It doesn’t matter what you did or where you were…it matters where you are and what you’re doing. Get out there! Sing the song in your heart and NEVER let anyone shut you up!!

Let Your Sexy Confidence Sparkle!
Entering a room I notice there is a group of people standing in a horseshoe circle around one person. Wondering what is happening, I decide to stop and observe for a moment. Everyone was intrigued by a conversation; listening intently, holding onto each word spoken as if they were in a trance and captivated by the speaker. Who is it and what is being said that has everyone’s attention?
Walking closer to the group I overhear comments, “Wow she is amazing!” “I love her confidence!” “She’s enchanting!” The group consisted of both men and woman as it was a gathering for a training seminar. My initial thought was perhaps it is the host of the seminar…but no it can’t be, the host is a man and this is obviously a woman. Who is she?
Finally, I venture to make my way to the center of the group to encounter this woman and witness first hand what is being said to capture everyones attentiveness. My curiosity is piqued. Prior to seeing her, I felt her energy and she exuded sexuality. The energy was so powerful it was felt clear across the room. I expected to see a young, beautiful woman like you’d see on a magazine cover, and much to my surprise, in the center of this group was a woman; an average looking “plus size” woman in her 50’s. She was delightful. Her beauty was undeniable. It was below the surface, it resided deep within, like it was her normal state of being and she was one of the most sensual woman I’d ever experienced. She commanded attention softly and her confidence oozed from her pores. She was comfortable with who she was and at ease in her body.
Every woman has the capacity to feel sensual, sexy, vibrant, radiant and confident. Perhaps you’ve heard it described as a “state of mind” but it’s more than that, it’s a feeling, an energy and it’s unique to you. How do you connect with this energy? Desire it and declare it! The way you experience your sensuality, sexuality and confidence is personal. Spend some time and experiment as you discover what allows you to get in touch with your inner goddess. Unleash this energy; as it is available anytime you wish to claim it. A confident woman is an unforgettable woman; a fusion of quiet smoothness and wild, spicy exuberance for living life without reservation. Live your life daily in the Passion Zone with Bold Passion.

“There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.”

Shauna Niequist Quote
I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud…I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing…I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift.

The Eternal Passion Fountain
Recently, two different people during independent conversations mentioned to me that they believe passion is short-lived. A sort of bright, glorious, blazing flame of desire, but one that burns out quickly and often permanently. Both were speaking specifically about romantic passion, but it prompted me to consider this concept for a moment. Did I have the same belief and if so, was it specific to a certain type of passion?
All my life I have been a passionate person. Passionate about relationships, all types; passionate about fun and play; passionate about my career; passionate about . . .well everything. If it is important to me, I am passionate about it and it shows! You don’t have to know me well to see it bubble up and burst forth in an expression of bold enthusiasm and while that same expression may not be consistently shown to the outside world, the emotion within me remains constant. So why do so many people accept the notion that passion is fleeting or short-lived? If you’ve chosen to adopt that concept in your relationships or any other area of your life, I would like to challenge you to reexamine this point of view.
The emotion of passion is defined as a strong affection or enthusiasm for an object, concept, or person. When these feelings of affection are born from a position of clarity and self-respect, they can last a lifetime. Consider this. . .is it possible we have confused infatuation with passion? The energy of infatuation is almost always born from a misconceived interpretation of the object of our infatuation, whether it be a person, thing or concept. When we connect with our personal authenticity and truth, the vitality that is triggered becomes an eternal spring of regenerative passion that continues to expand our experience. We each have the ability to connect with this powerful, nurturing source and it’s as simple as choosing to recognize and celebrate your distinct worth. Honor yourself first and you will discover the boundless breadth of your Passion Zone.

Jonathan Safran Foer Quote
Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I’m not living.
Dazzling Woman!
As a woman it is your inherent nature to nurture. As daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, grandmothers, best friends it feels everyone wants a piece of you. The day may seem tiring as you go about fulfilling everyone’s needs; but what about your dreams and desires? Do you put them aside for everyone else?
Isn’t it time for you to choose you? The old cliché heard a million times over, to be emotionally and physically available to the people you love, you must take care of you first! So here is my question. If you know this, then why are the majority of women still running around “trying” to fix everything and everyone in their path, turning a blind eye on their aspirations? I’ve put the word “trying” in quotations for a very good reason. Let me be blunt about this, there is no “trying” in life. You either commit to do it or you don’t. “Trying” is the same thing as not doing.
Listen up, this is important! Prior to the roles you’ve taken on in life, YOU are a WOMAN first! Seize the moment and reconnect with the deliciousness of living an exuberant life. If you are thinking, I’m passionate about being a good mother, wife, friend…then you are missing the point. You are so much more! You are an exquisite, magnificent and dazzling woman! I implore you to grasp the hungry feeling, the yearning that makes you want to get up and shout “I am a woman, and I have a raw eagerness to wrap my arms around each new spicy adventure with Bold Passion”. Epitomizing this feeling every day is unequivocally living in your Passion Zone!

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke thoroughly used up totally worn out and loudly proclaiming…WOW! What a Ride!
