Have you ever had one of those weeks when stressful events seem to rain down like a fall storm? That was the case for me this week. I attended a 4 day trade show by the Canadian Health Food Association. I had tough talks with Government about protecting our rights to access natural health products. I had a 2 day book signing for The Adrenal Stress Connection, were I signed over 300 books. Quite a start to the week!

On Wednesday I was on The Marilyn Denis show where I shared how you can afford to buy Organic food on a budget. The episode did not go as planned, as I did the price checks by phone with The Big Carrot and a food stylist on set did the shopping. When it came time to tape the live national show, Marilyn asked me about the Canadian Organic Label and when I checked the bread bag, I realized that the bread was made with organic flour but it was not Certified Organic! Talk about STRESS!

I was so flustered that I blanked on sharing the www.organicweek.ca website, which you can find information on in my earlier blogs. You would think that after that I would kick back for a day of rest. But no, the following day I drove to Alliston, Ontario to give a talk to Doctors and Nurses who needed "proof" that supplements help balance hormones and reduce stress. My best bud and researcher Daniela Rambaldini stayed up into the wee hours exploring studies about stress reducing herbs. The irony is that what we needed the most to reduce our stress - was to SLEEP! How did I survive this week without getting sick or losing my cool? In a few words, "I changed my way of being". I fundamentally choose to eat differently, drink differently, carry myself differently and most important - ACT differently. And guess what? I am excited to share this "recipe" with you!

Next Saturday, October 29th, I'm having a cooking workshop, The Recipe for Stress Reduction, where you can learn how to handle what ever life throws your way! Join us because it will be fun! It will empower you. And most of all it will connect you back to The Real YOU! Go here to register today!
