Secret # 41 How to stay Juicy
Given the current economic and global security crisis- it’s a given that the boudoirs are getting minimal play these days. We have received many unfortunate emails regarding lack of drive, creativity and the insatiable need for sleep. Perhaps we all need to re-prioritze.
Time to substitute your hum drum routines with some daring new escapades………

Visibility
The sky was patient today.
Streams of milky mist lingering lazily.
Fastidious fractions of blue appearing as a quiet reminder.
A gust of unexpected warmth surrendered like an unfinished sonnet.
Shadows sharing the light as they dance on trees.
How patient is your sky?

How to stay young by: George Carlin
HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay ‘them.’ 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. 3.Keep learning. ! Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. ‘An idle mind is the devil’s...
Secret # 40 TRIPLE OXYGEN INSTANT ENERGIZING MASK...
Before I went to Miami last Friday, I secured an appointment to be scrubbed and colored at Bliss. Due to my fair complexion and past solarized burns, it is imperative that I am lathered in 50SPF , wearing a hat that competes with my arm span and a sarong that covers my toes. My friend Kelly informed me about the scrub and color so that I could prance around looking like a golden Goddess for 48...

The Teachings Of Don Juan: Does this Path have a...
Look at every path closely and deliberately. Does this path have heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn’t.
One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.
A path without heart is never...

Jehanne d'Arc
I am sitting beneath Joan of Arc. She is proudly holding her sword toward the heavens, while her Stallion carries her into battle. Anna Vaughn Hyatt sculpted Joan’s image in 1915 and John Van Pelt was the architect. Jehanne d’Arc was born in France on January 6, 1411 and then burned at the stake in Rouen France on May 30, 1431. She was 20 years old. What crusades have I led that are...
Secret #39 Darcy Gilmore
I met Darcy at my friend Silvia’s Birthday party. Silvia invited her closest girlfriends to join her at the UXU Dude ranch in Wyoming. Real cowboys taught us how to shoot, fly fish, plunge into freezing rivers and ride our horses through rivers, up mountain trails and along rocky cliffs. Our tushies sustained six hour rides. Somehow my new friend Darcy managed to look fresh and dewey after...
Secret # 38 SONIC CARE for your FACE
I was hesitant about using a brush to clean my skin.
The box holding the “Clarisonic pro” stayed in my bathroom drawer for a month. My fiance actually used it before me. He loved it. I read the directions and applied some refreshing cleansing gel, put the brush on the lowest setting and began my first sonic cleansing. The brushes have a patented sonic frequency of over 300 movements...
A VERY GOOD REASON TO MEDITATE
William R. Stixrud, Ph.D. “Stress is a major problem. Not only does stress interfere with functions such as attention, memory, organization, and integration, but prolonged stress actually kills brain cells and shrinks the brain’s main memory structures. I have been a big fan of using Transcendental Meditation in schools for many years, due in part to the program’s unparalleled ability to create...

SECRET # 36 Aura Glow
This Winter has been hellacious on our precious skin. Moisturizers have not been effective and my skin has been painfully dry. I remembered that I had a bottle of Aura Glow under my sink. Before hopping out of the shower I lathered my self with the Unscented Aura Glow. It absorbs immediately and there is no greasy residue. It can also be used as a bath oil or massage oil. It comes in many...
