It’s 10:30 pm EST as I write this. Only 1 1/2 hours until 2022 is over.
Before it ends, who wants to join me on a journey of physical, mental, and financial wellness?
It’s time to help people with The LORI Factor.
Join me, won’t you?
I know I waited too long. Forgive me for keeping you waiting.
It’s GO time. No more delay.
Message me to get started. Before midnight EST is best.
Just do it! You’ll thank me later.
That makes me thirsty for a cool drink and time to think. Let’s start with the drink.
Mix these 5 ingredients for a refreshing summer Lemonade with a unique twist that’s ready in minutes.
Put on a sun hat, grab your favorite book, journal, pen, and find a sunny spot.
Ingredients
Instructions
3 cups Lemon juice, 3/4 cup Lime juice, 2 cups Agave, 3 drops Lime Essential Oil, 3 drops Lavender Essential Oil, 10 drops Lemon Essential Oil, 16 cups water.
OR use pineapple juice instead of honey, for example.
Your surroundings and sipping this refreshing drink will stimulate your senses. Our senses connect us to awareness that communicate with our brain. Look and listen and be present in the moment.
What does it feel like when you plant your bare feet in the grass? You are literally grounded which creates a calming effect.
The same is true for our sense of taste and smell that evoke feelings and memories. Create new experiences and learn new things.
The benefits of essential oils are powerful for deepening focus and promoting relaxation, for example.
This specific brand of essential oils has added quality to my life. They can for you too.
A super simple way to get a quick lemonade without using the recipe is to squirt Lavender Lemon Vitality drops in a glass of water. Voila.
For more fun and more variety, the best place to start is the Premium Starter Bundle. Now you’ll have lavender, lemon, and many other oils to explore.
It’s been worth it for me. I haven’t looked back. Give it a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
There is so much more I want to teach you, but I’ll refrain for now. Enjoy your Lavender Lemonade. Let me know which option you chose.
When you walk into the Peppered Pig located at 1759 Empire Boulevard in Webster, New York, you’ll feel like you were transported to Paris, France.
The ambiance of this French American Bistro awakens all your senses.
Music whispers in your ears playing French songs that set the mood. It felt like I would be asked to dance at any moment. Since that didn’t happen, I discreetly swayed in silence at the table while enjoying the melodies and perusing the menu.
The décor is pleasing to the eyes with artwork carefully positioned on the walls. Soft-lit candles were placed on each table with silverware wrapped up in cloth napkins. Every seat offered an inviting, relaxing atmosphere.
Greeted with prompt, courteous service with a smile made me feel like family. I had the pleasure of meeting Geoff who made the experience extra special. Yes, I felt pampered.
Pleasant aromas wafted through the air as each dish was delivered to every guest. My hunger was stirring as I awaited my delicious dish.
While you wait for your food to arrive, enjoy wine, a cocktail, a mocktail, or craft beer. There are several varieties.
Get ready for your tastebuds to be tantalized. There is a wide range of choices from salads, soups, sandwiches, quiche, and crêpes just to name a few on the lunch menu. Everything is peppered with just the right seasonings.
Here is a little history from the Institute of Culinary Education. Crêpes are an ultra-thin pancake common in France that can be made sweet or savory, typically rolled or folded with a variety of fillings from jam or Nutella to ham and cheese to seafood. The specialty is served in crêperies, as street food and even in elegant settings as dessert, such as the most famous presentation, crêpes Suzette which is listed on the dessert menu at The Peppered Pig.
The beet salad is a mix of field greens, roasted beets, walnuts, blue cheese with lemon vinaigrette. You can add steak, chicken, or duck.
There is a Crépe with mushroom duxelles, blue cheese, balsamic onions with a petite salad.
Specials are offered, such as Steak Diane made with a 12-ounce Angus strip steak with a mustard Demi glacé cream, mushrooms, and a potato purée.
Wait, there’s more.
Their homemade desserts are to die for. A couple of known favorites are the Crème Brulee and Bread Pudding.
When the weather is warm there is an outside patio for a full Paris feel. Once you have dined at The Peppered Pig you will want to go back for more.

You get what you focus on. You’ve heard that advice, right?
It reminds us that, to begin living the life we really want, we have to start doing those things that will get us there.
There was a time my life was extremely out of balance. All I could see were my struggles and didn’t have any solutions. It kept me stuck. Focusing on the struggles kept me in a state of hopelessness and defeat. I had to stand up inside myself and be determined to find a better way. I knew the life I was living wasn’t meant for me. I took one step and then another and kept going. Sometimes I fell back and then I got back up and didn’t give up on myself, my dreams, and the life I truly desire.
Maybe you’re not where you want to be yet, but at least we are not where we used to be. It’s never too late to live the life you were born to live. The good news is you don’t have to figure it out and do it all on your own.
Now I am a Certified Oola Life Coach. I help clients determine what’s not working for them in the areas of fitness, finance, field (career), family, faith, friends and fun – then correct those stressors and bring about the lifestyle, relationships and financial security they need to be happy, balanced and growing.
So what could the OolaLife look like for you?
I’m challenging you to decide, then focus on getting this life you really want.
Let’s Get Started: Decide What You Want
Have you ever thought about the lifestyle, activities, wealth, longevity, family relationships and other parts of a fantastic life that YOU want?
If you haven’t, that’s the first place to start. Why? Because in order to get what you want, you have to KNOW what you want. If you’re going to focus your time and energy, it’s got to be awesome and a major life improvement for you. For instance, do you want to . . .
Fitness: Be date-night ready with tons of energy?
Finance: Eliminate all debt and have money to spare?
Family: Have a rockin’ good marriage + amazing kids, too?
Field: Find a dream job or start a business you love?
Faith: Start an exciting new faith-based project?
Friends: Find new friends and mentors who believe in you?
Fun: Crush those bucket-list adventures you’ve dreamed of?
Whatever inspires you, why not share it below? (But hey, don’t reveal super-personal details!)
To help you achieve your own OolaLife, I’ve joined forces with Dave and Troy – The OolaGuys – to privately coach you and support you via a TRANSFORMATION Program designed to transform your life, your finances, your relationships and more. Click here to get started. I am glad I took my first step on the journey to transformation. You will be glad you did too. I believe in you and want to see you win.

As I write this, today is my son’s birthday. Joseph David born November 8th. He and his brother were the best gifts I ever received. He is destined for greatness.
I am talking about one of the 7 F’s of Oola–Family.
Family is of high value to me. I am thankful I got to spend time with my son and daughter-in-law today. They add so much meaning to my life. I am blessed.
What’s Oola? It’s a state of awesomeness when your life is balanced and growing in 7 key areas of life (Fitness, Finance, Family, Field, Faith, Friends, and Fun).
Today’s birthday celebration added another “F” of Oola–Fun. It’s important to take time for fun. Fun with family was a double blessing. In fact, it was a beautiful fall day beaming with sunshine and we cooked on the grill. I love the taste of food cooked on charcoal. It was completed with a sweet treat. What a lovely day!
The number 8 is significant. It’s the meaning of new beginnings and renewal. What new things are happening in your life? Or what new beginnings are you hoping to see? What’s important to you?
The flow of number 8 represents the infinity symbol. Let your life flow naturally in the direction you desire. It won’t be a straight line, but a path with some detours. See the detours as adventures that bring you to unexpected places. Those places are just where you are meant to be. Take the risk of doing new things. You never know what you may discover about yourself.
When you look at the 7 key areas of your life that I mentioned above, how are you doing? Which areas are flowing and growing, and which ones are unbalanced and slowing you down? We all have struggles and challenges. Together, we can help each other get in a better place.
Think of each “F” as a spoke on a wheel. Some may be broken or have a hitch right now. Your wheel doesn’t roll smoothly, does it? I have a framework I can guide you through. It starts with where you are now and shows you how to get where you want to be.
It will get you rolling down your desired path.
