MakeGirlfriends is back and active again…..come join us because: Too much FUN is NEVER enough!

MakeGirlfriends Picture from Nathalie 1 300x300 MakeGirlfriends is back and active again.....come join us because: Too much FUN is NEVER enough!I have been away for 9 months and I am thrilled that “our” girlfriend Nathalie Villenueve so generously allowed me to come back and take over MakeGirlfriends.  If you remember, August 1, 2012 I made the decision to take a break from writing on the MakeGirlfriends blog and instead experience another move and write for the two books that I have in process; the move happened and the writing has been slow in coming.  Life is such a beautiful adventure if we allow the Universe to take care of us for the Universe is self-correcting and self-organizing.  So Nathalie gifted me this beautiful picture and I let go of another chapter of my life, releasing the website to her.

I moved to Asheville in January 2013, before I left I had a wonderful reunion of the beautiful girlfriends that I had met and brought together here in the Wilmington/Carolina Beach, NC area.  Girls that didn’t know each other, now know each other.  For it’s all about the possibilities of connections and “showing up!”

Well, I thought I was going to be in Asheville for some time and as usual I didn’t plan any time frame.  Instead, I went with an open heart and allowed my spirit to guide me.  On top of Beaucatcher Mountain is where I took some time for being “alone” and finally not “lonely.”  The transformation of another chapter of my life began to unfold.  I experienced a time of peace, tranquility and utter silence.  A much needed soul boosting time for myself.

After moving 15 times in 3 years, I started thinking, “why do I move so often?”  I went to that space within and realized that I have the gift of bringing “girlfriends” together and then after friendships had formed, I usually would leave.  So I thought, “why would I leave such amazing friendships?”  At that point, the spirit moved me and silently spoke that it’s okay to move back; it had been about 4 weeks now in the dead of winter in Asheville.  My girlfriends came up to see me after being there for 3 weeks – the picture on the header of MakeGirlfriends is that trip; we were sitting in front of Dupont Falls.  What amazing girlfriends that take time out of their schedules to come and see another girlfriend.  We had a blast that weekend and much needed girlfriend time – a time of rejuvenation to the soul!

So low and behold, I take the signs from the Universe and one morning after letting go of past events, recognizing current situations, I was in the office working and a dove sits on the ledge of the deck looking at me.  Peace came before me and I started looking for places to live in the Wilmington, NC area in order for me to return to the “girlfriend” tribe.  Within hours, I found an amazing condo right across from the beach in Wrightsville Beach, NC.  The price and the view drew me to it.  With car packed,  I was on the road again!  I arrived the end of February, and the following weekend I had a “welcome back” party for myself.  How priceless to see the faces that I had left and everyone welcomed me back with open arms.

I have been blessed with the friendships that have been so meaningful to my life; growing and learning with each friend that crosses my path.  I have come to a place where it’s okay to stay grounded for a bit of time.  I am continuing to write the stories from my heart that I will compile into a book.  I will continue to inspire and encourage you with my vulnerability and love for each one of you.

When I started MakeGirlfriends back in 2010, I stated, “if I can touch one life through this website, it’s all worth the time and energy.”  Of course, I am humbled to say that many lives were and have been touched.  Now, with a new beginning of MakeGirlfriends, I will continue to write stories that “come” to my heart – I will post when I am encouraged and guided to post.  I will write stories of girlfriends and personal growth through friendships.

I remain eternally LOVE and remember, may the possibilities of today excite us all!

I AM,

Nancy, Girlfriend Guru

The #1 Rule to Manifest Your Dreams and Goals: Patience

DSC0007a1 150x150 The #1 Rule to Manifest Your Dreams and Goals: PatienceAllow me to introduce you my “newest” guest blogger Patricia Gozlan – Patricia comes to us from Italy and I have been in contact with her via skype and her energy is contagious.  Patricia is now part of MakeGirlfriends.com - you can find more information on her on the homepage of this website.  I invite you to check her out and give her a warm welcome.  I am grateful that she will now be part of this community of inspirational writers.

A lonely woman decided life would be more fun with a pet friend. She went to the pet store and said she wanted an unusual sort of pet. After some discussion, she finally bought a centipede.

 That night she decided to take her new pet to the bar to have a drink. She asked the furry little creature, “Would you like to go to the bar with me and have a beer?”

 There was no answer from her new pet. This worried her a bit, so she waited a few minutes before asking again.

”How about going to the bar and having a drink with me?”

 Again, there was no answer from her new friend. She waited a few more minutes while assessing the situation.

 She decided to ask him one more time, shouting “Hey, in there! Would you like to go to the bar and have a drink with me?!”

 A little voice came out of the box, “I heard you the first time! I’m putting my darn shoes on!”– Source unknown

 How many of us are aware that when we want something, we let our egoistic voice command us, rather than just allowing the Number One Rule of Manifestation to get it for us?

It seems absurd – but the more unattached we are to our goals, the quicker they manifest.

When our inner voice keeps banging on to us with words or bad thoughts like:

 “You are not doing enough!”

“Look at other people, and then look at you – you are pathetic!”

“Are you stupid? You have worked on this project for X years and you’re still not getting good results!”

You actually build a resistance to manifest your goals with ease.

Have you ever noticed that when you least expect things to happen, they eventually do happen?

This is part of letting go and living the path of non-attachment.

Clinging on to what we want is letting our ego taking over.

This is us not taking responsibility of the life we are creating for ourselves. We expect the outside world to do everything for us. Well, can we control the external world? No, we can’t. So what can we do?

By monitoring our inner dialogue and letting go of the ego we create the reality we want.

 We have been taught that is selfish to live in peace where the rest of the world is suffering in bad economic times, of war, of uncertainty and/or catastrophe.

 What we were not taught is that we are the ones to create the outside world by the quality of our thoughts – when you multiply the crazy ego by billions and billions, especially when 80% of our thoughts are based on self-criticism… what do you think happens then?

 The world will not change and will surely not improve if you feel bad for others and yourself.

 Ho’oponopono with NLP and EFT all tools I combine and use with my clients to manifest what they desire easily. The energy-based sessions I offer teach you how to be free of your ego and the obsession of perfection or wanting things the way you want it. When you are there, manifestation becomes the most natural thing you have ever done. The biggest difference is that it is now done through awareness and not by default.

 Stress does not exist in the world. The only thing that exists is the stressful thoughts we create for ourselves. We “do” thoughts. We “do” stress. We “do” happiness, and we also “do” peace.

 By learning to practicing thoughts of non-resistance and patience, you’ll train yourself to see the good stuff for you in any circumstances. You have the choice, to become a tranquil and healthy person far from any kind of disease!

 Do you now realise that you are the creator of your reality – that you can now choose positive, prosperous experiences for yourself, and that the more you give to yourself to more you’ll be able to contribute to the good for all?

 Patience is just one of the ingredients of manifestation.

ACCEPTING YOUR BODY AND YOUR CYCLES….ALL OF THEM

erin greece 150x150 ACCEPTING YOUR BODY AND YOUR CYCLES....ALL OF THEMby Erin Williams

Spring is here, and we are all coming out of our wooly, winter cocoons and shopping for bright spring colors.  Maybe it is because we are shedding these big layers, that I have recently noticed I am having many more discussions about body image.  

These conversations have led to many sessions with women working on developing a positive relationship with their bodies and food.  This certainly is not some new, cutting edge topic, but I have recently developed new ways to think about it.

Most conversations start off with frustration and anger about how they have fallen off their dieting and or exercise regime.  “I am so pissed!!!  I was running 3 miles a day and feeling amazing and then I went on vacation, came back, and stopped running altogether.  Why has it been so difficult for me to get back on track!!!  Uggggh!!! 

My reply has been this:  I believe understanding why exact behavior plays into a normal and natural cycle will help women forgo all the abusive self-talk and go right to having a more compassionate and healthy relationship with themselves and consequently exercise and food.  First there are many layers to us to look at in understanding why this is normal and natural.  We are animals first (creatures of habit), then we are human beings (always adapting and changing), and lastly, we are women (goal oriented, task maskers, juggling a million things at once).  We want to have success with work, family, our personal appearance, our spiritual and emotional self, and also wanting to have a fun filled life. 

One of the struggles we come up against is not realizing that you cannot address all of these areas of your life every single day.  If we can come to some acceptance about this we will be sooooo much better off.   There is a natural cycle the ensues, where we focus for a while on caring for our physical bodies, and then our emotional selves, and then shift the focus to work for a while, our families and so on.   We do not cycle in a day.  Think about how many cycles we operate on that are natural…..our menstrual cycle, sleep cycle, seasons, the moon, and so forth. 

Our relationship with food and exercise is also a cycle, and there is nothing wrong or bad about that.  The cycle is what is constant and natural.  When I hear women coming in telling me that they went out this past weekend and ate a bunch of rich food and drank red wine, and although they had a great time, now feel terrible…..”and why can’t I just stop doing that altogether?”  I have begun to hear it as if they were asking me “why do I have to sleep at night?  I wish I could just go, go, go.  That way I would always be getting things done.” 

The reason why you can’t always be in super health food mode or super exercise mode is because of our natural cycles.  ACCEPT THIS!  It feels really good.  Next, after you come to some acceptance, set the intention that you want to be healthy and feel good.  This will mean that anything you are doing is going to coincide with these intentions for yourself.  For example, if you are forcing yourself to go for a run and you are hating every minute of it, you are not acting based on your intention for yourself.  Make a shift and choose to do something that will get you moving, but also be enjoyable….walking on a beautiful path, going for a hike on a beautiful trail…etc.  When you go out for wine with friends, skip the self loathing, and realize this is also part of your natural life cycle and part of your intention for yourself to feel good and be happy. 

If your body is signaling you that it’s time to go into super health food or exercise mode, you should listen to that too.  Your body will know when it is time to do that.  The part that you should skip is the self loathing and nasty self talk.  Just accept that it’s time to switch modes and do it with the intention of feeling good, inside and out!  You do not need to be fixed, so switch your perspective to see that. 

Happy Spring! 

You are beautiful and good things are happening!!!

Build Confidence to Deal with Difficulty

ANNE LYKEN GARNER 12 150x150 Build Confidence to Deal with DifficultyAllow me to introduce you to Anne Lyken-Garner
 
 
Last year I went to Porto with my husband for a short break without the kids. While there we visited the grounds of a beautiful Manor and came across a field of thriving lavender plants. You could smell the vitalizing scent from way off, drawing you closer and closer, tantalizing your senses.

   

The thing that struck me when we approached the lavender field was the fact that the ground was completely parched – so dry you could pick up the soil and crumple it into sand particles between your fingers. It made me wonder how such rich plants with such glorious scents could survive and indeed, thrive in such harsh and unwelcoming surroundings.    

 
 

I was later told the lavender plant loves dry soil. In fact, the very thing that makes them smell so sweet is the hardship they endure having to make it through without food and water. In other words, the harder they work to survive, the sweeter they smell. 

We’re like that sometimes, aren’t we? The harder we work at understanding life and building confidence to deal with difficulty, the better we become for it.

My kids don’t believe me, but I tell them often that they won’t learn patience unless they’re made to wait for things. The very thing that produces patience is that which induces the ‘hardship’. Likewise, the things that make us appreciate happiness in life are those which make us go through pain. For how can we truly understand happiness if we don’t know what not being happy feels like?

So, when you’re going through stumbling blocks in life don’t get stuck on wondering, ‘why me’. I know it’s difficult, but fully engage with the stumbling blocks by using them as stepping stones to climb to where you want to be. Why? Because those are the same blocks you’ll own later on, which you’ll use to build the foundation of a stronger you. Keep those stones well polished because you’ll also use them to create a more rigid confidence platform – a platform from which you can help your girlfriends cope when sanity is slipping from their grasps.

Embrace life’s little rocks with confidence because like diamonds, if they were soft and cushy they wouldn’t be precious – and they certainly wouldn’t be our best friends!

5 Universal Lies that Unmistakably Lead You to Struggle in Loneliness and Fear

DSC0007a1 150x150 5 Universal Lies that Unmistakably Lead You to Struggle in Loneliness and Fearby Patricia Gozlan

I always ask myself – what do successful and fulfilled people do to succeed, when others don’t in the same, shared environment?

This is important to know, so we model excellence, earn time and learn from other peoples’ mistakes, right?

The 5 principles I’m about to share with you are to be considered in your personal, business and spiritual life.

Once you have mastered these by reminding yourself of the opposite then you automatically connect with the field of infinite abundance, ready to create your specific desires, goals and dreams.

So what are these mistakes we always repeat like little robots? This inner dialogue we seem to repeat day and night… as if repeating these hypnotic, destructive mantras for years and years is not enough!!!

  • I am what I do. If I’m successful in my business, I am ok. If I am not, I am not worth it.

No wonder we struggle as what we tell ourselves paralyses us physically and spiritually. With no energy how can we grow and succeed?

  • I love myself if others love me.

This is my favorite one! What if others do not know or cannot feel the same way for you within their own reasons? Are you totally dependent of what they do or don’t? The truth is that you are loved in proportion to how much you love yourself. Yes, it’s the opposite!

  • My value is defined by how much I have.

In a capitalistic society we are measured by our bank accounts. So what would you say about the people that have unethically robbed millions? How would you measure their value? If I am defined by my possessions, what happens when I am not here anymore? What is my value then, as a spiritual being?

  • I am separate from what I do not have yet.

In various posts we have analysed the contradiction of this postulate. If I feel separate from everything and everyone, I do not see the divinity in me, or others. Therefore, my belief will always be reconfirmed by behaviour, which will reconfirm my belief (a self-fulfilling prophecy).

Only when we feel united and believe that what we have is already ours can we create and manifest what we want.

  • ‘God’ does not love me. I am separate from ‘Him’

Call this infinite field God, Universe, Hara Krishna, Jesus or Buddha – it is not important. Knowing (which is more than believing) that you are part of this oneness gives you the possibility to ask for and access the infinite files of abundance.

The united vibration of this and inner peace will bring you to act as if what you want is already here and therefore manifest it.

These 5 are the lies your ego- (E)verything (g)ood is (o)utside of you- will keep on telling you, restructured in many ways from day to day because you were conditioned this way.

Whether you are religious or not, there is a proverb in the Bible that goes,

“Insincere talk that hides what you are really thinking is like a fine glaze on a cheap clay pot”

Start restructuring your thoughts and defining yourself from others – stop lying to yourself and turn yourself into a pot worth selling!

What other lies do you tell yourself and how can you change these lies to create a different reality?

WE ARE DESIGNED TO BE BEAUTIFUL MOSAICS….

Mosaics1 150x150 WE ARE DESIGNED TO BE BEAUTIFUL MOSAICS....Virginia Woolf stated, Arrange whatever pieces come your way, and make it work for you.”

I was talking to one of my girlfriends about emotions, feelings, and life in general. We all go through trials, challenges, joys, happiness, pain, and tears in the course of our lives. We mentioned how we all are broken pieces of tiles put together like a mosaic.

I thought as we talked about our spirits resembling broken pieces, and stated; the broken pieces are our life mosaic. We take all of the broken/wounded pieces, we put them together gently, and we make a beautiful mosaic. I love the way a mosaic looks, with every piece exactly where it belongs. We must not fall apart when challenges come our way, but instead we gather up our thoughts and emotions, glue them gently back together, and in so doing we create a beautiful tapestry that is forever evolving! One that is stronger and more vibrant. I call this OUR STORY…..

By changing our attitudes – the way we think and focus on the positive instead of the negative, we are on our way to changing our perspective and taking the broken pieces and making something incredibly beautiful! 

What I find is that we are prone to becoming victim to circumstance; the “poor me” syndrome. We encounter a hard time with a situation in life, we allow depression, anger and/or anxiety to set in, and like an evil monster it doesn’t leave. We so desperately want it to leave, but we live in darkness for so long that we forget the resources available to us, and don’t see the ray of light on the horizon. We spiral into the dark abyss and forget that there are other ways of thinking that are more functional, more positive. The darkness will subside if we connect with the positive things in our life, and remind ourselves daily that attitude is everything. It’s not what happens to you but how you react to what happens to you that matters.

Having an attitude of gratitude…….takes the blues away!

We make things so hard, but surely they don’t have to be that way. Remember what I said in the beginning of this post, we are intended to be beautiful mosaics. We must honor and respect ourselves in such a way that we truly BELIEVE we are! 

Remember, may the possibilities of today excite us all!

LIFE BY DESIGN….I LOVE MINE

Nicoa.Dunne 1 150x150 LIFE BY DESIGN....I LOVE MINEby Guest Blogger Nicoa Dunne

It was 2009, the middle of an economic downturn… I was at the top of my game, sitting at the table as an Executive Vice-President of Human Resources with Board of Director responsibilities making six figures, tons of equity and bonuses that were more than my first year’s salary – I had a stay at home husband and three beautiful daughters 12 and under – living the American Dream …. and… I … woke up one day … and … QUIT!

What was wrong with me? Crazy lady! Right?

That was three years ago and I have once again created a life – one that aligns holistically with what I want and what fuels me AND those in my life – emotionally AND financially. I am a professional coach/consultant AND an entrepreneur and business owner. I own my own hours. I exercise when I want. I wake up when my children wakeup and eat with them. I go out with my husband weekly. I figured out if I take ownership of what I truly want and open my heart and mind up wide enough, I KNOW how to create and design a life that is abundant.

Yes, you can have it all. But, only if you design it based on YOU – not what others think you should do, or based on how someone else did it. YOU have the power to create YOUR life by design.

I did.

Life by Design. I Love Mine.

LIVING LIFE OUT LOUD AND SLOWING DOWN….

Living out loud 150x150 LIVING LIFE OUT LOUD AND SLOWING DOWN....There are 3 things that we know for sure about life:  it has a beginning, it will end some day, and we should make the most of it while in between.

It’s the gap – the in between that I want to write about today.

This is what I call the GAP – the place between 2 places.

How are you living in the gap? 

Are you living in a timid place full of fear?

-or-

Are you living in JOY full of laughter and peace?

To fully live life out loud means to smell the roses, enjoy the view, take the opportunity to meet and smile at a stranger and truly touch a life for that moment in time.

Sometimes we take life so seriously that we forget to exhale.  We run from one place to the next place and forget where we’ve been.  RUSH, FAST, HURRY is part of our vocabulary.  We don’t make time for ourselves because we’re too busy taking care of everyone else.  We even think it’s selfish to make time for ourselves.

Allow me to dispel that myth.

It’s okay to take care of yourself – to breathe – to exhale.

In my opinion, if you don’t exhale then you are probably almost on the verge of burnout.  It’s time to charge your batteries and take care of YOU.

So I believe there is a co-relation between slowing down and living your life out loud.

Do the things that matter most in life like spending time with your family, your loved ones.  Take the time to show the most important people in your life that they matter and you care.  Take the time to spend with friends.  Take that spontaneous trip.  In fact, I write this post on an airplane flying to Chicago.  My son is a pilot and he had sent me a text the night before stating he was flying to my town and if I wanted to catch a flight to Chicago with him since he had a few days off.  I pondered, and yes I was busy with work but I had the opportunity and I seized the moment – YES – I will!  Work will always be there, errands to run will be run, work will get done but precious moments with loved ones leave you with the memories of a lifetime.  So memories I created by going to Chicago with Kevin.

“There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy.” Robert Louis Stevenson

THE ART OF PATIENCE

Patience 150x150 THE ART OF PATIENCEHello Girlfriends – “The two most powerful warriors are patience and time”….Leo Tolstoy

We want things and answers “NOW!” 

We have been conditioned to expect things NOW since we live in a society of instant gratification.  With the upgrade of technology and our instant society we want ANSWERS NOW!  We’re hungry, we drive through a fast food restaurant to get our food quickly.  (No waiting – well except if everyone else in that town decides on the same thing – FAST FOOD – then there’s a long line and our patience gets tested).

It’s said that Patience Is a Virtue – so I researched this a bit because I know for myself I struggle with having so much patience in some parts of my life but then having ZERO patience in other parts of my life.  On Answers.com it states, “The phrase “patience is a virtue” is just a way of expressing the importance of being patient.  A virtue is a trait or quality deemed to be morally excellent and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being.  Patience can make us better people.  The definition of the word is to tolerate delay implying self control and forbearance.  When we say “patience is a virtue” we are exposing our moral values and expressing importance of patience as a foundation of principle.  So to answer the question, patience is not a virtue until it truly becomes a virtue and knowing how diverse the spectrum of individualism is, I’m sure patience is a vice (opposite of virtue) to some.  Patience is a necessity for a happy existence and that is why the phrase is so often used.

So with all that stated and knowing that patience is a necessity for a happy existence, why do we “fall out” of patience?  We all do it – look around and be aware at the grocery stores and the faces of impatient people, when you have to wait for a table at a restaurant, in traffic, in the blog world and your traffic is not up from you last blog post.  In relationships we display impatience with our partners.  Isn’t love patient?  So I reflect inward and I ask, “Okay if I love myself and love is patient then patience is love and I love myself enough to be patient with myself.” 

To have patience for others we must be patient with ourselves and there lies the battle. 

The internal struggle with self! 

Thus, the reason why we want everything “NOW” – answers to our challenges that arise in our daily lives – “NOW!” 

By getting our answers “NOW” then we don’t have to deal with any pain, fear and the unknown. 

Instead we don’t have the answers “NOW” – we don’t understand why the waiting?  We don’t understand the dessert moments in our lives.  These are the moments of being “STILL” (this requires patience and time) – when I say STILL, I don’t mean we keep thinking and fretting about the issue we are battling – STILL to me means – letting the issue go and getting out of the way of GOD.  There’s work to be done so get out of THE way! 

In my own life, it’s the moments when I let go and move out of THE way, that is when the MAGIC happens.

These are the moments when we get clarity and clarity is power!  Sometimes you can even look back at a situation and have an “AH-HA” moment by saying, “Now I know why I had to WAIT and be PATIENT.” 

So next time you’re in traffic, a long line, when you can’t wait to meet your new love partner because you’ve been alone for so long or you fear being alone – BREATH – in and out slowly – remind yourself that you are LOVE and BE STILL – BRING ON THE PATIENCE! 

Patience breeds happiness, love, and peace while impatience breeds anxiety, stress and fear….

Remember, may the possibilities of today excite us all!

Miracles Through Sending Intentional LOVE

erin greece1 150x150 Miracles Through Sending Intentional LOVEBy Erin Williams, LMSW, BCD

We acknowledge the existence of subtle vibes all the time….”oh, that place just gave me a bad feeling,” or “I just get a good vibe from her.”  Subtle energy is everywhere, and some of us are just more sensitive to it than others.  Sometimes it feels good, and sometimes it feels bad.  One thing that is often overlooked is how powerful those subtle vibes become when they are powered by intention.  When you pair intention with energy it becomes modern day magic!

            Here is how it works; let’s say there is a person or situation that needs some healing.  What sometimes happens is that we feel sorry for that person, or become frustrated by the situation, so we actually are sending negative energy into it.  We vent about it or indulge our deepest negative emotions.  Not only are we sending out negativity, but we are actually getting weighed down by it ourselves.  Try turning this around by visualizing the person or the situation healed.  Intentionally send it LOVE.  What color is your love?  To me, love is magenta, so when I am intentionally sending love, I will surround that person or situation with a beautiful magenta bubble.  Since energy works based on intention, that energy gets sent and infuses and surrounds the situation with compassion and love.  It truly is a modern day love spell!

            If you are having an argument with someone, surround them with your love color.  You could also try writing their initials down on a piece of paper and set and intention for more balance and harmony.  Another spell you may like is picturing the situation exactly as you would like it to be in your mind’s eye, and then surround it with love.  Say to yourself, “it is done,” and release it.  Your intentions are so powerful that you will find miracles begin to follow you everywhere you go!  Let me know how it works for you!

Love and light to you,

Erin
