What are YOUR plans?

The Holiday Season is upon us... what are YOUR plans? 

No, I'm not asking about the Holiday Party's you will be attending  
or how and where you will be spending the Holidays? 
Nor am I asking about your New Years Resolutions?  

New Years Resolutions? Aren't they usually filled with guilt and regret,  I know that's the reason I haven't made a "Resolutions" list in years - good ol' Catholic Guilt...blahch... no, that is so NOT what I'm asking you... I'm asking you about your plans for the coming year. 

What are your plans for 2011? 

Last year I planned for 2010 to be filled with growth - personal growth and  growth in my career. And now as 2010 winds down to a close I can honestly say I got exactly what I planned for.

2010 has been a year of transition, transformation and success. WOO-hoo!!!! 

Here's what happened: 


I was meditating one day and as I began my mantra my voice sounded different. I couldn't recognize the sound of my own voice. It was my voice of course, but it sounded different and was coming from a different place inside of me -

The obvious questions filled my mind - Where is this new sound coming from? Why does it sound so different? Am I going nuts?

And then suddenly the absolutely best question came to me:  Who am I... NOW?

I am finding my true voice - my authentic self and fully embodying the woman I am now - and the best part of it is I "planned" for it... this growth, the success I am enjoying in my career... I planned for it and because it worked for me last year I am excitedly making my plans for 2011... here are just some of them: 
  • To live proudly each day with intention, excitement and wonderment.
  • Having a daily moment by moment fulfillment of my divine potential and openly expressing it in my life; amplifying my own brilliance and strengths. 
  • Traveling to Europe again with my fabulous husband - going back to Greece, France and this time going to Italy.
And so now its your turn... I swear it's fun...
 
Think about this question as you make plans for that Holiday Party or that Holiday trip  and now using that same energy, attention to detail, intention and expectation - let this question fill your mind, body and soul... 

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS for 2011?

Peaks and Valleys

Image
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...

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...

Forgiveness

Image
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 ...
