She even made a great bedhead so she can be at the best angle to read.ħ. She starts by thanking her bed for the sleep (!), stretches, has tea, then goes back to bed to read. She also says the right things come slowly. Simply go about your day, doing your job and watch what happens next. And what she means is, don’t look for outcomes or success. She researched her parents childhoods to forgive them for her violent childhood.ĥ. And you forgive by imagining the “other” as a child and finding out what life was like for them as a kid. How did this happen to me?” She’s learned to trust that life steers things.

“Life handed me AIDS,” she says referring to the fact she rose to fame from her work with AIDs victims in the 80s. Louise believes life brought her what she needed, as she needed it. It’s been reported that while she’s a very wealthy woman, she lives minimally. “Less clothes…I go shopping and I think, I don’t need this!” I instantly wanted to hug her. “We need less stuff,” she said, in a broad way. When she sat down I got rid of the clutter on the table. Like me (via my Integrative Nutrition studies) she’s tried many different eating approaches and has settled on WAP principles.Ģ. So no sugar or gluten, limited grains, plenty of natural fats and a lot of veggies. As a rule, she follows the Westin A Price diet (as do I). This is what she ate: peppermint tea, scrambled eggs, 3 sausages and some prunes. So her tips ‘n tricks for a well life are worth sharing:ġ. She’d just got off an international flight and has been presenting and signing books for days. Slim, tall, a vibrant, natural face and a playful energy. She’s as upright and fit as a 40-year-old.

She healed herself of cancer many years ago and has gone on to live an extraordinary life. Today I read her new book You Can Create An Exceptional Life, which goes into detail about how she runs her life. She knew this and sat with me for an hour, smiling at me as I tried my usual tricks for explaining myself away (words, words, words!).īut in the meantime I thought I’d share some other little insights I gleaned. It caught me off guard and I got very teary because her lesson spoke straight to my struggle right now. I’ll be writing more about the very particular lesson she taught me, soon, for Sunday Life. For anyone unfamiliar with this true gem of a human, she’s the author of You Can Heal Your Life, which has sold more than 50 million copies! And she owns Hay House, which publishes the Big Gurus (Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue etc).
