Today, I'm back at home with my wonderful husband in Washington State, home of my two sons, daughter in loves, and all of the 4 legged grand-doggies and kitties. It's always great to return home after a trip, and especially nice after being away for two months in Kona, Hawaii. What a magnificent adventure it was!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Yesterday, we celebrated my husbands 57th birthday! He looks great and has wonderful genes that keep his grey hair contained to his facial hair with just a few silvers in his side burns. Other than that, his head is a natural golden brown color. Lucky guy! His body is tall and lean and he is loves to ride his motorcycle more than ever. Happy Birthday Baby!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">I arrived home on Saturday morning at 8:30am on a red eye flight straight from Hawaii. My kids were all available so I made a souffle, pancakes and we gathered for the home coming event of 'Mama Kerner.' My sons went out to the shop and were dropping a motor into a Toyota truck that my youngest was building from the frame up. This is his 2nd since I left home in April. My family of men are all gear heads and they know intuitively what and how to do it. They are the happiest when they have something to take apart and put back together again.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Both of them worked a lot on their yards and they look great! Just in time for summer potlucks and grilling. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">By 2pm I was sitting on the back of our Ultra Classic Harley playing with the stereo and excited that it was a perfectly sunny day in the Northwest. I had been reading Face Book entries while in Kona, and many folks were not too happy with the June rain. Today is a divine 78 degrees and no clouds in sight to dampen our spirits. We took the Highway 2 route to Leavenworth which is one of the most spectacular roads for scenery anywhere in the world. As we approached Leavenworth we were in awe at the gushing waterfalls above us to the right that were in full force. I hadn't ever seen them that big before. I give thanks for the rain and the beauty of the moment.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">We enjoyed our time together hugging, kissing, caressing, and being with one another again. It was another mini miracle in motion. I had envisioned our reunion to be hot and loving. The right amount of 'Space' has a way of making a 32 year long relationship rekindle into a new, young and vibrant one. I love being and feeling in love with one man. It's soothing to my soul. I send out my thoughts of gratitude again for the perfect reunion with my beloveds.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">When we built our log home, which the X-Files CD Rom game was filmed on location, my husband made a special mantel that read "Home Sweet Home." We both enjoy the feeling of being with our small family, all together again. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Ahhhhh........I am breathing into this 'sweet spot' in life because today, I am on the road again to Canada. Just a quickie trip to attend Karen McGregor's "Spiritual Writers Group." It's been one year since I joined her group and I am thrilled to be with our community of writers once again. I love, love, love being in our radiant community of women and wish it was closer. I've written two books since joining a year ago, and am going to publish them by the fall. Thank you Karen!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">In deep gratitude for my loving family.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Nancy</span>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-64864099914990887452010-05-20T13:29:00.001-07:002010-05-20T14:01:00.030-07:00Being in the Spirit of Gratitude Creates Mini Miracles EverydayAloha Lovies~<br /><br />I rent a new car every week over the internet because I get them for $10-12.00 a day before taxes. This week I found a super good deal for $9.00 a day and I can keep the car for the next 3 weeks without having to drive into the airport and exchange it for another one. Getting a good deal wherever I can makes my hubby and me very happy. I think that most of us enjoy getting a good deal.<br /><br />This is my favorite car rental company out of the three I use. They saved my butt when I accidentally cancelled my reservation when I left home. I had a few reservations while searching for the lowest fare. Instead of cancelling the ones that I didn't want, I cancelled the one I actually needed for a good deal. It was a couple hundred dollar difference. It took an hour of work and help from the manager to straighten out my booking. I was so deeply grateful to them.<br /><br />Today, a woman that I didn't know was assisting me. She told me that I cannot get a car with them unless I had a printed itinerary since I was using a debit card. I had cancelled my flight several weeks ago and hadn't rebooked it yet because I'm still not clear on my departure date.<br /><br />She was shaking her head from side to side as if she was saying, "No way Jose." And what she actually said was, "We cannot allow you to take a car without written proof of your departing flight."<br /><br />I looked over at Joanne, who had helped me when I was in my last pickle, and said, "Joanne knows me, please talk to her." I felt instant relief when Joanne confirmed that she did remember me. She said, "Your flight has been canceled and the airline doesn't know when they can get you on another flight, right?" I saw the game she was creating for me and jumped in to confirm the story. "Yes, that's right."<br /><br />She then proceeded to rebook while saying, "I told you that you are supposed to live here, and so when are you moving to Hawaii?" This woman is very psychic indeed, and I said, "I'm working on it. I placed my order to be back here in Nov for the winter months. I love it here and it's a good place for me to work and create."<br /><br />Just then I looked over to the man who was also working with me a few weeks ago on my reservation and said to Joanne, "I see that Kenny got a haircut and it looks good!" She hollered softly over to him, "Nancy said your hair looks good! She wants to know the name of the place so she can get one just like it!" He laughed and said, "Super Cheap Cuts! Tell them to use a number 1 on the sides and a number 2 on the top! It'll look great!" I understood the lingo for the clippers since I had two sons and a hubby who liked using clippers instead of paying someone else to cut their hair.<br /><br />Joanne finished my booking and sent me outside in search of my new Beach Buggy. I saw Pua, a young girl who had helped me before and remembered that her name meant flower in Hawaiian. She too remembered me from my trip in January. She said they were all out of the economy cars so I chose the 'tourist white PT Cruiser.' As I walked around it I had this overwhelming feeling that the car wasn't safe. The tires looked a pretty worn and tired, and I just didn't feel that it would be a safe car for me to drive. I had no other information to go on, but I do my best to pay attention to the messages. So, I asked Pua helping me if I didn't feel safe in the car if I could bring it back in a day or two and get a different one. She said, "For Sure!" Then she said, "Can you drop this water bottle off to Whitney at the gate before you leave? She left it in one of the cars and it has her name on it." I said, "It'd be my pleasure!"<br /><br />I load all of my stuff into the beach buggy and head off to the gate and notice that the transmission is slipping a bit. I am really not comfortable in this car. I might decide to drive around the island since I haven't done that yet on this trip, or up to see the stars from the observatory which is a long haul and you need a powerful motor. Once I took a small 4 cylinder up it and barely made it to the mid way point. There was no way it would make it to the top.<br />I handed Whitney her water bottle and you'd think she'd won the lottery with her lit up smile and joy. She said, "I've been looking for this all day long." Since I knew that this car wasn't going to be a keeper I decided to make sure that I could return it one more time. She said, "Absolutely! Did you want to try to get another economy car? We're all out of those. How about a convertible? Would you like one of those?"<br /><br />I said, "Yes! That would be so much fun!" I'd had a convertible for several years and I really enjoyed it. Then I had a Harley Street Glide, and that was even more fun! So, the thought of having the top down with my hair flying in the wind would be a welcome experience. She wrote a note onto a card, "Whitney says Nancy is a Star." She handed it to me and said, "Come back tomorrow morning between 10-10:30am and I'll hook you up. I think my mouth was still hanging open as I drove out of the gate. I hadn't even asked for this, yet it will add great joy to my experience cruising with the top down. I love living in the Woo Woo!<br /><br />I came back the next morning and checked in with Whitney, and she told me to check the car back in and tell them the brakes are bad. I said, "The transmission is starting to slip." She said, "Just tell them that when you check it in." It was the truth too. I drove up to the woman who also remembers me and she said, "No problem. Are you going to get an economy car? I said that Whitney was helping me with finding a car. I started to feel a little uncomfortable and didn't want Whitney to lose her job or anything like that.<br /><br />As I'm walking over to flag her down and she was joyfully heading towards me. She pointed to three Ford Mustangs and asked me which one I wanted, white, red or black? I chose the black one. She told me that people want economy cars because they're cheaper of gas and they get upset when they have to upgrade to a standard car. We exchanged the information and I got into the car and started the engine. Vroom! It sounded like it was a V-8 which I hadn't driven in years. My next thought was, this could get expensive if I'm not conserving my gas. I vowed to drive conservatively and to make sure that I packed plenty of food in my soft cooler when I left the house.<br /><br />I sned out thoughts and feeling of gratitude to the universe for offering me more fun and pleasure without my even asking for it this time! It would appear that evidence is all around me that I've declared to live in a deeper state of love and pleasure and I am experiencing its arrival. I have declared that I choose to sit out dances with pain, shame, guilt, and remorse. The contrast feels so good in my body.<br /><br />When I got home I read an email response from my hubby to my request for taking some dance lessons with me if the moment presents itself. He said, "Yes!" We women just want to go out dancing with our lovers, and to put on a dress and to feel like we are a part of a fun social setting. My new friend Lily said, "I wish I'd meet a guy who likes to dance just as much as I do."<br /><br />I find that women need a little romance so we tend to turn to romance novels, bars, and movies to find it. Dancing is something that most women love to do and yet give it up because of the icky bar scene. We need more public places to dance. I've just discovered another restaraunt from Maria that I hope to share with Sasha this weekend. Maria and I danced there on Saturday night to a trio band that played hot music like Santana. Yet the environment was more subdued and more comfortable. Yet, I still feel safe dancing with my girlfriends. It's not that I don't trust myself, because I do. It's just a lot more fun to dance with women that I know versus men that I don't know. I also don't want to project an image that I am single and lead anyone on. I like it that Maria likes to dance with me and we both feel safe.<br /><br />More Desires and Intentions<br /><br />Anita, my loving assistant and close friend, is very excited to fly over here from Oahu, and see Angelica Waters in concert and to attend her event. I suggested that she stay for at least a week and that we can go to two concerts during my last weekend on the island before returning home. I wasn't sure if she really wanted to come, but it turned out that she was concerned about the cost. She really wanted to attend all along and now that we are getting a two for one rate, she is 'in' and allowing the experience to unfold.<br /><br />When I told Anita about the black Mustang she said, "That's one of my favorite cars and I love black!" I look forward to seeing her again since she's been living on Oahu since our last Pleasure In Paradise Retreat in January. We are pretty compatible and give each other some space when we need it. It'll be fun to end the trip with her since my beloved doesn't appear to be able to make it this time, and I'm ok with that because its easier to accept things as they come then to resist and reject. Besides, I've set my intentions and I know that I will be here this winter.<br /><br />These are the last few weeks and the time will pass by very quickly! I am savoring the moments that I have in this Hawaiian Sanctuary that Ariel has given to me. She is such an Angel to me as I couldn't have stayed here this long without her help.<br /><br />When I asked Ariel if Anita could stay with us for the same price that I am she said, "Yes! I just set up the bed in the spare room today! I put out the intention of having a bed ready in case I attract a part time roommate and now Anita's coming to stay!" Her desires and intentions were in action with the Woo Woo and now it's evidence has once again landed into the realm that we call reality.<br /><br />I believe that the unseen world of life is just as real as the visible world.<br />Thank you Spirit!<br />In love, miracles and pleasure,<br />NancyNancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-79336866344662219192010-05-19T00:50:00.001-07:002010-05-19T01:07:52.089-07:00Rock and Rolling in the Woo Woo!!<span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">Aloha L<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">ovies</span>~</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">I was a bit tired from my night out on the town dancing and socializing with my friends. And I was totally excited about the day because it was Sasha's day off and I was taking her to see Tye Lani beach for the very first time! I love the white sandy beach and how the sun will shine there when it's over cast or '<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">voggy</span>' in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kona</span>. Sasha had expressed her desire to sleep in today since it was her day off, so I did some writing in between my morning chores. I made a lunch to take to the beach and got all of my business tasks accomplished so that I could be free for the rest of the day and evening.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">Up until now I haven't met a young woman with so much wisdom and light as Sasha has. I realize that she's on a journey and has much to learn about relationships with men. I trust that she'll attract the exact situations and experiences that are perfect for her. She is the most carefree, light hearted and responsible friend I have here who is not attached to a man. It feels like we are sorority sisters in the Woo Woo college of fun and pleasure!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">I'm staying in the countryside about 30 minutes from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kona</span> while Sasha is staying in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kona</span>. I finally get the text that she is ready to play with me and I'm ready to go! She had what I call the early morning downloads from Spirit. It appears that between the hours of 3-7 am something in the universe is moving energy and it will wake up women in the Woo Woo to say, "Hey, you up? I wanna give you some enlightened thoughts about life and your purpose and projects." This tends to happen when the left brain is fast asleep and the download comes through like a movie being played out in a Steven <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Spielberg</span> film. I do what I can to capture everything that's trying to come through. Sometimes when I am really tired, and the download starts coming, all I can do is observe it hoping that I can recall the wisdom later. When I'm really tired and the movie begins I cannot contain it before drifting off to sleep and its lost in the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">ether's</span> until I am alert and open to receiving it again. I do like it when I have my computer next to my bed and I can jot down a few words to trigger my memory for a later recall of the download. I didn't do that a couple of days ago when the download came calling and I lost much of it, but did manage to recall a part of it's essence.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">Whatever we choose to call it; <em>When the</em> <em>Gods come Calling;</em><em> Intuition;</em> <em>Source; The Witching Hours; Menopause;</em> or just a rambling slew of words and visions it's profound wisdom and I prefer to scribe it into my writings. After all, that's why I am being called to write isn't it? To capture "the downloads" - experiences and wisdom? It's what I'm to be co-c<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">reating</span> in the here and now, and I better be ready for it. I breathe in trust and exhale anything less than loving thoughts about this amazing gift that I have called up. Many women have the gift, if not all, yet we silence it with our nightly wine, alcohol, drugs, or sleeping aids. I have a prescription for Bio-Identical Progesterone that doesn't leave me drowsy, and I can still receive the downloads while getting a good rest at night. My friend gave me an over the counter mainstream sleep aid and it was too strong and I felt drowsy the entire next day. Part of being a writer means that I can allow myself the time and space to rise at 3:00 am to capture the downloads and then drift back to sleep after a few hours on my com<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">puter</span>. During my stay in Hawaii I need less sleep. Sometimes I can enjoy a nap on the beach.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">Sasha had fallen back to sleep from 7-11am. and was just now waking up after her early morning wake up call. She really wanted to sleep in and tried to quiet her busy little mind that wanted her to get up and get things done. She made herself a sandwich and I was on my way to her flat. After she hops into the Beach Buggy we venture off to find some sunshine after a quick stop for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Chai</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Lattes</span> at Starbucks. The beach is hard to find if you don't know it's there and I point out the landmarks and signs of what I believe to be one of her favorite moments in Hawaii. We turned the corner and are cruising along the winding road between two hilly landscapes when the view suddenly opens to a view of the Caribbean Turquoise Blue waters and I watch Sasha's face light up as she says, "Oh, it's so beautiful! I love it! Thank you!"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">The parking lot was totally full, so I cast out my divine desire to park the Beach <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Buggie</span> in the perfect space near the bathrooms. We came to the end of the row and there was nothing available so I turned around to retrace the same piece of road looking at the people who were leaving the beach and walking toward their cars. Someone with very little patience could start honking and yelling, yet everyone waited for several minutes while one person maneuvered their car out of the space. Since there were at least four cars in front of me I thought perhaps one of those cars was also looking at taking this perfect spot, but one by one the cars passed it by as they left the beach parking lot. It was another perfect moment and I gave thanks for the location because I had a lot several beach stuff to carry with me. Just call me the bag lady! Beach bag, chair, snorkel gear bag, food cooler, and beach mat. Sasha quickly assisted me in gathering up my bags with a big smile on her face. It was apparent that she was very happy to be here. Her joy made my heart expand a bit more, if that seemed possible!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">We walked down the cement path to the lava rocks where we straddled them one by one onto the white sandy beach and we claimed our space. I mentioned that the good thing about coming here later in the day is that there is only one tree on the entire beach for shade, so unless you bring your pop up tent with us, that we'd get too much sun if we stayed all day without a break. It's now around 1 or 2pm and we have about 3-4 hours before we need to leave which is perfect.<br />We spent some time being in relationship, and I asked her about past relationship with her first love, and those who followed. She asked me about past relationships with my friends because I talked about them, and of course, my husband and sons who seem to come with the territory. Before I left the house, I had sauteed some extra large shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce, which we enjoyed eating on the beach. Yummy!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">What a beautiful vision Sasha and I were co-creating to be in Hawaii at the same moment in time. We started talking about the upcoming Women's event that we're attending in just 3 weeks. Sasha is hoping to make enough money in tips to pay for her tuition which is about $1,000.00. I wanted to check in with her to see if she was committed to going or had she given up on the vision of going. So, I began the dialog of a few simple, yet significant questions.</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">"Do you want to be there?" She quickly responded to my question with a definite, "Yes!" I took that as a clue that she was ready to pass through the first gate. Here comes the next question, "What do you need in order to be there?" She said, "A miracle!" I nodded my head in agreement, "Great!' She had just said the most significant thing that a woman could say when being <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">quizzed</span> by her Fairy Godmother, or at least I felt like I was, "Now that you've asked for it, the universe can get to work on it behind the scenes. Stay open and watch for signs and clues that will lead you to the next messenger, or experience that will give you everything you need to be there." She agreed and knows how to play this game well. After all, just look at where she's living now?! Not bad for a 25 year old meta <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">physical</span> student.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">I snorkeled along the left side of the lava where it isn't a white sand beach, but it is a volcanic reef, and I soon discovered another unique footprint beneath the sea in what I call my 'underwater world of bliss.' The lava spilled out from the shoreline down into the water in ripples and layers. The once black lava was now a whitish color with sand gracing the rocks for the back ground, and was a host to the purple corals that seemed to stand out like a beautiful flower in a garden. The fish were the brightest color of yellow with navy blue stripes. The sea urchins were in all shapes, sizes and colors that looked majestic with their sharp spikes perfect in every way. They were the most radiant red, blacks, and brown tones. </span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">I saw one fish that stunned me to the point of needing to stop and find a word to describe her colorful printed pattern. The only thing I could come up with for this fish was the Peter Max art from the 1970's. It was as if the psychedelic colors were transferred onto this delightful fish. My goodness this is so <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">magnificent</span>, and once again the thought that I need an underwater camera passes by. I'm getting a glimpse of why artists of all varieties live here. It's absolutely stunning and there is no way one could experience all that this island has to offer in a week or two. My heart is wide open in the love and safety of this underwater world that not very many people will ever get a glimpse of. Grateful is all I can think. I feel so deeply grateful to see all of these vibrant fish, lava, sand and coral. I can never tire of the feeling that get from being being under water swimming in warm temperatures. I could stay in here for hours, like a babe who doesn't want to leave the womb. Now if I just had a little boat with an anchor. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">After swimming in the water, romping in the waves and snorkeling we decide that it's time to prepare for our big night out to go see the all girl band, Hot Lava. They are a trio who wore matching outfits and one even put on an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Afro</span> wig that must have gone out 8 inches in all directions. They sing great classic rock songs from the 1970's, 80's, and 90's. As usual, it was a fun time at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error">Huggo's</span> on the beach. The waves were lapping up against the beach side lava rocks, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error">tiki</span> torches burning, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. It was the perfect ending of a great beach day. I'm sure to sleep very good tonight. More <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">gratitude's</span>.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">The next day I came back to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kona</span> for my favorite band to play music at a free concert which was starting about 5:30pm. I wanted to give Sasha an opportunity to see this band live because she wanted to get voice lessons from the lead singer who we've met several times at the women's events we'd attended. The band was a bit late getting started because they were waiting for another one to finish up, and they still needed to set up their equipment. Sasha had asked me the night before if they were really good and worth coming out to see. I said, "Yes! You've got to see them as it's a gift from God for us to be here watching them play. Angelica is the lead guitarist, and she has fans all over the world! She write top selling spiritual books, card decks, and events and her fans would LOVE to be where we are watching them. And yet, they're still a bit of a secret to the island folks who've never heard of them by name. However, if you were to tell them that Angelica Waters was playing the electric guitar in a band, then people would say, "Really? She's in the band? I want to see her play!"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">I'm having a feeling and a thought that I ought to head over to pick up Sasha right when she gets off work to make sure that she has an opportunity to see the band play. I decide to follow the voice and head several miles to the beachfront resort where she works. This place is so beautiful with white pillars in the open air lobby on top of marble flooring. Soft over sized chairs were waiting for me to sit in as I searched for Sasha in her Hawaiian print uniform. I see her hair up in a bun with a local flower behind her ear. A flower placed over the left ear means you're married or taken, and one placed over your right ear means that you're single. Some women who don't have a commitment ring, like me, hope that by wearing a flower in her hair on the appropriate side will let everyone know she is in a relationship.<br />I check to see which ear she has it behind but my thought was interrupted as I see a woman walking straight toward me. She was our server when I met my friends there. We exchanged smiles and I let her know that if she sees Sasha to please let her know I'm here to offer her a ride. She agrees and passes on the message to her. She is almost an hour overtime and is finally checking out with the bartenders who are busy pouring drinks. Sasha has to get in line for their approval before she can leave.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">I decided to pass the time watching the most beautiful sunset from the comfort of an over stuffed easy chair while exchanging loving words with my beloved on the phone. I'm happy that I have this new android phone where I can check emails, text, and talk from almost anywhere I'm at.Technology is a wonderful tool and today, and it's working perfectly for me to feel close and connected to my beloved during this long absence. He turns on his motorcycle's stereo that's playing a familiar song that we both enjoy listening to when we ride. My body recognizes the sounds, and tingling sensations run through me like electrical currents while I enjoy the physical memories of our moments together when we're on our bikes. I ask him to give my love to his<em> Sweet Ultra.</em></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">Sasha joins me after changing her clothes and we head for the car. She's hungry and wants to make sure that she can get some food at the concert which I assure her that she can. She responds with a smile, "This is good for me and I'm so happy that you picked me up so that I can go!" She said that she told her friends that I was her savior and she doesn't know what she'd do without me. I return with the powerful statement of, "It's my divine pleasure. You light up my heart too Sasha and I really enjoy our time together. You are an amazing young woman who is a mirror for my metaphysical/spiritual qualities that are rare."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">When we arrive in the parking lot my body is once again feeling the physical memory through energetic pulses and sensations, otherwise known as vibes. This band is my new favorite and when Tina sings vocals from the songs of Grace Slick, Stevie Nicks and Bonnie <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-error">Rait</span>, well, I just feel great! Tina is about to sing one of her original songs, and now I can sing along knowing some of the words, and definitely to the rhythm and beat of the music. It's a great song and she is a hot little Goddess Rock Star!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">My friend, Maria, is there and she gets up to dance with me as I'm not holding back from enjoying the jiggle, as my friend Lena would say! Sasha is smiling big time and moving her body while sitting in her chair. We heard about 40 minutes of their song list. They were gracious enough to do an encore song for us which made everyone happy. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">After they finished I went up to say hello and to thank them for playing for us. I went straight to Tina and said, "This is like foreplay and I leave feeling like I didn't get enough!" She said, "I know it's like that for me too! I want to keep singing and take the party higher!" Then I said thank you to our famous author/rock star, Angelica, and told her I looked forward to coming to the event in a few weeks. She replied with, "Oh, you are going to have so much fun!" Then her manager came over and I introduced her to my friends, Sasha and Maria. She is a lovely woman who I enjoy talking to at the concerts and events that Angelica plays and speaks at. </span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">I'm just starting to get to know Ruby, her manager a little bit more from events like these, and she came over to talk to us. I informed her about our plans to be at Angelica's Play Shop, and that perhaps Maria would like to come too. Ruby asked us if we were signed up yet, and I said, "No, we are going to sign up on my friends web site because she is a part of your affiliate program." She said that she didn't know about any of that. She quickly motioned for Sasha and I to walk over and speak with her privately. She said, "Here is my card and I want to give you a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kamini</span> rate since you're living here, which si half of the regular price." I wanted to jump up and down and then looked at Sasha's face and said, "Miracle!!" </span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">I thanked Ruby profusely and told her how much I loved her and how we truly appreciated this loving gift and we both gratefully accept it. I think Sasha was completely floored by it all. She was still so happy just seeing Tina sing! After all, her vision and big dream is to be a singer in a rock and roll band. I had suggested to her that she offer to volunteer to set up for the band whenever and wherever she could to stay a part of the synergy of it all. I would!!! Can you say, Groupies?!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">Angelica came over and told Sasha that she wanted to put fairy wings on her. We were beaming at Angelica as she wore her blue satin mini skirt and showed us her very sexy long legs in high heels! When I looked up her age on Google, I was surprised to learn that she was only a year older than me and she looks really hot! She just published a book with her friend on raw food and she looks better than ever. She can write a book on anything and it would sell! She is a golden girl author and I dream of being published by her publisher as they are my top pick and I have them written in my vision!</span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">On the way back to Sasha's place we are still in shock and amazement at the unfolding gift from the Woo Woo! Sasha and I are both extremely grateful to the Source that sent us our desires. We gratefully accept this gift. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">In love and extreme gratitude for the gift of life, love and co-creating miracles, </span><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;"><br />Nancy</span>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-66693082125774958872010-05-16T23:15:00.001-07:002010-05-17T09:13:47.753-07:00All We Need Is Love and a Little Dancing !!!<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >Aloha <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lovies</span></span>~</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >Last night was so much fun!

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!"</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">sista's</span></span>! 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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">wrries</span> because I didn't see myself getting out on that dance floor tonight and I would be perfectly happy just to</span><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" > watch for now.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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. Lil<span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" ></span>y 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!"</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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."</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >Just then he spoke to her, "Lily, do you mind if I take your friend out for a dance!"</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >"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!</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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 <span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" ></span>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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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!" </span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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. </span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >As we make our way to the table I can feel the eyes staring at her, "A new girl in town!" Sasha is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">absolutely</span> 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!"</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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!"</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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!</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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. </span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >Meanwhile I asked <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Roberta</span>, 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."</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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<span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" ></span> 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. </span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000066;">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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 12pt 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >After I dropped Sasha off at her flat, make sure <span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" ></span>she's made it inside, I leave the town of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kona</span></span> 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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">comming</span> 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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">playshop</span> and share in the good fun with good friends who've never done it before!

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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans', 'sans-serif'; mso-bidi-: minor-bidi; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.

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.

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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans', 'sans-serif'; mso-bidi-: minor-bidi; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans', 'sans-serif'; mso-bidi-: minor-bidi; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >Ahh, this is what I live for!

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. </span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans', 'sans-serif'; mso-bidi-: minor-bidi; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.

I think of all the living organisms as a color chart of browns, reds, yellow, and gold glistening and alive.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans', 'sans-serif'; mso-bidi-: minor-bidi; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans', 'sans-serif'; mso-bidi-: minor-bidi; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans', 'sans-serif'; mso-bidi-: minor-bidi; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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. </span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans', 'sans-serif'; mso-bidi-: minor-bidi; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans', 'sans-serif'; mso-bidi-: minor-bidi; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.

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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-FAMILY: 'Lucida Sans', 'sans-serif'; mso-bidi-: minor-bidi; mso-theme: 128font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;" >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.

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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bellevue</span>, 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. </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;">Intuition 101</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;">What is intuition and where does it come from?</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">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?</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;">The Modalities of Receiving Intuition</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">1) <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Clairaudient</span> ~ 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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">2) <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Clairsentient</span> ~ 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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">Does your stomach hurt?

Again, if this happens to you, simply know that you are going to learn the art of allowing this wisdom to flow through you. </span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;">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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">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 <em>clear seeing.</em></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><em><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></em> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><em><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></em> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">4) <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Claircognizant</span> ~ 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." </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">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 <em>all knowing feeling.</em></span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><em><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></em> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><em><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></em> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><em><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></em></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;">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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">I learned to ask my body-higher mind questions in my late 30's. </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;"></span></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">separate</span> million dollar scratch tickets and she said that she just knew that she would win. She was aligned with her <em>clear knowing</em> 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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">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! </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;color:#000066;">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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;">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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span> </p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;"></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0pt"><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:85%;color:#000066;">Don't quit before the miracle happens!

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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>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. </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>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. </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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. </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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!</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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. </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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. </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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. </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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. </span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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.</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Calibri;color:#17365d;">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.</span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">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!</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;">In gratitude and love for being a multi-fabulous woman with YOU!</span></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; COLOR: #17365d; mso-theme: 191color:#0e002;" ><span style="font-family:Calibri;"> Nancy</span></span></p>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-76590852077294348762010-05-10T18:07:00.001-07:002010-05-11T14:42:21.503-07:00Dolphins in the Wild<p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">Happy Mother's Day! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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. </span><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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! </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">I'm already in such a deep place of gratitude that I wonder what will greet me at the beach.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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?</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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 <em>chase</em> 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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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? </span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#0f243e;">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.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Lucida Sans Unicode;color:#0f243e;"><span style="font-family:arial;">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!</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Lucida Sans Unicode;color:#0f243e;"><span style="font-family:arial;">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.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0f243e;">In oh so much love in the Woo Woo,</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;color:#0f243e;">Nancy</span></p>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-88635476723794142482010-05-08T14:36:00.000-07:002010-05-08T15:34:31.161-07:00How Living Your Purpose Creates More Pleasure<span style="color:#000066;">Aloha <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lovies</span>~</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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 30<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> 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.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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 2<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">nd</span> 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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Streep</span> is at portraying Julia <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Childs</span>, that I missed some important parts.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Like the fact that these french dishes were introduced to America by Julia <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Childs</span> 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.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">It appeared in the movie that Julia <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Childs</span> actually couldn't have children and it created a void in her life. She didn't <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">appear</span> to dwell upon it in the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">movie</span>, 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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">synchronicity</span> of timing and by asking the question; "What shall I do with myself and my life?"</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">tragedy</span> 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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Childs</span> wrote.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">I'm setting this up as a Natural Sequence of Events that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">occurred</span> from Julie and Julia.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">1) They asked the question at a defining moment in time, "What am I to do with my life?"</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">2) What is it that I love and enjoy spending my time doing?</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Really get in touch with the experiences that bring you the most joy and pleasure in life.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">3) What if I could share that gift with other people?</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">volunteering</span> or apprenticeship.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">4) Made a decision to get educated and paid for the experience of that education. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">5) Committed to the project, vision, dream or task that was in front of them without knowing how it would look. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">They just knew that they would do it. Neither one of these women quit on her higher purpose project.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">6) They found a way to get the money through creative ways. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">7) They didn't quite before the miracle happened. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Julia <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error">Childs</span> 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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">Childs</span>?</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error">Childs</span> for this project.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">8) Find a good mentor.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Each of these women found someone who had gone through the trenches while learning the hard way. It took Julia <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Childs</span> 45 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">minutes</span> 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.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Having a good mentor speeds up the process.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">9) When you make a mistake, Correct and Continue.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">OK</span> to make mistakes. I'll try it again until I learn how to do it better. Correct and Continue.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">10) Celebrate Your Accomplishments Along the Way!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">oxide</span> into your bloodstream with makes you feel good. The better you feel, the better you'll feel. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">11) Create another <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">purpose</span>!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_22" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">passionate</span> purpose to be a part of. Create your own or assist someone else in theirs.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">In passion, pleasure, and purpose!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Nancy</span>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-68716599176256203992010-05-08T12:33:00.000-07:002010-05-08T20:55:00.684-07:00Is it a Miracle or a Co-Created Moment?<span style="color:#000066;">Aloha Lovies~<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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?"<br /><br />The voice came back loud and clear within my whole being, "Do what you know."<br /><br />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?"</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"><br /></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;">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."<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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!<br /><br />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!<br /><br />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!<br /><br />What are you envisioning today?<br /><br />In love and co-creating this moment of love and bliss,<br />Nancy<br /></span>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-85313327928014895252010-05-08T11:13:00.000-07:002010-05-09T18:22:00.422-07:00Look Out! There's a Feeling in the Room!<span style="color:#000066;">Aloha <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lovies</span></span>~</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">When you were a child, did anyone ever take you by the hand and say to you;</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">"When you were born, you were given an infinite amount of gifts. Some of these gifts will come to you as feelings and emotions. They are a part of your Intuitive Inner Guidance System. They don't come with a manual, and they change within every moment of every day. Sometimes these emotions and feelings that you experience will feel good, and sometimes they will scare you and they will feel bad.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">The reason they feel bad is because whatever is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">happening</span> in that moment isn't in alignment with your highest self or life purpose. You subconscious mind and body are trying to send you a message to get your attention. Your <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Intuition</span> is trying to tell you to take a step back or to move in a different direction. If the bad feeling grows stronger, then ask higher self if it's in your highest good to move forward? If you get a feeling within your body as a yes, or you hear an inner voice that seems to say, yes. Then trust it to continue to move forward. If on the other hand, the message, all knowing feeling or thought is, No. Then perhaps you'll want to take a breath and pause here for thoughtful contemplation upon your next step.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Your body is a very sensitive energy system that's been co-created to allow you to grow and expand in life so that you can have a multi-dimensional experience while you are here. The things that you put into your body either enhance or hinder your experiences, emotions and feelings. Clean air, food and water feel good to your body. Anything else hinders its ability to feel good. It's simple, yet not always going to be easy. Be gentle with yourself as you learn how to access your Intuition.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">When you feel good in your body~mind, you are closer to the Woo Woo. When you feel bad, you have moved away from your higher self, and life purpose. When people come together and feel good, miracles are an everyday <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">occurrence</span>. When people come together and feel bad, addictions, depression, hopelessness and grief are an every day <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">occurrence</span>. Notice who feels bad to be with and who feels good to be with. Adjust your steps towards those who feel good.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">You will be able to co-create the experiences and live your dreams with ease and grace when you feel good. Your good feelings and emotions will send out a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">buzzipple</span></span> effect into the universe and everything that is also feeling good will become attracted to your energy level. Like attracts like. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">If people try to tell you how you are feeling and you don't really feel that way, then you will need to learn how to bring your voice and honor how it is that you feel. When you become clear in you own feelings and emotions, then <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">everyone</span> else around you will understand that you have grown into you <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Intuitive</span> Inner Guidance System. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Sometimes people will be happy for you because they understand that you have a purpose to fulfill. Other times people will be unhappy because they want you to stay with them. You will need to set yourself free by giving your higher self the opportunity to make decisions based on trusting your bodies emotions and feelings."</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">I know that no one ever said that to me when I was growing up. Instead our emotions and feelings were a very scary and dangerous neighborhood to hang out in. It was as if I felt like an alarm when off in our home that said, "Look out! There's a feeling in the room! Duck and take cover!"</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">How might our lives move a bit easier if we were to learn and then teach others to listen to tour feelings and emotions as a wise mentor, rather than something to be afraid of, or to jam back down into ourselves. We won't be able to keep jamming it down without some major consequences taking place within our bodies and our relationships and lives. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">If you can feel it, you have the opportunity to heal it. Whatever it is. Usually its simply a thought, belief, experience, or situation. Pay attention to how your body feels. She will guide you well. Oh, and make lots of mistakes in the process of learning the art of listening to and then trusting your Intuitive Inner Guidance System. If you hear <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">yourself</span> thinking, "I knew I shouldn't have done that!" That is how you practice the <em>trusting</em> part of your experience. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"><br />{The word emotion comes from the Greek word which means to<em> 'move out.' </em>Its a process to learn the art of tuning into your emotions, and it'll get a bit easier over time if you keep practicing. The masculine part of us isn't always very patient with people's emotions. Find a place where you can either give yourself permission to feel, or find a good mentor who will encourage you to embrace your feelings and emotions. When you become a healthy, emotionally balanced woman, the world will treat you the same.}</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">The fastest way to learn and discern what is best for yourself and your life purpose is to be with other people who are learning to listen to, and trust themselves too. We are co-creating this sacred space to practice wherever we go. I will see you in the Woo Woo!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">In love and intuition,</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Nancy</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-20589314583816354462010-05-07T15:13:00.000-07:002010-05-08T10:48:05.531-07:00Circles of Women<span style="color:#000066;">Aloha Lovies~</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">I sat in a circle of women for the very first time in 1988. It was a required element in my 12 Step Recovery Program for drug and alcohol abuse. From the moment I stepped into the circle I felt scared, insecure and intimidated. Women scared me. Up until then, I didn't have a healthy role model for women. I didn't trust myself and I had from very low self esteem with a splash of ego on top.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">The circle experience showed me a new way of living life. By taking turns talking we were able to give the women in the room a space to share what was going on in her life. I moved from the feelings of fear into the feeling of safety, and I found a new place to call home. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">As I opened my heart and began to trust my higher power and inner wisdom, I became a bit more comfortable in my own skin One Moment at A Time. Today, I love the woman that I have become and I still sit in circles of women, but it looks much different today because I am connected for the most part via technology. I work in Hawaii, Washington and Canada. The circle I sit in is international. I love my women's fellowship and I cannot imagine living life without it. I tried to for 5 months and it was the worst 5 months of the my entire 32 year marriage. I knew intuitively that I didn't want to be without my women, and then I got to live the lesson.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">When one woman in our community has a win or a success we all share in it together. We do the shake it sista dance say our woot woots together. Yesterday several women had very big successes. Two of my personal friends have made it to round two of the Next Top Author competition to have their book published. They began with 2800 entries and now are among the 250 people who will move forward to the next round. Congratulation Karen McGregor and Denise Cunningham!! They are both Intuitive and Fabulous Canadian women!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">My long time friend and co-creator of the You Are A Powerful Woman retreat, Miracle Myra, has just co-created a success circle for women in the White Rock area. Whenever women come together within a circle or community, miracles happen. She has opened herself to having shifts in her perception of whats possible to show up immediately as she taps into our hearts deepest desires. Everyone who wants to experience that shift, or what I call mini miracles can and does feel it. It <em>always</em> happens for those<em> who want it.</em> Myra is another multi fabulous Canadian woman!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Another long time friend, Andrea MacLeod, has launched her fabulous blog radio show, "Everything Women in Womensville." She has written a book with the title, <em>Sister We Need to Talk! </em>Andrea supplies support for women who are struggling with their relationships with men. If you haven't listened to her interview with me, then just look to the right of this blog and click on the radio show play button. She's another fabulous Canadian woman!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">This week on our Divine Writers call it turned out to be very woo woo and the women who were on it really enjoyed being 'woo-wooized,' as one woman called it. The Land of the Woo Woo is when everyone comes together in state of intentional desire to connect with a power greater than ourselves. We tap into the universal flow of life, and love. As a result of being in our hearts saying loving words and expressing these loving desires, we lift the veil of darkness which exposes the light. Our bodies begin to fill up with the Chi or Prana of the life force energy, and we tingle we giggle in amazement at the experience of it all.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">We have these experiences whether its on a phone call, in a living room of a woman or at the place we hold events. We open our arms and hearts to the women who want to live in the light and miracle of love. Together we co-create these mini miracles one moment at a time. I am a part of the Cyber Sisterhood of the Woo Woo Women and I love it! There is no place I'd rather be in this moment, then with you having an experience with words, thoughts, feelings and inspiration.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">In love and miracles no matter where you are!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Nancy</span>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-79624188371267770362010-05-06T16:05:00.000-07:002010-05-07T00:06:50.850-07:00A Man's Perspective is Simply Different<span style="color:#000066;">Aloha Lovies~</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">This morning I had the privilege of chatting up energy with my friend, Andrea, on her blog radio show. Andrea and I met while being involved in a higher purpose project about 14 years ago.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">We share a love and passion for women, and being serving a purpose while having fun. I hope that you will tune in to her blog radio from today, May 6th, 2010.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">When the call was over I got a call from my hubby. I am still in Hawaii and he is in Seattle right now. He said, "Great show! I wanted to call in!"</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">I said, that would have been fun to have you call in. He said, "But I thought I'd get choked up, so I didn't."</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">How sweet to hear him say that. My heart was feeling him fully wide open. Then he said, "It was a good conversation, but you really didn't talk about much!"</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">I almost gasped, "OMG! You are such a classic man." I'm laughing inside and out right now while thinking about women who would get hooked into this comment. I asked him, "What would have been a <em>meatier topic</em> to discuss other than what you heard?"</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">"Gold. Investing in today markets. You know, important stuff!" was his answer.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">We both started howling. A traditional left brain man has his priorities on providing for his family. My husband had his eyes on gold right now and that was what he felt was important. Money first, everything else is second to that.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">It's taken me many years to be in a place where we can have such fun with each other. He knows that relationships are at the top of my priority list and without them, I wouldn't be happy. In turn, I know that he is always going to look after how to best take care of his family.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">His comments were a perfect case and point about where we find value in our lives, and how men and women will look at the same situation through different filters. Of course, we all look at the same situation through different filters, yet, the topic today was between men and women.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">If you missed today's show, then you can still listen to it at the link on the right column of this blog. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Thank you for tuning in and turning on your Heart Light of Love!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">In magic and miracles,</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Nancy</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-54629063801004777542010-05-05T14:23:00.000-07:002010-05-05T23:56:28.038-07:00The Truth About Long Term Committed Relationships<span style="color:#000066;">Aloha <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lovies</span></span></span>!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Today I will be having a lively discussion with my long time friend, Andrea <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">MacLeod</span></span>, about my 31 year <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">LTCR</span></span>.

<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Many years ago in the first couple of years of having had a Spiritual Awakening, I came across a network marketing company called, Amway. Perhaps you've heard of it. ;)</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Amway taught people that we live in a society of free markets and that if we could dream it, we could create it. Although my experience within the organization was brief, only a few months, I took away some gems that have shaped the way I think and feel about creating goals, which we later called intentions, and now I call desires.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">They suggested reading these books to help us understand the inner resources that we had at our fingertips; <em>Think and Grow Rich; The Power of Positive Thinking; and The Magic of Thinking Big.</em> I found a theme within these books. The authors were all living the lives they desired by using the power of their thoughts, beliefs and and feelings. They led an honest lifestyle and were kind and generous to everyone they met. They actually very bold and 'expected' good things to come to them.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">I read their books and then begin writing down my goals like a child preparing to write her Christmas Wish list. They told me to write down 100 things that I wanted to achieve or to have in my lifetime. This was about 20 years ago, and I can still see where I was when I wrote my first list. I'm not sure where this list is or if it still exists on paper. Yet, the experiences have been lived in many ways. The material things have come and gone and come like the ebb and flow of tides. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Today I know that I am fully connected to my desires and I have no need to write them down. I have a keen inner vision that can see the dream as if it's happening in the moment. I can feel it within my body as a tingling sensation pulsating as I co-create my desires with the assistance of the Woo Woo. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">I still like to write down my desires not so much because I feel that the universe needs to see them like a child gives to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Santa</span>, but because its a fun thing to do as part of the co-creation process.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Over the years I've gathered plenty of 'proof' that I can manifest my deepest yearnings whether it be an experience or a material item. So, it's not that I seek more proof either. I know and trust in the universal power of love to bring forth everything that will assist me in my passionate purpose.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">I like to write down my dreams and desires as part of playing the game to watch what happens. We use a universal abundance check that is fun to write out and paste onto the wall or bathroom mirror. I used to wonder if all this Woo Woo metaphysical stuff really would worked, and now I know that it does. After an infinite amount of mini miracles, I am a true believer. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">
<br />The best part of being involved with network marketing companies was that they were often the biggest <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">metaphyscians</span> on the planet! We had so many fun times and experiences with each one of them and loved being with the light minded people who knew how to cultivate their dreams like alchemists turn lead into gold. Women are very powerful creators who are wonderful teachers of the Woo Woo. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Writing down your dreams and desires then sharing them with your trusted magical manifesting <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">friends</span> is a fun game to play. If you want to have more fun in your life then engage in the pure joy of sitting in circles of loving, powerful women while creating visions boards and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">writing</span> down your Divine Desires. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">We co-create events with a pot luck item to really enhance the experience of love, creativity and bliss. This is a very fun thing to co-create with positive and playful women. Women who come together in a circle or community gathering are happier, healthier women. Women who dare to dream are way more fun to be with. We are all reaching for the good feelings of pleasure, joy and pure bliss.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">We call it the 'Catch Your Dreams" events and whenever we can bring a conscious, co-creating community of women together for fun, its a good thing for the world. Laughing women is a sign of vibrant health and vitality. People are attracted to a circle of happy women. We know this from experience at our events wherever we go. Who wouldn't want to be with happy, loving and playful women?</span>
<br /></span><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">I suggest that single women who want to attract a wonderful man into her life begin learning the art of being in a circle of women. A healthy circle of women is where you will learn how to take care of yourself while living in a Long Term Spiritual Relationship with a Man. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Women need women more than they need a man today. With independent women taking care of themselves we need to learn how to feel, heal and open our hearts when we are experiencing the contrast of moving from pain into pleasure. For more about the Contrast, see my blog; Create Your New Career in The Woo Woo. Humans haven't learned the art of living in the Bliss 100% of the time so we've been given the contrast as a way to gather more experience in order to come back to the feeling of pleasure. Anyone in a relationship will learn the dance from pain back to pleasure intimately.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">What are you dreaming about today? Feel it and share it with someone who loves and accepts you. She will hold your dream in her heart as if its her own.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Co-creating your visions and dreams is a fun thing to do! Play, play, play! Create a Fun Life for Yourself Today!</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">We see you! We are holding your dreams in our hearts and would love to be a witness to their birth!</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Loving you.</span>

<br />Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-26512632669266734912010-05-03T11:26:00.000-07:002010-05-04T13:53:55.551-07:00Create Your New Career In the Woo Woo<span style="color:#000066;">Aloha Lovies~</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Have you been feeling like you're on the verge of a shift in your life work today? Are you spending the majority of your time with people you enjoy being with? Do you have an idea or dream of what you'd rather be doing for work but feel that you need more money in order to live your purpose?</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">If this sounds familiar to you then welcome to 'The Moment of Truth.' The MOT is a place to be embraced because it's here to let you know that you are ready for a new shift in your focus. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Making small shifts in the moment while reading this email will send your body~mind small energetic vibrations that will open your heart as the vibes ripple out into the <em>Morphgenic Fields</em> of the Universe. These vibes are always working behind the scenes to bring forth your heart's desires. </span><span style="color:#000066;">For more about the Morphongenic Fields see Rupert Sheldrake's writings. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">These microscopic thread like energy super highways are all moving in different directions sending your <em>feelings of desire</em> into the infinite intelligence of the Universe. It's way bigger than Google. The scientists speak of it as quantum physics, but the power it has is not in our vocabulary, although we do try to give it a name. I simply call it the Woo Woo.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">What you may be experiencing right now is what we call 'the contrast.' The contrast come into life experience via your body~mind in the form of emotions, thoughts, feelings and intuition. The contrast will show you the difference between feels good to you through the positive experiences and emotions of love, joy, fun, happiness, bliss and pleasure. This side of the contrast gives your energy.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">The other side of the contrast will tell you what feels bad to you in the experience of painful or what we call negative emotions, events and experiences such as anger, frustration, grief, sadness, depression and loneliness. It drains or depletes your energy. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000066;">The purpose of the contrast is to show you <em>what events</em> feel good and what doesn't. It also shows <em>who</em> feels good to be with, and<em> who</em> doesn't when you are with them. It's simple. When you feel good, you are living in alignment with your purpose. When you feel bad, you have become misaligned with your true self and your purpose. The sooner you can recognize this, the sooner you will become realigned to the good feelings you crave and desire.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Your intuition is your inner guidance and it's been brilliantly designed specifically and personally for <strong>your highest good</strong>. The way it works is simple. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">When you are connected to your higher self, then you feel good and experience more joy, fun, and pleasure in life. You have more positive emotions, freedom and pleasant outcomes more often in all areas of your life. Your mental, emotional and physical health is at it's best here. Your work is satisfying and the people around you are happy to be in your presence. You have an infinite amount of life force energy, creative insights and inspiration for all of your projects. The simple task of chopping vegetables can feel like a Zen experience. Your food is more flavorful, colorful and alive. You are totally loving and present with your children and can see how they are much wiser than their size. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">When you don't feel good you will experience more negative emotions, feel stressed out, unhappy in your career, and relationships. You will find that everyone around you is negative. You will feel like people want to suck you dry. You feel as if all they want is your time, your talents, and your money. Your food may or may not be processed with more fat, sugar, and prepared by fast food stores and chains. You might feel sick and tired of being sick and tired. You may be into medicating yourself in order to cope with life on liefs terms. You look forward to your daily wine at night with cookies, or ice cream, or sex to feel better with. There's nothing wrong with wanting to feel good. We're just pointing out the underlying issue that is still trying to get your attention.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">What's important to observe is that it's time for a mini miracle which can shift your awareness from feeling bad to feeling good again. You can try on a new feeling by saying to your higher wiser self, "I am willing to create a new feeling within me, so that I can feel better now." The willingness unlocks the door and opens the gate to a new view. We like to call these new perceptions, Mini Miracles of Love and Grace. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">
<br />If you are grieving a loss of love, or material things, then grieve and feel the loss fully. If you are depressed, then feel your depression fully. We know that these feelings and experiences are part of your lessons about the contrast. When you are ready to move on then, continue with this process. Your ego will want you to grieve for a long time. Your higher self will want you to know that you can use this experience as personal gift in your life purpose. No one can know what your experience feels like unless they've been through it. It might lead you to a new career or decision that others would miss simply because it wasn't part of their experience. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">The moment you acknowledge and appreciate your bodies inner wisdom and guidance you will begin to experience a new feeling. It may be very subtle and slight. Simply breathe. By taking the time to connect and get grounded, you've just taken your inner power back. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">When you ignore the messages of your body and say, "I'm too busy to take a breathe right now, I have too much to do. I don't have time." Then the response from your body will become louder. You may try to numb out the sirens that are going off inside of you by 'functioning over' this vital gift of inner wisdom, but it isn't going any where until you stop and listen to what your higher self is trying to communicate to you.</span>
<br /></span><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">I understand that you are a very busy woman. The world can turn a time or two while you take 2 minutes to breathe. Inhale and exhale on a sigh. You can give the office something to gossip about. They may think you are having sex, but you are just breathing. Remember to laugh as it will help you to breathe too! ;) </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Are you pushing down your emotions through addictive, or unconscious behaviors? What would happen if you were able to allow everything that you were feeling to bubble up to the surface? Can you sit with your emotions today? Do you feel if you did, then you would 'lose it?"</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">What is it that you would lose anyway? Control? Of what? Your mind? Emotions? Tears or snot? A relationship? Money? Your job? Do you feel like you would go insane? We become highly emotional people because we haven't learned the art of allowing our emotions to move through us fully. We you ever called a cry baby or too sensitive or too mean? This is because we haven't been given a safe place to talk about our feelings and to be totally aware of what is happening within our bodies. The truth is that we are being given these emotions as an inner sensory of what feels good and what scares us. Insanity comes from not accepting, listening to, and appreciating our emotionally inner guidance systems. Crying actually releases endorphins and other hormones to make us feel better. We have our own inner pharmacy that helps us if we use it. I've seen women go off of medications when they've grieved fully and then connected with their purpose never to go back on them again. </span>
<br />
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">The biggest fear that we humans fear is to have our love rejected and to be alone. Our greatest desire is to feel loved, accepted and cared for. We want to know our life has made a difference to the people around us,to Mother Earth and beyond. We want to leave a Legacy of good. The only place that will assist us in our visions becoming manifest is through the doors of the Woo Woo. I know, it's a strange and funny sounding term. Yet it fits for me, and for a lot of the women I know. We just look at each other after experiencing miracles, and say, "That was so Woo Woo!"</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">The way into the magical world of the Woo Woo is directly connected through the process of letting go your addictive behaviors and patterns of trying to please or control, other people, places, or situations that are out side of you. Is it time to let go of trying to be 'perfect' and to </span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000066;">begin the process of living your life for your own highest good? Are you willing to let go of everything that is not in alignment with your purpose and vision, including your family, relationships, and career? Can you allow the fear, scarcity, lack and anxiety be replaced with love, trust and complete expectation that you will be taken care of?</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000066;"></span> </div><div align="justify"><span style="color:#000066;">Then perhaps you're ready to tap into the Ultimate Source of Your Inner Power through Self Love and Acceptance. When you can allow other people who you love, to call you Selfish, then you will know that you are making the shift. People don't want your to change. Their ego's want you to stay with them. They are afraid and want you to remain in the fear with them. Once you accept that your loved ones will only allow you to grow to the capacity that they are willing to grow, then you can love them as you take new steps that are meant for you. You may be tempted to stay back with them because it feels safe and familiar. Yet your inner wisdom is saying, "If I stay here, I will die." This is a time of a deeper surrender to the unknown world off the woo woo.</span></div><span style="color:#000066;"></span><span style="color:#000066;"></span><div align="justify">
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">A deeper surrender is when you can become<em> willing</em> to let go of your ego minds controlling and addictive behaviors. This is the place that you will experience heaven on earth. New insights, awareness, and solutions to all of your problems will become available for you the moment you can let go of anger, fear, and frustration. Take your focus off of these painful feelings that your ego wants you to hang onto for dear life, and practice allowing your higher power, and the mystery of the Universe to be the alchemist of transforming pain into power. Feel it, and heal it. The moment you do, the Universe will immediately begin to show up in the most syncronistist ways. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Simply pay attention to how you feel in the moment. This is a practice, not a perfect way of living.</span> </div><div align="justify">
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">One of my dear beloved sisters wrote this statement in the body of an email that came from her life experience this morning after making a slight mistake. She has been involved in a spiritual growth and recovery process for over 2 decades now.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">"When I screw up, I just feel terrible--it's the ego telling me I can never make a mistake and still be accepted or loved. Such errors are my being human and not intended to create pain."</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Powerful wisdom. This real life line is about us being able to allow ourselves and other people to make mistakes when we're learning how to do something new. When we miss our desired intention, we can say, "It's OK, let's simply correct and continue as we become a bit wiser in this moment."</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Yesterday I wrote about being sweet and gentle with yourself and this is a great example for two women, myself and her, creating the space to make mistakes and to learn from them without adding more shame, blame, anger, guilt or pain onto one another. We don't have a need for that today because we are both practicing to the best of our ability today how to be healthier, more loving, conscious women. She has been one of my greatest teachers in my own processes. We help remind one another when we get off track.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">When I am living life in the Woo Woo there is nothing to worry or fret about, no one who needs to be fixed or healed. Everyone is loved and appreciated for being and doing the best that they know how to. I trust that everyone can take care of themselves. It feels like my ego~mind has taken a nap for the moment and I feel pure love and bliss.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">The first step to co-creating work that you love is to look at what you've created in your life up until now. Look at how powerful you have been! Next, come back into your body and allow your heart to open into the presence of self love and appreciation. You are a powerful co-creator of your own life! Can you feel the love that is within you? Breathe into your body. Relax your busy mind. Trust in the Universe to bring you what your heart desires to feel in this moment.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Moment of Truth:</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><em><span style="color:#000066;">You will access or manifest your deepest desires when you are able to feel fully present in this moment. You are creating the feeling experience of being with your desires. Notice how you feel now. That's it. There is nothing else you need to do. When you are in the Woo Woo there is an absence of a 'hook' that your ego would say, 'If 'I do this, then I will get that.' You are inspired by your connection to your own loving thoughts and presence. Everyone around you feels loved and accepted in this moment by you because of your emotional energy and vibration.</span></em>
<br /><em><span style="color:#000066;"></span></em>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Remain detached from the outcome of your desired manifestation. Notice the contrast of how you feel as you return to your breath. By accessing the feelings of love, you activate the Woo Woo which activates then releases the life force chi or prana for your body to assimilate one again. It's always there, humans just turn it off with all the pain and drama that you love so much. In this moment, you've taken the first steps to begin accessing the infinite wisdom of the Universe. It's another dimension of reality that's very, very real. It's always here, yet only accessible for those who Believe in it.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">You will search for evidence that it does indeed exist. You will sabotage your ability to enter into the Woo Woo because your society has programmed you to ignore it. Be gentle with yourself. Simply look are what you have already consciously or unconsciously created for your life work. Do you love it with all your heart? If not, are you ready to take the risk of letting go of trying to control the outcome? Can you surrender your addiction to perfection? You're not alone. We have a collective ego in our society and by recognizing it, we can begin to turn off the mainstream media and begin looking outside of the television box to what truly makes us sing our own song.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">As synchronicity would have it, I received another email today from a woman who is co-creating the Women Inspiring Women Retreat this June. She wrote some words that felt really good to read. I asked her if I could share them with you because they in alignment with what I'd here in my blog.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">"This is a beautiful opportunity of what is flowing from my spirit and my heart. I'll trust that. I will have something meaningful to share that will resonate with the women." Annette</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">I love how her words felt when they landed within my body-mind. I could feel her heart and it felt good to know that she was one of our fabulous facilitators. She had the absence of her ego. Total trust. She is a very powerful woman and I look forward to co-creating with her.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">The thing that you do have total control over is your ability to co-create your life with the Universe. You are the author, writer, screenplay director, producer, and marketer. Everyone in your life has been a part of your co-creation. If you don't like it, then you have the power to re-write your script.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Today's Affirmation ~ As if it has already arrived in the present moment.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">I feel excited to be living, working and playing in my new career. I feel happy and joyful looking at my plump bank accounst. I feel a deep gratitude and appreciation for enjoying my life work in this moment. I love co-creating work that is both satisfying and abundantly rewarding. I enjoy the freedom of allowing the spirit of love to help and assist the people that I care about. It feels good in my <span style="color:#000066;"></span>body to know that all of my needs are being looked after. I love living in and playing with women in the woo woo!<span style="color:#000066;"></span> Making a difference in women's lives fills my heart up with love. <em>I am the bliss!</em></span><em>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span></em>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Congratulations!

<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Today is a day of bliss, pleasure and beauty. I've co-created this day within the Woo Woo. My definition of the Woo Woo is this; </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">"The Woo Woo is a reality that I experience when I am fully present within this moment, and consciously connected to the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe."</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">I am filled with love, well being, and radiant joy. Everyone I come into contact with is sweet and loving. I enjoy feeling and being in the experiences of my desires.</span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">Today is the best day of my life because I am aware of all that I am and all that I am becoming. There is nothing that I need to do to deserve all the love and abundance that is within me. </span>
<br /><span style="color:#000066;">
<br />I live in gratitude for the dream that I've co-created within the Woo Woo.
<br />My dreams and desires manifest with ease and I adore you for co-creating them with me.
<br />
<br />I am a Dream Weaver and will hold your dreams and desires within my heart, body and spirit. What do you desire to feel in this moment? What dream are you holding within your heart?
<br />
<br />Please share them here with love and positive expectancy!
<br />
<br />Today's Affirmation:
<br />
<br />Be Sweet and Gentle with Yourself"
<br />
<br />Imagine a day where you only spoke soft hearted words to yourself and everyone around you. What would you say to yourself? When you commit to the art of practicing being sweet to yourself, then you will begin to attract other sweet people into your experience.
<br />
<br />How much gentle kindness can you allow into your heart? Keep your heart open as you breathe in the infinite amount of love that the Woo Woo has to offer your body, mind and inner spirit.
<br />
<br />I live in gratitude for being Sweet and Gentle to myself today.
<br />
<br />The Universe Loves Me Unconditionally and reflects that love back into my experience through my own words, thoughts, sounds and feelings. </span>

This event promises to have a lot of fun while being in the woo woo. It's my favorite combination!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">If you feel called to join me for this event and would like to swim with the dolphins while you are here, then simply let me know. I can give you all the tips for finding the best rates and places to stay with some advance notice. I have been here for three weeks writing my book and its blowing me away how magical this place is. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">In order for us to be in service to you we would need for you to click on the Doreen Virtue banner above on this blog and register for the ATP course. Once you do, then let me know and we will start the party.</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">As an author, leader, facilitator, for 2 decades, I am thrilled to attend this party and will be looking for other women to join me in the woo woo!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">In Divine Love and Miracles, </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Nancy</span>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9201243815479544804.post-72096248836707127512010-04-26T21:18:00.000-07:002010-04-27T01:06:33.352-07:00This Week Divine Women Writer's Tele-Seminar with Nancy & Karen, Live or Recorded for YOU<a href="http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs056/1102168938433/archive/1103343016246.html">http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs056/1102168938433/archive/1103343016246.html</a>Nancy Kernerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14273189168702649268noreply@blogger.com0
