Some not-so-sweet stats:

Risk Factors

- 90% of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease

- While 1 in 31 women dies of breast cancer each year, 1 in 3 dies of heart disease

The Good News!

Tomorrow, Feb 7 is National Wear Red day. Since the first wear red day 10 years ago, 21% fewer women are dying of heart disease, and 21% more are aware that it’s their number 1 health threat. Planning a party with Hope at Home can help make a difference!

Not only does it smell like pure vanilla bean with a hint of bourbon - and, if you ask me, a dash of New Orleans – but it also comes housed beautifully in this frosted, shimmering glass container. As soon as your recipient opens it up, it basically starts singing “Winter Wonderland.”

And for only $24, you get a 60-hour-burn-time, clean-burning apricot/coconut wax blend candle. So it’ll last throughout the entire holiday season!

Monday Gratitude: Light a candle and burn the fear away! Thank you, Matt Marr!

Posted on April 8, 2013 by BeautyFrosting

Host, comedian, actor, counselor and life coach, Matt Marr, is not only a good friend and neighbor to me but he is also one of my biggest daily doses of inspiration.

Matt Marr - a little like St.Francis. With Ebony & Ivory - his pup, Sophie Louise and my pup, Miss Ellie. The pups are BFFs but Miss Ellie can sometimes turn into Rachel McAdams from Mean Girls.

He’s one of those people who inspires you and warms your heart with just a smile and a “Hey, Sugar”. And he’s a champion of mine – and of all who know him – who believes in you and brings out the best in you. I’m so grateful to know him.

So when I was feeling a little nervous last week about some upcoming meetings, I called Matt. Rather than just giving me a few words and sending me on my way, he said he was going to come by on Saturday morning and we would have a little preparatory pow-wow. And boy, did we!

When he shared this bit of meditative wisdom, I knew I had to share it with you guys. We started with a brief meditation and we all know I don’t usually take time – or shut up long enough – to meditate. But it was the lighting of a candle – and Matt’s words – that most helped me.

Light a candle, burn fear away!

Matt said to let all of my insecurities, fear and stress be burned away with the lighting of the candle. “This candle needs fuel to burn and we’re going to let the fuel be all of your insecurities and fears.” Every time I had a negative thought, he’d say “There it goes! Just burned away!”

After Matty left, I felt more confident, calm, self-assured and ready to take on my meetings full of promise!

Today as I did my daily morning gratitude and writing session, I lit my favorite Ruth Anaya candles. And as I did so, I said this prayer:
“With the lighting of this candle, let all of my fears, insecurities and stress be burned away.”

Hope this helps you as much as Matty helped me!

Such a wonderful way to start a busy week!

xoxo,
BF
