All We Need Is Love and a Little Dancing !!!

Aloha Lovies~

Last night was so much fun! I am feeling such delight as I recall the sequence of events that transpired while taking yet another Joyful Ride while living in the Woo Woo!

Sasha wasn't going to get off until about 6pm and I let her know that she could text me and I'd pick her up if she wanted to 'play.' I accepted an invitation from an old friend of mine that I bumped into on the island. She was with her new beau and another couple who I'd had the pleasure of meeting earlier today at a dinner party. We all wanted to keep the party going, and Lily suggested a place where they go salsa dancing. Up until now, I hadn't ever tried Salsa dancing and thought, "If you say this is fun, then I'll trust in the moment and I'm in!"

When we arrived I recognized the restaurant next door as being the one that my husband and I ate at when we were here about 16 years ago! I'd been keeping my eyes open for it to see if it was still there. Note to self, when my beloved breaks free from his work commitments, then we can check it out.

I am not one who goes out to the bars, but I do love to dance! My lover doesn't dance, so my partners are usually my sista's! This was no different, and Lily quickly showed me how to do the basic steps for Salsa by counting. It seemed so simple, yet the counting kept me in my head. Oh well, no wrries because I didn't see myself getting out on that dance floor tonight and I would be perfectly happy just to watch for now.

One by one people started showing up dressed up and looking mighty fine in their dance shoes and outfits. The men were looking a lot like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever -the women had mini-skirts, dresses, and shorts on. They looked hot! What a great looking group of men and women.

As Lily and I sat talking she spotted a man whom she'd danced with in the past, a silver haired guy with a white shirt. White dress shirts for the men seemed to be the most popular color, and I would later find out why. Lily told me that if Silver Fox asked me to dance then to follow his lead. I turned to her and said, "Lily, I'm not dancing, I don't know how to do the salsa and I'm enjoying watching all of these hot dancers spin around and shake their booties. Besides they look like professionals!"

I watched Lily dance with several men and she rocked! Her boyfriend, Ed, and I talked a lot about how hot and sweaty it was dancing outside in the open air cocktail lounge of humid Hawaii. The men were dripping, yet they looked so good doing it.

If the law of attraction works like a charm, which I know that it does, then here it comes! Mr. Silver Fox had a black hat on and looked so dashing, and he was really tall. He stooped down next to Lily and picked up her hand. I thought, "Whew! He's going to take her out onto the floor and show me how it's done."

Just then he spoke to her, "Lily, do you mind if I take your friend out for a dance!"

"Oh, no thank you! I'm happy watching everyone." The words were coming out of my mouth, but they weren't landing in his ears, and he wasn't taking no for an answer. I heard the voice in my head say, "You asked for dancing, so get up and keep the dream in motion." I gave my worried little ego mind a massage because she wanted to stay safe and tight in a bud until I learned how to dancer a bit better. I know from experience that the quickest way to learn something new is to just do it! This feels like a real stretch for me! I am a married woman, out with friends for some conversation and fun and now I'm stumbling all over Mr. Silver Fox and I suck at the salsa!

He was very nice and polite he then released me from the next dance. He didn't speak, but he did manage to glide me around like a pro. I quickly return to the safety of my chair, picked up my phone to see if Sasha wanted to join us and she did! I scooped up my keys and trotted off to my Silver Malibu rental car, then drove over to pick her up from her studio which was only a couple of blocks away.

Sasha was in a very happy mood as she made the most in tips, in one shift, so far in her new job. And her feet didn't even hurt her tonight. I informed her of the $5.00 cover charge and she said, "No Problem!" I love being with No Problem Women! Then I asked her if she knew how to do the salsa and she said, "A little." Which I later learned meant, "Hell yes! And I'm quite good at it!"

We stopped off at the bar and Sasha bought her bottle of Corona because it's safer than the specialty beers which knock her on her butt. I like that she doesn't get drunk when we are out. She has one or two beers and that's about it. Nice. No drama with her at all and she's half my age. She stays away from the hard liquor too which I appreciate very much. She's pretty enlightened for only being 25, and is only 3 days younger than my youngest son. It's a joy and pleasure being with her because she is confident too.

As we make our way to the table I can feel the eyes staring at her, "A new girl in town!" Sasha is absolutely gorgeous with long naturally curly hair like a Mermaid. I can just hear the men's thoughts as we walk by them, "What an Angel!"

Instantly two men walk up and ask her to dance. She turns them both down and points to her beer. She asks me if it's rude to turn men down. My response is, "You get to choose who you share your essence with. Being selective of who you dance with is your choice to stay in your power. It's the same with men or women in that you get to choose who you will share your energy with!"

I thought we were going to be able to sit there for while and just watch, but Sasha has a built in radar for guys and just then a tall handsome man asked her for a dance, but he was well skilled in his asking. He probably told the other two guys to take notes as to how it's done. He reaches for her hand and said, "Come on. Let's go dance." As she started to point at her beer like she did with the other guys, he repeated himself, "Come on." She helplessly looked over at me, and then he looked at me and he said, "She cannot refuse me, No?" And I said, "It's her choice." Then she stood up and went out to show me how incredibly comfortable she is in her body while dancing the salsa. The only issue it appeared that she had was with her strapless Goddess top as she kept cinching it up after a twirl or a dip, which Johnnie did very well.

I walked over to the stairs that lead to the upper level of the outdoor dance club and introduced Sasha to Ed and Lily. We sat and chatted for a few minutes until Ed and Lily said their goodbyes. Ed had to get up early in the morning. It didn't take Johnnie a New York minute to slide in for another round of fun with Sasha before someone else tried to get a look at her Goddess eyes. Johnnie was not stupid and he loved to dance. He was in command on the dance floor and he loved Sasha's young independent spirit as she playfully let him lead for part of the time. She said that she's not very good at allowing men to lead. She is an out of the box young woman, and being on the dance floor was no different.

They came back later and were giggling about how Johnnie dipped her at the same time as another man dipped his partner and the girls heads just missed one another by a few of those curly locks! "That was so close!" was their comment! I suddenly felt like a mama lion and wondered what I would do if she got hurt and who should I call? Then I dismissed the thought and let it go back to where it came from as I waved it away with my invisible magic wand, which was simply, my hand.

Johnnie wanted me to dance with him and I declined his offer, first, because I suck and two, because the last time I danced I left the floor dripping with sweat and was shocked that it was so humid there. I didn't realize how humid it was until I tried to move around a bit. My forehead was like a wet pool of water. I looked around at everyone and realized why the women wear their hair up, with very little clothing on, and the men wear a white shirt with at least one more clean one in the car. Johnnie confessed to having two extra shirts in his car and I could see why. He was wet from head to his britches and he had long pants on with closed toe shoes! He had a towel close by to wipe his forehead. So did some of the other men.

He persisted with me until I agreed to stand at the upper level where the dance floor was safely tucked far away from my sensitive ego. Then he said something that woke me up. He said, "Don't bother counting like everyone else does. Simply stand there and allow the music to move through you and feel it." I knew exactly what he was talking about and he knew within two seconds of my swaying hips that I would be able to connect with this wonderful dance that he adored so much. He smiled really big and said, "Yes! That's it!" I said that my mama has rhythm and I can feel the beat. Moving my hips comes natural to me, always has. I love to dance!

Next he added the steps and I slowly felt the confidence to try a spin. I was surprise that spinning made me dizzy. Yet, after much practice and several bystanders popping up for some personal lessons from Johnnie in our little group, I made three turns in a row! Then I felt dizzy again and sat down into the safe zone of my phone and checked messages. I wanted to find out how our new retreat web site was coming along. It was nice to be able to do business while dancing and watching everyone there having so much fun! Sasha was having a blast and she made sure to keep Johnnie in check by not giving him her number yet.

Meanwhile I asked Roberta, who was a part of our little group, if Johnnie was a good guy and she said that he was. She was also 25 and moved to the Big Island of Love several years ago so she was now a local. I informed her that Sasha was new to the island and asked if there was anyone she ought to be concerned about. She thought for a moment and then answered, "No. There was a guy, but the men spoke with him and now he's behaving."

I had a wave of familiarity run through me as I remembered the community of men and women that we had back home many years before. The men would teach one another how to treat women and how to take care of their responsibilities while the women taught each other how to do the same while learning with the women. It's a very cool thing to be a part of. I felt the mama lion within me ease up her concern and know that Sasha is safe. I heard that the DJ who spins the music knows everyone who comes in and makes sure that the women feel safe to dance there.

I'm thrilled about this new club and can't wait to share it with the next group of women that will join us in Jan. What a fun night! I felt a bit out of place when I stepped into the bar portion of the club. But the dancing is what I love most. Booze has a way of making people relax and catch a happy buzz. As the night moves on people begin to slur their words, get tired, and lose the once radiant glow. Then they just need a place to rest their tired bones. Sasha had the glow all night and we both felt so good at the end that we were still buzzing from all of the fun energy of good music and dancing. We shared our gratitude's that we can keep the Goddess Alive through the party until the end of the night if that's our desire.

Moment of Truth: Its important to keep dancing and music alive in my life. I think that when I was in my 20's I started feeling the pressure of being married with kids was putting a damper on my inner diva's desire for dance. Say that three times! I like finding places to go that are comfortable for the non drinkers like myself who still want to have fun in total freedom. Married people need to be able to get out and listen to music with their friends with or without their spouses. Naturally, I want to stay married and would not want to compromise the foundation of trust that I have created with my beloved. Perhaps its time for me to ask him if he'd like to do this with me.

After I dropped Sasha off at her flat, make sure she's made it inside, I leave the town of Kona for my journey back to the country where the roosters will begin their 3am ritual of crowing until about 6am. They had a turkey chime in for a sing along yesterday, and I thoroughly enjoy this personal surround sound stereo system. Just before I drift off to sleep I recall a conversation with Ed saying that he has never swam with the dolphins before! I asked him if he'd like to go out on a boat swim and he said, "Most definitely! Yes!" Now we have 4-6 people who want to join us and we can have up to 14. It's comming up soon, so I'd better get my reservation in with the boat because my vision is to go out the day after the Catch Your Dreams playshop and share in the good fun with good friends who've never done it before! I better get my reservation in soon!

In love and dancing!

Tye Lani Beach

Good Morning Lovies~

I find myself needing to deliberately take time out from writing to enjoy the beaches and activities that the island has to offer. Spending time in the water swimming is one of the best ways for me to enjoy the best of both worlds, communing with the ocean's underwater world with my snorkel gear, and expanding my wings to stretch and move energy through my body. I sit for way too many hours and need more energy movement, even while being here in beautiful Hawaii. It's truly heaven on earth.

I was so pleased that the market had my favorite local shrimp broken down into half the amount they usually offer as I can get enough for one person to enjoy for a week. I was waiting for my beloved to arrive before I went shopping again as we could pick out what we wanted together. Yet he's been detained with work and doesn't know when and if he will be able to break free.

I choose to stop off at Tye Lani beach even though it's cloudy. The air is still warm and so is the water. Since its late afternoon people are actually packing up and leaving which is great because I love to be alone. I'm starting to get used to going to places by myself now. I quite welcome it, even though I think of my loved ones quite often.

I set up my chair, beach mat, and snorkel gear then head to the water's edge to survey the waves. It's amazing to see the beach without dozens of the whales in the water slapping their tales like they did in January. I could count off every 14 seconds something would take place with either a slap of a tail, or a breaching whale that would sail into the air and then make a big splash as they landed back onto the hard surface of the water again. The sound of a whale tail slapping the water can be heard echoing across the ocean. They migrate here from the northern waters to mate, give birth to their babies and to enjoy the warm island waters. Even the whales know what feels best to their spirits and that means leaving the cold dark days for sunny warmer ones. :) It's absolutely the most incredible site and sound to experience. This January I will be back to host another Pleasure in Paradise Retreat.

The tide has taken the water out further then I've seen it at this beach over the past few trips. There's a lot more sand on the beach today and I like it! The beaches here are always changing which is similar to a woman's constant change as we ebb and flow with life. Looks like I will be able to see pretty good with my mask on. There are some couples kissing and loving each other up. A dad and his daughter build a sand castle while the mother sits in her chair smoking her cigarettes and sipping on her bottle of beer and tequila. I remember the last time I took shots of tequila and totaled our VW bug. This isn't a warm and fuzzy feeling or memory so I grab my gear and get into the water.

Ahh, this is what I live for! The warm soft silky water of the mother caressing and holding me in her bosom of love. I feel so light and free as I take a deep breath and dive underneath the water to see what I might find there. I swim towards the lava laden point where I know I'll find some interesting fish and maybe a turtle or something new to me. The sea floor has a beautiful white sandy bottom that feels so good to look at. It feels like I'm in a movie. Pure bliss! As I get closer to the lava, I see big boulders of lava that look completely out of place. They're about 15 feet in diameter and have unique formations and sizes that are like footprints in the sea.

They have different colors and varieties of corals that appear to be illuminated from within. Sea Urchins have claimed these volcanic pieces of rocks to be their home and they look like they've been there for a long time from their size. The rocks have unique colors from the sea life that's growing on them. I think of all the living organisms as a color chart of browns, reds, yellow, and gold glistening and alive.

I dive down for a closer look and am surprised to see a large eel poking his head out from the puka in the rock. I think I startled him because he slid back in quickly. Then I realized that it's like looking at the head of a 4 inch wide snake and decide to let him be. I'm not sure if they become aggressive and territorial about their caves or not, but decide to find something else to look at.

Then I am startled by some large tropical fish that are about 2 feet long! They're almost translucent with hints of blue on them so they can blend in with the sand carpeting with ease. As I get closer to the lava point the water become murky and a bit colder, so I quickly decide to stay in the experience of pleasure and head back to this underwater sanctuary of beauty and bliss. I am in such awe and gratitude for the beauty of mother earth once again. Alone, in the ocean, but surrounded by sea critters and friends.

When I come out of the water I am slow to stand up and to find my land legs again. I notice that my skin has a brown tone to it against the white sandy beach. I like that color on me. It's what I desire my color to be all of the time. I pick up the lava lave that Anne bought me and lightly touch my face with it. My eye catches the pair of beaded bracelets sitting on my beach mat that I made at the PIP Retreat in Jan. The first bracelet has soft pink beads with the word 'Inspire' on it. The other is the same kind of beads but more of a rose color with the word 'Pleasure' on it.

Inspire Pleasure. That's my purpose in working with women. Over the last two decades as I've grown and expanded myself into the woman I am today, I realize that living a life of pleasure and joy takes practice and commitment on a daily basis. It doesn't take any more energy to focus on feeling good and positive and experience the good that life has to offer me no matter where I'm at. It actually takes less energy and creates more life force within me when I do take the time to focus on what brings me more pleasure today. In homeopathic medicine we know that 'like' attracts' 'like' and so we know this formula to be true in all areas of life. Who I spend our time and energy with will affect how I feel and what new experiences and opportunities I will discover along the path of life. Pleasure feels good to me. In this moment I've transcended all pain in my neck and body for the experience of a deeper bliss. Just me and Mother Nature communing as one.

The sun is just about to set and it has a Saturn look to it as two thin clouds form in front of it as if they actually wrap around the sun. It's gorgeous. I knew that even though the sky is cloudy, that when it's time for the sun to set, there is a gap on the horizon that allows us to witness the beauty of a brilliant sunset.

I am now the only person left standing on the beach while allowing the gentle tale end of the waves to lap up against my pretty painted toenails. This is the first time that I've been on this beach at sunset. It's a dream that I am once again feeling a part of co-creating the moment in. Can I just stay here? I want to keep my toes in the water and sand for a bit longer. I decided to do some editing on the hard copy of my book.

It's now dusk and I am thinking, this is so cool, but I had better start heading to my car now. Just then I heard a voice, not that voice, a man's voice and he says, "Excuse me ma'am, we need to lock up the gate now." Now I know why I was the only one left on the beach! I've read the sign that reads, 'Gate is locked up at dusk' - many times and I'd forgotten all about it. Thank goodness I was able to stay present in the moment and fully enjoy my experience without fretting about having to leave at a certain time. I quickly make my apologies and gather up my things to depart my beloved dream. I'm wondering if this is where I am going to bring Sonja on Friday for her day off for some beach time. She hasn't seen many beaches yet. When I get to my car I find a text from her saying that she'd love to go to the beach with me. Once again, we've co-created a new experience that we'll be sharing together. This is so much fun!

There was a message from my beloved letting me know that he wanted to say good night to me. His voice is so deep and gentle. I can feel his love coming through the phone and I press the number 8 to save it for later listening before I go to sleep. We are on a 3 hour time difference, so I won't be calling him back tonight. Sweet Dreams My Love.

In divine pleasure and deep bliss,

Nancy

Intuition 101

Aloha Lovies~

This blog is designed for Basic Intuition 101 education. If you've always wondered what the big deal about intuition was, but were afraid to ask, then you're in the right place! I can still recall being at a Holistic Health and Wellness event in Bellevue, Washington with my friend. She was telling me that the speaker that she had listened to in a break out room was totally off track as she described what her definition or intuition was. I didn't have a clue what this whole intuition thing was yet, and thought to myself, "What's she talking about?" The speaker was telling us how it entered the body and where it comes from. I made a decision in that moment to discover all that I could about intuition and the moment I opened that door, the books simply came to me with effortless ease. I made a decision and the universe acted like the great mirror that it is and handed me the information I needed. There is so much written about the topic and so I will do my best to use the K.I.S.S. method, or Keep It Simple Sweetie.

Intuition 101

What is intuition and where does it come from?

This is such a big question and the answer will vary on what you read, your spiritual beliefs and how much personal experience you've had with receiving the messages of intuition. Some people believe that it comes from God, The Source (Energy) Angels, the universe, the Goddesses, Guardian Angels, or Spirit Guides, or hundreds of other names to try and describe a name for what is beyond the body. There is no right or wrong answer, you can choose whatever you want to believe and that will work best for you.

In fact, that's the first lesson for our intuitive study today. YOU get to choose where it comes from as you read study and learn more. The unseen world is so full of magic and mystery that it's hard to know what is beyond our physical and emotional senses. Unless you are clairvoyant of course which leads us to the different kinds of intuition?

The Modalities of Receiving Intuition

1) Clairaudient ~ this is when you can actually hear the messages as if someone is talking to you with "The Voice" and it often scares people when they begin to actually hear the voice. Often people will pray for God's Will for them, and then when the voice comes in, they think that they are crazy and begin to shut it down. This happened to me. I felt compelled to tell my husband what was occurring for me since I was experimenting with the Woo Woo and was shocked and surprised when it met me at the door to open it.

Listen to whatever is happening around you. Tune in to hear the different tones, sounds and vibrations of your surroundings. Especially if you are looking for signs from the Angels or the great beyond, or God, whatever the name. If you have asked for a change or a shift in your life, then pay attention to your thoughts, words, music, birds, wind chimes, whatever sounds your hear. Nothing is by chance. You asked and now you are the receiver. You're not crazy, you're intuitive.

2) Clairsentient ~ this is when you can feel it in your body somewhere. You have a gut feeling, or you have truth bumps or angel bumps on the back of your neck, arms, legs or vaginal area. This is simply energy being sent through your body letting you know that you're on the right track. It's like a confirmation that the choice you're making either in alignment or off track depending on how your body feels.

Does your stomach hurt? Do you have diarrhea? Are you having a gut feeling that you ought to stop, turn around, go back, and take a different turn? Or do you feel that tingle and truth bumpy feeling that is telling you to keep thinking those thoughts or continue on with the decisions you're making. However, and wherever your body opens to receive intuition is totally OK. A Kundalini experience is when your crown chakra about your head seems to open and allow this direct beam of light filled energy which moves up and down your body like that machine in star trek that beams you into another place. Only this one really happens. Learn to trust the messages that are being sent to your body in the form of emotions and feelings. Make sure you listen to your body's messages and not to someone elses.

You can get clear on how your body feels and then ask someone who is open to this kind of conversation how their body feels in the moment. Most people don't trust this inner wisdom or inner guidance. Check in with others and learn to trust your own experience to guide and look after you.

Some women call truth bumps Angel Bumps because they believe that these are direct signs from the Angels. You decide, and when you feel different, then you have the power to change your mind, your thoughts, feelings and beliefs on the topic. That's what's so cool about being a woman. We can change our mind with ease and grace!

3) Clairvoyant ~ this is when you have clear vision or cl

ear seeing. Everyone has heard the words 'vision and dreams' and if you are clairvoyant, you will literally see visions from your inner mind's eye. People who are clairvoyant see movies being played out in their head. We can actually have dreams about events before they happen.

If this happens to you it can be a gift and a curse because it can be difficult to let someone know that the space shuttle is going to explode the day or week before it happens. Who would listen to you? Thank goodness we are living in a time and age in this moment where society is becoming more educated on the topic and detectives often hire people with such special gifts to help find a body, or a weapon, or to get evidence that will lock up the crook when they are guilty.

I had my first downloaded vision when I was 28 years old and only 6 months into my spiritual recovery program. I denied it on many levels, but never forgot the experience for a minute since it happened. I saw that I would be working with women around the world sharing information and wisdom that all women could benefit from.

Later, when I turned 40 I started having dreams that would turn to a life experience. My son told me that in North American Tribes, or First Nations, the spirits would send the dream about three days before to help you to prepare for it. That was about how many days in advance I would have the dreams before they'd show up. Again, if this happens to you, simply know that you are going to learn the art of allowing this wisdom to flow through you.

Sometimes your dreams become visions around your moon time. You have a direct line because your ego is sleeping. This is the sacred and divine feminine grace that every woman has within her. We are all called, and we are waking up to really listen. I love being on land with towering cedars and moon lodges and fire pits that allow us to tap into the earth for a deeper awareness and listening.

You can see visions and dreams at any moment of any day. Many women are given the gift in childhood, and others learn they have it only after they turn 40 or stop having periods because at that time, your blood isn't releasing eggs any more. She is now releasing wisdom, creative ideas and inspiration. That's the great thing about being 50 and fully conscious. We have a constant flow of intuitive ideas and can call upon it at any time we choose to. We simply need to have space to commune with the Source so that we can see, hear, feel and know the creative spark when it lands in front of us. Booze, dope and drugs silence it. So can toxic food and relationships. Teach your family how to honor you while you go 'within' for a deeper surrender and connect with your inner vision for clear seeing.

4) Claircognizant ~ this is when you simply have that 'all knowing feeling' that you know what you know. It may not be a feeling, sound, or vision. You simply know that either you're in alignment with your purpose, for example, or you aren't. I've had clients who may feel pretty clueless about their intuition until they came to my office. Then I would hear the same story with a different face telling it to me, "I don't know how I know this, but my husband is having an affair. I don't have any proof, but I know he is sleeping with someone else." Then she would come back within a short period of time and say, "I knew it! I told you! He left evidence out and when I called him on it, he lied!" Then she would go back and gather more evidence and say, "That's it. I'm not crazy. He said I am, but I'm not! Now, I can trust myself because he convinced me that I was going nuts."

This is so heartbreaking to watch women swing from being angry, hurt and betrayed to the feeling of hope and joy that she can actually trust her bodies wisdom, and that she is not crazy after all! Remember, when other people discount your intuitive gifts, it may have nothing to do with you, and everything to do with their personal experience, or lack of. Its important to find someone who will ask you questions such as, "How do you feel? What do you know? Is that the truth?" Then step back and listen to your all knowing feeling.

My husband thinks of his intuition as when he is leaving the house and feels like he is forgetting something, and just can't seem to recall what it is. Later he will notice that he left his lunch at home, or forgot to pick up a folder, or something else that was important to take with him. Just about everyone can identify with having that experience.

I learned to ask my body-higher mind questions in my late 30's.

As I was tuning in and turning up the volume within me, I started to ask my body-mind two questions; How does it feel to choose option A? Then I'd listen, watch, feel and observe. I'll write more about that later as it's quite a profound process and experience to open yourself to the Divine within you as a guide to your highest good. Or to be totally open to your higher purpose as you learn how to live in the spirit of service to others. Then I'd ask the next question, How does it feel to choose option B? You can save yourself a lot of heart ache and pain once you learn how to discern the wisdom within your body-mind.

People often makes comments such as, "If psychics are so good then why can't they pick the lottery numbers?" Well, I personally don't study what kind of people win the lottery. That could be a good study though! I do know that my husband and I watched a documentary where a woman won two separate million dollar scratch tickets and she said that she just knew that she would win. She was aligned with her clear knowing and with the action of playing the game. For her, there was no doubt in her mind. If you believe that something either is, or it isn't, then that is your belief.

Many of us do our best to live our lives with an open heart and say prayers like, "If this is going to benefit my purpose and my calling, then I'm open to receiving all of the good that comes to me in whatever form it chooses to take." If your highest calling is to NOT win the lottery, then psychics will understand why they aren't seeing the numbers clearly. However, if you have a dream about the numbers, then for heaves sakes, get your butt to the store and buy a ticket!

Listening to and acting upon your intuition is another topic. I can tell you many stories of when I heard the answer and ignored it. This can be a painful experience for you if you are attached to the outcome. However, it's a great lesson for you and your family to learn and discern, how to trust the person who has the strongest intuitive awareness in your tribe, home or family. Another topic is when your beloved doesn't listen to your intuition and how that experience can later turn into power.

We all have intuition. We simply need to pay closer attention to it when it comes. Keep an intuition journal. Write down your experiences and catalog which kind of intuitive you are. Many of us have at least one, maybe two, or more. I have all of them to some degree or another.

Don't quit before the miracle happens! You are the co-creator of your experience today!

In love and gratitude for YOU!

The Wonderful World of Women in Community

Aloha Lovies~

My fun loving multi-fabulous friend, Andrea MacLeod, has invited me back to her radio show for another round of fun and mutual admiration. We've both been in a fantastic community of women together for almost 15 years now. Before I entered the Family of Women, I had very brief relationships with women and I really didn't connect or understand the whole female bonding thing. Up until 20 years ago, the only way I bonded with women was at bars, or at 2am when everyone had gone home and we were higher than kites.

That all changed for me in a big way that I wouldn't change what I have today for anything. Nothing is more valuable to me than having a healthy community of vibrant, fun, and adventurous women to play with. We're all very different in many ways. Our spiritual beliefs vary, and many of my friends enjoy sharing wine, while the other half of us can't drink it or crazy things will begin to take place that we will live to regret.

We're all sizes, shapes, and colors. Some of us are single, widowed, divorced or married. Not everyone has children, or a college degree. There are women in our community who live on boats, in estates and homes with million dollar views, and others are co-sharing rooms with family. Yet, all of us come together for a purpose that sings to our souls, and brings us tremendous joy. We share our desire to be in a community of women who share our love of life, relationships, community, and passions. Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy co-creating projects that will offer more women an opportunity to sit in fun loving circles of women.

We know that everything in our lives move along much better when we have a grounded, mature, and wise woman to bounce our daily stuff off of. We have learned that life without our community of women creates more problems and less happiness. We like feeling good and want to experience those good feelings every day. We believe in the power of community to assist and guide back to our higher minds when we feel beaten down into the feelings that don't feel so good such as depression, anger, sadness, grief, and despair.

Our community of women is a global community where we bond through conference calls that have us feeling like we just had tea face to face when we are in different time zones completely. When we feel sad, or blue, we know we'll feel better when we pick up the phone and call our friends. We all have someone that we can call, and we know how to dial the phone. When two or more women gather together in the spirit of love and compassion, with a splash of higher purpose, miracles and shifts in our emotions happens. Usually right away. It's faster than taking an anti-depressant. The truth is that most of our women don't need to take anti-depressants because we live in a higher purpose.

Knowing what your purpose is in this moment is the most important thing we can know. It keeps the mind off of the small stuff, and everything is small stuff. We lift our thoughts, feelings and energy when we're together and we sure know how to have fun!

Another thing that we know is that our relationships all seem to be much better when we don't spend every day with our beloveds. Mature wise women who've been around the block with long term marriages understand that if we want to stay young at heart, and keep the love and passion alive in our relationships, we need to go away frequently. Going away might be that you go into a special part of the house that is for women only, or a sanctuary just for you to enjoy listening to your music, writing your poetry, or singing your song. Going away can mean that you leave the house one or two nights a week to join a circle of women, or going onto a conference call. Then there are those of us who get into cars and drive for many different distances to be with the women they enjoy most.

I'm a distance driver and have been since 1996. Driving 2 hours for me is like taking a trip to the grocery store. Our minivan had the nick name, Higher Purpose Mobile for many years as I volunteered in Canada and California for women's events. Now I fly to Arizona and Hawaii when I'm not in Canada or Washington. Life is a beach in my mind so I tend to attract water wherever I go. Women who have homes near bays or oceans and lakes seem to pop up whenever we need them.

We share in food, laughter, bowls of whipped cream, chocolate, massages, and many Woo Woo moments together. There isn't anything we wouldn't do for our loving friends and sometimes we attend their funerals and bid them a fond farewell. We watch the children grow up, get married, find jobs, mates and have their own kids and adopt puppies. We love our kids and keep them as close to our hearts as we possibly can without smothering and mothering them out of our lives. We strive to love deeply, and listen carefully to the words that she is saying in her pain, joy and celebrations.

One of our mantras is I am She and She is Me. When we are scared, we do our best to quickly come back into our hearts and connect with the earth that grounds us. Sometimes we forget that there is a powerful force and energy working with us, and to let go of the oars and stop rowing. We know that whatever we resist will persist. So, again, we turn to the power and presence of love. Or we turn away from the energy that is trying to grip us back into our ego minds. We know the danger of staying there. Our egos love to create separation and problems through fear. We've learned that the ego mind unchecked will literally kill off relationships. When we are in low self esteem, we are in our ego mind. We would much rather dance back into the moment and feel the radiant love that we all want to share.

We accept our calling to be the healers and visionaries of light to the next generation. We've walked on hot coals, climbed mountains, stayed up all night, and worked in hot kitchens so that one woman might get to experience the love that we share. We've cleared the path for women to find the candle lit windows of hope and love open with one more chair with her name on it. When the woman is ready the way will become clear. We are the Spirit Keepers, the Dream Weavers, the Sacred Hearts and Northern Hearts.

Together we've built bridges and stitched our banners with the tree of life at the center of the globe and placed all of the women in the form of dolls onto the wall hanging for women to see that we do believe in this impossible vision. We have transmuted our pain into passion and our desires into games like an alchemist turn led into gold.

We know where the source of our power is and we want to share it with those who want the same. We have a magic wand, and might have once been called witches, or bitches, but we look like ordinary women in the grocery store. The difference is the way we light up a room when we enter it. We have an inner and outer glow that doesn't come from our makeup or clothes that we wear. It comes from being connected to a community of loving women.

We've given up trying to control people, places and situations that have nothing to do with us. Which we find is most of what we watch other people do. A controlling woman is a woman who is in her fear. We can open the door, but we don't push. We invite, but then we let go. We know that the law of attraction is what brings us together when we are ready to trust other women.

We call ourselves No Problem Women because we no longer dance to the beat of high drama and problems. We enjoy having fun, dancing, and sharing smiles and joy with the women we meet and play with. We love our community of women and look forward to every step we take together, hand in hand, no matter where we grow.

Women like Miracle Myra, Andrea, Anne, Kelly, DeAnn, Lydia, Annette, Karen, and countless other women offer our hand and welcome you to join us for a day or for a lifetime. We want all women to feel loved, connected and the joy of having this place that we call, heaven on earth.

Together we glide through our lives with effortless ease and grace, oh, I mean, that is, when we're not working long hours until 2:00 am writing books, blogs, agendas, invitations, fliers, posting events and creating more magical moments so that we can spend more time being with and loving you!

In gratitude and love for being a multi-fabulous woman with YOU!

Dolphins in the Wild

Happy Mother's Day!

I knew that I needed to take a break from writing my book to stretch my body with a swim, and to enjoy some beach reading time. Swimming is my preferred sport while being staying on the Big Island of Love in Hawaii. I just didn't know which beach to visit since it was Mother's Day. Usually the beaches are busier on the weekends and I wondered if there would be a crowd of people with some of the car stereos blasting out base sounds which is pretty common on weekends. There's usually someone strumming a guitar or playing their djembe drum, which is nice, although sometimes a portable boom box can create a challenging place to sleep or read.

I packed up my purple floral soft pack cooler with fruit, chicken and water bottles. I still needed to make a decision on where I would go, north or south? The northern area of the island has the sandy white beaches which were sure to get a lot of activity today between the tourists and the locals. If I went south, I might be able to swim with the dolphins, and it was closer to where I am staying, so I could also save on some gas since it's $3.70 a gallon here. I'd already made several trips to the north so that I could print off copies of the rough draft of my book, and shop at the farmers market for fresh leafy green lettuce that's grown fresh on the island for $1.50 a head. It's gorgeous lettuce and I prefer it over anything else. Not to mention the 6 papayas for $2.00. In high school, I lived in Hawaii with my dad, so I know how delicious fresh pineapple is when bought and eaten right here. The fabulous farmers market has the sweetest, Maui Gold's, for $2.50 each. Yum!

I'm in such a state of bliss today as I listen to the Eagles jamming on the radio. Music soothes and heals my soul. It keeps me loose and limber instead of tight and shut down. After spending so much time writing on the computer with my thoughts, I really need to sing along with the radio right now. I have an idea for the music selection for the upcoming June Women's retreat and I'm excited to start downloading the songs. Manson will show me the latest program that he uses for his IPod. I don't have one yet as I am a bit behind the times.

We've had some rain over the several days and it's great to keep the plants lush so I'm ready for some sunshine to get my dose of Vitamin D. I ran out of my vitamins and amino acid protein shake and can't wait for Manson to bring me a fresh supply from home. I fully expect to wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him all over later this week. His plans for being with me were altered due to his working schedule changing on the eve of his flight last week. We were both sad to say the least. We're ready for some skin to skin contact. This writing, creative space has been wonderful as usual, and equally wonderful is that reuniting always feels so good. Looks like I'll be here for another month and that makes a conjugal visit really nice about now. After 32 years together we still feel the love that brought us together in the first place. We've worked hard at our commitment, and I'm very clear that having regular space is essential for my creativity and expansion. Some people have affairs, and I have Hawaii!

I'm already in such a deep place of gratitude that I wonder what will greet me at the beach.

I arrive early enough to get the perfect parking spot in front of the beach wall that I like to sit on. I quickly unload my chair, bamboo beach mat, cooler, snorkel gear, and rough draft of the book. I'm checking in on my surroundings and notice some locals are setting up their tables for a family day picnic. Then I hear the sound, boom, boom, and my heart sinks. I've just heard the first notes to the base amp of the young family to my right. That's my good ear, and so I can hear it and feel it in my bones. OK, should I just pack it up and leave because I feel like it's going to be difficult to sit here while enjoying the quiet with it this intense vibration and noise in my ear.

Then I heard that all too familiar voice that speaks to me in a soft tone, "Look at the water before you make that decision."

As I turned to look at the water I almost squealed with delight. Several spinner dolphins were flying out of the water into the air! Then the whole pod started to come up for air. They rise and fall like a wave as each row takes their turn to breathe. Six of them surface while exhaling from their, what I call, blow hole, or air vent. I can almost hear the sound it makes from shore. Then the next row surfaces with at least as that many more and I can feel a vibe running down my body. I wonder, how many more are down there?

One of the dolphins did something that I heard the whales do during our Jan retreat. It slapped it's tail on the surface of the water and an echo rang out against the rock cliff. I call this Puka Beach because of the holes in the bluff that were left over from the hot lava tubes emptying out from the volcano's might purge. It's a great backdrop and provides that 'old Hawaii feeling.' Tourists don't like this beach much because of all the lava and dirty looking brownish black sand. They want the white pristine picture perfect coastlines that are on the brochures that they find on Maui. The Big Island of Love is full of rocky, lava laden beaches and it makes for great snorkeling and dolphin sanctuaries.

I picked up my snorkel gear and walked towards the water as I said a prayer of gratitude for the dolphins being there. I wondered if they would great me or swim off as I approached them today. It's always a mystery what kind of mood they will be in. The last time I was at this beach there were 4 dolphins hanging out for the entire day. It was as if two couples wanted a break from the pod to court one another. It can get pretty frisky being in a pod of dolphins as they dart in and out of each others space. The keiki's or babies are close to their mothers side. Sometimes the ones who are what we would call adolescents will play a game of chase. This means that at any moment in time two or more of these wild ones will come whizzing by and then launch out of the water and flip in the air making for a big wow moment, especially if you happen to be right there in the water with them. This looks like it could be one of those days so I'm not wasting another moment because the decision has now been cast. What noise? Booming sounds? They've been replaced with my focused intention of slipping into the water as soon as I can gather up my gear.

As I walked on the soft sandy beach while adjusting the mask in my hands I did a mental check. Sunglasses? Off. Hair tied up with a rubber band to keep it out of my face? Check. Bathing suit covering private parts? Uh, I guess I'd better stop and retie this top before I give the snorkelers more of a show then they bargain for. The last time I was here there was a young man swimming nude which made for good fun gossip and writing.

There were other snorkelers in the water when I arrived and they were having fun dropping leaves in front of the dolphins to pick up with their fins or to bat them with their tails. They are very playful and quite smart as one time I watched one take five leaves one at a time as she circled around several times until she had them all doubled up on her fins and tail. She loved the game and was quite good at showing us her talents. It's quite remarkable to say the least to be in the presence of these smiling friends who live in the wild. It feels so organic and the dolphins appear to love the company and attention. That is, if they are in the mood.

Swimming comes easy for me having grown up around pools in southern California. The ocean was part of my childhood playground, and it was a bit cold yet we kids loved spending time there. After swimming a distance of about 200 feet, I arrived where the pod was hanging out. They headed right for me. Here they come as if I'm in a parade and they've come to welcome me to the party! There are a lot of them today! I start counting, two, 6, 10, 14, 18, 20, and then I realize that as I'm counting the ones in front of me, there are more below me and two groups coming from both sides of my face. The first ones are still making a bee line for me and I'm feeling like I'm in a scene in a movie and where the director has just said to the dolphins, "Now, swim towards Nancy, and say hello to her."

All I can think of is to send them the energy of love through my thoughts and vibes. They are just 8 feet away, then 5, then the ones in front part within inches of my face and glide right next to me as if they knew me. I wondered if they could remember me from my past swims with them. I felt like a dolphin magnet. The other snorkelers were swimming after them and I just floated in place keeping my arms to my side as to not scare them off. I wanted to Be with them, not chase them. Besides, they are pretty fast swimmers so you're not going to catch them. I prefer to let the others snorkelers chase them right back to me and that's what I happened.

As I floated in the feeling of gratitude and love, all of a sudden they were back! Faster than I had thought they would be and right next to my body. They actually scared me as the first one glided from behind me and was swimming as if in slow motion looking me right in the eye. This time he opened his mouth as it to actually say, "Hi," to me. I am shocked at the presence of my friends once again. I am surrounded by what I am counting off as somewhere between 35-50 dolphins. They are hanging with me, circling, and dancing and then the keiki's start to leap out of the water into the air again. I lift my head slightly so that I can see both underwater and above water at the same time through my mask. She swims fast from below the water and then flies up and out while flipping in mid air. "Hurray!!!" I felt like cheering and applauding their show and giving her a '10' for excellence. This is heaven on earth while being in the water. There's no place I'd rather be today.

Once again the snorkelers try to dive and chase them and they simply swim off as if they want them to leave us alone to experience the mutual giving and receiving of their love and presence for myself. I know this seems odd, and it is, even for me, but that is the feeling I have. How divine it is to be in the presence of so much love, and I want to return all that love back to them. They repeat their moves and make another bee line straight towards me and I simply soak it all up. How long can I stay in this love?

I decide that I'd been out there for well over an hour, maybe two, but I lose track of time and head back to shore for a shower and some protein and fruit. As I begin to steady my legs walking out of the water, I feel surreal, as if I am re-entering another world altogether. Only this time, it feels completely different. I feel enveloped with the radiance of love and it's emanating from me like an aura of light.

I notice that the children are all so very happy to be playing in the water on boogie boards, and with their pails and shovels. The site of smiling faces and chattering squeals of delight add a bigger smile to my face. I love to watch happy children. I feel so connected to them and am happy that they are feeling free in the same moment that I am. Everything has the feeling of One Love; the dolphins, the water, the sand, and fish merge with the land and humans. It's a Woo Woo moment.

When I sit down on my beach chair I look to my right and the music has been toned down and I'm pleased with my decision to stay. The parking lot is now full, but I am not crowed in the least. There is plenty of 'space' around me. As I munch on food I observe the usual site, people of all ages smoking pot. Just 15 feet away are three people in the 60's smoking a hooter. The observation I make is that I feel like there is an underwater aquarium right in front of us in the ocean and only a hand full of people are even aware of it. If I were still smoking pot, I might still be sitting on the beach missing out on the bliss under the water. I know that I am a mermaid. I love every moment I get to spend in the water and on the beach taking in the sites. Today, I am grateful to be alive and present to the beauty that's all around me. No judgements, simply making an observation.

Sometimes the dolphins will leave soon after a morning of play time. Yet, today them seem content to just keep making laps back and forth in the bay. Coming up for air in their mini pods. They must know that its Mothers Day, and they want to please us with their company. It doesn't appear that there are any other tour guides on the beach today who make their living offering to show people into the dolphin pod and take pictures of them while they swim underneath their bellies. There is a kyak that a couple rented from the beach vendors and they are lit up with sounds of joy coming from them as they watch the show from above the water. I decide that I want to go in the water after a short nap underneath the hazy cloud/vog covered sky. Vog is a combination of the stream vents from the volcano and the clouds merging which creates a smog type effect, but the locals call it vog. I am a very sensitive person, but the vog for some mysterious reason, doesn't appear to effect me.

When asleep, I can dream quick short dreams and this one was about Manson joining me at the beach and watching his face light up as he experiences the dolphins for the first time. He is very happy to be here with me again. It's been at least 15 years since we first came to Kona together and he is due to return to what he calls his favorite Hawaiian island. It's a nice dream that feels good both when I am dreaming it and when I wake up from it.

When I sit up and stare out into the bay I can see that the dolphins are swimming around, surfacing for air. There must be over 100 people on the beach and no one is in the water where the pod is doing laps. That's my cue. I envision these moments when I can be all by myself and simply float in their presence. After all, aren't they here to rest? I just want to Be with them giving and receiving our one love.

I am startled before I reach the pod as the same male that greeted me the last time swam up from behind me and was gliding by my side within inches of my body. I felt like he wanted to touch my hand with his fin. If there was a dolphin who was trying to dance with me, then this was my partner. I decided to take his cue and I took a deep breath of air and swam down underneath him upside down while he swam above me. I twirled underwater a time or two and then kicked my feet like a mermaid would as I released the last little bit of air from my lungs and surfaced. I love this dolphins!

By then, the whole pod had arrived to see what all the hoopla was about. Then a couple mated quickly and with ease and grace. They mate for pleasure and often. I saw a leaf floating in front of me that the snorkelers had left behind. I wondered if I ought to pick it up and drop it in front of this friendly dolphin. In that same moment, he quickly scooped up the leaf with his fin as if to show me that he knew my thoughts. Were we sharing the same universal mind? Why was I the only one out there? Did I co-create this moment for myself? Is this fantasy turning into my book, and is the story merging with my ultimate dreams and desires? I am blissed out in the Woo Woo of dolphinville. I don't have a care in the world in this moment and I could stay here for hours. They are my friends who are always smiling are circling with love. I send it right back to them. There are so many of them that I think for the first time that I may want to get an underwater camera. Thank you Spirit of love for this incredible day.

In oh so much love in the Woo Woo,

Nancy

How Living Your Purpose Creates More Pleasure

Aloha Lovies~

Have you ever wondered what you life purpose is? This is a question that I first began to ask myself when I was approaching my 30th birthday. There is something that happens at the end of your 20's that has many people start to ponder the reason for their birth and what's important in their life.

There is a recent movie about the journey in discovering what two women's life work or purpose would be. I just finished watching Julie and Julia for the 2nd time, and this time I really got the message at the end which I didn't quite capture the first time I saw it. I think I was so engrossed with how brilliant Meryl Streep is at portraying Julia Childs, that I missed some important parts.
Like the fact that these french dishes were introduced to America by Julia Childs cook books. I am not familiar with the recipes, but I would bet I'd tasting them since I love to eat good food. Especially the ones made with butter. It sure didn't seem to stunt Julia's life as she lived to be in her 90's. Perhaps it was all the love and hot sex she and her husband Paul shared together. Note to self, have more afternoon quickies when I am back home.

It appeared in the movie that Julia Childs actually couldn't have children and it created a void in her life. She didn't appear to dwell upon it in the movie, although she did look at what she would do with her time and energy. She loved her husband with all of her heart, and she also loved food. She combined the two of her favorite loves and ended up going to a French Cooking School because her husband worked in France for the U.S. government. She made her art a labor of loving perfection through being the best at whatever she did. Her destiny appeared to be guided by the synchronicity of timing and by asking the question; "What shall I do with myself and my life?"

As a viewer of the movie we know this because the writer of the book which became a movie is a 30 year old woman named, Julie. She fondly remembered her own mother making one of Julia's dishes which seemed to make everything in life feel good again. At a turning point in her writing career after the tragedy of 9/11, Julie was feeling stuck in a rut with her writing and work career. So she too turned to the question, "What can I do with my natural gifts of being a writer, and focus on something that brings me joy?" The answer came in the form of cooking good food for her husband and her to eat while writing a blog about it. She created a deadline of one year and to go through the entire book that Julia Childs wrote.

There are several steps involved with each one of these women's search for purpose and finding it to be something that brought them great pleasure, and pain, but mostly the joy of discovering that they had accomplished something for themselves and that their accomplishments inspired millions of people around the world to create something for themselves.

I'm setting this up as a Natural Sequence of Events that occurred from Julie and Julia.

1) They asked the question at a defining moment in time, "What am I to do with my life?"

The first step is the awareness that you need some guidance in finding out what you are meant to do. Then ask for help and assistance.

2) What is it that I love and enjoy spending my time doing?

Really get in touch with the experiences that bring you the most joy and pleasure in life.

3) What if I could share that gift with other people?

If you are willing to give your gifts to others while you are learning the art of your craft, then they will be able to offer feedback on where are in alignment with your purpose and when you need to correct and to continue. We call it volunteering or apprenticeship.

4) Made a decision to get educated and paid for the experience of that education.

Julie bought food and spent her evenings working in the kitchen. She gave up time with her husband. Julia went to an expensive cooking school.

5) Committed to the project, vision, dream or task that was in front of them without knowing how it would look.

They just knew that they would do it. Neither one of these women quit on her higher purpose project.

6) They found a way to get the money through creative ways.

Julie set up a pay pal account and accepted donations and or gifts from the people who read her blog that wanted her to complete the task of cooking hundreds of recipes in one year. Julia actually taught cooking classes and allowed her husband to take care of her while she went to school.

7) They didn't quite before the miracle happened.

Julia Childs spent about 8 years honing her craft while writing a cook book. She was rejected, but never quit. Her husband was always her greatest cheerleader and fan. It was his idea to put her in front of the camera so that she could teach American women how to create these gourmet French dishes while watching her from the comfort of their homes. Where would Rachel Ray be if it weren't for Julia Childs?

Julie appears to have had it a bit easier in that she needed the commitment of a whole year, a bunch of extra stress, and had a tiny cramped kitchen to work in. She was able to hold onto the shirt tails of Julia Childs for this project.

8) Find a good mentor.

Each of these women found someone who had gone through the trenches while learning the hard way. It took Julia Childs 45 minutes to bone her first duck because she allowed fear to stop her. When Julie watched Julia bone a duck on television, she was able to do it in just a few minutes.
Having a good mentor speeds up the process.

9) When you make a mistake, Correct and Continue.

When doing something for the first time chances are you'll make some mistakes. Let go of the mistake as quickly as you can and adopt the phrase, I screwed up and it's OK to make mistakes. I'll try it again until I learn how to do it better. Correct and Continue.

10) Celebrate Your Accomplishments Along the Way!

All work and no play is not much fun. Share your gifts and celebrate in the rewards the moment they happen and don't put off dancing the jig. When you're body feels the vibration of joy, pleasure and success, it will release nitric oxide into your bloodstream with makes you feel good. The better you feel, the better you'll feel.

11) Create another purpose!

Having a purpose keeps us from getting bored in life. When we are bored we create habits and addictions that stunt our personal growth and development. After celebrating, resting or taking a vacation, look for your next passionate purpose to be a part of. Create your own or assist someone else in theirs.

12) Give thanks to the Creator, or the Woo Woo for co-creating the experiences of more joy, bliss and pleasure while living in your higher purpose.

In passion, pleasure, and purpose!
Nancy

Is it a Miracle or a Co-Created Moment?

Aloha Lovies~

I've been in Hawaii for 32 days now. What started out to be a 14 day trip is going to end up being about 66 days by the time I leave. How did I conjure up a writing sabbatical on the Big Island of Love for this long? As I just plain lucky? Is it a miracle? Or did I co-create this experience with the Divine? You can all it whatever you want to call it, and I will say that this is what my book, Living Life in the Woo Woo is all about. I came up with the title last summer when I was beginning my book.

Discovering how to co-create the life you really want to be living and experiencing is what I'm most passionate about. There are many ways to live your life, and the life I choose to live is the one that I feel good living in. It's that simple for me now. When I became clear that I wanted to live in exotic, beautiful places on the ocean, while playing in my down time, I began to have the real life experiences that I dreamed of having.

In 2008, my husband and I were starting a new life together after hitting a horrible bottom during 2007. We lost a lot of money in our investment portfolio after having riding the wave of prosperity for several years. We sold our home, moved to a new town and felt lonelier than ever. The contrast of being at the bottom again and starting over with a fraction of our wealth was like eating humble pie. It's pretty bitter and my husband did not do well with all of the loss. He felt like a failure.

I had a different take on the situation entirely, as I knew who I was, and what I was capable of co-creating with him and with the universe. I went back into meditation and asked the question of all questions one more time, since I was at a new point, in a new moment. "What would you have me do?"

The voice came back loud and clear within my whole being, "Do what you know."

I knew instantly what I knew and we were a long way away from it. I came out of my bath tub meditation and announced to my beloved, "It's time to move back home. Our family and friends are there. We miss them terribly. When can we leave?"

He agreed as he knew it was time for a shift. The boys came to help us one more time to move all our stuff back home again. It's so cool when they will do whatever it takes to help us out when we need it. We sure have each others backs. Yes, we really do. Our little family is a good one.



We found a home to rent, he found a new job and we were catapulted into a new vision and purpose. Next, I imagined what I wanted my life to look and to feel like. I started off the same, "I want to be in service to women with my wisdom, experience, strength and resources. I want to bring more pleasure into the world."

I could see the vision in my inner minds eye, felt the good feeling vibrations within my body, and then wrote my desires and intentions. I wanted to experience co-creating my life work, whatever it would be, to take place in exotic spaces with nature, while playing and enjoying more pleasure in my life. I would have plenty of money in the bank to take care of all my needs, and that my beloved hubby would be filled once again with a peace and all knowing that he was an amazing Wizard. He would remember the truth of how to use his metaphysical awareness's to gain his material possessions back in light speed.

Today he and I are living on 2 acres of land with our son and his sweetie. Its a match made in heaven as we all get along very well and we all love living in nature. We even have a grandoggie to remind us to play and wag our tails more.

I had a feeling all along that after the move I'd be back in Hawaii writing my book. I didn't know how or where, but it happened very quickly. I had felt the feelings of desire to be here on the exact date that I arrived in time for a Doreen Virtue course. I had briefly forgotten about the 2nd course, Spiritual Writers Day workshop, which is the real reason I am here. This is my third trip to Kona since Dec 2008. People tell me that the island loves me. I know I love being on this island, and my desire is to write my book here.

The trip has been one miracle meeting and experience after another. There are so many happening that I had to write them all down in my. It's been a trip down Woo Woo lane to say the least and I am looking forward to sharing it all with you soon!

I've attracted a home to house sit while the owner is away and she returns next week. My context is write the book or don't go home! Humm.... is that a set up to stay? I may need to pay attention to that one!

Although I still like to use the term mini miracles. I have known for years that we are the co-creators of our experiences and if we don't like the experience then we can change it. I like the experience of being alone and having writing time to myself. I am grateful to the universe for being a mirror for my vision. I am living in deep gratitude and bliss. This is how I have been envisioning my life to be. Everyone in it is sweet and loving. Life feels good today!

What are you envisioning today?

In love and co-creating this moment of love and bliss,
Nancy
