Diana Dorell's new e-book, The Kick-Ass Dancing Goddess Guide: A Must-Read Manual to Stop Playing Small and Start Claiming Your Crown, is delightful, creative, and fun to read. I feel certain you'll love this empowering little e-book — and you can get a free copy of it by joining Diana's email newsletter list on her website. I'll give you the details at the end of this message.

I have to confess that I loved reading The Kick-Ass Dancing Goddess Guide. I've been showing it to friends and family members — and they love it too. Yesterday I showed it to a treasured friend who has a teenage daughter. Because of Diana's writing style, we believe teens are going to love her stories and examples, and especially her sense of humor. While I am sure teens will love it, I found it was empowering and inspiring for me. I wish I had read this when I was a teen!       

Kick Ass Dancing Goddess – age 3

Do you ever feel like a little girl who is afraid to tell people what you really think or really want? If we are honest with ourselves there are times when each of us feels like the little girl no matter what our age.

The stories, examples, and exercises in the e-book are sure to empower you – and bring out your own "Kick-Ass Dancing Goddess" self.

What is this empowering "self" like?

Diana says, "She has her hand on her hip. She carries a beautiful gold staff and wears a shiny gold tiara with rubies, emeralds, and peridots, along with a long, red velvet gown. She has fabulous hair. And she knows you better than anyone… She lives inside of you but for a number of reasons, she may feel like she's gone missing."

While reading the stories in this e-book you'll feel your inner Goddess beginning to take charge. You'll feel empowered, encouraged, and inspired. You'll be reminded that to get what you really want you must be clear on what it is you want — and you must be willing to ASK for what you want.

 

Diana – dolled up for dinner ala Betty Page

The story that goes with the picture, above, clearly illustrates the points and helps you remember them!

In this book you'll discover the six top actions that "separate the Girls from the Goddesses." What are they? You'll have to read the e-book to find out!

There is also a bonus section "Kick-Ass Dancing Goddess" affirmations.

I'll include two here to get you started.

"Let all fall away that keeps me from my Highest and Greatest Good!"

"Today, I follow my heart's true desire. I lead with my passion
and channel my emotions into creative pursuits!"

The message in this book is powerful. Love yourself, believe in yourself, and your life will be more fun for you and will inspire and empower the people you love. Life is meant to be fun. Allow yourself to be playful, have fun, and dance to the music of your heart's desires.

If you want to be entertained and empowered all in one e-book, I highly recommend getting your copy of it now. You can read it over and over to remind you of the empowering lessons and beliefs which will inspire you to take action toward your heart's desires, exiting outcomes, and cherished dreams.

Creating Love for a Lifetime – Kathy D. Infeld

When I was asked to review Kathy D. Infeld's book, Creating Love For A Lifetime – The Five C's To A Successful Marriage, I said, "YES!" Why? Because I was curious to find out what Kathy has learned about creating a love that lasts. Kathy is a psychotherapist, mediator, coach, author, and a woman who has been married for over 37 years.

In my opinion this book can help people create and enjoy a happy marriage or improve their current love relationship. Whether you are single, engaged, just married, or have been married for many years – this book is for you. My husband and I have been married for 28 years. I believe that a large part of why we are still happy together is because we practice what Kathy calls "The Five Cs."

One of the things I love about this book is Kathy's honesty and her willingness to share stories from her own marriage to help illustrate her points. Right from the start she is honest about how two years into her marriage she thought it wasn't going to work. She goes on to tell the stories of how that changed through what she learned in her own marriage which is part of how she helps others with theirs.

Kathy D. Infeld

When I asked Kathy why she wrote this book, she said, "I wrote this book for couples who want to know how to have a successful, sensual, and loving marriage."

One thing I want to make clear is that although the book is about creating a marriage that lasts, the principles in the book can help you improve any kind of relationship. I also feel the book could help couples decide if they are ready for marriage and if they are right for each other. I see this book as being helpful to anyone who wants to have better relationships with the people they love.

The book has many inspiring quotes about love. Here are three of my favorites:

 "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength.
While loving someone deeply gives you courage."
– Lao Tzu

"If speaking is silver, then listening is gold."
– Turkish Proverb

"Love doesn't make the world go round.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile."
– Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The chapter on communication was one of my favorites. It is my belief that the quality of our lives greatly depends on the quality of our communications. As Kathy says, forgiveness, resolution, and negotiation all begin with communication. In order to have a great relationship, it's important that both people feel understood and that depends on our ability to communicate.

I would like to give you a brief overview of Kathy Infeld's Five C's: 

ONE: Commitment
The willingness and dedication to work on your relationship and create the kind of connection that will enhance life for both of you.

TWO: Communication
Improving your ability to understand, connect with each other, and create a bridge of love between the two of you.

THREE: Conflict 
Resolution
Negotiating differences of opinion, healing emotional wounds, and learning to fulfill each partner's needs.

FOUR: Cherishing
Learning to appreciate your partner and express that appreciation, gratitude, sensuality, and love in your relationship.

FIVE: Communion of Spirit
Expressing your growth, love, and purpose as a couple – your own unique way of giving through your life together.

Through the pages of her book, Creating Love for a Lifetime - The Five C’S to a Successful Marriage, Kathy describes these principles in detail. I enjoyed reading the examples of the various couples Kathy has helped with her Five C's. The stories, examples, and exercises in this book helped the couples revitalize, renew, and in some cases re-invent their love.

The Joy of Treasured Friends

When life gets busy it is easy to lose touch with people you enjoy. Feeling a connection with friends is one of the greatest joys of life. Friends are an important part of living a life you love. Do you feel like you need more time with your friends?

As Caroline Myss says, “A visit or call from a friend can heal you.”  I’ve found that calls and visits with my friends can be healing and enjoyable for both of us!

What is a friend? I’m sure you have your own opinions and beliefs and I would love to hear them!  

Following are my thoughts about what it means to be a friend:

A friend is someone it’s enjoyable to know.  A friend is someone who feels like a Kindred Spirit. A friend adds positive feelings such as love, joy, and fun to life and it feels good to do the same for them. It feels good to have new friends and friends I’ve known for years. I enjoy having a variety of friends so I see life from many different perspectives. Also, because we all have different backgrounds we can help each other re-frame things and focus on what’s good. Instead of having one "Best Friend" I prefer to have lots of "Treasured Friends" that I enjoy whether it is in person or through email and facebook. Connecting with like-minded people is a great feeling. 

I've heard many people say that you need to be either a parent or a friend to your child, but my mom showed me the best way is to be both a parent and a friend.  I admit that there are times, especially while your children are younger, or in their teens, when you might need to act more like a parent than a friend.  But it’s possible to guide and be a friend as well. My desire has always been have a great friendship with my son, Alex. I feel thankful to be able to say that Alex has always felt like both my son and my treasured friend. Because of my friendship with my mom, I know that even now that Alex is going to college in Southern California my friendship with him will continue to grow.

Below is a photo of Alex, Me, Dudley, and my sister Tina. I know for sure that some of my most treasured friends are also family members! 

I feel lucky to have had my mom as my example of the kind of relationship it is possible to have with your children. Spending time with my mom was always fun. I will always think of my mom as one of my most treasured friends.

It seems to me it's good to have many kinds of friends. For example, some of you I know only through a conference, class, or club such as Toastmasters, or some other shared interest.  Some of you I’ve known for a long time but we only get to see each other once in a great while.  Some of you started out as my teacher or mentor and then became my friend. Some people begin as friends and then teach us valuable lessons. However I know you, I think of you as my friend.

The following photo is of my treasured friend Linda Bray that I met at a Hay House conference. The photo was taken at the Tao Restaurant in Las Vegas.

Would you like to have more Treasured Friends? A good way to have more Treasured Friends is to be the kind of friend — and person — you want to attract into your life! As the Law of Attraction says, “Like attracts like.”  What you think about is what you attract.  If you want to have more Treasured Friends, become the kind of person you want to attract as a friend.  

Following are some questions you might want to answer:

What friends encourage me to be myself and be the best me?

What friends inspire me to become all I can be?

Who is an encouraging “believing mirror” for me?

Who gives me positive feedback to help me learn?

Who can I tell the worst things that happen in my life?

Who can I tell the best things that happen in my life?

I’ve had some experiences that made me realize there are only a few people I feel I can tell when something “bad” happens in my life. The people who will be there for you during the worst — as well as for the best — are treasures!

How do you feel about the friends you have in your life?  Are there people you treasure that need more of your time?  Do you have friends who give you “psychological air” by truly listening to you?  Do you listen to them?  Make a list of people you treasure and make time in your schedule to see them — or at least email or call them more often. 

When life gets busy it is easy to lose touch with people you enjoy. In my opinion, feeling a connection with friends is one of the greatest joys of life. In fact, I believe that inspiring friends are a huge part of living a life you love.

Remember this quote:  “A visit or call from a friend can heal you.”   Visit a friend, email a friend, call a friend — allow the joy of your friendship to heal and enliven both of you!

I wish all of you love, hugs, laughter, joy, variety, creativity, and lots of fun with your treasured friends!

PS: Do you use facebook? I am enjoying it as a way to connect with more people. I like that it has helped me meet people who have similar interests from around our country and in other countries as well. I also like it because it’s a way to share ideas with like-minded people. Plus it’s an easy way to share photos with each other.
