Body Soiree

  "You get in life what you have the courage to ask for." Ms. Winfrey I was frustrated.  I was burned out.  It was time to wipe the slate clean. I was scared.  As any entrepreneur knows and understands unless we have clients we don't eat.  Well, I think all business owners know this!  But what if you start to lose the joy you once had?  What if you just aren't attracting the type of clients that actually want change?  It is time to have a sit-down with yourself. Go over what you deem as important to your career. What will make you happy? And what is it that you want exactly?  "Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." Dr. King This is where things get scary.  I sat down with myself after a very disappointing Personal Training session. The questions I asked myself were not easy: 1. Do you still love what you do? 2. If you do, then why are you attracting people that don...

"Stay strong and remember that you are loved." Or be weak and know that you are loved. Cry and know that you are loved.  Be wrong and know that you are loved. And if you have a good friend that speaks the truth to you, straight, no chaser, you really are loved.  The big question is: Do you see the love around you?  Have you ever taken the time to think back and realize that you were never alone?  Those people were placed in your life to love you. The Love is There... We are wired to love. It is our greatest asset as humans. Embrace it! It doesn't make you weak to want love. Wherever love finds you, accept it.  Open yourself to it. I am not talking about romantic love! But...Okay.  This can apply. But this goes so much deeper than that. The love you feel for yourself will be the love you attract. From everyone.  "Love yourself as much as you want to be loved" We focus so much on who doesn't love us, that we miss all who  do . We also ...

"A Man never knows how to say goodbye; a Woman never knows when to say it." My Mama always said that "Women know when we know." And I would ask "Know what?" and she would respond with "Everything." I didn't understand then. I didn't understand a woman's intuition, long-suffering or staying power. The time and love investments we make is phenomenal. Sometimes to our own detriment no doubt. But guilt and regret are wasteful emotions, so we won't go there. I want to focus on our ability as women, my apologies, upper case W please! Our ability as Women to hold it together when the house is burning down around our ears. I want to talk about how we will stay, even when we knew we should have left years ago and threw all manner of red flags out there, and tried to "fix" broken relationships. I want to talk about how we will laugh when we really want to throw ourselves on the floor and have an old-fashioned crying fit. But we...

"Show me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are" Anonymous I am a believer in the Law Of Attraction. I believe that you can, knowingly or unknowingly, attract people or situations into your life. I also believe that old adage: Birds of a feather flock together. So often we ignore this. We don't want to rock the boat and stop hanging with people that we know it isn't in our best interest to kick it with. We don't want to exit from a situation that is toxic because everything else is going so great! We will create excuses or just pass the buck all the way around just so we won't have to confront and be emotionally mature. Are you here? Do you find yourself doing this? Creating excuses for people and their bad behavior(s)?Hanging out with people that you do love, and there isn't anything wrong with loving them, but not really having a good time when you are with them? Wasting time and energy on situations that you know nothing fruitful can gr...
