Rise Up Retreats

So if I have had a loooong day at the office on the computer I am often tempted to order Starbucks from Uber Eats, which is super expensive and not great for me. Gives me a temporary sugar high and then I crash....and am worse of then when I started. So today I got half way Through ordering and thought… No, I have amazing healthy things here that I can make. So instead of a tea and brownie from Starbucks I’m having delicious superfood mushrooms with cacao! Seriously, mushrooms, I don’t eat them any other way! So good!! And it gives me sustainable energy and nourished my body!! Love them so much! Oh yah and 1/4 of the price of Starbucks!!!!!

Chocolate Pudding for Breakfast.... umm.... yes! So basically it is high in magnesium, healthy fats and is good for energy and libido... do you need to know much more?!! LOL

So Much goodness!!

Here is the simple and fast recipe for Chocolate Maca Chia Pudding!

Ingredients
3/4 cup any milk, unsweetened( I used light coconut milk)
2 tsp maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 tbsp plus 2 teaspoons chia seeds
1 tbsp cacao powder
1 tsp of Maca Powder

Place all ingredients into a Mason jar or any container with a tight lid liquids first. If you put in the dry ingredients first they will stick.

Whisk well or stir vigorously with a fork until cacao powder is well combined with the rest of ingredients.

Let sit for 5-10 minutes and stir again

Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

When ready to eat, stir well again.

If you need it sweeter, just add some more maple syrup, if you like it thicker, just add some more Chia 🙂 less thick, less Chia!

Tip with fruit, nuts or coconut 🙂

Makes 2 servings

Can stay refrigerated for 4-5 days 🙂

Isn’t nature amazing?

Mindfulness in action!

For 10 years I have been going to my in-laws and never noticed the maple tree in the neighbouring yard.

I am trying to bring the spirit of Mexico home with me this time and truly infuse it into my own life. That feeling that I have when I am there. That feeling of love, peace, joy and freedom.

I think too often we are sold this idea that you can only feel like you feel on vacation, when you are actually on vacation. But I call bullsh**!

Its all about choice.

On vacation I choose to greet the sun as it rises, eat delicious and nutritious food, spend my days exploring the world around me and meditating with nature..... wait a second.... I can literally choose to do that anywhere that I am!

Today I invite you to explore the things that make a vacation special to you and see how you can bring that into your day to day, it is simple, but certainly not easy!

Here is my dinner Wednesday night that James and I cooked together, it was so delicious I even added extra spinach to it! Watch for hashtag as I explore different ways I can infuse that feeling into my everyday!

Not exactly a smoothie, but hey, I will take it.

2 things about this.....

1. I save all my love notes I get from students, one of my love languages is words of affirmation! (More about this at the couples retreat)

2. These notes always pop back into my life at the right time! Found this one in my suitcase from a lovely women who attended our March retreat!

I am so grateful for every single person who decides to take the plunge and come on retreat with me. Whether it be to a 1 hour yoga class, a one day adventure into the self or an 8 day excursion across the world. Thank you for taking this time for you, and spending it with me 🙂

I love you, thank you for being in my life, I am so grateful. Thank
