Personal Growth Begins With Imagination
Personal Growth Begins With Imagination |
"Personal growth is an ideal not of reason, but of imagination ~ Your imagination must be found in a place beyond reason that begins with imagining a future reality ~ the self that you could become."
Imagination
is something I’ve got a lot of. In fact, it’s my imagination that has gotten me
into the best and the worst of situations … and for that I am eternally grateful.
How else could I ever become all that I hope to be, if not for dipping my toe
in the boiling hot water as much as the tepid lake?
The
only problem I have with my vivid imagination is that sometimes it runs so far
ahead of me that often the words coming out of my mouth can’t keep up with my
thoughts, no less my actions or bank account. But that means nothing compared
to the giggly excitement I feel inside when a new idea takes root and begins to
grow into some not-to-be-believed-incredible-over-the-top
new project or adventure.
I
love to learn, and I love learning something about almost everything. But, I
especially love learning the soul’s simple secret and finding ways to apply all the words of wisdom gathered during this exhilarating,
terrifying, exciting and fascinating journey called life. As much as I love to
learn, I enjoy it the most when I am traveling.
It
always seems as if everywhere there
is a lesson to be learned, something new to discover, and a wonderful surprise
unplanned. Then there is the novelty and originality in the architecture,
customs, lifestyles, people and of course the food; I love seeing, feeling,
smelling and tasting all the different kinds of foods, which may be just
ordinary to the locals, but to me often look so extraordinary and innovative.
So
one day when I wasn’t even looking, I had an epiphany that not only changed my
life, but the lives of so many others. A moment in the middle of the day that I
had dreamed about for years sent me on a path that took me to the most amazing
places in the world with the passion to write books, speak and inspire people
all over the world to use their imagination to become the self they could
become.
“Keep your heart open to dreams. For as long as there’s a dream, there is
hope, and as long as there is hope, there is joy in living. The future is
believing in the beauty of your dreams.”
If
my stories capture your attention and you are amused, enlightened, inspired and
encouraged to live the beauty of your
dreams, then together we will know that one’s destination is never a place,
but a new way of seeing things.
Welcome aboard!!

Light Up Every Room You Enter
Not long ago the amazing Dr. Maya Angelo passed away, leaving a
legacy of words and actions that
continue to inspire us to find the courage to figure out who we really are... who we really want to be. It took a re-reading of her marvelous poem called "Phenomenal Woman" to reignite my memories of another amazing woman who first taught me how to take ownership of my own magnificence.
Years ago, when I was a professional photographer -- one of my many incarnations -- I had the pleasure of photographing a fabulous "French" American born woman who had moved to Paris at the ripe old age of 20, simply because she adored everything French. After years of being a model, stylist, and beloved wife of an apparently adoring (deceased) husband, she was now in New York living a grand life to its fullest. To this day I don't know what possessed "Ma Mère," as I called her, to take me under her wing, but her sharing her secret has since taken me to places women far more beautiful, accomplished, wealthy, and successful have only dreamed of going. I say secret, opposed to secrets, because when the day was done, everything always came back to the most important lesson any woman or man can ever learn: How to Own Your Magnificence.
In a hundred different ways she encouraged me to love every single part of myself so there never would be any doubt of my own self-worth. Self-respect and self-confidence in whatever you chose to do were absolute. While other young women were being educated in the great value of mastering domestic skills and the various ways to accommodate others, I was being taught to embrace your own femininity, while always taking full responsibility for your mind, body, spirit and experiences. This jewel of a woman taught me the importance of only being led by the thoughts that empower and serve you, while consciously being on guard to eradicate and eliminate any negative ones -- no matter from whence they came -- that could get in the way of you loving your one-of-a-kind sparkling unique self!
I can still see Ma Mère sitting with me in the garden over afternoon tea, captivating and mesmerizing me with her fascinating stories while she weaved her lessons throughout, as one does with silk threads through fabric, to create a beautiful tapestry. With a glow coming off her that could light up the darkest corner she would begin to teach her little mentee this very important life lesson.
"Mon Chéri, if you want to be the kind of rare jewel worthy of love, adoration, and special care, you must develop a powerful ownership of your own magnificence -- which can only be generated from the inside out. The depth and the strength of your inner light is what makes a woman truly beautiful. When the outside begins to change possibly not so much to your liking -- as it will eventually for everyone -- others will barely notice. The brightness of your love and inner wisdom will diffuse any so called flaws, making you irresistible and unforgettable. Just like an expensive bottle of French parfum you will become cherished and intoxicating!"
Ma Mère was one of the most beautiful and exciting women I have ever known and those qualities never diminished. Men and women of all ages were enamored with her magnetic charm and the ageless beauty she wore like the finest cashmere scarf. She had such respect for the natural gifts she had been given, and embellishing them with care and adornment, was as natural to her as breathing. She could never understand why anyone would "poubelle leur temple," trash the temple that cares their soul. "How could anyone have such little respect for the body that the Source of it all has given them for the most incredible ride of your life? C'est fou, it's crazy." She totally believed in the idea of polishing "the outer stone," so that your body and physical presence metaphorically had the luster of a top grade jewel. But even more importantly, was working on all the inner wisdom and intuitions that makes every woman her own priceless work of art.
Lighting up every room you walk into means to always Own Your Magnificence. Owning your perfection without any false pride or arrogance is simply knowing how special you really are, and how lucky any man or woman, lover or friend is to have you in their life. Some of the best advice my adored Ma Mère gave me was to never forget that unequivocally, nothing is more irresistible than a truly confident woman. She would say, "You must always be 'à l'aise dans votre peau, comfortable in your own skin, and never be an imitation of anyone but yourself." When you Own Your Magnificence you send out an undefinable energy that makes you light up every room you walk into and everywhere you go. You become like the Eiffel Tower light show at midnight on New Year's Eve: Unforgettably electrifying. En-JOY!
This is an excerpt from a new release coming this Fall entitled, Life -- Lust & Love, Shared Secrets from a Seasoned Woman.
