ARTArticleW.O.A. - Woman Of Action!I picked up my favorite “Haute Couture” Magazine! The headlines read news from the fashion world and buzz from New York, Los Angeles, Milan, and Paris fashion weeks. I am always inspired by the runway and the fashion show that I went to in Los Angeles last weekend was no exception. Now, before you guess. It wasn’t the fall collection that moved me, though it’s well worth adding to my wardrobe this season. It’s was how the president of the company rocked the runway. What did she do? What was she wearing?ARTArticleWaitingSometimes we amaze ourselves by the amount of inner strength that we draw from. Our inner strength guides us with patience and understanding among other things. While we tend to downplay or simply avoid where our strength comes from, we know it’s there.ARTArticleWaitingSometimes we amaze ourselves by the amount of inner strength that we draw from.

Many of you have family obligations and you may have sacrificed your life to help your parents or other family members. You may still belong to the religion of your childhood, working in a job that you grew up seeing others working in and you may feel trapped. You can still be there for your family while walking the path designed for you. All of you including your family each have a path of life that is uniquely yours. And if you are not walking that path you will feel trapped, miserable and unhappy.ARTArticleWay to Win CustomersHaving experienced much frustration with unretu
ed calls from vendors I wonder how these people stay in business. Whatever happened to common customer service? In this economy how can they afford to ignore customer calls?
I came across a blog from speaker colleague Bruce Turkel a branding expert. He writes:
Eighty percent of success is showing up.
It’s the ability and willingness to get the work done that matters. People don’t buy what you do, they buy who you are.ARTArticleWeight Loss Secrets- Where does a person obtain inspiration from?Weight loss secrets are certainly not just about determining the best fitness approach but additionally about how to find the drive to stick to your selected approach.
Many of my clients come to me worrying they are not driven to lose excess weight, requesting me if I can provide to them a powerful determination mantra? Then, I've others that spend money on fitness professionals( that i believe is a great strategy if it's for the proper reasons) to get encouraged.ARTArticleWell Dressed Inside/OutOne of my biggest pet peeves in life is how many women have let themselves go. You see, when you let yourself go it has a way of affecting other areas of your life. If you don’t believe me think about the last time you had a bad hair day. Did you walk around blah, blah, blah? Did you show up at work 100%? What about your home? I bet you didn’t even make the bed that day.
What does your home have to do with how you dress?ARTArticleWhat Behavior Are You Modeling For Your Children? You May Be SurprisedThe hardest job you'll ever do is be a parent. Naturally, you want to be the best parent you can be. To 'get it right' we unconsciously model how we were parented.
Children learn through modeling. They mimic how a parents acts much more than by what a parent says. What example are you showing your children?
Its great if both parents grew up in healthy supportive environments with love and autonomy. Expressing our individual selves in positive ways with meaning and purpose, plants the seeds and waters the garden for our children to grow healthy, strong, resilient and loving.ARTArticleWhat Does "LOL" Really Mean?The other day I was sitting in Starbucks watching people come in and out, ordering their specialty drinks, and I sat near some elderly women who had obviously been life long friends. They were finishing each others’ sentences and reminiscing over times past; birthdays, holidays, vacations – it was pleasant listening to their conversations. The conversations transitioned a little bit and became a little more intimate because they began to speak of their relationship with their husbands – how they met, etc.ARTArticleWhat does Success mean to you?How do YOU define Success?
Everyone wants to be successful but the image and the meaning of success is very different for different people. It is crucial though that before you start seeking success your clearly discover your definition of success. Remember, it must be your definition. Don't fall into the trap of pursuing someone else’s "Success". You and you alone should decide what's the meaning of success to YOU. And the good news is that once you commit yourself to being “successful” (whatever it means to you), your life will never look and feel the same.ARTArticleWhat Is Overwhelm and How to Deal With It - 6 Essential StrategiesWhat is Overwhelm and How to Deal With It

Sound is a powerful tool, because it is vibrational in nature, and we are vibrational beings. Indeed the most modern science shows us that all life is vibrational in nature. This is in line with age old mystical thought of most cultures, which often alludes to the vibrational nature of Creation. The Hindus have a saying, "Nada Brahma", which means, all is sound, or all of creation is sound.ARTArticleWhat is Your Inner Approach Towards True Wealth and Abundance?Attaining true wealth and abundance is not something that you have to do exte
ally in order to be over-flowing with money. It is what you do on the inside that dictates whether or not you will have true wealth and abundance. Most importantly, it begins with your internal approach towards yourself. If you are always stressing, worrying and struggling to get money, then you are not aligning with your higher self in order to attain true wealth and abundance.ARTArticleWhat you Need to Know from OprahShe’s gone. The legendary Queen of daytime TV talk shows said her last farewell in a surprisingly quiet fashion. No guests, no celebrities, no cars for audience members, no gadget giveaways.
But yet, it was an extraordinary performance by an extraordinary woman.
Oprah Winfrey spoke for an hour about lessons she learned from having interviewed over 30,000 people in 25 years. She highlighted the people and stories that touched her the most and was moved to tears several times as she gave heartfelt thanks to her viewers.
Here’s the takeaway for you:ARTArticleWhen Ability, Intelligence, Effort, Creativity, Perseverance & Luck Aren’t EnoughWhen Ability, Intelligence, Effort, Creativity, Perseverance & Luck Aren’t Enough

“Man may have been made in God’s image, but he has been trying to return the favor ever since.” ~Unknown humorous lay philosopher.ARTArticleWhen Just a To-Do List Isn’t EnoughI’ve written previously about the benefits of keeping a to-do list. The process of writing down everything you have to do (either on paper or electronically), prioritizing the list, and scheduling when to do each task can be an efficient and powerful way to get things done. That is, of course, if you honor your commitments and do things when you’ve scheduled them.ARTArticleWhen Life Tangles Up, Just Tango OnI’ll admit it: I know how to tango. I started years ago. I never performed, or competed. I didn’t do it to pick up on women. I just did it for fun. The dance itself is unpredictable considering there is no set pattern, and I have to keep switching partners since I didn’t have a permanent partner. That’s what makes tango so interesting: the unpredictability.ARTArticleWhen Your Partner Is the One Knocking Down Your Dreams!Have you ever come across an individual who knocks you down, tear you down over everything that you are about? S/he will criticize you, condemn you and basically let you know or feel that you are an idiot for even thinking what you are thinking or doing what you are doing. Then several months/years later you realize that they are now doing the same thing that they were criticizing you for. Then they turn around start telling you that you should be doing what they are doing. Sometimes there are no words to describe these individuals.ARTArticleWhere Did THAT Come From?As you continue your journey along the path of self discovery, your reactions to certain events may cause you to wonder where that came from. You react in ways that seem totally out of context with the situation. This may cause you to pause and wonder why this simple situation is having such an impact on you.
Not to worry. You’ve just run into an old, buried program that is showing up because a situation you’re in is causing it to trigger. You know you’ve never been in this situation before, yet your reactions are so strong it’s puzzling.ARTArticleWhere In Your Life Is Fear Blocking You?Before I go into this article I would like to make something very clear: NO ONE ALLOWS FEAR TO BLOCK THEIR LIFE! Now some of you maybe balking at that statement, but think about it, if you knew you had fear or if you are feeling fearful, would you really consciously or subconsciously and knowingly allow fear to block your life? No you wouldn't. You would want to do everything in your power to get rid of your fears. Fear is a feeling that comes up in response to all the things we were told as a child.ARTArticleWhere Is Your Invisible Wall?Yeah you have been working on having a better life but it seems like you
are getting nowhere. Why could that be?
Part of it is plain old biology. The way your brain it set up you avoid
the problem. This is what we have come to call the denial circuit. You
want to do something like ask for a raise or ask for a date or walk over rna high bridge or just point out that the food you ordered is wrong. The
closer you get to doing it the more emotions come up and finally you
decide to avoid the problem.
Boom you get a rush of relief from not having to deal with the problemARTArticleWhich Would Prefer? Advice on Goal Setting or Goal Getting?It intrigues me – there is so much written on goal setting – and so little written on the much more important subject of goal getting. A client, Mike, recently told me that he’d been told, by his first mentor in business, that success comes from constantly setting goals. However, Mike soon came to the conclusion that, if you’re constantly setting goals, you end up living in a state of perpetual dissatisfaction – because you’re always looking forward to your goal, rather than living life to the full in the here and now.ARTArticleWho Are You Allergic To?If you’ve ever dealt with allergies, you know how brutal they can be. An allergy, or intolerance, is defined as: hypersensitivity reaction to a particular allergen; symptoms can vary greatly in intensity.
I swear, that perfectly describes my last relationship!!! So then I started thinking. When I eat milk- all bad. When I take penicillin- all bad. When I deal with him, it’s ALL BAD! Maybe I’m allergic to HIM!!! Is this possible?ARTArticleWho You Really AreThere is a well-worm saying that suggests that perception is, in fact, reality. And, no matter how most thinking people might laugh off such a notion, the fact is that for the normal mind, reality is just that - the sum total of our perceptions. How we perceive the world, how it works and our place in it dictates how we behave. Most importantly of all, our own self-perception creates our reality - or, at least, our version of it.ARTArticleWhy Affirmations Don't WorkAffirmations aren't all created equal. Some are naturally better than others. However, most people do not use affirmations correctly. 95% of those that use affirmations fail to produce significant results. It’s really sad because they wonder why they’re not getting the results they want. If you have ever rolled your eyes or said oh please…about affirmations. Please understand you need to take action to make affirmations work for you. Say them every day and all the time.
Could affirmations be the missing ingredient to your success?ARTArticleWhy Do Bad Things Happen To Us?There's no good reaso
I can come up with why bad things happen to us. To be be truthful, I don't really know, but maybe this little story will help you understand that however bad the thing is, you can make life go on, you have to.
It happened to a friend of mine, Paul Biggs by name. He was doing great in his job. He had a great future ahead of him, so great that he was offered to be the director of his company, an online company that was flourishing beyond expectations.rARTArticleWhy do I care about what others think?- Do you constantly need the praise of others to feel good?
- Would you feel crushed if someone criticised you about the way you look?
- Are you sick of constantly conforming to what others expect - only to ignore what you truly want?
- Do you spend hours thinking and stressing over what others think about you?
The need for approvalARTArticleWhy Now is So ImportantSurely we hit what might be described as the ‘peak performance zone’ when we are striving to achieve our goals. Goals, by their very nature, are things that we don't have at present – they are things that we are aiming for in the future. So why do so many personal development experts or ‘gurus’ place so much emphasis on the here and now? For example, the title of Ekhart Tolle’s book ‘The Power of Now’ says it all. What is the point of looking to the present moment if, at present, you find yourself in a place in your life that you want to get out of?ARTArticleWhy Would You CareApril is National Child Abuse Prevention Month
Why would you care, when I don’t? Why would you go that extra mile, when I wouldn’t? Why would you waste your time on me, when I wouldn’t for you? Why do you try to get inside me, when I wouldn’t? What you are trying so hard to see, I’m trying so hard to cover! Why don’t you just let me be?
You ask me a question and you know I’m smart. I see that look on your face, you know there’s hope. Are you going to spend every second of your day teaching me and keeping me safe? You don’t understand life changes by the stroke of the hand.
