You Are The One You Have Been Waiting For – Why?

                     In the next few weeks, as I prepare the final details for our Elixir Course I will be sharing with you thoughts, ideas and suggestions about how to move our lives from where we are to where we most desire to be.  The Elixir Course that I will be speaking about is now filling.  Designing this course has given me the opportunity to reflect on the most powerful approaches, systems and processes that have helped me in my life to date.  In the beginning of my sabbatical I realized that I needed to begin by knowing “myself”.  Not the aimless self in the world but the deepest self, the inner voice and the knowing underneath the busy mind.  I decided to start the Elixir with some powerful exercises that will help us to really  understand that when we know who we are and what we are made of we can create deeply meaningful and fulfilling lives.  I designed the course so that we begin with an inner journey, getting the answers to these questions.  By the time we end, eight weeks later, we create in the world from the inside out.

I believe each of us is here to create an impact and to effect change.  I also believe there has never been a time on this planet where there are more openings and opportunities for us to show up and make a contribution.  I suggest that if you are interested in creating a life of contribution and meaning that you answer this question.

• How well do you know yourself? (Are there external voices and influences confusing you?)
• What do you now need to create in your life?
• Are you committed to taking your life to the next level?  If so, what does that look like?  If not, what’s stopping you?

Remember if you are joining me for the full Elixir course, reserve your seat now.  This course will fill as we are limiting the size.

Putting the pieces of life together… Making sense of it all?

Each lesson life offers us can lead us further down the road to richer self-awareness and better living if we choose to listen, integrate the learning and accept the journey as an essential part of reaching our final destination. But do most of us take the time to see the ariel view- the full picture of what is really unfolding? Many say there is no time for that: it is hard enough keeping up with the day to day. Having set up The Essential Feminine ® Company over the past 2 years I recently felt the need to slow down and have a sabbatical – a regrouping. I took time over the past 8 months to journey to Boulder Colorado – at the foothills of the great Rocky Mountains. Nature has always been a great teacher for me and during this break it has been the most amazing gift. It taught me so much. I learned that I need to take time to reflect- daily on what is most important to me and where on each day- I need to place my precious life force and attention.  I learned that I hear more when I am still and I learned that the richness of family and close friends is something I cannot live without.

The biggest lesson of all has been around the daily practices and care that I allow myself- when I am going slow enough to listen I can hear what I really need. For me it is essential to have a daily rhythm and balance or I spin out. I guess you could say that sometimes when we create our dreams we experience a birth and after birth even though we adore our baby – we still need to come home to ourselves. So what does all this mean to you and your life? I think you have to answer this question for yourself .Here are a few questions I had to ask myself to put many of the pieces back together in my own life.

• Where are things working for me now?
• What needs to change or be different?
• How well am I taking care of my self- body mind and spirit?
• Does the work I do satisfy me and align with my values?
• What is next for me?
• What is most important to me right now- is it in my life?

The time I took in nature and contemplation – gave me the reflection time I need to write a course that reflects an amazing journey- the one I have just completed myself- I call it the Elixir Course. If it resonates with you let me know- I would like to take you on this journey with a small group of women.

Do join me on – if the time is right for you- take a look- http://theessentialfeminine.com/womens-elixir-course

Take Care,

Sunday Stillness

As I sit here in peace with the sun shining through the French Pane glass door that leads to my patio I watch the sun light up the antique table cloth on the table before me. I watch the white roses light up with sunlight flowing through them. The blue sky outside reaches in and I feel content. I am learning that my contentment is a choice- fueled by my commitment to be grateful and to live an awake and conscious life. I am realizing that my senses guide me in each moment of life and they allow me to take in and receive all the beauty round me.

I have made the decision to be a vehicle or a reed in the vast waters of life. I am deciding to allow joy to flow through me. I am deciding to listen deeply and then to follow the golden thread. I trust the road ahead with all its twists and turns. For I know something much bigger than me is driving. I am awake making choices as they arise – staying present.

********************

Much of my contemplation these days has been on my own inner journey to Awakened Consciousness.

• Where am I on my path?
• Where can I live my beliefs more deeply?
• What is next?

I am living my dream the very dream that I have set out to create– The Essential Feminine Company and writing the book. I have created daily practices, rhythms and ways to create my dream that I want to share to help you create and live your dream. To live your dream you must be conscious of it and committed to it. There really are specific steps that I have followed and that I have seen the most successful – (success defined from the inside out) women that I have personally worked with and that I see in the world. I am looking forward to gathering a small group of women to join me on this journey of exploration to Awakened Consciousness. It is time to show up.

Stay tuned. I will be sharing more on this and on ways to join me on the small group journey weekly.

Blessings and gratitude to you.

There Came a Time When I Had to Line Up What I Have Been Reading and Put It to Good Use in My Own Life

I now really believe that life is both a process and a journey. It’s funny – I have been listening to great inspiring speakers for many years, reading amazing books and spending much of my life looking at what makes me/us tick and how  I/we can live more conscious satisfied lives.

I know many of us have been doing the same. My own life has been my main test laboratory and I have also been honored to work with many women who have also taught me much in these areas. Yet this past year has presented me with number of tests that have forced me to look deep and hard at how I am living my life and, because of this personal inquiry, I have something that I want to share with you — my personal new learnings that are transforming my life.

I have been writing a lot these days about how we rush around and live our lives without being in touch with who we are, with what we really need and with what we really have to offer in the way of our greatest gifts and talents.

I stopped this month to look closely at how I am living, what is working and what is not working and took time to look closely at three key principles that, now that I am using them in my practice, have been changing the entire quality of my life! I am now convinced that when these three qualities below are all lined up together  in my day, amazing things happen.

These qualities are:

• Gratitude with a very focused intentional approach
• Conscious choices, the vehicle of our daily actions
• Self awareness  of our personal destiny

Recently, I have been looking at specific ways to create greater ease in my own life and I have been working  daily with all three principals and have truly been able to slow down, smell the roses (of summer) and accomplish way more with ease.

I am convinced that life can be lived with far greater ease and that it is our responsibility to create the elixir of attributes and qualities that we need to focus on and live within our lives daily. This is true consciousness!

I invite you to revisit gratitude and her close friends and supports, particularly now because I believe she holds essential potential that may be very important to your success and how you are currently living your life.

I believe that there are a number of key universal principals that need to come alive and off the pages of the books we have been reading in order for the world to become a better place. I also believe that we women need to show up and lead the change that is so needed in our world today!

Oh, by the way, we will be looking at this essential and amazing lineup in detail in our July Essential Feminine Living Room. This is a great place to start to deepen your awareness of how you are choosing to live your life and why the outcomes you are receiving may be as they are.

Join me in this Wednesday, July 18 at 12 pm PST in The Living Room for The Power Of Gratitude: The Golden Key That Transforms Your Life!  Things may never be the same for you after the next Essential Feminine Living Room!

I hope to see you there!

I had to Redefine Success For Myself- Recently…

It took me a while- actually- most of my life to realize I had been living my life with an imposed definition of success.

My parents are humble Irish folk who actually instilled in me -a sense of appreciation for the simple – grounded aspects of life. Growing up in the States I guess I learned a different more high powered definition of success, one that I associated with the “American Dream”.

For many -success is defined by owning an amazing car, a number of houses, having the world at your fingertips and by having a full bank account. In my life, at various times, I have been blessed to experience all of these things and over the course of my life many of these things have come and gone- some more than once. Having had such diverse experiences with material success has given me the opportunity to assess and look closely at what I truly value- what is most important to me. I have come to believe that family friends, precious time in nature, connection to spirit and creating the precious time to listen from within- are core values for me.

I have come to learn that life has phases and stages – often unrelated to our chronological age. These phases and stages provide us with a chance to connect with our higher wisdom and knowledge.  It is so important to take the time to look closely at our lives and to be aware of what guides and drives us. It is important to check in and to determine if we are driven by images and ideas of the past and if we are defining success from external sources and not from our core values.

This week we will coming together to Redefine Success during our new on line course: Redefining Success: Custom Designing An Empowered and Fulfilled Life

I hope you can join us and share the word!

Hope to see you there,

Creating Space

What would you like to make space for?

Maybe you work a job you’re not challenged or motivated by. Maybe you are facing an illness within yourself or a family member. Maybe you need more time for your inner life. Whatever the circumstance, there is a possibility to move toward, and into something you have passion or curiosity for, and are ready for. To create a space for this, you may just notice the other spaces, which feel tight, stagnant or chaotic becoming more spacious and free.

 We went through fire and water, yet you have brought us forth to a spacious place.

-Ps. 66:12

From my own experience, my life is in flux, and it has been for a while. We have moved several times, and still have not settled. And each of the members in my family is striving toward something, which remains to be seen.

Prior to this phase of my life, I lived comfortably and felt outwardly stable. I was a parent and homemaker, who made space within this life for my soul. What in me is holding me hostage? What in me wants to be free? Who am I? Who am I not? What am I capable of achieving?

As I lived within these questions, finding answers along the way, I now notice an inner flexibility, along with a wider scope, which helps me feel more spacious, while this current life of flux continues. Something else, which assists me now, is work. For me this means writing, and preparing myself to teach what I have learned.

I have always wanted to take the time for this, but what I didn’t know then, as I do now- I can’t do everything I want to do when I want to do it. I couldn’t run my home, do deep inner work and also teach and write for others. I just couldn’t.

What I also see now, is there is a natural progression and order to my life, which I’ve resisted. It was in right order that when my life was comfortable and stable on the outside, I went deep to look at what’s not stable, and what is stable, within me.

And now when my external life is not stable, I find the work I’ve always wanted to do arriving front and center to bring stability. It might not be smoothing out the rough and unpredictable edges, but it certainly has the potential to, and if nothing else it gives a focus and an attention that grounds and nourishes me.

Reflect upon where you are right now… How might it be an opportunity to create a space for something new? Something that allows you to expand and explore new territory? That creates stability? That brings release? That grounds, support and nourishes?

Divine Destiny? – What’s Yours?

Divine Destiny

Happiness (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

A Spring Gem Download from The Essential Feminine Company

After  many conversations with women –to get a better sense for what most of us need most today to be fulfilled, to contribute, to shine and  to make a difference in this world ( which women really love to do)……it has become very clear to us that:

•  We all have a very special reason that we are here in this world
•  When we know this reason and incorporate it into our every day—our life comes alive and we contribute at a much higher level and are much happier doing so.
• We  also become more excited about our life because it –all of a sudden has   a deeper meaning
•  We can measure our day and life against something greater than us and OUR needs (narcissism is becoming passé).
• Life becomes VERY interesting.

In the research for the book the ability for women to make a meaningful contribution to the world she lives in showed up consistently as  a high value for women. When we are giving, caring and overlooking the needs of “the whole”- all- we are most happy.

For these reasons we have designed our new tele- course Divine Destiny- Live Your Calling:  Come Alive! We have created a very simple 2 session process to guide you to really know why you are here and how to really start living and contributing NOW. The world really needs you!

Join us in this 2-week telecourse to:

• Gain skills to identify the greatest meaning of your life and start to make it a priority to fully live every day.
• Discover how to claim and live your life with your greatest gifts and talents at the forefront of each day.
• Learn how to co-create and design a business or career that allows you to express these higher gifts.
• Have an opportunity to walk away with a clearer vision and the excitement to fully create this vision now.

 Join us for our next tele course which will be held May 10^th and 17^th. Noon  PST.

Save your seat now while we still have availability.
