The Wonderful World of Women in Community

Aloha Lovies~

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dolphins in the Wild

Happy Mother's Day!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In oh so much love in the Woo Woo,

Nancy

How Living Your Purpose Creates More Pleasure

Aloha Lovies~

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8) Find a good mentor.

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

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

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

10) Celebrate Your Accomplishments Along the Way!

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

11) Create another purpose!

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

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

In passion, pleasure, and purpose!

Is it a Miracle or a Co-Created Moment?

Aloha Lovies~

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

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

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What are you envisioning today?

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

Look Out! There's a Feeling in the Room!

Aloha Lovies~

When you were a child, did anyone ever take you by the hand and say to you;

"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.

The reason they feel bad is because whatever is happening 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 Intuition 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.

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.

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 occurrence. When people come together and feel bad, addictions, depression, hopelessness and grief are an every day occurrence. Notice who feels bad to be with and who feels good to be with. Adjust your steps towards those who feel good.

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 buzzipple effect into the universe and everything that is also feeling good will become attracted to your energy level. Like attracts like.

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 everyone else around you will understand that you have grown into you Intuitive Inner Guidance System.

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."

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!"

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.

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 yourself thinking, "I knew I shouldn't have done that!" That is how you practice the trusting part of your experience.

{The word emotion comes from the Greek word which means to 'move out.' 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.}

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!

In love and intuition,
Nancy

Circles of Women

Aloha Lovies~

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 always happens for those who want it. Myra is another multi fabulous Canadian woman!

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, Sister We Need to Talk! 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!

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.

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.

In love and miracles no matter where you are!
Nancy

A Man's Perspective is Simply Different

Aloha Lovies~

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.
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.

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!"

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."

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!"

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 meatier topic to discuss other than what you heard?"

"Gold. Investing in today markets. You know, important stuff!" was his answer.

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.

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.

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.

If you missed today's show, then you can still listen to it at the link on the right column of this blog.

Thank you for tuning in and turning on your Heart Light of Love!

In magic and miracles,
Nancy
