Stop Sitting on the Sidelines!

Is this something that you have bought into? You have accepted defeat. You agree either consciously or subconsciously with the negative labels that you have put upon yourself or put on you by others. Everyone has setbacks, but that does not label you as a failure. You may find it easier to allow yourself to be pushed back to the sidelines because you have accepted those negative labels.

Why is it that we find it easier to sit in the sidelines vs. stepping up to the plate?…

Psssst.... Want to Hear a Secret??

We hear and see it all over the place: find out about “The Secret”; learn my “secrets” to becoming a millionaire; “secret” steps to having the life you dream of, etc., etc. Why are there so many “secrets”? The fact of the matter is this is a marketing tool. The secret ways to finding the life you dream of is already a part of you. You have the ultimate secret and the ultimate truth within.

The problem is we are our own worst enemy. We self-sabotage our successes and our dreams because…

Regrouping and Recharging

The holidays have passed and a bright New Year is upon us. The time has flown by and here we are, the first month of a new year is almost finished. Recently, I have had feelings of overwhelm to the point where I felt stuck. Kind of like spinning my wheels, but not getting anywhere.

Since being “stuck” because of the overwhelming things I felt I “needed” to accomplish and do, but not getting anything done, feelings of guilt plagued me. I lost incentive to get the tasks done and ended… Continue

And Here We Go! Welcome to 2011!!!

As I write this, I am still confounded on how fast 2010 has arrived and now about to depart – seriously – where did the year go?

2010 personally was a year of change, some lessons learned and a more in-tune knowledge and personal awakening. I am truly grateful to the many friends I made in 2010. I may not have met the wonderful people who are a part of my life today and who will always be a part of my life if I didn’t embark on my journey of stepping out of my comfort… Continue

Zero In and Keep Your Focus

There are times (sometimes many) when we begin to lose our focus on what it is our heart is telling us to do. We set our goals, we make our plans and we begin to take inspired action. Then life events and other people are allowed to redirect us away from our inspirations of what that small quiet voice is telling us to do.

Why is it that we allow other distractions and people redirect us away from our inspired dreams? It is because we are trying to please others. We allow them to put… Continue

Gratitude=Love=Everything

You are loved, you know! AND you ARE love! Have you ever felt the awesome feelings of love – that glowing, bubbly feeling of warmth and true love? If you have, I’m sure you wanted those feelings to last forever. Only sometimes life’s disappointments, fears or other sabotaging elements sweep in to rob you of those incredible feelings.

But do you know that love is truly a part of who you are? It is always there. It is real and it is loving you and loving others from within. But… Continue

You Are Simply Marvelous (and Absolutely Fabulous, of Course)!

Do you know that you are simply marvelous? You are, you know! Of course you are “absolutely fabulous” too! We all may have experienced times when our confidence or self-worth gets shattered. Part of our playing small is because of negative learned beliefs, past experiences, and relationships. We allow those beliefs, past experiences and relationships to take a stronghold deep down into our subconscious brain because we believe them to be true about ourselves. Maybe at times the negative… Continue

The Cat's Meow!

This saying, “the cat’s meow” goes way back. I perceive it to mean something remarkable or “really cool”. I believe we all can live the “the cat’s meow” type of life! So how do we live this exclamation type of remarkable life?

Simply put, just live it! Myself and others, talk about how you think is exactly what you will get. I strongly believe this is true. Your own powerful vibrational thoughts will actually dictate the life you are leading at this very moment.

When you… Continue

Let Your Cork Float!

Did you know each and every one of us is exceptional? Oh yes, you are! We are all worthy of living the life we dream of. Not one of us is exempt from having it all. Do you think all the famous celebrities, rock stars, sports champions, academy award winners, bestselling authors, doctors finding cures, scientists and the like are any different than you? They are not any different – they are the same as you and I! Every one of us has the… Continue

Extraordinary Living

What would happen if you could step into the future or have a magical crystal ball and actually see yourself living above and beyond your wildest dreams? How does it make you feel when you visualize this? Maybe you feel a little apprehensive – fear of changing what is comfortable; or are you having non-believing thoughts like, “it’s for other people, not me” or “it’s just a dream – on my wish list and this fairy tale will never actually… Continue

Perspective: What is the Truth?

This past weekend I took a “kind of” mini vacation and spent some time in the pool – floating! As I was leisurely thinking about the future and projecting positive vibrational thoughts, the float was taking me from end to end along the pool, across one way and then the other and at times in a circle. As I gazed up at the sun, I noticed it would “seem” to move position. Okay, I do know it was my float and the water moving me around as the sun… Continue

A Spirit of a Woman

The spirit of a woman – the precious gift that comes from within her soul is given to those she holds dear with unconditional love, faith, joy, serenity, gratitude and compassion.

This lovely spirit of a woman endures much in her life on this planet – from her first broken heart, to baring children, to mourning the perils of the world – and to so much more in between. Her spirit allows these things to happen in the name of… Continue

A Pink Cadillac

Last week I wrote the post “When the Going Gets Rough” and suggested the main thing to do when the going gets a little rough is to hang in there, keep the faith, and be positive. But what happens if faith begins to falter no matter how hard you try?

The answer is to ask for confirmation in the form of a sign that things WILL get better and you are on the right path. In other words, reaffirm the faith by asking for a… Continue

When the Going Gets Rough

When the going gets rough, can pure determination and changing our vibrational thoughts to a positive outcome really help? We all face some kind of trials in life whether it’s a temporary challenge or something that could be potentially devastating to go through.

It has been said, that what you are feeling on the inside is exactly what is happening in your outer world. Of course, when you are not feeling happy or have anxious feelings about some of the everyday temporary challenges,… Continue

Shifting Your Intention

Invisible energy is always present and moving among us. The energy you put forth and are putting your attention to will always manifest in your life.

We go through our busy days at times mechanically and our only thought is to get as much done as we can so that we can at last get home and fall into bed – only to start it all over again. We move in auto pilot and find it difficult to take the time to enjoy our lives the way we were meant to enjoy them.

Your body is telling… Continue

Knowingness - a State of Being

Last week I wrote a post called, “Absolute Grace” and being in alignment with source and spirit. This week I am writing about “Knowingness” which is about LIVING in grace and a “state of being”. It is an easy presence or quiet confidence you exude when you know things are just as they are meant to be – life is as it is meant to be – YOU are as you are meant to be.

You have learned throughout your experiences and journey in life that, at times, there are rejections of all sorts being… Continue

Absolute Grace

Being in a state of absolute grace, I believe, is being in alignment with source and spirit. It is an expressive emotional awakening of the heart and soul. Mere words cannot describe the total warmth of internal (and eternal) feelings that one feels from the divine blessings of spiritual love. There is an abundance of feelings of gratitude and thankfulness, love and goodwill, kindness and acceptance and peace and joy.

When you realize that you are truly worthy to accept these divine… Continue

Happy Independence

HAPPY Independence!

Summer is in full swing and we just finished celebrating Independence Day. Hopefully you had a “fun-in-the-sun”, happy and safe celebration with your family and friends. As we celebrated our nation’s independence, it made me think about our own individual independence and why we should independently take responsibility to keep ourselves in balance and happy. Keeping ourselves in balance and happy is not a selfish act. As we independently keep ourselves in… Continue

Time to Blossom!

I recently posted on my Facebook page the following quote: “And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” ~ Anais Nin.

This quote truly did resonate with me and where my life is going these days. With a new AbFabWomen project about to be launched, “Cabana Talk With AbFabWomen”, I have found myself truly stepping out of my comfort zone. And guess what? I couldn’t be happier! I am facing all those old… Continue
