Dear Savvy Woman,

My mom use to take me skiing a lot.  For skiing, I was allowed to cut a day of high school to beat crowds, which made it all the more fun.

I use to hear this comment from her on our ski trips,  ”If you’re not falling down, it means you’re not really trying”. 

Think about the FEAR that comes up (if you allow yourself to recognize it) as you think about going for something BIG.  Or maybe doing something completely NEW to you.  FEAR can bubble up, sometimes very easily.  This is what can stop us dead in our tracks, if we let it. We’re afraid to fall down.

The older we get, the more fearful we can become as we get more and more conditioned to own perceptions & the perceptions of others and the world.  I  mean, there’s SO much to be afraid of, right?  Just listen to random passing conversation (as I am right now in a coffee shop as I write) – or what you hear from a friend or someone who loves you – or what you read on news sites or see on TV. What we find ourselves saying to others. 

This plays out often when it comes to attracting love,  too, my savvy friend.  We’re often sitting back in ‘fear’ or concern:

Am I going to meet him?

Is this guy the right partner for me?

Why doesn’t it seem to be going the way I dream of it going?

Often, we don’t try a new approach – or create a different and winning Mindset to support our desires – because we’ve got this subconscious fear, of either success or of failure.

A clue that you’re on to something – that you’re giving the mountain and slopes the best of you – is when you feel the Fear coming up, and you continue to take a step forward anyway. And then another. And another. 

It’s not a matter of having NO FEAR, or preserving yourself out of FEAR, it’s a matter of feeling the Fear, and moving forward toward your desires anyway.

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~
