This is a very special post here today…

I’m going to talk about something that has incredible power to transform your life and help you truly own your greatness…

But first, I have an update to share with you

I’m writing this email to you today from Italy! Traveling to Italy has always been a dream of mine… and I feel so grateful to be here right now!

I know, I know… I totally caught the traveling bug… and I’m absolutely loving it!

Not only has traveling around the world been fun and adventurous, but it’s also been an incredible personal growth opportunity as well.

I feel as though I’ve accelerated through years of transformation and healing just in the last few months alone!

Whether your dream is to travel the world too, open up a retreat center in South America, or simply experience the peace and comfort of having true abundance in your life…

It’s ALL possible.

And I’m committed to helping you create the life that is deeply fulfilling to you.

I know you haven’t been hearing a whole lot from me lately… but just know that I’m still here and I think about you a LOT.

And over the next month, I’m going to be investing my time in a month long course here in Italy that will help me create a much bigger impact in YOUR life and a bigger impact for the planet.

I’m so excited  

I’m in Northern Italy right now spending time with one of the world’s largest intentional eco-communities. They are at the cutting edge of sustainability in areas of science, technology, economics, ecology, permaculture, and community collaboration. They are also very committed to music, the arts, and universal spirituality.

I’m here taking a month long course (curriculum developed by an amazing company called “Gaia Education”) on how to create and innovate empowered, sustainable, and collaborative communities on the planet, focusing on 4 main areas:

Spirituality (and shifting to a holistic worldview), Social collaboration, Ecology, and Economics.

It’s a holistic education that can be applied to many areas of transformation and positive change, both locally and globally.

I’m going to be learning about the most effective tools, strategies, and ideas for creating successful communities, along with some of the most cutting edge sustainable solutions that currently exist in the world…

And right now, the plan is to integrate this knowledge with the power of the internet to help create and unite communities all over the globe who are committed to their own personal transformation, as well as collaborating together to co-create a more thriving, loving, just, and sustainable world for ALL.

There’s an unbelievable amount of power in collaboration, and so many exciting possibilities ahead! So definitely stay tuned because I’ll be sharing much more about this as this vision crystalizes and moves forward!

Now, let’s talk about helping you manifest YOUR dreams…

In order for you to take efficient and powerful action towards your dreams and goals, you must first become powerful yourself… and in order for you to really own your full, true power, it’s vital for you to LOVE and accept ALL of who you are.

Self love is the foundation for success in life and is truly the KEY to unlocking the love, power, wisdom, and fulfillment that we all desire most deeply.

For me, this has been an ongoing journey for quite a few years now… and I’ve come to discover that the more I’m able to love and accept myself, the more clear, powerful, free, and loving I am. When we come from a place of wholeness in life, where we love and accept all of who we are, we are able to access more of our true power and potential in all ways.

Self love is also the bridge that allows us to feel and experience our interconnectedness with all of life. And the more connected we feel within ourselves and with others, the more love and joy we invite into our lives.

Now, there are some people in our world (and you may be one of them) who would initially perceive self love as narcissistic or selfish… or even maybe that it’s just airy fairy talk that doesn’t really produce any real results in life.

But I’m here to share with you today that this is literally THE most important and life transforming thing you can ever do for yourself, your loved ones, and the planet.

The more you are able to love yourself, the more love you have to give and share with others. Not only that, but the more you love yourself the more you can RECEIVE love from others and the world. Most people have a very hard time receiving love, and therefore experiencing love, because their hearts are closed.

I, myself, have definitely been one of them. And it’s been the journey of going deeper into self love that has allowed my heart to open more and more, expanding my experience of love in all ways.

This journey to rediscovering the love within our own hearts is what I also call the journey of healing.  It’s about healing and releasing the built up self judgements, pain, blockages, and walls that we’ve put up, that keep us from feeling and experiencing the love that is already there within us.

To heal means to become whole. And when we come from a place of wholeness, we open ourselves up to the totality of this beautiful, majestic universe!

Now, with that being said, it’s important to understand that we are already whole and always have been… it’s just our self perception that keeps us from experiencing our wholeness, or our true greatness.

When we judge a part of ourselves as bad, not acceptable, ugly, wrong, or not good enough, we literally “disown” that aspect of ourselves.  We avoid it because it hurts to feel it, and we end up hiding it from others, and ourselves.  Whatever we cannot love and accept about ourselves becomes part of our shadow…

You can think of your shadow as the part of yourself you do not want to see.  It’s like having a dark basement inside of yourself where all of the “unacceptable” parts get stored away to hopefully be forgotten about.

Because we don’t accept what’s in our own basement, we automatically assume that others won’t accept it either.  So we expend so much energy, both consciously and unconsciously, to hide pieces of ourselves we don’t love and accept in order to be loved and accepted by others.  We show only the parts we think will get the love and approval we’re seeking.  

And so, we show up in life, not as ALL of who we are, but as a fragmented version of who we “think” we are… as a representation of a distorted self image.

And what we throw away in the basement never actually goes away.  In fact, it starts collecting so much dust and grime, that it starts to cloud our perception, our filter through which we see the world.  And when we perceive unclearly, we create a whole lotta unncessary hurt and drama in our lives.

What we don’t accept about ourselves, we can’t accept in others.  So if we see that similar trait in another, we’ll judge it and most likely get very triggered by it.  We will also be unconsciously projecting this part of ourselves onto others and the world… and whatever we project, gets reflected right back to us.  

So the more we try to hide and disown our shadow, the more we see our shadow reflected back to us through other people and our life experience. Simply put, the “monster” in the basement will keep showing up again and again in various forms until we have the willingness and courage to turn on the light and look at it.

Life is beautifully designed to give us exactly what we need to grow, evolve, and become more of who we already are.  Experiencing our own shadow reflected back to us is the perfect way for us to heal and wake up to what’s really true… it’s the opportunity to bring whatever’s in the darkness into the light so we can truly own our greatness and experience the beauty of our wholeness.

In my life experience, there have been many things I stored away in my inner basement that I wasn’t able to love and accept about myself. And most of these things were self judgments that started in childhood and adolescence. In fact, much of our self image is sourced from these younger life experiences, when we really don’t have a strong solid foundation for understanding who we really are at all.

When I was a young child, I formed the perception that I was ugly… I had red hair, pale skin, and freckles, which to me looked much different than everyone else around me. So growing up, I felt ugly, unworthy, and had very low self esteem.  

Once I became a teenager and started wearing makeup, I was so happy to finally be able to “look prettier” and hide my true face.  Makeup became a mask that made me feel better about myself from the outside… and after time, that mask became my identity… I could finally see myself as “beautiful”, according to society’s standards anyway. Once I started wearing makeup, I never left the house without it. It became my safety blanket.

So deep down, I really didn’t feel authentically beautiful, no matter how much makeup I had on or how many compliments I would get on my appearance.  Deep down, I had a dark secret that no one else knew about… my secret was that I was still “ugly” underneath it all.

Over the years, I’ve been able to love and accept more and more of who I am, recognizing and honoring the unique expression of the Divine that is me… including different aspects of my appearance, personality, and core feelings of worthiness.

But it wasn’t until last month that I had one of the most liberating and transformative experiences of really discovering my true beauty like I never had before…

I went to a 5 day retreat up in the beautiful forests of Northern California.  And when I arrived at the retreat, I was asked to give my cell phone, car keys, and makeup to the retreat leader for the entire 5 days!  

At first I was really nervous and even upset… I was being asked to do one of THE most vulnerable things I could do at that time… not wear makeup for an entire 5 days and really face one of my biggest insecurities. But deep down, I was so GRATEFUL… I knew this was exactly the experience my soul had been asking for.

Now, I understand that for you, this may not seem like a big deal at all… but for me, it was extremely challenging.  I really started to see how much of my sense of self was still wrapped up in my outer appearance. Even though I had done so much deep inner work on other things throughout my life, this seemingly “superficial” challenge really stung at my core.

When I first took the makeup off, a part of me was still hiding energetically… not wanting to fully be seen out of fear of not being accepted. But I saw that this fear was only there because I had not fully come to love and accept myself.

I allowed myself to feel all of the self judgment, the self condemnation, and the pain I was hiding inside about feeling ugly.  And then, I consciously decided that I was going to make peace with myself… that I was going to fully love and accept myself just as Creator made me.  

I shared my vulnerability with the other people at the retreat, and even broke down crying in front of them.  I let my guard down, and set my emotions free… emotions that had been trapped inside since I was a child.

And after the 5 days was over, I felt like I got in touch with my true inner beauty more deeply than I ever had before… a beauty that sparkles and shines so deep inside, beyond any self image I could dream up.  And the liberation I felt from it was life changing.  I had been keeping myself enslaved by holding onto this deep dark secret from my childhood that was something I had completely made up in the first place.

I needed this experience to truly have a breakthrough into deeper self love.  And I’m so grateful for it!  It was one of those lingering “monsters” in the basement that I was finally able to face and set free.

And honestly, I’m not ready to never wear makeup again… In fact, I really do enjoy it. So I still choose to wear it, but it’s from a different place now… Instead of wearing makeup because I feel like I have to, I wear it from a place of loving and honoring myself for who I am. It’s become a ritual of self love rather than a ritual of hiding. It’s been so empowering and liberating!

Thank you so much for listening to my story here today and allowing me to share my vulnerability with you… I’m sharing all of this to show you what’s possible when you face your shadow, those parts of yourself you don’t love and accept, and truly choose to embrace ALL of who you are. It’s such an important and very personal journey for all of us to embark on.

And again, this is the KEY to wholeness… and coming from wholeness is what will allow you to live and experience your true, unbounded potential.

So I encourage you to also go through this process of going deeper into self love.

To keep it simple, here’s what I suggest doing:

1.  Ask yourself:  ”What am I not loving or accepting about myself?  What do I believe about myself that would be so embarrassing or horrifying if anyone found out?  What am I hiding in my shadow?”

2.  Choose one answer (belief) for now and give yourself the time and space to fully FEEL it.  Most likely, you’ve been avoiding feeling the pain, guilt, embarrassment, shame, anger, or fear that’s associated with this belief you have about yourself, so it’s going to take courage to face it… to fully feel the emotions you’ve had locked away for quite some time.  
But you need to allow yourself to fully feel these emotions if you want to move through them, otherwise they’ll stay locked up in the basement, becoming a wall that keeps you from really feeling the love you have inside. Let those tears flow if that’s what’s real for you!

3.  Inquire into what’s really true. Is this belief or judgment you’ve had about yourself really true?  And before your mind jumps in to validate your unworthiness and tell you it’s true… I really suggest reflecting deeply on this.

Take some deep breaths, feel into your body, and consciously get in touch with who you are beyond the physical.  You may even want to close your eyes and visualize being able to see yourself from a bird’s eye view.  When you see and feel the bigger, more expanded YOU, your self judgment will start to naturally fall away. You’ll start to see that any self image you have of yourself is simply an image that you made up in the first place! It’s not who you really are

4.  Embrace, love, and accept ALL of you!  Your judgment about yourself may not be true, but the part of yourself you’ve been judging is still a part of YOU!  So love and embrace it fully!  For example, my self judgment about being ugly without makeup isn’t true… yet I still love and embrace who I am and what I look like, with or without makeup.

So maybe for you there’s something you did in your past that you judge yourself for… and feel guilty over.  You can inquire into the judgments you have about yourself of being a terrible person, etc. etc. until you can see that none of them are true.  Then, choose to fully forgive, love, and embrace all of yourself, even the part you judge.  

You can do this by breathing and feeling into your heart, and allowing your heart to expand with love. Give this love to yourself and especially to that part of yourself you’ve been disowning. I’d even suggest making this a regular practice to really sink into deeper self love and acceptance.

5. This is optional, but HIGHLY recommended… Find someone in your life that you love, trust, and feel safe with and muster up the courage to share this part of your shadow with them. Choose to be vulnerable and you’ll see that it’s your willingness to be vulnerable that truly helps set you free.

In sharing this with another, the belief you’ve had about yourself loses its power… and in turn, you also help the person you’re sharing with heal as well. This is because we’re all human, and we can all relate to each other through our humanness… so even though we all have different life experiences, beliefs, and insecurities on the surface, deep down, they all have the same roots.

So in choosing to be vulnerable, you give your loved one permission to do the same And the ripple effect of embracing true self love and acceptance will grow and expand, reaching more and more people. This kind of deep emotional sharing and healing is just one of the many powerful possibilities of coming together in community.

When we stop fragmenting ourselves and choose to fully love and accept ourselves ALWAYS and ALL-WAYS, we embrace our wholeness, our greatness. And we start to experience the depth, beauty, and magnificence of who we really are, beyond any self image we can ever conceive of.

Imagine that you are like a prism… when you refuse to accept all of your many sides, the aspects of yourself you don’t accept will build up layers of dirt.  And when you shine a light through a dirty prism, you’ll get a fragmented, incomplete rainbow on the other side.

But when you choose to go into your shadow with courage (into your inner basement) and look at those sides to yourself you haven’t been accepting, choosing to fully embrace all of who you are… you become bright, shiny, and complete again.

Then, when the light of life shines through, you’re able to reflect a magnificent, whole, and beautiful rainbow.  This is who you are, your true greatness.  And it’s your birthright to be ALL of you!

And the more we embrace our wholeness, the more we able to love and accept others for who they are. We start to discover as well that our wholeness actually INCLUDES the other. We are all intimately interconnected… and in healing the walls of separation within ourselves, we also help to heal the walls of separation in the world.

I hope this post was impactful for you today. Truly reflect on it, let it sink in, and make the commitment here and now to always love and accept who you are. Again, it’s the most loving thing you can do for yourself, for others, and the world!

Ciao for now! Talk to you again very soon…

Happy 2012!  It’s that time of year again… where we have the opportunity to create a fresh new start for a fresh new year!

Rather than setting unrealistic goals or new years resolutions that almost never make it into February… I’m inviting you to join me today in a journaling exercise to help bring true clarity and power to your intentions for 2012. 

As I was doing my own preparations for the New Year, there were 3 questions that came to mind… and instead of answering them privately in my journal, I’ve decided to share my answers here with you.  As you read this post here today, I encourage you think about your own answers… and then share them in the comment box down below.  This way, we’ll inspire each other to go deeper and think bigger! And of course, putting things in writing helps to clarify your thoughts and “make real” your intentions.  Plus, it’s gonna be a lot of fun!

Ok, so let’s get started…

Question #1:  In reflecting on this last year, what am I truly grateful for?

Expressing gratitude is so important for so many reasons… it gets you into your heart, focuses your attention on the positive, and opens the door to creating even more positive, loving, and fulfilling life experiences.  It’s so true that you get what you look for… so the more you look for the blessings in life, the more blessed your life will become! 

For me, 2011 was definitely a year of major growth… Even though I experienced challenges in my relationships, in my business, and in moving through old patterns and insecurities, I’m so grateful for ALL of it.  I learned so much about myself this year, becoming even more aware of who I really am and what I truly want in life.  Each challenge was a wake up call to look deeper, become more authentically connected, and make choices that are in full alignment with my inner truth.

And of course, I’m incredibly grateful for the successes I’ve had this year, both personally and professionally.  With the launch of “CASH IN ON YOU” over the summer, I broke my record for my most successful product launch yet.

I’m also so grateful for the beautiful friends I have in my life, for my family, and for all of the people I’ve connected with over this last year.  I’ve learned so much about what being in “true relationship” means and have become more aware of the multitude of blessings that are present within each relationship, each connection… whether it’s someone I meet in a café and only talk to for 20 minutes, or a friend I’ve known for years.

I’m so grateful for YOU… and for all of the people I’ve been able to reach through the incredible power of the Internet.  Thank you for reading my posts, watching my videos, opening my emails, and staying committed to your own personal and professional development.  This next year is going to be EPIC… and I can’t wait to share more about my new plans for 2012!

In August of this year, I got the opportunity to travel to Ecuador and into the heart of the Amazon rainforest.  That trip changed my life… and I’m in such gratitude for every moment of it.  I felt a deep, cellular connection to the Earth and to Mother Nature unlike anything I’ve experienced before.  It opened my heart, fueled my spirit, and connected me to a deeper part of my life’s purpose that I wasn’t even aware of before.  There’s definitely more to come about this!

In October, I moved out of my place in San Diego, put all of my stuff in storage, and decided to embark on a spiritual, solo journey throughout Bali, Malaysia, Australia… and now possibly New Zealand and Hawaii.  As I’m writing this, I’m currently on a plane from Perth (Western Australia) to Sydney to celebrate the New Year with some Aussie friends of mine.  This trip has been absolutely life changing as well… and I’m so incredibly grateful for having the opportunity to make a dream like this come true.

I feel like I’m in the process of transforming from a caterpillar to a butterfly… and this year has been the “cocoon”, the catalyst, for my biggest life transformation yet!  Thank you, thank you, thank you Spirit!  What a blessing 2011 has been!

Question #2:  In reflecting on this last year, what am I consciously letting go of?

This question is going to require some deep self-reflection and honesty… Most people are unhappy or unsatisfied with aspects of themselves or their lives, but will avoid taking responsibility for it… or they’ll pretend it’s not there and continue on living in old patterns and habits that they know deep down are not in alignment.

It’s so important to take a good look at ourselves and the lives we’re creating, objectively observe what’s working and what’s not without judgment or criticism, and take responsibility for all of it.  We can’t change what we aren’t willing to see.  And when we take full responsibility, without blaming or justifying, we empower ourselves to become the “change-makers” of our own lives.  In choosing to let go of what’s no longer working or serving us, we clear out the “static”, hit the re-set button, and make space for what we DO want to make it’s way through.

For me, I’ve become aware of old self-sabotaging habits that I’m now choosing to consciously let go of.  For starters, I have an old childhood habit of being quite messy and unorganized, even though I feel SO much better when my life and everything in it is in order.  So, instead of letting things pile up to the point of frustration and then judging myself for it, I’m choosing to let go of this old pattern and committing to being organized.

This past year, I’ve also become more keenly aware of those moments in life where I’m being “hard on myself”.  This comes from self judgment and comparing myself to an expectation of how I think I “should” be.  So when I notice this old habit arising, I’m committed to loving and accepting myself unconditionally… and turning self-defeating thoughts into self-affirming ones.  I truly feel that one of the most powerful things we can do for ourselves in life is “have our own back”.   Just like you would unconditionally support a child or a best friend, it’s so important to do the same thing for ourselves!

I’m also choosing to let go of the old habit of “over-thinking” decisions.  Often, I’ll think and re-think and analyze and re-analyze to the point of exhaustion.  And I know that clearly, over-thinking thoughts is NOT the way to clarity!  So I’m choosing to let go of this old habit and committing to listening to my FEELINGS instead, especially when it comes to making decisions.  When I do tune in to my body, and follow my feelings, that’s when true wisdom and clarity emerges, and I’m in a state of flow rather than struggle. 

Question #3:  Who am I committed to being in 2012?

Although I do believe goal setting is important, I also know that there’s something even more important that actually determines whether or not we even meet our goals… and that’s our way of being.   It’s who we are choosing to be, and how we show up, in each and every moment, that matters.

You could have a “goal” of making a 5 figure monthly income this year… but if you shy away from challenges and don’t muster up the courage to go where it’s uncomfortable, you’re unlikely to ever make that goal a reality.  You’ve got to commit and re-commit to being courageous again and again in order to be the successful entrepreneur you want to be.

So for me, I’m definitely committed to being courageous without hesitation, especially when it comes to doing things I’ve never done before.  This next year, I’m going to be walking down a new path in many ways… so in maintaining my commitment to being courageous, I know that not only will I reach my goals much faster, but I’ll also be liberating myself from old fears along the way.

I’m also committed to being an inspired action taker.  I love to journal, I love to come up with ideas, I love to envision, to dream, to see possibilities… but unless all of that is balanced with action, it won’t come to fruition and create the impact that I know is possible.  So I’m committed to being in balance as an “inspired action taker”… taking time everyday to stay connected and inspired AND taking action steps everyday to bring my ideas and visions into manifestation.

I’m also committed to being non-judgmental and compassionate.  I know that when I judge others, it’s really just a projection of something “unresolved” within myself that I still judge.  So in choosing to be non-judgmental to myself, I’m naturally non-judgmental with others, and vice versa.  When I choose non-judgment, I’m able to see the truth more clearly… and the underlying innocence and beauty that lives at the core of every human being, no matter what they are saying or doing.  In seeing people for who they really are, compassion arises naturally… and then, not only do I feel more connected, but I’m giving the gift of true connection to others as well.

Well, there you have it!  This is my New Years journal entry for creating a prosperous and fulfilling 2012.  Now it’s your turn!  In the comment box down below, I encourage you to write at least one answer for each question.  I’d LOVE to hear from you and I know that others who are reading this post would love to as well!   Let’s make this a community-inspired exercise and share our commitments with each other for clarity, accountability, and support.  And remember, when you write things down, they solidify and become real!

When you’re done leaving a comment, please take a few seconds and share this post with your friends on Facebook and Twitter.  Let’s get them in on this! 

Thanks so much for spending this time with me here today!  Happy New Year!  Let’s make this the most MAGICAL year yet!

Love and light,

Story telling is truly at the CORE of our human experience… the stories we tell create and shape our world.

As young children, we LOVE having our parents or teachers tell us stories… When we’re watching a movie or reading a novel, it’s the power of the story that touches, moves, or inspires us.  And if you think about it, everyone and everything has a story to tell…

The universe has it’s infinite stories of creation.  Every single person has their unique life stories that make up who they are today.  Art, dance, music, and every other creative expression has a story behind it.

And as an entrepreneur, whether you are writing, speaking, or simply having a conversation with a friend or business partner, story telling is an ESSENTIAL ingredient to powerful communication.  If you look at the most successful speakers and writers that exist in our world, for the most part, they are all amazing story tellers.

It’s your stories that set you apart.  It’s your stories that captivate your audience.  And it’s your stories that convey and illustrate your message more powerfully than anything else. So as you can see, it’s incredibly important to develop the skill of story telling if you want to create a successful online business.

While attending the “Inspiring Speaker” workshop in San Francisco, I learned all about story telling from a few different master story tellers.  And there were 3 key tips that really stood out for me and have already greatly improved my story telling abilities!

So click play on the video down below and learn these 3 powerful tips to becoming a more engaging story teller…

There’s one question that alone has the power to transform your life and business, fuel you through any challenges, give you the drive and motivation to create results above and beyond what’s “average”, and empower you to become truly extraordinary…

It’s the simple, yet profound question of asking yourself:  WHY?

“Why am I here?”,  ”why am I on this planet?”, “why am I building a business?”, “why do I get up in the morning?”

Having a strong connection to your “why” will do more for your empowerment, motivation, results, and success than just about anything else.  It will inspire you to take action even when you don’t feel like it, it’ll give you the strength to move through challenging situations and emotions, it’ll fuel your passion and spark everything you create with the fire of enthusiasm…

And ultimately, it’ll help you find true fulfillment with your life and your business.  What more can you ask for?

I made a video for you today where I share more about this important aspect of self-discovery, and what it means to live from the power of “why”… So click “play” now down below to watch it:

So… what’s your why?  PLEASE share it down below with us!  You’ll be helping to inspire and encourage other entrepreneurs out there to also clarify theirs! Thank you so much for spending time with me here today!  I appreciate you and all of the many gifts that you share!

Oh, and please share this post on Facebook and Twitter to help spread the word! Thank you!!

To the realization of your “why”,
