August Newsletter

Dear WEBSITE My best writing seems to arise on long haul flights so here I am approximately 30,000 feet over Hawaii with destination Viva Las Vegas! I actually won a trip to Vegas!  How awesome is that?  I have heard of that happening to other people and I can tell you - it rocks!  I invite you to experience it for yourself!           View of "The Strip" from the top of Mandalay Bay     Staying at the Mirage literally meant we hardly left the hotel           A Gala can't stop my shenanigans!       Cousin Erin flying out from Canada was the real highlight!  If I hear onnnnnne morrrrre tiiiiime that "the year is flying past"...  It sure does feel like that to me too though!  A whirlwind of events had me realizing that getting on this plane was a breakthrough in itself.  13 blissful hours of stillness (& movies and snacks and newsletter writing!!)... What I wanted to share with you all before August rolls itself in is...be brave with your dreams and desires and be prepared to release emotions and fears that come along with expanding to that new place!  I have been amazed that all that I have been asking for has arrived...yet not in the package I expected!  Within that, I have learnt that allowing things to come without confining them to my pre-conceived notions is where the magic lie.  More & more I am trusting in the Divine order of things and how in-flow it can all be.  Whereas I used to paddle upstream like a maniac earning my way to success (more like sweating my way to busy-dom!), I have found that the ride downstream is much more exciting & fluid.  There's nothing slow about this ride yet its natural rhythm, when I surrender to, is like "inviting the easy in"! I am speaking metaphorically here but this includes my own body and relationship to exercise (did I mention that I have sustained my ideal weight of 68kg since January when I cleansed & it has been easy to maintain?  This is massive for me as it the first time in my life that it is a downstream feeling vs fighting like the dickens to stay afloat!), my new Customized Guided Meditations helping people as intended, a job offer with a world-wide company (secret squirrels on that one for a couple more weeks), amazing new clients and a nutritional cleansing business that has caused me to step up to the plate and lead an international team.  What a great ride it has been these past months.  Normally, I would leave it there but I wanted to share something I don't normally...how freaked out I become over the the above paragraph!  My new team members have shown me that expressing fear, overwhelm and freak out is part & parcel of playing a big game.  In the past, when my life was getting "bigger", I sought the comforts of my turtle shell and retreated until I felt I could manage things once again.  The only problem with that strategy is: I never get to lead!            I am so busy "managing" (aka controlling) myself that I was missing out on one of my dreams: to be the CEO of my own company & lead a team of people to success!  (Did I really say that out loud??) Since acknowledging my fears more & more, I have noticed that solutions have shown up just at the right time, I am growing & becoming more of myself. I make more mistakes (boy does that get me amped up as the perfectionist within fights for its image!) but I also become more.  My WHY for my business has clarified which has birthed the "1M Project" which is my desire to help transform the lives of 1 million people through the vehicle of body, mind, financial & spiritual cleansing. If that's not 'Go big or Go Home', then I don't know what is!  I've always wanted to make a difference & the vehicle was dropped at my door - in a big brown box!  Literally!  As you all move through the second part of 2013, I encourage you to acknowledge your fears more & watch what shows up.  Step up to your dreams and allow them to come in the shape and size they arrive.  You may mess up more than you used to yet the ride downstream will delight you.          We intended for some splash into our boat, some rocky turns and speed that had us wondering whether a 'boat flip' was our next fate.  Whether we get wet or fall in the river, surrender yourself to the ride and rejoice when a "yelp" escapes your lips!   LiveWell LoveWell MaxWell xoxo
