Dear Savvy Woman,

I had to boot up my laptop to write about a conversation I just had an hour ago with a savvy woman (who will remain anonymous, but I’d love to let the cat out of the bag with her permission so I can tell you about her amazing talent & business!).

We were catching up about life, which included her meeting a great guy a few months back, whom she’s enjoying a lot.  He’s a great guy with his act together, a fun sunny disposition and great sense of humor. And he’s very cute (picture proven). Great catch, right? Wait, it gets better. Guess what?  He is SO into her, that he very directly asked her to call him rather than opt for the more distant, less-intimate text. 

Why was she texting primarily as communication, you might wonder?  Well, ‘Jane’ was experienced with her most recent Ex prefering to communicate with her via Text, among other guys.  And this Ex did a good job of keeping her at arms length in some other ways, too.  Thankfully, Jane moved on and attracted this very available man who lets her know in many ways “I’m into you!”, including asking her to chill on texts because he wants to hear the purr of her voice instead. (Ok, I’m ebellishing on her story here but it’s the truth).  Understandably, Jane had felt a bit protective post her last relationship, and didn’t want to ‘cramp’ this new guys style.  Why? Well…he could be like all the rest. She had learned that more than one guy out there preferred to keep things at more of a distance. So, why risk a different approach?

What I *love* about this story almost as much as the fact that this wonderful woman attracted a great guy to her who is honest, upfront and demonstrative is that she was aware of her conditioned patterns based on past history.  This is a rather ‘light’  example that was pretty easy for her to call herself out on.  Often we have deep-seated beliefs and conditioned behavior that we’re not as aware of, keeping us stuck (attracting/involved with the same kind of men, experiencing the same quality of job, self-sabatoging behavior, spending patterns, etc).

Sometimes we are fortunate, like Jane, to have an event or person help us to see where we are in behavior and mind-set that isn’t current, true to us, congruent with what we want to attract and experience, and who we want to BE….NOW.   Think about what is possible to create in your life if you take a conscious look at this ‘closet’ if you will, and do a run through of the worn and out-dated?  

Speaking of clearing,  I’m offering a special Boot Camp event on Saturday, March 21st.  This Boot Camp will be exclusively about Relationship - clearing and creating.  If you are single post a break-up, divorce or simply aware that you need a fresh perspective and a clear vision, you will not want to miss this inspiring and life-changing day with me.  So, how do you really know if you would benefit from this?

- You can’t seem to let go of the past: an ex…relationship regrets…he’s a jerk….time you’ve lost.  You might be aware that it’s getting in your way, and you might not.  If you let this rent any space in your mind and being, believe me, it is in your way.

-You don’t believe a wonderfully reciprocal, abundant, delicous relationship and partnership may be  possible for you.  Or you vascilate.  Belief, if it’s there, is shaky.

-You’re recently out of a signifcant relationship or marriage, and you’re ready to move on, but you have not completely forgiven your ex and/or yourself.  You worry about finding yourself in the same thing.. again.

- You’re exhausted with it all. Men. Love.  You’re not sure if you’ll ever meet the right guy for you.  And if you’re meeting men/dating, their is a LOT of finger pointing… to them.

I really hope that if you are relating to these, you will decide *right now* to save the date and spend the day with me (more details will follow soon).   You can’t do the same things and expect different results, and, although it’s tempting to rush into a different relationship, if you don’t clear your mind & heart you just may find yourself facing similar issues – learning the same lesson.

In this day you will actually do the ‘stuff’ that you may know would benefit from, but you just can’t find the time, inspiration, or environment to do it.

What you’ll leave with:  completion of oceanside releasing ceremony, discovering tools and exercises for creating a vision for yourself and your next relationship that pulls your forward (not back into the past) ,  and techniques for a Mind-set that will see you to success in love and life. And lots of inspiration. It will be  a packed day – but, quality over quantity.

Decide to gift yourself this day, and you will not regret it.  It will be the gift that keeps on giving.

From my savvy heart to yours ~

Dear Savvy Woman,

I’m writing after a short sabbatical due to a divine week spent on the Big Island.  Sweet and simple time spent with my husband & relatives brought me much rest and relaxation, all in a backdrop of beautiful feminine energy that the Hawaiian Islands hold.  I am so grateful for the experience, and I’m learning to receive these without any apology (something I’m still working on, but getting much better with ;-))!

Here’s a shot of the gorgeous and magical coastline that we viewed our first day:

I especially loved hearing the word ‘Mahalo’ spoken this past week.  I’ve been to the islands before, but for some reason this word stood out to me much more on this visit. I looked up the definition and understood why:

[Ma = In] + [hâ = breath] + [alo = presence, front, face]
“(May you be) in (Divine) Breath.”

Mahalo is a sacred word, and it ‘acknowledges the Divinity that dwells within and without’.

I work with women individually and in groups to do just this. To remember their divine essence, and to let go of all that holds them back from living their heart’s desires. One way this has been channeled this past year  in my  work with Be Love Savvy is helping women attract a partner … a soul mate.  When women remember their divine essence, their Mahalo, all the blocks and self-sabatoging behavior falls away. 

I want to remind you, Savvy Woman, that if you are someone desiring that special someone to come into your life, taking the Mahalo approach is the way to go.  It’s counter-intuitive, I know.  I can’t tell you how many women come to me soley wanting to know ‘strategy’ that looks a lot like The Rules book.  I’m a huge advocate of strategy, however mine is more of the strategy of soul.  It’s the one that won’t steer you wrong. 

Soaking up blissful simplicity in the divine Big Island and wrapping myself up in one big Mahalo brought me back to center, and reminded me of the importance of my work. Assisting women to arrive back to their (ever expanding within) center and live their heart’s desires is such rewarding work for me – i still pinch myself that I’m blogging, speaking and coaching women around this topic.   And I love leading by example.

Mahalo!

From my savvy heart to yours~

My Office

Dear Savvy Woman,

Here’s a picture that I recently took of my office.  Isn’t it pretty, clean and simple ? ;-)  I like things that way!  Notice the big candles in my fireplace. These are to remind me to slow down, and to bring softness and spirit to my workspace. 

The big gold box on the left of the mantle is my Magical Creation Box. I’m going to tell you more about how to make yours in an upcoming post…stay tuned.  The women at my Love & Success Boot Camp last week *loved* making theirs!

The big gold frame (gold, a fav of mine, is a very creative hue, by the way! Not to mention it’s gorgeous & luxurious…) on the right that you see holds a Letter of Gratitude that I wrote to the Universe (see my Dec ’08 blog posts for instructions here: www.BeLoveSavvy.com/blog, and  write yours for this year!).    I can’t help but stop and read it regularly because of it’s massive presence in my space.

This space is part of my physical environment – my office where I spend a considerable amount of time.  But I write not just about physical environment, I also want to highlight that our emotional and spiritual environments are tremendous in shaping our experience.   How are yours working for you?

I  repeat this often to clients and to myself: You are the average of the 5 people that you surround yourself with. Who do you hang out with the most, either in person or in cyber space?   Be sure to make conscious choices.   We spent a lot of time on this at the recent Boot Camp event and it is both daunting and exhilarating, because we can’t change what we don’t acknowledge.  As creatures of habit, we can get use to environments that don’t serve us and our destiny of Well-Being.   Daunting, it can be, because the reminder is there that we are always at choice.

What will you choose?

Be sure to create environments that hold you in your values and support your highest good and desires.  Start small, grabbing the low-hanging ‘fruit’ to pick off.  In your physical environment, sometimes we just need a clearing out of the build-up = papers, magazines, unused items.  In our emotional and spiritual, we might need to taper down contact with a draining relative,  or let go of friendships (with love) that don’t feel supportive or have mutuality.  And sometimes we find we are in a relationship with a man (a large part of our environment) that isn’t the right partner.  

Here is to continuing to create our environments with love.

From my savvy heart to yours ~
