Live Like a Hot Chick

I am truly fortunate and humbly in gratitude to be surrounded by and working mostly with women, whom I prefer to call Goddesses and Queens.

In fact over the past 10 years since I have been coaching, approximately 95% of my practice has been focused with women.

While I was growing up and learning about energy and spirituality, I was typically the youngest and at the same time, typically the only male. So I consider myself to have lived a blessed life amongst many Goddesses and Queens.

Recently, a friend/colleague/client sent me this description from a book she is reading - Thank you to RM for sending this through.

This very accurately describes the way any women should feel when she is coming from her soul and as such her authentic and centred state. Although I have not read the book, my sense is that it would be a good one for any women wanting to further enhance her ability to both be feminine and powerful, natural and authentic.

Here is a quote from the book:

“Hot Chick” (definition): A confident woman. She knows what she wants and gets it. She is aware of her flaws, but she doesn’t obsess over them and instead thinks that maybe (just maybe) they actually add to her unique beauty. She is passionate. She loves life. She is comfortable in her own skin and owns her sexuality, but uses it purely for good.

She does not use other women as her enemy and competes only with herself to do her best at all times and to be her best at all times. She is forthright, honest, and disarmingly herself. She is having fun, and she is sexy, and you just want to be around her to soak up some of these good vibes.

She isn’t perfect, but she doesn’t care because she is hot... (From the book "Live Like a Hot Chick" by Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent)

If you have read this or plan to, then do leave a comment below. Let us know how it was and what you enjoyed most from the book!

My humblest regards:),

A Perspective on What Is Success?

Some fun things to consider:

One of my favorite quotes is:

"Success is a trendy word. Don't aim for success if you want it, just do what you love and it will come naturally." -David Frost

While this is true for some perspectives of success and for others not so much, here is a wonderful viewpoint on success:

SUCCESS:

At age 4 success is . . . . Not piddling in your pants.
At age 12 success is . . . Having friends.
At age 17 success is . . . Having a driver's license.
At age 35 success is . . . Having money.
At age 50 success is . . . Having money.
At age 70 success is . .. . Having a driver's license.
At age 75 success is . ... Having friends.
At age 80 success is . . .. Not piddling in your pants.

Create success ALLWAYS! ;)

Perhaps Buying Silver IS Important!

Hi Everyone,

If you are familiar with my e-zine Be-Inspired, you will find it is all about inspiration, the power of the mind, energy, spirituality, life clarity and all that helps you to expand your mind, consciousness, and your ability to live a fulfilled and rich live and to enrich others' lives as well.

This blog is all about all of the fun, cool, and neat things and interests I have that you can benefit from and hopefully that enrich your experience. Still relevant to Be-Inspired, but much more broad in its scope.

You will read about some wild ideas and ones that seem to be coming into reality such as investing to create wealth in elements such as gold and silver, the possibility of the world going through some shifts over the next few years and what you will want to consider for preparation if that is important to you.

There will be videos, audios and many more cool items to help you and your loved ones to move through life smoothly, peacefully, and with some kind of adventure.

You will also find funky and incredible health products that may serve you, amonths other things.

With that said, here is a little diddy on something I was just blown away at finding out today... January 1st, 2011 that you definitely need to know about.

While I am at it... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

In 1991, I enrolled in a money course led by one of my mentors Sue. At that time, she suggested to us that we begin to buy gold bars and store them in our homes.

At that time, very very few people were discussing this topic... mainly because the internet was not very functional, there was no Youtube and most people were finding out about investing in gold and silver through books here and there and by visionaries who could see with near 100% psychic clarity a future to come.

At that time, and for most of my life up to that point and for a while, I had always had financial troubles and so my focus was always more about survival than it was about investing.

Years later, in fact last year, I began to purchase a bit of silver. I had completely forgotten her message and through a friend heard about it the vale of investing in Silver and Gold.

I purchased the first silver at that time at about $17.00 per ounce (which represents a silver coin). Well, wouldn't you know, today I checked and it has increased in value by about 66% !!! It is now worth over $30.00. So I have nearly doubled my investment within a year.

Let's look at this for a moment to consider this and understand how this relates to you... You likely personally invest in RRSPs, RESPs, retirement funds, mutual funds, bonds, and you likely know of others who do the same. Let say that you made 14% this past year on even just one of those investments over the year. Using the same numbers as the silver at $17.00. If you had a mutual fund valued at $17.00, with an increase of 14%, you would have made $2.38 (14%, by-the-way, is a very, very good return in a market where many can lose money on their investments but most average about 5-8%).

So looking at these numbers imagine what you would have made if you took even just 10% of your current investments that are in stocks or that you contribute to RRSPs and had invested them in silver.

The numbers we are using are very small as there are some individuals and even large companies investing in silver and gold who are purchasing quantities of 10,000 ounces or 1,000,000 ounces of silver. Imagine if you invested $10,000.00 in silver last year - today it would be worth $16,600.00. You would now have an additional $6,660.00 in one year. For those who purchased gold, well it has increased even further.

I mention this because if you and I had invested way back when my mentor suggested we should and continued each year... well, let's just say, we would be e-mailing and reading this blog from golden castles somewhere ;)

Further, and four more important points I have found in nearly all of my research on silver and gold...

1. Silver, now worth about $30.00, some say may one day outprice gold which is now at a little over $1400.00 per ounce! - because it used in more items around the planet.

2. Silver, because it is easier to purchase for the majority of people - a silver coin is $30.00 where a gold coin is $1400.00 - is the easier purchase in many cases.

3. Buying in coins may be more advantageous than buying in wafers or bars. If the world does shift over the next 2-3 years in interesting ways and our dollars are worth nothing, metal COINS will be easier to use to make purchases and to trade than bars.

4. Do not store your coins/metals at a bank. Find a safe place in your home or purchase a safe to keep them their. Who knows what can happen if crisis breaks out and banks are not open or close temporarily!

I hope this has been helpful. Do write below and add your thoughts or questions on this topic and if you have experience with investing in gold and silver also be sure post - your positive and helpful comments are always welcome!
