and get caught in the fear that no one would show up??

Well it’s been a wyld summer here – I’ve been really working quite a bit on the 6 Figure Speakers Summit – my team has done an amazing job of putting together all the stuff that needed to happen behind the scenes for an event like this and we’re down to the final day before the event is supposed to start.  I have attracted over 100 Divine Partners to help me promote the event and for some reason – up until now – there has been VERY LITTLE RESPONSE in the market.

Now part of this may be attributable to the fact that Mercury has been in retrograde for the last 3 weeks or so – making communications of all sorts challenging.  Part of it may be that I just don’t know how to do this sort of thing (having never done one of these before) and perhaps I’ve gone about it in all the wrong ways.  Part of it may be the nature of the beast and the nature of the times – whereby everybody decides on this sort of thing at the last minute and I’m just being asked by the Universe to be PATIENT.

I’ve got to share with you that I’ve had second thoughts more than once as I’ve moved through this process.  “Are we going to have enough time? Are we doing this, that or the other thing the right way? even Should we cancel? ”  I’ve gone through a big rollercoaster of emotion about it too – an event like this takes a lot of creative thinking, planning, meeting, strategizing, juggling, bugging of people, organizing and executing – it looks like it’s a piece of cake from the outside but behind the scenes things can get quite hairy at times.

I’m also someone who likes to do things well.  I enjoy creating beauty, I enjoy sharing wisdom, and I like making sure that the I’ve done all that I can to create successful and transformational experiences for people.   When I got the idea for this I knew it would be big – I knew it would stretch me – I knew that I was taking a risk.  I also knew that this would be an amazing learning experience – for myself, for the people who HAVE chosen to join us by enrolling in the event and for my team who have been simply brilliant at working with me on this (kudos to BSETC – especially Melissa Sullivan my project manager who has done more jumping through hoops while also providing moral support to me than you can imagine).

There has also been an investment – not just of the hours involved to create something like this – but also in money.  Not all of us are skilled in all aspects of online – virtual entrepreneurship – there’s NO way I could have created this without spending quite a bit – not just for my behind the scenes team but also with MaryPat Kavanaugh of Strategic Results Marketing who has been managing my JV (speaker) partnership agreements.  MaryPat has been a huge player in helping this event to come to fruition, she’s a real pro at creating positive and powerful relationships and then managing them with the greatest of ease and grace when things don’t go exactly as agreed.   She’s been like a rock through the whole summer – and this while moving through a lot of her own personal transformation as her marriage has dissolved during this time as well.

The other investment that I made was in what one of my mentors Nancy Marmolejo (who was with me in the dreamtime last night by the way) would call “Social Capital”  – I called upon all of the relationships that I’ve built with the professionals and experts that I gathered together to present at this event.  I asked them to come and share their brilliance and they all said “of course” – basing their agreements I’m sure in part on the expectation that there would be a sizeable gathering of people to receive their combined wisdom – our goal of 500 – or more!

I also believe that this event has GREAT value to offer – I myself have invested well over 6 figures for training amongst many of the leaders who I’ve gathered to present at this event  – they are the cream of the crop and will be bringing their all to the party for sure – because they are all PROS.  I wanted to give back to them for helping me to make the radical changes in my life and business that needed to happen in order for me to have a business that was not only serving but serving successfully and sustainably.  I believe that my time, my investment of energy is valuable too – and this event is making that statement because I AM charging an enrollment fee for it – and one that I think is quite reasonable given the caliber of the folks who are lined up to speak and the interactive nature of the  live forum.  To get 20 of the top conscious entrepreneurs who are speaking today gathered together in one event for only $10 each – $200.00 is a bargain!

Now what…. The doors are opening for the event tomorrow at 4 PM.  I’ve made the decision that I’m going to show up – whole heartedly and perform to the best of my ability – even if we didn’t make our audacious goal of 500 attendees – even though at this point in the game we haven’t even come close to that.

Because that’s what you do when you are committed to your dreams. You show up.  You do your best.  You learn your lessons. You have the best time you can.  You look at what your next steps are. You remember that the relationships you create have value.  You remember not to judge yourself or anyone else harshly.  You have compassion.  You accept what is.  You harvest every nugget of wisdom you can.  You share that freely with the world.

Oh and one more thing…. You BELIEVE in Miracles!  There is still time for this event to come together in a big way – tomorrow night at 4 PM is the Opening Ceremonies call with my Platinum Mastermind Mentor Lisa Sasevich.  Visit the info/sales page for this event to find out more about how you can join us at www.6figurespeakerssummit.com
Would love to have you join us….. The Only thing Missing at the moment is YOU!

Love and infinite blessings of light,

We can’t wait to see your VIDEOS!!

I’ve had an interesting week on Facebook this week – (Mercury Retrograde – I do love the little and large challenges you throw into the mix to see just how relaxed I can stay!) - early in the week  I was kicked off because someone on the other side of the country is helping me with the social media campaign for my 6 Figure Speakers Summit (http://www.budurl.com/6figspk) and Facebook didn’t like that – oh no – not at all – so because the system saw this “foreign” IP as a security threat to my account it shut the account down. The VA had to contact me to get my birthday – but that wasn’t enough – later that day when I logged in I couldn’t. I had to go through this interesting security check which required me to identify several of my friends – now the friend pictures ARE NOT their profile pictures – and they gave me sometimes one or sometimes two pictures – I had to id a certain number within a certain sequence of being presented these pix. I was fine until I came upon a picture of someone in black and white from the 50’s – GOD knows who it was and wasn’t sharing with me at the moment. So I got blocked and had to wait a couple of hours to try again….. Try again I did and thankfully was able to id several – enough that FB let me in.

Then yesterday I got blocked AGAIN – this time ostensibly because I had unleashed some sort of a virus into my account – by opening a video – however when I went to the security check – this time I was asked to virus scan my computer and there was NOTHING wrong on my end. Even though I virus scanned and checked the little box confirming that I STILL couldn’t get in. So I’ve waited overnight until this morning to try once more.

Hey there friend - How's the grazing today?

This morning I got through the virus thing but then had to once more do the Identify your friends picture thing. You need to be able to id 5 of 7 of your friends – now I have close to 4000 so there’s a whole bunch of friends for fb to choose from…… This morning 2 of the 7 were – the black and white picture from the 50’s again and get this one – a picture of a HORSE – no lie – there was a picture of a horse – twice on the page and I had a list of like 7 names to choose from that would be the friend that was the HORSE. Thank GOD I could id 5 of the 7 because if I not I’d still be wandering outside facebook not even being able to look in……

Hey Patrick - Break A Leg!

The moral of this story is – KNOW YOUR FRIENDS – not just their profile pics but actually WHO They are and the sorts of things they are interested in – One of the pic selections I got happened to be 2 different shots of one of my friends (and a SPEAKER on my 6 Figure Speakers Summit (http://www.budurl.com/6figspk) Patrick Combs. So the pictures didn’t actually SHOW Patrick’s face AT all – one picture was of a bunch of people on a stage with MASKS ON!! The other picture – thankfully was a shot of a POSTER for Patrick’s One Man show – Man 1 Bank Zero. Thank God I didn’t get a sheep or cow or goat or something instead of the poster!

The second moral of the story is this: If you are promoting, launching, marketing some big event like I am right now (The 6 Figure Speakers Summit) – you better have friends who can get into Facebook to help you promote it – which is why I simultaneously launched my Divine Partners Program (http://www.budurl.com/6figaff) and have over 100 affiliates promoting the event and that you better NOT put all your eggs in one promotional basket – which is why I’m holding THREE Preview calls – (we already had call one – if you want the recording go to http://www.budurl.com/6figpc1 – our second is TODAY August 26 at 11 AM  – http://www.budurl.com/6figpc2) and it’s also why I’m doing blog posts, sending out tweets, and posting in other places like Linked-In and am using a variety of media including video which is being distributed to over a hundred video outlets so that I am not depending on Facebook to be the sole marketing engine for my launch!

The third moral of the story is this: If things go sideways it’s an opportunity!! An opportunity for you to take a deep breath, trust, another deep breath, trust, another deep breath, trust and then see where you CAN do something. Wallowing in what you are NOT able to do serves no one – getting yourself together, centered, clear, calm, relaxed, balanced and present will allow you to see the opportunity and capitalize upon what you CAN do. Like this morning – I’m celebrating that I CAN get in to facebook because I DO Know who my friends are – and I can also SHARE this wisdom with YOU!!

Thanks for reading!! Let’s get to know each other EVEN better…..

Love and light, Amethyst

PS: Who are you friend with a HORSE???

PPS:  Spirit Always gives us SOMETHING to work with – even when things seem dire!!

I’ve been back  for over a month now from Lisa Sasevich’s Speak to Sell Bootcamp and let me tell you what – I’ve received some pretty powerful shifts in awareness from being there. 

Not only did I discover that I needed to do my OWN WORK of shifting energy to get UNSTUCK from my own resistance to applying the teachings that Lisa so Masterfully conveys and models consistently every time I have the opportunity to witness her delivering her blessing, but I also was invited to “SEE” where I am now in relationship to where I was a year ago!

One of the things that Lisa invited us to do was to create a bio for speaking – and in the crafting of that bio she encouraged us to be both authentic and unabashedly promote ourselves so that we can in fact be SEEN as the EXPERTS that we ARE!

The beauty of this little exercise for me was that I actually was able to recognize and realize that I have done A LOT of great stuff in the last year.  I was able to SEE just how many wonderful people that I have shared the stage with and to recognize that I’m actually UP THERE WITH THEM – and not still down in the audience wishing, hoping and visioning!  I actually got to SEE that I have moved – Powerfully so – into my own vision!

When I sat down to review the past year I discovered much to my surprise and delight that I have “shared the stage” with some of the biggest experts in both the conscious entrepreneurship and internet based marketing arena as well as in the alternative healing and consciousness raising new thought arena.  When I took a look at the list I had to stop and catch my breath for a minute and say WOW!  I mean REALLY – WOW! (check out the list below!)

As someone who believes fully in the joy being in the journey I think that sometimes we get caught up in the mechanics of the journey part and might miss those all important stopping points along the path that allow us to celebrate our accomplishments, to rest, to restore our energy for the next leg, and to reconnect with either our original vision or with Spirit to check in to see if the vision has been updated and upgraded.

Thanks Lisa for helping me to Get Perspective – as one who SEES myself I often am in the position with my clients to help them to reveal those things within their own business where they are either stuck or hung up thinking that they can’t change, let go or move onto a new venture or playing field.  Part of what I help my clients with is teaching them to keep SCORE in their business.  I use my signature SCORE System which is taught in the Core Path Intensive to lead them through a variety of Power Point Practices that not only help to clear the fear but that they can also integrate into their own routines so that when another paralyzing challenge comes along they have the tools in their tool box to at least begin the process of handling any fears that may arise.  Keeping SCORE is the way that we can determine whether or not we are succeeding against the goals that we have set for ourselves both at the physical and the spiritual levels.  Because the SCORE system is both deeply intuitive as well as highly structured my clients are able to achieve astonishing results and enjoy their own Spiritual Energized Entrepreneurial Success.

This fall I‘m planning a big tele-event which you’ll be hearing more about shortly – If you are stuck in the conversations or communications aspects of any area of your business this event is packed with powerful mentors and teachers that will be delivering outstanding training and coaching as well as offering opportunities to go deeper with them.   Be sure to look in the blog for more details as the summer wanes.

After my event is concluded, I do intend to take on new clients again for another Energy Journey through the Core Path Intensive – which is delivered in a small group format – I am very choosy about who I work with – my clients must be invested in every way in their desire to be of service through their own work and so I have a very thorough vetting process to ensure not only a high degree of success but also a high caliber of peers with whom to share the journey.  I have found in my own journey that when you aspire to something it’s important to seek out those mentors and peer groups that will grow you rather than be content to leave you sitting in your comfort zone of “everything’s fine” mediocrity.  I welcome your application if this type of group work is of interest and if you feel you are ready to take your game and your business to the next level.  Please fill out the application HERE and one of our team members will contact you to initiate the vetting process.

(SUBTITLE – JUMPING FOR JOY!)

I’m just back and finally re-aligned with the home/office environment following an almost 2 week journey to the southwest that was filled with transformation, synchronicity and a calling to go deeper, look wider and play bigger.  The sign above was in the airport on my way out of town back in mid January – too funny how prophetic it was for me!

Part one of my trip was spent in Las Vegas in the Love Your Clients, Love Your Business, Love Your Life event with Kevin Nations. There I was able to connect and play with many soul family members and I was called to really take a flying leap of faith and invest – HEAVILY – in myself and my business – becoming a DIAMOND Mastermind Client in Kevin’s Love Mastermind 2010. I’ll be deeply engaged in the process and practice of learning how to care for myself so much better, to serve my clients with much greater abandon and to craft and create experiences for both myself and my clients that are deeply, powerfully and passionately transformative. I’m really ready to soar now and I think that this little investment in myself and my business is going to provide the ROCKET FUEL for taking off in a big way. Since our thoughts create our reality – staying focused on that thought is going to be a powerful tool for me to work with in the coming months when the fear storms and panic parties decide to make a visit!

During the second half of my adventure (the Sassy Mastermind with Lisa Sasevich – held in Tucson at Miraval Spa & Resort) I was called to make another LEAP – this time quite literally off of a 35 foot pole atop which was a teeny tiny platform that was 1′ x 2′ in area. My partner for that little step up was Lisa Cherney of Stand Out and Be Juicy Fame – she and I were required to go towards the end in our small group – mostly because we normally are the type to just GO FOR IT.   This was really powerful in a number of ways – it allowed those who would normally “stand back” “wait it out” “watch to see what happens” and then “maybe I’ll do it after someone else goes” people to step up and become empowered.  It was truly magical to watch the first woman Helen get up there – all the time saying “I can’t do this – I can’t” and then coaching herself right out of it and saying LOUDLY for all to hear – I CAN yes I CAN do this! I CAN!  I’m DOING it I CAN!!  Amazing.  Here’s the video of my Jump for Joy!  Why? Because LEADERS Leap!!

So what’s all this got to do with joy and the title of my post?  Well one of the exercises in the mastermind was a process of finding the words to describe the benefits of our work.  This is an area that I’ve been really working hard at crystallizing for myself over the last several months.  Words are the bridges that we use to reach out and touch those who are waiting to find the great work that will transform their lives and bring them to a higher level of awareness and understanding of their true purpose and greatness. With out the words to create that bridge it’s pretty challenging to illuminate a path that might be useful for those people to take and what has been doubly frustrating for me has been the fact that I am constantly told how gifted I am with my writing.

Lisa Cherney & Me before the Quantum Leap!

The thing about writing to engage folks in a conversation that ultimately leads to an engagement for services is that it is a wildly different animal then writing to share, to educate or to inspire (although all of those aspects are also included in the best of sales writing).  Creating an E- emotional connection is a powerful force to help activate people into making the decision to engage which is the first step on the transformational journey that EVERYONE must make on their own.  When writing the marketing/sales materials – our work is to create clarity and connection that will allow the reader to see themselves in the words – where they are RIGHT NOW – as well as to identify that this particular type of transformative work will take them where they REALLY WANT TO BE  – at least to the extent that it gets them on the phone to have a deeper dialog or helps them to decide to enroll in this or that teleclass, workshop or experience.

Again what does that have to do with the title of this post?  Well in my small group on the night that we were exploring the marketing component of our business and trying to get at the language that describes our benefits – one of the words that kept coming through for me and for one of my other partners in the group was joy.

So here was the exercise:  Pick just ONE benefit of your services – I picked “This work will help you learn to set and maintain clear boundaries”.  The next step was for us to talk about what the benefit of that benefit was – so the question that our other team members were asked to ask us was “What’s the benefit of that?” several times – and each time we had to go deeper and deeper into the benefit of the benefit.  One of the team members was the scribe and here’s what he wrote for me:

“This work will help you learn to set and maintain clear boundaries” – What’s the benefit of that?

“You’ll have greater empowerment around decisions” – What’s the benefit of that?

“When u can set boundaries clearly, your energy doesn’t get drained” – What’s the benefit of that?

“If you lose your energy, you’re aren’t able to make a powerful decision” – What’s the benefit of that?

“You’re able to be in your energetic integrity, your not losing your power when you set your boundaries” – What’s the benefit of that?

“You are able to make decisions and interact with people from a place of fullness, you’re really in your power” – What’s the benefit of that?

“You have a sense of fullness, you feel whole.  – you don’t feel torn in a lot of different directions you feel more full” – What’s the benefit of that?

“When you feel full you are able to serve at the highest level” – What’s the benefit of that?

“When you serve at the highest level you are living your purpose” – What’s the benefit of that?

“If you are living your purpose, you come into a place of joy”

I was really JOYOUS when I walked into Miraval and was greeted by a Butterfly Amethyst!

At that point my time was up – and I had landed at the NEBULOUS place – that place called JOY.  There is an energy and a vibration that JOY holds – that if you haven’t experienced it yourself can be quite difficult to describe – there are some things that are beyond words, joy is one of them.  It’s kind of like trying to describe to someone what it’s like to be a parent when they’ve never had a child – virtually impossible.   However just because it’s difficult to describe DOES NOT mean that it’s impossible to attain.  In fact the place of joy is a very real and tangible place on the spectrum of vibrations and it’s something that can not only be reached but cultivated.

One of the most heart opening and transformational teachers whose work facilitated my own transformation to a space where I can and regularly do access joy is Marianne Williamson – in her book A Return To Love – I found permission to love myself enough to end my first marriage and I credit Marianne’s wisdom and guidance accessed through her writings with setting me firmly on my path to awakening.  In fact I still have her books on my shelf and I’ve got a perpetual calendar on my kitchen counter that I go to every day for a dose of Marianne’s wisdom and inspiration – today’s is so appropriate to this blog post that I want to share it with you all:

“Joy is our goal, our destiny.  We cannot know who we are except  in joy.  Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves.  When we are without joy, we grope in the dark.  When we are without joy, we grope in the dark.  When we are centered in joy, we attain our wisdom.”  (Marianne Williamson from her perpetual calendar A Year of Daily Wisdom)

Are you searching for the joy in your life?  Do you often wonder – where has all the joy gone? Do you ever think – I’m working so hard and I just can’t seem to get out of my own way? Maybe you’ve said to yourself  “I wonder what’s wrong with me – Why does the Law of Attraction work for everyone but me?” Perhaps you’ve struggled with setting clear boundaries yourself – maybe you’ve thought “I just wish everyone would leave me alone so I can get stuff done and create what I want without interruption”  Perhaps you are challenged with decision making – thinking or feeling like you are never quite sure whether you’ve made the right choice about anything in your life or business.  If you’ve had any of these questions  or thoughts come up for you it might be time for you to do something about it – I’d love the chance to offer you a Personal Energy Assessment or if you are an entrepreneur we could do a Business Energy Evaluation Session.   Please contact my team at team@amethystwyldfyre.com or click on the tab above that says SOS Application Form and fill out the short questionnaire that will give us some additional information about you that will aid in our work together.  I look forward to serving you as you make YOUR leap into a joyous experience of life & work!

Recently I wrote a pretty extensive post about a shamanic ceremonial weekend that I engaged in during a brilliant weekend in October in New York.  As a shaman, a woman of medicine and a wounded healer I am constantly attending to and honing my own Spirit in addition to adding additional “tools” into my toolbox so that I may continue to enhance my abilities to be of service to those who are called to engage in their own deep inner work with me.

One of the things that has evolved for me over the past year is a clarification of exactly whom it is I am here to serve at this time – Evolving Entrepreneurs – like me – in the areas of interest that I myself have explored over the last several years – transformational coach/trainers, artists, speakers, performers, authors, and practitioners in the alternative healing arts.

In order to serve this segment of the marketplace and to further enhance and enrich my abilities as an evolving entrepreneur myself I’ve also taken to “honing my Spirit” in the area of entrepreneurship and to exploring those areas within my own business that I desire to strengthen and improve.  In the incredibly fast paced world we live in and in the arena of Internet marketing where I have chosen to engage in order to spread my message and share my services I’ve discovered there are LOTS of areas of learning that have come up for me to enroll in!

Over the past year (2009) I’ve explored Perfect Platform building with the multi-talented and undisputed expert of creating a solid foundation and web based presence Read the rest of this entry »

Tried to upload Day 16 video THREE times – ok!  I won’t push the river – it was a little shot of what I had packed for my road trip to Phoenix – my protein powder, paleo fiber, supplements etc. — Letting it go – if I can upload it later and get the thing to work for me I’ll edit this post and include it later!

So on to day 17 – had lunch with the lovely Lisa Cherney and the Magnificent Michele PW!  We enjoyed getting time together at the Evolve Live event where we were all speaking to the group that was gathered- here we are after lunch talking about dessert and Lisa’s success on JJ’s program!

 

 

Day 18 – ready and waiting to go on stage to speak – energized and grounded because I’m supporting my physical body with proper nutrition, exercise and rest on the advice of JJ Virgin! (slightly challenged with being able to make good healthy choices eating on the road….)

 

 

I’ve just returned from a magnificent journey to Phoenix for the EVOLVE Live Event that was created and dreamed into being by Marcia Bench of  Purposeful Entrepreneur.   The gathering of purpose based entrepreneurs in varying stages business creation and operation combined with the energies of the amazing location served to create a magical and alchemical crucible for some profound shifts for all of the participants – presenters included!

Marcia onstage with some of her Success Story Clients (And a BUNCH Of Orbs!)

The Buttes Marriott Resort in Tempe was the setting for our work – nestled into the heart of a butte – the hotel was just extraordinary and truly deserving of it’s 5 star status.  The service by the hotel staff was nothing short of perfection – every detail was attended to with open hearted enthusiasm and a desire to serve.

Our first day was dedicated to personal evolution.  The event was off to an interesting and energy shifting start with the opening of sacred space which I facilitated and which I’m sure was something of a surprise for the attendees what with my rattling and spraying camay all over the room to each of the directions, Mama Earth and Father Sky.  Then we were treated to the musical talents of the spiritually gifted singer songwriter Charlie Thweatt who was accompanied on one song by Marcia herself.  The day proceeded into a series of explorations for the attendees around those stories stored in their bodies that were keeping them from moving forward in their business or life that were facilitated by Dr. Kirk Prine and his partner Donny Lobree

We closed the day out with an evening Despacho ceremony that I had the honor of leading/facilitating which powerfully wove energetic threads of connection between the group and the Earth upon which we were working.  Each attendee was presented with an autumn leaf, a seed, a flower and a branch of evergreen – the leaf symbolizing that which is dying within them or their business, the seed representing that which is unborn and waiting to germinate, the flower representing the beauty and fragrance already created and needing to be acknowledged and celebrated and finally the evergreen to represent that which is eternal.    All the participants prayed into each of their offerings, using the breath to transmit their intentions and the offerings were laid over a circle of sacred sage for purification and then all tied together in a plain paper bundle.   Everyone was cleansed with the bundle and then we were treated to a bedtime story – The Waif Bunny read to us by the author Donny Lobree.

Lovely Lisa!! What a Million Dollar Smile!

Day 2 was all about evolving the business and in addition to the incredibly rich content provided by Marcia we were also treated to the Juicy Lisa Cherney who presented her speech about Magnetic Marketing and her Stand UP and BE JUICY program.  I was so inspired by her words and work that I signed up myself – I’m all about JUICY!!  At lunch time I was called to make the offering of the despacho to the land – we didn’t have permission to have a fire ceremony so I went to the front desk and asked if it was possible to get a shovel (can you imagine that??!! Here I am at a 5 star resort asking for a shovel!!) The front desk staff was incredibly accommodating after I explained that we’d created a blessing bundle to bless the land and all the people who were connected with it.   They called the head of the landscaping department and he came right to my room with me to get the despacho.  After a lovely talk it was clear to me that this man (who’d only been with the hotel 2 weeks) was the perfect steward to take our blessed bundle and find the EXACT perfect spot on the land to bury this gift to the Pachamama – as I handed over the bundle after giving him the burial instructions and a blessing too I noticed his name – How Perfect!! – right there on his breast pocket – Rafael!! (Now if you can’t trust a blessing bundle to the Archangel Raphael – Archangel of Healing – then who can you trust!)

Later that day we were treated to a much too brief presentation by my new friend Michele

Michele PW Doing what she does BEST!! Writing!!

PW – she’s the QUEEN of Copywriting and is the writer who has been responsible for multiple six figure product launches for some of the biggest names in the internet marketing/coaching/transformational training industry.  A lightworker with words she’s almost single handedly shifted the copywriting communications away from the hard sell of old to the new paradigm of selling through connecting rather than commanding.   I had the distinct pleasure of sharing dinner with her that night too!

Day three was our opportunity to contemplate the evolution of our world – Marcia led us on a visionary journey that revealed a path of purposeful entrepreneurship in service to the higher good of all – and with the group gathered there I have NO doubt that the results of our time together will have a significant impact on the new emerging paradigm of conscious entrepreneurship that Marcia (and I) were there to champion.  After lunch and some more musical treats I was granted the opportunity to take the stage – it’s been a long time since I’ve been on a stage to speak – and it was so gratifying to have the opportunity to co-create both a healing experience for the participants as well as financial abundance for myself!

Check out the new POWER NECKLACE the "upstairs team" had waiting for me there!

After getting the peeps up to dance to Drum Sex, a segment of personal story telling, 3 light body sound healings and a group hug I took the last 10 minutes or so to present my new program.  The CORE Path is a small group intensive experience that will commence on December 15 – I was blessed to have several people answer their own CALL to EVOLVE and step forward to engage in the Great Work with me.  I still have a few slots left – I have limited this program to no more than 12 people because the intent is that we are going to go very deep as well as wide with our work – combining energy shifting principals and practices with entrepreneurial/small business operational guidance in order to facilitate the ability for the leaders who commit to this program to LEAP Fearlessly into their next level of service.

What a blessing the entire experience was, for me, for the participants, for the other speakers and presenters and also (of course) for the Spirit of the Land – when I was in the elevator late on the 2nd day – a man got on with me and asked if my bundle was taken care of – I didn’t recognize him and he identified himself as the Director of Sales – I then said yes that the bundle had been well stewarded and the prayers of our whole group were being buried to bless the land – his response??? “That’s great – it’s about time the curse was lifted from this place!”  As I departed I smiled – the ancestors were dancing a happy dance and the land was feeling the love once again.
