The Beauty of Bragging
Posted by: | CommentsThis weekend I went to an awesome Bacchus party to celebrate a friend’s birthday. As you may have guessed the wine was flowing freely, and the space was decorated like a Roman villa. There were lots of fine fabric draperies, pillows and low tables for reclining, and a gigantic hearth with a fire blazing. Everyone was dressed in Roman costumes and lounging about. When you walked through the curtains into the main room, you really felt like you were stepping into another place and time. It was awesome. It truly made me appreciate how awesome and amazing my friends are.
A highlight of the party was an amazing Viking custom of doing a bragging circle. This tradition comes from the belief that the Gods give luck to the villages that show themselves worthy. So the people of the village gather together and speak of all of their accomplishments and declare their awesomeness in hope that the Gods will hold them in their favor and shower them with more good fortune.
As you may have guessed, I LOVED this ritual! It was totally Kick-Ass! It represents so much of what I believe in and work with clients around. This piece about recognizing your accomplishments and how awesome you are, and being able to appreciate yourself and bask in the good feelings of it is a big part of creating your Kick-Ass Life.
It’s so important to be able to see the goodness in yourself as well as your life and the people in it. The interesting thing is that this is very hard for most of my clients to do. It is so much easier to praise& appreciate someone else than it is to praise and appreciate yourself.
Do you find that to be true?
When it came my turn to raise the drinking horn, I felt a rush of appreciation and happiness. I was a little nervous at first to be bragging out loud in front of so many people.
Then I got over that!
I proudly declared – “My Life is fucking Kick-Ass! I don’t do anything that I don’t want to do. My life is designed to fit me perfectly!” and as I said these words I felt the truth of them sinking in. It was so powerful to be feeling the depth and truth of my statement. I continued on for a minute or two, talking about all the awesomeness in my life and basking in the amazing feelings of it. Everyone cheered and applauded and added their good energy into the mix.
What powerful magic! I could feel it rippling out into the Universe.
When was the last time you bragged?
I encourage you to gather some friends & family together to create your own bragging circle. If you are feeling nervous- drink some wine, it helps!
Try it out and let me know what happens!
A bit of morning basking
Posted by: | CommentsYesterday was one of those amazing days when I’m really able to feel how Kick-Ass my life is.
I had to go get my car serviced and it required me to venture out onto the rush hour traffic at 7:30 AM , which is something that I rarely do. Traffic was backed up everywhere I went, with people blocking intersections and cutting each other off. (I DO live in Boston, and we’re not known for being nice drivers). It made me think how much it would suck to have to do this every day!
I big wave of appreciation swept over me and I could feel an amazing sense of joy swelling inside of me. I have successfully created my life to honor my ‘Yes’. I don’t have to do anything that I don’t want to do. My life is perfectly designed to suit me. Sometimes I have no idea how I am going to achieve something, or where the money is going to show up from, but it always works out. Every time I get exactly what I need to expand further in to who I really am.
Boy does that feel good!!!
I basked in those good feelings all the way to the Mazda dealership.
You know what?
I can teach YOU how to design your life to be Kick-Ass too.
It’s Time to Amplify! Tell the Universe what you want more of.

The most powerful way to create change and to bring more Kick-Ass & JUICY GOODNESS into your life is to practice appreciation.
When you appreciate anything, you are sending a strong signal to the Universe saying: I want more of this please. It also feels really good to pay attention to the things you like.
Appreciation is a simple thing, but it tends to get lost in our busy day…or gets pushed out the way by a tendency to focus on what we do not like and what is not working.
So, I have created Amplification Friday to encourage you to take a moment out of your day and think about all the yummy, sweet moments from your week.
It can be anything that you want more of…..it does not have to be something nice and sweet…it can be down right dirty…as long at it feels good to you and you want more of it in your life.
It’s really cool to appreciate something about yourself since most people don’t do enough of that.
I would certainly suggest appreciating the people in your life and all the things that you are wanting more of in the future. The more you focus on the stuff that pleases you…the more you will get to experience pleasure.
Once you identify the things you are appreciating, take few moments to really bask in the good feelings that they bring. By doing this you are amplifying the energy of them and sending a strong signal out into the Universe say “more of this Please!”
Writing them down for the world to see adds a bit of extra power to them. ( and it is also fun for everyone to see what other folks are writing…creates a big swirl of juicy goodness for everyone.)
So tell me……What do you Appreciate from this past week?

10 Tips for Diving Into Your Ever Abundant Flow
Posted by: | Comments1. Embrace the idea that the Universe is conspiring WITH you to have what you want.It always sends you what you ask for, every time. (Remember that you asking with your emotions and feelings not just your thoughts)
2. Once you got this, be a pal and tell the Universe what you want by thinking about it and feeling it. Spend time imagining all the things you want to experience, and really get into the feeling of what it would be like to have it. How would it affect your life? What would be different?
3. Ignore reality and tell the story of how you want it to be. It is easy to get caught up in the idea that you are supposed to tell “it like it is” rather than telling the story of what you desire. When you continue to focus on a “reality” that is undesirable to you, you are actually amplifying the energy of that thing and asking for more of the same.
4. Recognize that in every moment, you can focus on the “Good reality” or the “Bad reality”. They both exist with every possible “in between” outcome at all times for every subject. The outcome that you experience is determined by where you are focusing your attention in this broad spectrum of possibilities.
5. Spend time every day amplifying the energy of what you want more of. It is easy! All you need to do is appreciate the things that you are enjoying in your day and the people around you. It could be an s simple as noticing someone’s earrings, or mentioning something you appreciate about your partner. Allow yourself to feel the good feelings that brings up. That is the energy you want more of.
6. Learn to pivot your thoughts from what you don’t want to what you do want. This simple exercise will immediately shift your energy to a more expansive vibration. When you notice yourself focusing on what you do not want, either in conversation or in your head, say, “I clearly know what I Do NOT wants. What is it that I DO want?”
7. Create some quiet “alone time” everyday to slow down and chill out. Meditate, take a walk outside, listen to some music that sooths you, whatever it is that allows you to slow down and connect yourself. Step outside of your usual swirl and re-connect to your center.
8. Hang out with positive, happy people. Spending time with folks who are bitching and complaining only brings you down. Find a group of people who are focused and talking about living the life you want to create. Stay away from groups that focus on what you are not wanting. For example, do not join a group protesting war, but rather join a group that supports peace.
9. Make it your mission to notice the abundance that already exists in your life. Notice that you have food and cloths and a roof over your head. Be thrilled that you found a penny in your couch. See the abundance of love you have for your pets and that they give you back. Be thankful for the coffee someone bought you, or the lunch you got at your meeting at work. If you start looking for the abundance, I guarantee that you will begin to see it all around you.
10. Have fun! Laugh and Play! Enjoy your friends and family!
