Welcome to my Peace, Love, & Botox blog. Over the last several years, my life has been on a strong spirtual voyage.  I am amazed at the doors that open and the teachers that present when you need them or a lesson.  My spirtual teachers have come in many forms.  My largest spiritual teacher was my beloved golden retriever, Leia.   After being diagnosed with nasal cancer at 5 years old, her 5 year cancer journey opened so many wonderful doors and ignited this journey for me.   It taught me that life is a miracle and love is an amazing thing.  Being blessed with 3 boys, I have learned so much about “living in the moment.”  Talk about true live-in zen masters.  The famous authors have been a god-send.  Being someone who did not read the majority of my life, I am such a “book nerd” now.   I am so grateful for the knowledge these wise spirits have shared and continue to grace me with.   As life lessons emerge, I continue to look for nuggets to help ease my suffering through personal encounters, media, and reading.  I hope to share the nuggets I come across in an effort to bring more joy to your life!

As I have learned to expiernce more joy, I have changed along the way.  I find I am happier with who I am and feel less of a need to numb unwanted feelings by eating, shopping, drinking wine, etc.  I also feel less focused on my exteral flaws and have learned to embrace them. Working in the cosmetic industrty, this can be difficult.  I must keep exercising that “acceptance muscle.”  Like Buddha says, peace comes from within, do not seek without.”  I feel the same is true for beauty.   It comes from within.  As you come to visit my blog or me in the office, I will help you age gracefully but also I hope to help you realize the beautiful person you are.

Namaste,

Loralee
