What is it that sustains you from the inside out?

Joie de vivre.  The Joy of Life. 

What is it that sustains you from the inside out?  What self care ritual, what self love extravaganza can you invite that nourishes you?  Self care is the only way to stay connected to Source and  we must create the container to allow receiving in order to create transformation for others.

Joie de vivre is a French phrase that means, literally, the joy of living.  It’s defined as a keen delight in being alive or a carefree enjoyment of living.

It’s this delight in life and what you are creating that unveils an inner glow,  a radiance that cannot be manufactured.  It’s really is your own upsurge of joy. 

When we were children it was so easy to feel happy for each new adventure and able to rest that our needs were taken care of. Somehow we lose that as we grow older, but it is this very thing that we seek.  

In working with women from all over the country it has become so clear that it is the inner glow that attracts success.   It doesn't really matter what marketing trick or strategy you use. If you have not turned on your own inner light  people simply do not see the value of working with you.

People pay you for your energy and connection because it reminds them that it is possible for them to feel the same way.  Your inner glow magnetizes people because they see it in your and want that light for themselves.

Turning on that inner light starts with being rather than doing.  It naturally follows then that nourishing yourself and maintaining a sense of inner wellness and peace may well be the most important part of becoming a conscious feminine leader and creating the impact you really want to.

This inner radiance is the by-product of exquisite self-care coupled with mindful body- centered practices and intentional gratitude.   Please don’t confuse self-care with being selfish.  Everything and everyone around you depends  you your energy and ability to be the positive force for good.

The Joy of Life

I started this blog because I wanted a place to write about the things that really make me happy,  that create such an upsurge of energy that I can't help but feel good.

It seems life is so hectic that we seldom remember to simply be in the moment and feel happy.

I was walking down the street a few days ago looking for a particular store.  I looked on the marquee that showed the location of all of the stores in the outside mall I was at.

It was a beautiful day, Colorado at its finest.  And yet I was obsessed with thinking – and thinking about things that had no relation at all to being at the mall shopping.

Work, my website, an upcoming presentation.

My kids, a baby shower and what food needed to be made.

My grands and the new baby on the way.


My parents and their upcoming birthdays.

Then I saw the map.  YOU ARE HERE ↓

I had a huge aha!  moment -  and I stopped in my  tracks.

I realized in that moment that I was NOT here – only in body.  My mind was so busy jumping around that not only was in rooted in the past, I was jumping to the future with no real idea of what the future was even about.

YOU ARE HERE – when I read those words I took a deep breath and stopped – and took in the beauty of the day, the awesome weather, the fact that I was there – healthy, free, awake, and grateful.  I became the moment, and all of time stood still.

YOU ARE HERE instantly changed my biology from closed to open as I realized that I could let go of thinking about things that I have no control over – and instead focus on what is right in front of me.  My point of power and intention is always in the right now.

I can live in the past, try to predict the future, or I can stay here and experience the NOW.

Could you stop what you’re doing – just for a minute, take a breath and say to yourself – YOU ARE HERE.

Have a great day -
