The Power of One Word...

Wow, 2011 is coming to a close and what a journey it has been.   I bet it's been a roller coaster ride for you, how do I know because that is life and we all go through ups and downs. At the start of 2011 I chose one word to live the rest of my life by and that word was TRUTH. I vowed to find it, discover it, accept it, speak it and live it. It wasn't easy and in many cases it was painful yet rewarding.

What I learned in my truth journey is..

• I am enough just as I am.
• The truth does set you free.
• The truth can hurt but it can also heal and inspire.
• My truth is mine. I cannot live some one's truth for them.
• The truth can break you down and help you break through and breakout!
• The truth can be re-created and used as a tool to be free, fearless, fired up and live fabulously!

I will use TRUTH as my guide for 2012 too and I'm adding a cherry on top to live my NAKED Truth! That's right the real, raw, imperfect, transparent, authentic truth.  Yes, no masks, costumes, veils or facades. I drew a line in the sand in 3 areas of my life (love, legacy and wealth) and there is no turning back. I am fully committing to living a full, satisfying, rewarding and delicious life ---simply by living my NAKED truth.

Choosing one word has been remarkable! I am free to speak my mind, do it my way, say NO and mean it, say YES and love it, set my own rules, show up in the raw, live BIG, own my power and create a legacy that leaves the world a much better place. I am FEARLESS and so are you!

I challenge you to start thinking now about the one word you will use as your guide for living the most fearless, FREE, and fabulous live you can imagine. I double-dog dare you to start now! Don't wait for 2012 to roll in, decide, choose and take action. The biggest aha in this truth journey is that I could not live in fear if I wanted to live in love and truth. I have been fearless all year long and will be even more fearless in 2012 and beyond.

So...what will your one word be? Choose one for 2012 and see what happens in your life. Change it in 2013 if you like but start today, right now with one word that speaks to your soul and will be the catalyst for creating a ridiculously fulfilling life.

YOU are the Genie you've been waiting for!  That's right, when you awaken the Genius within you, you can be who you want to be, do what you want to do and have what you want to have!

  

Life is going to happen no matter what, so why not hop in the driver's seat of your life and just do it! Whatever it is, whatever you want and desire. There is nothing to fear... Take your fearless faith and action into the New Year by mastering the Art of Fear-Free Living.

Get Naked and Liberate Your Life

Go ahead admit it you feel FREE when you are naked. Even if you don't like what you physically see, being naked is for the most part a very comfortable and natural space and place to be in, would you agree? Why wouldn't it be, it's the way we came into this world.  My body is certainly not perfect, never will be and it really is something I desire. I've always been bigger than most of my friends, been chubby, healthy, thick and maybe even overweight to some.  Thank God for inner strength because I've heard my share of comments about my weight.  Still when naked I feel free although it happens only when showering or getting dressed.

So what's the talk about being naked you are wondering...well when is the last time you got mentally, emotionally and or spiritually naked? When's the last time you didn't identify yourself as woman, man, wife, coach, speaker, entrepreneur or other titles? When's the last time you didn't use words to describe who you are or let go of all the labels you put on who you are?  I did that weeks ago.  For seven days straight I stood in the mirror butt-bone naked and really looked at myself. I gently without judgment looked at every curve, dimple, scar, stretch mark and piece of cellulite.  I looked at myself from every angle and looked deep in my eyes to see into my soul.  For 7 days I asked myself very pointed questions like "who are you really, what's in your heart, what is your soul longing for, what do you need to be forgiven for etc." My body, my heart and my soul spoke to me; sometimes loudly and other times I could barely hear the response.  For 7 days with paper in hand I wrote down the responses, wrote the experience in the journal and set intentions for the day.

Whew! What a provoking, raw, real, sad and liberating experience that was.  Yes, I got NAKED for 7 days and learned more about myself than I had in  a long time.  I got NAKED and finally could hear what my mind, body and soul have been trying to say for a long time.  I got NAKED and allowed the brilliant woman within to speak her mind.  I got NAKED and peeled away the veils that kept a piece of me hidden from the world.  Oh am I glad I got naked...

I've always been pretty bold, outspoken and authentic but these 7 days have allowed me to shake off the expectations of the world and release a new me; a me that loves to be free! 

Now I'm taking 20 women on this journey of authenticity, freedom and personal power.  I giggle when I imagine what they are experiencing.  I smile because I know they are releasing their SHero.  My heart sings because I feel the heavy burden of fear, shame, guilt and doubt being lifted from their spirits.  I am humbled because they've trusted me with their lives.  I'm grateful because God gave me the gift of compassion in action and everyday I wake up and show up to elevate the lives of humanity. 

I know these women will be more wise, strong, liberated, inspired and free at the end of this 7-day course.  I know they will be ready for more.  They will expect more, demand more, command more and seek more of what they desire out of life and they will receive it because they are brave.

I'm looking forward to the next group of 20 women to start the course for FREE on May 2, 2011.  Will you be one of the 20, there are spaces left but only if you are ready to commit to the 7-day course.  If you'd like to get NAKED and free yourself visit http://www.catriceology.com/ and claim your set for the next Get NAKED 7-day Mini-Course.  It's time you get NAKED and liberate your life.

I hope to see you in the next course and if you are not ready to Get NAKED maybe you know someone who is so do share the opportunity. If you are ready to live fear-free grab your copy of The Art of Fear-Free Living by visiting http://www.theartoffearfreeliving.com/

Until we meet again,
Just live your life and make sure it's absolutely, fearlessly delicious!
