When Life Gives you Lemons (or you buy them) – Make Lemonade

lemons

We love lemons, lemonade, lemoncello on a patio in Italy, mom’s lemon pudding … oh the list goes on!

Today’s recipe comes from a member of our yoUnlimited community, Susan Pearse, founder of The Green Diet and Because We Can.

Lemons are citric acid but in our body, they become a potent alkalinizer for good health. They are also a low glycemic index fruit and a mild, natural diuretic.

If you roll a lemon on the counter, with fairly firm pressure down on it, as you roll it will yield more juice? Try it!

Lemonade

  • 1 cup of juice from fresh organic lemons
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 4 cups water

Boil 1 cup of water with sugar until the sugar dissolves – cool.

Mix sugar water with remaining water and lemon juice and store in a glass juice container.

Pour over ice and enjoy.

* Note, you could substitute agave for the sugar if you like.

What’s the best part for you of being part of yoUnlimited?  Meeting a room full of amazing women!

What qualities do you admire in others:  I value authenticity most of all, as well as kindheartedness, curiosity, love of learning, positive nature, humour…the list goes on!

What’s on your bucket list?  A few things are to go to Macchu Picchu in Peru, teach at a creative retreat somewhere else in the world, walk the Skywalk at the Grand Canyon with my mom, and write a book.

What is your favourite activity?  Oh I really hate picking favourite anythings but let’s say writing. Love it.

If you could only do one thing, what would that be?  Work whenever it suited me, at any hour. I love having a flexible schedule.

What or who inspires or moves you?  I’m inspired by anyone living their dreams and doing what they want to do. People unafraid to take risks, especially creatively.

What is your personal philosophy?  “Things always work out for me.”

Advice you would pass on to yourself at 19?  I would tell myself to stop thinking that I had to be older to be taken seriously doing what I want to do. Now I know that you’re never too young to be a leader.

Who is your favourite community organization for charity?  Oh I’m biased since I also work there! Volunteer Victoria, because we support almost 300 other nonprofit agencies doing amazing things all over Greater Victoria.

What moves you to tears?  Injustice, when other people are hurt or upset, how beautiful life can be, how much I love my daughter.

Where do you find your joy?  Being with my family members, laughing over good wine and food with friends, travelling to different places in the world, continuous learning about exciting things.

What is your most proud moment?  Finishing my master’s degree in 2005. It took me moving across the country, studying at four schools, and five years, but in the end I set life challenges aside and just finished it. I was only the second person in my extended family (of over 100 aunts, uncles and cousins, parents and brother) to do a graduate degree.

SPIRIT: Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You

Feb 272012
 

This fabulous verse was shared to me by my colleague at BC HRMA, Erin Engstrom – thanks for sharing so that I could share it further!

There comes a time when you must stand alone.

You must feel confident enough within yourself to

follow your own dreams.

You must be willing to make sacrifices.

You must be capable of changing and rearranging

 your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.

Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to

 be challenged.

There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.

Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.

Be confident enough that you won’t settle for a compromise just to get by.

Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the

opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true

sense of purpose in this life.

Don’t stand in someone else’s shadow when it’s

your sunlight that should lead the way.

Work hard at what you like to do and try to overcome

all obstacles

Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for

learning from them

Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature

Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know

Don’t be afraid to show your emotions laughing and

crying make you feel better

Love your friends and family with your entire being

they are the most important part of your life

Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day

Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams always remember life is better than it seems.

MIND: Inspiration from the #ewnconf in Victoria

Feb 202012
 

eWomenNetwork Director Kerry Brown asked yoUnlimited’s Carolyne Taylor to create a networking game for the February 17/18 “Be the Best You Can Be in Business” conference held in Victoria.

It ended up being a really great game in which attendees got to explore the exhibit tables and find out what the passion or inspiration of the exhibitors were – plus say what their own passion is.

Some powerful words!

BODY: Green Smoothie

Feb 202012
 

Part of taking care of our bodies is getting enough fruits and vegetables.  This delicious smoothie is one way that the yoUnlimited team likes to start their day (and finish it too).  It’s definitely worth it to get up a little earlier and get this whirling in your blender or juicer.  This is such a great time of year for oranges and grapefruits and use organic produce whenever possible!

Ingredients:

  • 2 grapefruits
  • 3 large kale leaves (stems removed) or a big handful of spinach
  • 3 stalks celery
  • 1/2 english cucumber
  • 2 apples (cored and cut into pieces)
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1 cup water

Juice

Method 1: BEST METHOD:  Cut the peel off the grapefruit and lemon.  Process all, except the water through your juicer.  Our favourite reasonably priced home juicer is the Breville Juice Fountain Plus.   Add the water to the juice.

Method 2: Juice the grapefruit and lemon on a citrus juicer and process the juice and remainder of ingredients (including water) in your blender.

 

Smoothie

In your blender container, put one cup of the juice above (put the rest into a canning jar with a tight fitting lid and put in the fridge to enjoy later in the day).

Add:

  • 2 scoops of your favourite vanilla protein powder (we use Arbonne‘s – it is delicious and vegan too!)
  • 1 cup of frozen pineapple
  • 1 banana
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (or 1 tbsp chia oil)

and blend til mixed and so yummy!   Enjoy!

 

MIND, BODY, SPIRIT – WISH Summit 2012 @terawarner

With International Women’s Day only a couple of weeks away we are getting so excited to start participating in the WISH (Women’s International Health Summit) calls again – and one of our very own Victoria ladies is featured – Alice Bracegirdle from BellyFit International graces the WISH summit ‘stage’ this year.  Alice and Tera met last summer when we hosted a yoUnlimited luncheon.

Check out the list of esteemed speakers for 2012 and be sure to subscribe to not miss a single one.

The reason that we love the work that Tera Warner does with this summit is that it’s not one of those ‘listen in 24 hours or you have to buy it’ summits – Tera comes from such a fabulous place of genourisity and service that she continues to make the .mp3′s available for download long after the original session has been done.

We (heart) Tera Warner and her work and can’t wait to start listening!

WISH is All About Women Coming Together to Support One Another

Somaly Mam Foundation

WISH is all about how we come together to find solutions and support one another, and as you know, we don’t use the WISH interviews as a way to make money. This year, we’ll be using the sale of the WISH Workbook to raise funds and awareness for the Somaly Mam Foundation, which is responsible for freeing young women and girls from the hands of sexual slavery.

There’s more at stake here than light entertainment for 40 days and 40 nights.  >> sign up now – you have NOTHING to lose and everything to gain!
