26 things that will happen to you when you decide to leave the big city:

So, you’ve been living in Toronto, (or any big city), for a while; you’ve moved passed the allure, and have decided to make a break. You’re bound to go through a dramatic shift, so here’s a list of what your first taste of city freedom may feel like. Be prepared.

(Within the first 10 minutes of departure..)


1. You’ll suddenly feel like an inadequate specimen of the human species. (What else is there outside of the city?) "I’m Bored.." begins to seep into your mind.


2. FoMo or ‘Fear Of Missing Out’ syndrome will settle in. Why would I leave the city? Nothing happens anywhere else.


3. As the city noise fades into the background, social angst begins… and so does your obvious addiction to social media, as you scroll through the newsfeed searching for something, anything, to reconnect you to city life in that moment.


(20 minutes outside of the city..)



4. You (finally) begin to accept your fate, theres no turning back now.

5. You set your phone down, and being to calm the inner anxiety. For now.

6. A.D.D. hits you. You can't stop thinking about your phone. Breathe. You got this. 

7. You realize ‘being cool’ is all a matter of perception. You can still be an awesome chick.

8. You’ll remember how to communicate without the use of technology- traditional ‘in person’.

9. You’ll be grateful that you’re not using the city transit system. 
10. You’ll start to notice the smell of the air. Without pollution.

11. You see how much open space there is around you.



(Beyond, in space and time)



12. You notice that your ego has grown, and your city snobbery.

13. You’ll recognize the defined lines between fair-weather friends and people who actually care about you.

14. You begin to realize that city life is like living in a bubble.

15. You’ll have more time, and less obligatory social pressures.

16. You will make plans, and follow through; to do things in nature like hiking, camping! (the forest will call you).


17. You remember that buildings without cockroaches actually exist.

18. You regain conscious connection with the Earth, and the food you eat.

19. You remember that there is more to life than working to pay your rent.

20. You’ll save money. (how is everything so much cheaper out here?)

21. You feel comfortable leaving your house in track pants. (not sure that's a good thing actually..)

22. You disconnect with the illusion of city life.

23. You (finally) realize you've been desensitized to over-stimulation.

24. Holy crap did you know there are billions of stars out there?!!

25. You can hear your thoughts.

26. You can breathe again. 


(your transition is complete).

I hope you guys love this one! It's so easy, so delicious, and so so good for you! Who knew you could have all those things in one?

We Have a New Beautiful Vegan Crew Member!! Danielle Champagne:

Nuit Blanche Toronto, Rainbow Laser!
Danielle Champagne & Lyn Rose.
Hi guys! Guess what? We have a new crew member, who is one of my best friends! Danielle Champagne is a fairy creature who brings cheer and introspection to every situation. Here is a quick message of introduction from her:

Hello, beautiful vegans! I am so happy to announce that I am now part of this amazing crew! Together we will bring you delicious recipes, cooking shows (coming soon!) esoteric concepts, and new paradigm thinking… not to mention stellar artwork, fabulous photography and an engaging online experience. This online world is about to take a dimensional leap into transformation and evolution of the soul.
funhouse mirrors Danielle Champagne & Lyn Rose
(James Toth taking the photo).
I'm here because I believe we all have the ability to transform our state of mind and being, and I hope to share, and learn with you about this experience of evolving life. Let's explore different concepts, ranging from quantum physics to spirit journeying, super-foods, to astrology and anything we can find in-between! 

The Queen Photo Shoot, Danielle Champagne &
photographed by Lyn Rose.
We will take a walk through the open-mind, in search for ever expanding possibilities of this (holographic) universe. We'll take an introspective look at ourselves; and learn to observe our external experiences, with intention to create progressive change in our lives, and begin to understand our emotional body with mindful awareness. Its going to be a journey to the self, through the self.

‘The changing of the season, Autumn is here, this is such a beautiful time of year. Watching the leaves as they blow, reflections of red, orange and gold. The visual reminder of the beauty of change, and growing with the flows.’

See you in the airwaves!

10 Things to Stop Doing If You Are Stressed: Video


Hello, beautiful! I am posting this video for myself as much as I for you. I tend to wake up in the morning and sort of panic through my day to achieve my goals, and even though I love what I do, and feel a lot of synchronicity, it definitely increases when I make myself RELAX!

What a concept; relaxing to get more done? YES. When we learn to be calm, and so things we love to do, it makes all the difference in the world. All of the sudden the universe opens up and crazy things fall into place! 

I am a workaholic, and it stems from a place of needing to fulfil my purpose here on Earth and from the fact that I have to pay rent. But my true purpose is to just be. Like Ralph says in the video, we are the only creatures on this planet who have to pay to live. So how do we reconcile these two things? 1. the need to earn a living, and 2. the absolute necessity to evolve into our true purpose? By learning to RELAX! Ralph goes through all ten of the suggestions to dissolve stress, and he is right. I pledge to BREATHE more fully, surround myself with nature, positive people, listen to my guided meditation cd's and see the magic all around me :)
Love you!
