Manifesting GREAT THINGS

It’s 6 weeks into 2012 and there have been so many great things happen already.  I’ve been living a serene, peaceful, virtually stress free life in Puerto Vallarta; friends coming and going, working peacefully with the warm breeze blowing gently off the ocean, smiling faces of children on the beach, and Charlie bouncing around in his own little way, full of happiness.

I have a feeling this is what life is meant to be like.

My peaceful Puerto Vallarta life was interrupted when I was thrown into a stress filled week in Panama. In order to get myself through the week, I had to resort to calling it…”data collecting” and not “dream planning”, as I was there to work on building my dream home. But despite all the bumps and frustrations along the way, when I set foot on the beach in front of “the lot,” I felt the peace again for the first time that week. Not sure what lies ahead, I will continue to collect the data and see what comes…

Back in my condo on the bay in Puerto Vallarta and for the first time in several weeks I find myself awake early.  I feel the soft touch on my heart of a special friend.  I miss him. I know he is present.

Is it possible that we always truly “know what we know”  and yet in our knowing, we choose to indulge in the “comfortable” to avoid the perceived discomfort of going forward? Yet eventually, with the ebbs and flows of life, we must swing open our arms and embrace the “knowing” and understanding that life will give us every goodness we desire.

Is it possible for us to truly say, “Here I am, living passionately in my life, open to all abundance,” and push aside the face of fear (it shows up in illness, bills, heartache)? Can we do this with our eye on our vision and dream, with open arms, feeling the breeze flowing, bringing our desires into our arms and our lives? Yes it is possible. So we better get started today.

It’s like starting over. How great is it that each new day gives me and you a chance to live it all over again? Live your dream. It’s our chance to “Start Over”.

Keep it GOLDEN!

Freedom is our most valuable possession…

so take your freedom and ENJOY IT! 

Live Your Life like it’s GOLDEN….because it is!!!

Every Day is a Golden Blessing. 

Never Stop Dreaming.

Never Stop Celebrating.

The Rainbow I’ve Been Praying For…

After a cloudy rainy day the sun breaks through.
Kinda like life.  After the breakdown comes the breakthrough.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes we have to work through some tough stuff, before we can celebrate our courage and clarity.  If life seems to be a little stormy right now, put on those rain boots, grab your umbrella and face the storm.  But remember that soon it shall pass.

Get ready for the next sunset!

Setting intentions for the day

Arrived back in Panama yesterday.  I had some meetings lined up for today so I woke up an hour before the alarm just in case my body would be tempted to then sleep through it.

Despite rushing to be on time, I spent the morning waiting to meet my lawyer for advice on building my “dream home”.  Hmmm 7:30 …7:45…8:00…8:30…

I waited until 1pm for my 8am appointment?  They did not realize what day it was.  They are great people, so I am trying to remain grateful.

I remind myself the intension of my day is to gather data.

Missing Mexico, I honour those feels and continue on with my intentions for today and gather more information and data.

The importance of setting an intention of the day, means less emotion.
Just living in the intention of the day.
I am grateful to have learned the power of setting intentions.

Patience is invaluable…

Though sometimes we want to hurry things along…

And listening to your heart is key…

A glowing heart illuminates the shadows

When I was flying yesterday, I was thinking of all of the amazing people in my life…my friends, my kids, Charlies little smile, right down to the amazing flight attendant!

I was reminded that we are here to live our purpose with passion!!!!  For with that passion comes a glowing from the heart and life begins to illuminate the shadows.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to feel love and share love with so many special people!

Sometimes we need to stop and feel grateful.  Stop and let our light shine.

Thinking about zoning in on the last 10lbs?

So you are thinking about zoning in on the last 10lbs?
Every year on my birthday, I always think about my body, and how grateful I am for my wellness, and how its time to take it to a new level.

This is a great read…and I agree 100% with Leanne Delap…

Beauty spot: Cleanse program will get you glowing from the inside out

On the Isagenix plan, cleansers start their day off with a shake and have access to accelerator pills and pieces of chocolate.

Published On Fri Feb 03 2012 – LUCAS OLENIUK/TORONTO STAR

By Leanne Delap Living Columnist

Sitting beside a glamorous creature at a gala recently, I found myself wasting no time in gushing about her skin. It glowed beyond anything that could reasonably be prompted by a jar.

Toronto social queen bee Bhargavi Varma said one word to me: Isagenix. “It is what you put inside that counts,” she whispered.

Turns out Varma, whose career has spanned both promotion in film and PR in the corporate food industry, and her business partner Shruti Owerie, a Rotman’s MBA grad, are the Detox Divas; they do cleanse-coaching for the young and urban fashionables in the city, talking them out of tiramisu temptation by phone and email. The pair is among a group of independent distributors who sell Isagenix products, which is also sold online.

Varma and Owerie have been friends for decades and did their first Isagenix cleanse together. Immediately hooked, they started recommending the U.S.-based program to friends. The two natural networkers found an untapped niche: offering support to others to help them get through the month of mixing of and portioning.

The duo never refer to the program as a diet, but I estimate the cleanse devotees I have spoken to at fashiony cocktail parties have lost between 7 and 9 pounds per cleanse. Yes, Isagenix is that prevalent right now.

Marc Garand, the managing director at Macroblu, a boutique media company, says: “There is a critical mass. Everyone is walking around with the shakes. I see it on the street, on the subway.”

Garand himself credits an extended Isagenix program of six months with the loss of about 49 pounds last year.

The 30-day system is simple. It combines a mix of shake days (each serving contains 240 nutrients and 240 calories; shakes are available in chocolate or vanilla flavours) and a pattern of cleanse days. On shake days, you eat one regular meal. You don’t cleanse for more than two days in a row. There are a whack of accelerator pills and some snacks, including up to six pieces of special chocolate. (Tell me that didn’t suck me in.) And like any cleanse, you are cutting out all alcohol and caffeine, refined sugars, breads and the like.

The line is hypoallergenic and gluten free. A vegan option is coming. Both Varma and Owerie are vegetarians. “We find the shake every day really keeps our B complex up,” says Owerie, glowing herself at seven months pregnant.

She says there are about 50,000 Canadians who have tried or are in a maintenance regime with Isagenix. The program is growing the most in Ontario and California, Owerie says.

When I was on the program, I loved getting emails from the Divas summarizing what I was supposed to ingest each day and how to handle the coffee-free headaches. Boy, did I feel guilty telling Owerie I had blown my cleanse day with an unexpected shower in champagne. She rapped my knuckles and goaded me back on the horse.

Still, about four days into the program, I felt absolutely terrific. There is a dramatic difference in how my jeans fit. My skin is not Diva-level glowing, but I definitely will invest the time and money into the program again — next time without the champagne.

What’s Your Dream?

As I sit here enjoying the morning warm sun, Charlie curled up beside me in the chair.  It’s become quite a ritual.  Loving life from morning to night.  I think about an email that I just sent out to a team of amazing people creating their dreams.

I Believe that we all have a dream.

Deep down inside, when you are truly living from the heart, you begin to feel your dream.
It is pulsating, like a heart beat, trying to get a solid beat, trying to flow.
When you sit and let life flow, your dream starts to create a life of their own.
NO, not anyone else’s.  JUST YOURS.

My dream 10 years ago, was…
To enjoy my winters on a warm beach,
To work and create greatness in the sunshine,
To create a residual income which allowed me this winter on the beach,
To then work with people, inspiring them to live their dreams,
To live everyday with Passion,
To go out and Love Life Out Loud.

As I complete my book in the sunshine, I am full of gratitude.
A dream come true…

I hope you join me at our next “Practical Magic – Sisterhood at it’s Finest” Retreat Coming Soon.

Create and start living your dream…you’ve got the power!

Be Still and Listen.

It seems like it’s been a while since I sat down and was still.

Ironically I came to Mexico; this quiet place, overlooking the bay of the ocean. Serene and beautiful, waking up to sunshine every morning, long beach walks and moonlight shadows over the ocean at night.

Finally after 14 days in Mexico, I sit still.

I have been working through 30×3 Starting Over Program with a group of amazing women.

Lives are changing, books are being finished, businesses booming, romantic partnerships deepening or changing, hurting hearts are beginning to heal.  It is so beautiful.  The amazing strength that is breaking through the pain.  Women all over North America changing their lives.

So I sit here this morning watching the peaceful beauty of nature.  I am reminded of the “physical Body.”

I become aware again of the gift that we have been given; this temporary home for our spirits to live.  It is so apparent that you and I need to give our bodies much love and attention.  Give it adequate rest, a healthy diet of great food and nutrients, and peaceful surroundings. The more you care for your body, the more it will serve your spirit.

 

Shhhh. Listen to your body….

It will give you messages, gut feelings, flutters.

You will be protected and guided.

When you pay attention to your body, you will be able to connect to your goals and intentions.

 

 

 

 

I take my body for a walk on the cool sand, and I LISTEN…

Be inspired to face the new miracles coming today!

Cleanse toxins from your body, toxic relations, toxic chemicals, toxic thoughts.  Use a powerful cleanse.  I recommend Isagenix Cleanse Systems by an organic orientated formulator, John Anderson.

Choose Love

Falling in Love…Are you in LOVE with YOU?

The best way to immunize yourself against fear and sadness is LOVE!!!

LOVE IS A POWERFUL FORCE!

You have 2 choices…Fear or Love.

Every single action, thought, emotion roots itself in Fear OR Love. This was true yesterday, is true for right now, tomorrow and every day to come.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See what Fear creates…

Critisize your body = Low self esteem

Addictions = Low self esteem

Depression = Low self esteem

Sexual promiscuity = Low self esteem

 It is all fear that will hold you down.

List your fears. Then across from the fears list the LOVE.

FEAR -  LOVE

Tension (what makes your tense) – Relaxation (what makes you relaxed)

Anxiety - Gratitude

Insecurity - Confidence

Entitlement - Grace

You may be living in fear?  But what are you doing now to change it?

Call Love forth. Be conscious every day in every decision…when you choose your words, when you choose your actions, when you choose your thoughts, ask yourself if they stem from LOVE? Because if they stem from fear, they will never bring love and light.

CHOOSE LOVE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are experiencing fear of any kind, write about it. Write until you cannot write anymore.

Then DO NOTHING.

BREATHE.

FOCUS ON LOVE.

I AM OPEN TO GREATNESS.

Journal about the changes you start to see when you start consciously choosing to live in love every day.
