Like so many around me, I am on an amazing journey! In the past few months, my feelings have been all over the map – from the lows of despair and confusion, all of the way to complete excitement, inspiration, and clarity!
I feel like I have done my homework. I understand the laws of the Universe. I know that I am creating my life with all that I FEEL in each moment. I know that I have the choice to flow along my journey in this Universe. I often remind myself to stay connected to those good feelings.
On January 11 of this year, (01/11/10), I had a moment of clarity where I felt a KNOWING that I am here to create an incredible life experience. I KNOW that life is supposed to be FUN!! It was time to really start getting creative with my life!
NO MATTER WHAT is going on in my life, I know I can feel inspired, grateful, and excited about the journey. I am AWAKE for it all!
I recently connected with a guy named Charlie Mingroni- who is on a similar journey. Our stories have many parallels. We share amazing experiences around Cancer. Once we were diagnosed, we both chose to believe that it was a gift. We KNEW the circumstances were going to inspire us to grow in some way. We enjoyed our journey through diagnosis, surgery, and treatment. And we KNEW that this was a very special wake up call to really start enjoying this ride through life!
Charlie and I are both inspired to share our positive experiences with cancer – to show others that you can actually CHOOSE to enjoy the journey – regardless of the details of your story. Cancer doesn’t have to be scary. You don’t have to FIGHT it. It is an experience that can accepted and even ENJOYED! We would love people to recognize that a diagnosis can inspire amazing shifts! You can develop a new awareness and appreciation for all that is going on in your life. We both believe we're here to share these messages.
We’re looking to create a new vibe around cancer. We want to create a community of people that are excited to share how cancer has inspired positive changes in their lives. We want people to understand that HOW YOU FEEL in every moment is always YOUR choice! Choose to feel good! We want people to ask questions, and we’re excited to share answers! Connect with us. Spread the word. Since Cancer will most likely be around for a while, we want people to find ways to enjoy the journey. Find clarity in the chaos. We want to create a new vibe around diagnosis as we start to tell a different story!
This is BIG! This is EXCITING! This is what I am inspired to CREATE!
Here's how I found out about Charlie's story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YAQ_Fs7xYI

i am refreshed.
Summer is definitely here and the sun is hot! Cool off with this refreshing and healthy treat that I created this afternoon. I made up a jug of wild raspberry-lemon, iced green tea, sweetened with stevia.
Delicious, nutritious, and definitely refreshing! Add more ice and blend it up for a slushier treat!
- wild raspberry herbal tea (brewed for 5 minutes in one and a half cups of boiling water, let cool)
- freshly squeezed juice from half of a lemon (and slices to decorate)
- 40 drops of green tea concentrate (I get mine from Body Ecology)
- 3 cups of water
- ice cubes
- stevia

swinging in the sun!
Today marks the first day of summer and the longest day of the entire year - the Summer Solstice. It's the day the sun is its most powerful and abundant. And from sunrise to sunset, my Mom is playing her heart out!
It’s the Longest Day of Golf - literally.
Golfers and volunteers all over Canada raise money in support of the Canadian Cancer Society’s programs and services. At the Highlands Golf Course here in Ottawa, 4 men and 4 women venture on a 17 hour golfing marathon! This inspiring group of 8 embark on a full day of completing over 200 holes of golf (each!). And my Mom intends to expand on their record of 234 holes! They do this for the love of the game. And they do it to raise money for cancer - beautiful!
My Mom has already raised close to $1000 this year. She is more than a hero to me - because I just know, only a SUPERhero can golf 13 rounds of 18 holes in one day!
On the day of the year when the masculine energy of the sun is shining at its strongest, I’ll be soaking it all in.. along with the amazing female energy of my very own Mom that will be shining all day long, in the heart of Ottawa!
I’m sponsoring my Mom 10 cents a hole and I’m looking forward to cheering her on and bringing refreshing treats along the way. And for any of you that are as impressed as I am, feel some extra gratitude for what these amazing people are up to! And if you’re interested in sponsoring this incredible group, please let me know! :)
Happy summer time!!

feeling elated!
I have a really good feeling I just found my new career path! At the very least, things are becoming more clear and I'm starting to really 'see' how I can connect and contribute in the community.
I came across an inspiring email (a couple days ago) from a yoga studio I visited with my Passport to Prana. I don’t normally read the Newsletters, but for some reason, I was excited about this one and opened it up.
I went on to read that 2 inspiring women have just joined their incredible services. Core-Elation yoga studio and Movement to Health, health and fitness centre have become one. June 1, 2010, marked the birth of Elation Centre – an integrative lifestyle centre. Perfect! And no wonder I hadn't found it until now...
AMAZING!!
They're about yoga, running, and nutrition. Their approach is holistic. They believe in the power of community for personal growth. And their programs make space for everyone to find their individual fit in life. I love it!
They educate, enrich, and empower lives from the inside, out. They take an integrative approach to health, identifying that it is physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
The merge has been called a collaboration at its finest and a partnership fuelled by passion! What could be more perfect?
And whether my collaboration is with them, or with some other inspiring being, I KNOW it will be exciting!
Thank you Elation ladies for exuding inspiration! I am so grateful to see local women serving my very own community in big ways! Thanks for guiding me along my journey!

I'm ready!
I've been a student with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) for a couple weeks now. And in a few months I’ll have to opportunity to start working with clients as a Holistic Health Coach. wow. I’m fascinated with the material and philosophy - it feels like ‘home’ to me. I am getting ready to serve. In many ways, I AM serving now. I’m ready and eager to inspire people to make changes to their thoughts and perspectives - to discover that it’s all about feeling good, having fun, and to remind people that Life is happening now!
My first client is ME. I have been learning a LOT. And this is a life-long contract. As I learn new ways to feel better, I continue to create and live my dream life. All obstacles, struggles, and fears inspire new ideas, perspectives, and tools that help me to shift my thoughts. I see great value in every single feeling and experience I go through – it has ALL served me and has inspired new desires.
This is a big week for me! It’s the last week of my 20’s (wow) and my first online interview with Body Ecology airs tomorrow, May 19th (double wow). I’m nervous, I’m excited, and I’m ready. I’m ready to share my personal experiences with the world – because I know that it will connect me to other incredible people going through similar stuff.

And here’s a little more info on me and the call: http://bodyecology.com/Teleseminars/JulieRogers05202010.php
I’m taking big leaps. I'm opening new doors. I’m loving myself through the process. Incredible opportunities are coming my way. I’m having fun NOW! Am I really ready? I asked the trusty magic 8 ball.. YES!

Inspired by the game of Life!
Friends and I played the board-game Life last night. We had fun with it and I found it incredibly inspiring! So many different ways to live an exciting life!
Even though I finished with the least amount of money in the end (worth a mere $1.89 million), I loved the game and was completely satisfied with my adventure!
In one night I went to college, became a pro athlete (making $60,000 a year), married the man of my dreams, had a daughter, made it through a tornado, bought a Country Cottage (large yard with garden, frog pond, picket fence, sunny and cozy inside! – perfect!). My family and I went on a ton of adventures – climbed Everest, went on a $55,000 Cruise, and the family horse even won a derby, earning me $150,000.
I was excited with all of the ‘Life’ cards that came my way:
$200,000 – I created a new teaching method (cool!)
$100,000 – Humanitarian Award (an honour!)
$250,000 – I became the President (ooh.. fun.)
$100,000 – I opened a Health Food Chain (exciting!)
$200,000 – I found a new Energy Source (interesting!)
Wow.. such inspiring, relevant cards for me. They all felt good (even the family horse winning the derby… haha). I even earned $10,000 every time someone spun an 8. A sweet deal.
Playing the game of Life is fun.. and feeling inspired by the fun is even better! Now back to playing my own game of Life!

Believe it before you see it.
I often experience the feeling of just wanting to 'get there'. I want to fix myself and my life in so many ways. I'm aware that I'm 'here', but I'd rather be 'there'. I’m often striving to feel better, be better, more worthy. I want MORE.
But what would happen if I changed those thoughts?
What if I deliberately chose to feel that everything in my life is perfect right NOW? What does it look and feel like to believe I HAVE enough? How does it feel to believe I AM enough or I AM worthy?
It’s easy to say 'well, once my finances are stable, once I find the perfect lover, once I find an inspiring career, once I have a healthier relationship with food.. THEN I will feel more peaceful.. THEN my life will be perfect.'
But it doesn’t work that way! You won't get what you want if you feel like it's missing.
As human beings we are always expanding. We’re ALWAYS going to come up with new desires. And the key is to appreciate where you are NOW, while feeling eager for more, and trusting that it WILL come into your experience at the perfect time.
Enjoy the fun that's happening now! Take the time to appreciate the steps you ARE taking, the moments you ARE loving. And when you think forward to what you DO want, feel the excitement as if you already have it now.
