Creating the life you want in 2012

 2010 was a weird year for my husband and I - relationships in all areas of our lives were tested (Personal Friendships to Business relationships) - it was a painful experience but all the profoundly, life changing experiences always are...

So Last New Years Eve me and my hubby chose to take this experience and use it to spot light all the areas in our lives. Our lives are constantly talking to us - telling us what is working  and what doesn't work for us - its up to us (each individual) to listen to our lives and do something about it.

We did - we listened  and you know what??? 2011 was one of the MOST fulfilling years for the both of us - Spiritually and Professionally - we created an amazing year for ourselves. 

If you're ready to do something about your life here's my suggestion - instead of making a lengthy list of resolutions this year why not try doing what me and my husband did last year - its simple and it was a powerful experience that created amazing results for the both of us.

1) Look Back on the previous year (2011) and identify the THEME for the year. 

When I look back on 2011 I'd have to say our theme was LETTING GO. We have both shed some life long baggage - and it's been incredibly life altering.  Letting go of what is false allows the space for that which is authentic in you to grow and then that AUTHENTICITY grows around you.  Letting go of that which is no longer necessary allows the things that are necessary to come into your life.


2) Learn and Build from your theme - this will set an Intention for 2012

So our theme in 2011 was "Letting Go". Letting go creates a new, clear space to allow other things, experiences etc. to come into our lives - SO - in 2012 we should focus on  what we need and want to LET INTO our lives and ALLOW it to flow into our space

Or for other examples:

Lets say after you've looked back on 2011 you find your theme was  "fighting" -  "arguing" - "climbing to the top" these take A LOT of energy  - and you've been doing it all year - you've no doubt exhausted yourself. Some ideas for your 2012 Intention may be "RESTING" - "HEALING" - "RESTORATION" anything that will help you re-fuel.

Hope this helps you to create the life you REALLY want.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to send them to me.

I wish you a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR - here's to 2012 - let's make it INCREDIBLE!

xo,

Peaks and Valleys

You've all heard the old adage, "Life is about Peaks and Valleys." Its origin is unclear but we've all heard it. It's an emotional pick me up. A motivator to keep going. I know I’ve said some derivation of it to a friend when they've needed comfort AND admittedly at times the person I’m telling it to is myself. There are different variations like: “Life ebbs and flows” “What goes up must come down” "Highs and lows"  "To and fro" "Good and bad times"  Because I'm a visual person I like the image that is created with “Peaks” and “Valleys” P eAKS are by definition the highest point. I like thinking of the summit of a mountain. Its symbolic of the times when I'm feeling positive and on top of the world. When everything I do is working. These are the "wins" in our liv es, the "high" times BUT we can not surviv e at this altitude for v ery long because a

Forgiveness

Some of you may not know this but my father was murdered, he was killed when I was still a child. I think this is one of the reasons why I find myself drawn to real life CSI shows on TV and most news stories involving homicide and our legal system. Recently, I came across one story that is a truly inspiring example of forgiveness. The story revovles around the Whitaker family. The family consists of parents Patricia and Kent and their two son's, Kevin and Thomas. In Sugarville, Texas on December 10, 2003 the family was celebrating Thomas' college graduation from Sam Houston State University. Kent and Patricia had given their son a Rolex as a graduation present and the whole family went out to dinner. After dinner the family came home and upon entering the home they were each shot by a gunman who had been laying in wait for the family. Kevin Whitaker was pronounced dead at the scene, and Patricia and Kent were airlifted to a nearby hospital. Patricia subsequently died

Gunshots and Confusion. What could have happened but didn't.

Have you ever imagined what you would do if you came face to face with a gunman? Well, I have and the scenario in my mind usually ended with me ducking for cover. The real-life version however was completely different. What should have been an uneventful stroll down the street turned into a chaotic, sad, and yet life affirming event. Last Friday was to be the beginning of a celebration-filled weekend for me and I couldn't wait to get the party started. Friday night was going to be a fun, small, surprise party that I had arranged for my sister-friend and Saturday my husband and I were going to celebrate our wedding anniversary.  The clock on my dashboard read 3:05, I wasn't finished shopping for these two very special people and at this moment time was not on my side. INTUITION. THANK GOD I LISTENED. I live in Studio City and absolutely love shopping at the stores in my neighborhood but not the traffic. I have a tried and true way of navigating around it, by parking
