evening and don’t forget to turn off the lights at 8:30 pm to help the environment.
Love youuuuuuuu!!
Kisses and letucce hugs!

Sadly I can’t view the song video in my country (Australia).
I’ve actually met Nick Vujicic a couple of times, and he has given me a hug. He may not have arms, but he most certainly can and does hold people in a hug. If you ever have the opportunity of hearing him speak, then GO!!! He’s an amazing young man who is full of passion for God and for life. He has a dvd, too, that is well worth watching. I have the original one, however I believe he’s done a more recent one now.
Live life to the full, and rejoice in what you do have now.
Hugs & blessings,
Gypsy Queen

Hey Gypsy Queen, I didn’t know you were Australian! Where are you? This is Raw Mom Jo, from Melbourne!
I saw Nick on the Australian Sixty Minutes last year, and was so touched by him. What an INSPIRATION. I love that he is speaking to schoolkids and making such a difference in their lives. I’ll keep an eye out for his DVD!
Tera, I can’t wait to download and listen to the Brian call. Hopefully I’ll get to do that before our chat tomorrow! I’ve loved hearing about your perfect day, and how you felt the sun on your skin. We’re having the most beautiful day possible here in Melbourne today, one of those warm, clear autumnal days that we’re often blessed with. I’m going to appreciate that warmth before the chilly wind starts to blow through in a few weeks!
Love you!
Jo

It’s a beautiful day here too, though it’s much colder here! At least spring is trying to push through the winter temperatures! I’ve been trying to give it as much encouragement as I can

Impressive! Wow what a gift for life he has. Nick is so real and with the talent to speak to the masses, just excellent; I was moved to tears as well!
The song video is not available in Colombia either.

I’m completely flabbergasted by Nick’s video. It brought me to tears, too. I want to say more but I just can’t make any of my thoughts come out right…
What a way to remind us that we need to love what we have, and be thankful for every bit of strength and health and ability.

It was one of the divas who first shared with me a video of Nick. Was it you Amanda? It wasn’t that particular video but the one where Nick demonstrates the meaning of getting back up again. It put me into full blown shoulda-bought-stock-in-Kleenex mode. But it sure did good things for my heart. I love opportunities to connect with the best part of my emotions.

Thanks, Tera, for the inspiration! The first time I saw that video of Nick Vujicic, I cried, too. It really is a great reminder of how wonderful life is and what a precious gift it is! Loved it.
Looking forward to the detox announcement!

IT’S NOT JUST TALK…HE DOES THE WALK…
I saw a video of Nick a few years ago where they show him doing his morning ritual (shaving, brushing teeth, getting dressed, etc…)people think he has a team waiting on him hand and foot…but he does it all himself! He reminds me of a famous physically-challenged Quebec singer named Martin Deschamps whom I babysat…who also persevered against all odds…AH COURAGE IT CAN TURN MOUNTAINS INTO MOW HILLS!!!
Here is today’s spiritual smoothie recipe:
1 cup of LOVE (not just for others this includes self-love)
1 cup of ENTHUSIAM
1 cup of COURAGE
1 cup of DETERMINATION
MIX THEM ALL TOGETHER AND SPRINKLE WITH JOY!!!
Here’s a toast to all those surmounting their own personal challenges whatever they may be…
CHEERS!!!

Yep, I cried too. I liked the song and the video. I just listened to a pep talk on getting rid of excuses. That guy sure must have had to go through that process. What a blessing he is. Kathie

I really like the song, in fact, it is on my i-pod.
And I really liked Nick’s inspirational video. He is telling the truth and I really loved how all the kids were focused, hanging on his every word. Puts things in perspective and helps us keep the main things the main things~
Looking forward to your detox announcement.
Love your recipe too, Sonia.
Blessings,
Vanetta
