I watched Limitless last night because I was intrigued to see what Hollywood could do with the idea of having total awareness.  The eye candy was SO worth it (YEAH!!), but oh my, they should have called the movie Limited!!  Imagine having total knowing of everything, in effect, total consciousness... and then only choosing to make a heap of money on Wall Street and then run for President with your new found fame!  Please!!!  What else is possible here???

I was astonished by the incredibly limited view of 'success' presented.  It is no wonder we all make ourselves so pathetic, small and limited when that is all that we have to aspire to!!  For many people I know, targets like that are so uninspiring that it would be more fun to stay in bed!

I am hugely grateful that the movie did get me thinking though... and the question I've been asking myself this morning is... if my life were totally unlimited, what could it look like?  Actually, I'm going to write my own (somewhat more creative!) movie script around this, because I KNOW so much more is possible!!

On the weekend I finished reading Jacqueline Novogratz's memoir "The Blue Sweater" her story about bringing new and different perspectives to eradicating poverty and enabling philanthropy to make a measurable difference.  Ms Novogratz is a wonderful real life example of being unlimited, asking a whole lot of questions and seeing what else could be possible!      Would you be willing to start searching out role models who have a totally different perspective on living and what is possible?

So my question for you today is... if money wasn't the issue, what would you choose to create, change and generate in the world?  When more of us look at the possibilities that are outside of what is presented as 'the answer'  and outside of what this reality sees as valuable, we can start to change what is....

So what do you KNOW inside of you that if you created it could totally change the world?  Yes folks, this does go beyond a vision board of stuff that other people think is the ants pants -  we are looking for your BIG vision!  What could create bliss in this world that doesn't yet exist???

I have just spent four blissful days at an advanced Access Consciousness class in Brisbane where we laughed non-stop.  Change is totally joyful and blissful if we are willing for it to be lighter than a feather touch! 

Just when I thought I had finished with the being/doing conundrum I have been exploring over the past few months... up popped days of playing with the energy of this!  And in the willingness to explore it further I made a beautiful discovery. 

Access founder Gary Douglas says "Being is the capacity to create a totally different reality just by BEing you."  Now I know I already do this.  I know I can change what is, just by being present with people and having the willingness for change to occur... but what I didn't see (and what I am sure you never see for yourself either!) is how much potency we have in just BEing ALL that we are.

I am so deeply grateful to Gary for reflecting back to me the truth of the energy I BE... what I felt in those moments was indescribable...and it changed my entire universe in an instant.

I saw that there was nothing to judge in me, but plenty to be in allowance of.  I saw the immensity of my BEing and the infinite possibilities of allowing myself to be unlimited.  I saw that everything I require is already within me. I saw the pure joy and love that we all have wrapped up so tightly inside... and I saw the possibilities for the world if I was to be vulnerable enough to BE this beautiful energy without hiding. 

I am not sure what else to say except WOW! 

We are all so much greater than this reality would have us believe.  We are all so much greater than we are willing to see.  So what would it take for each of us to start shining that greatness into the world with a brightness and lightness that could transform anything, create anything and BE anything we choose? We are the gold and the change we are seeking...

If you have been wondering how to step up, know the time is now and the only thing you need to 'DO' is BE YOU!  Without limitation, without shame, without doubt.  If you are here now, you have a contribution to make.  If you are reading this know there are no mistakes... your time is now.  Would you hold my hand, take that first tiny step and invite the world to experience the brilliance of you?

When I came across this video, all I could think was wow, wouldn't it be fun to create 'works of art' like this and leave them in unexpected places?



The music is a bach cantata and this is actually an advert for a wooden mobile phone... sometimes advertising can be fun!

(Found via The Fox is Black... home of awesomeness in art & design!)

My head is spinning.  Six long deep insightful extraordinary conversations in less than a week and more on the way...  I feel like Alice in Wonderland… my exploration of just Being was the cake. Eating it with delight spun me into the rabbit-hole.  Now I’m in an awesome wonderland of possibilities I had no idea existed just a week ago. WOW, how does it get even better than that?

If you’ve met me, you’ll know I love a good conversation.  I love exploring new possibilities, discovering more about the mysteries of the universe and what else is possible...  Love creating new ideas out of serendipitous moments, casual encounters and conscious collaborations.  This is my idea of bliss – in living and business.

Last week all of that and more showed up like a waterfall after a storm, washing away the old debris and cascading a flow of awareness beyond my imagination.  Ideas are falling together with ease. Connections are showing up as lightly as a butterfly floats from flower to flower.  There has been much joy, laughter and awesome aha moments… the path into wonderland truly is bliss!

I started BlissTribe knowing it was demanding to exist, but not knowing what it was, what it was to create and generate or what it looked like in a tangible sense (yes I know you are probably thinking that’s pretty strange for a business coach who can see connections in everything!!).  I didn’t even know why the name… I just had a knowing that the name was perfect…

For almost twelve months I have found it difficult to put into words and impossible to explain my vision – I could feel the magic of it but it was still very intangible.  So I’ve been playing with what it feels like, but not really knowing what it is… that creative, out of control ‘what else is possible?’ energy has become very familiar in the past year!

Each of us has turning points where nothing will ever be the same in our lives. These conversations have delivered that beyond measure for me. The missing pieces of the puzzle were delivered with ease and I am standing on the highest mountaintop in wonderland, seeing paths connect in the most perfect of ways!  Like an oil painting, the layers are forming a vision way beyond what I first imagined.

When we choose to step up into our potency, our being and our joy, the universe delivers infinite possibilities.  This week I felt to connect with people that feel good to me, that felt aligned to my (previously unexplainable) vision, even though on the surface I wasn’t at all clear what the connection was in most cases.

These conversations were full of joy, freely and naturally exploring our individual projects and ideas from the energy of “what can we contribute and how can we collaborate?” This expansive curiosity has delivered the most stunning ideas, possibilities and potentials for creating new adventures for all of us. I’ll share more on the tangible outcomes as they start to take shape!

The essence of this experience is one we can all have if we choose.  If you are willing to be the energy of the awesome project you desire to bring into the world (even if you don’t know what it looks like yet), you will attract a buzz of people who want to taste the essence of your special nectar.  

When you are willing to explore possibilities without having a point of view about there needing to be a purpose or an outcome, just having conversations and connections for the joy of it, you are BEing the essence of your business or project and you are tapping into the space of oneness where we are all connected.  It is this that creates the magic.  Go forth into the world and create more than you ever dreamed possible… when you BE the flow, the doing becomes effortless!  It really is as simple as ‘What’s next?’

How much more joy can we all create in our beautiful world by playing with the infinite possibilities that await if we choose?  If you could have anything in your life, what would you choose?  Choice creates everything.  NOW is the time! You are an infinite BEing, with unlimited possibilities… what bliss will you invite into your playground of possibilities?

Conversations like these allow you to remember who you truly BE and to have awareness of everything you know deep in your being… they allow you to perceive more about what’s possible and they allow you to receive gifts of awareness and gratitude from people that love you more than you can ever imagine…

Do you remember how satisfying that feeling of discovery and connection is to your soul? What if you could choose that every day? Focus on BEing and this energy will arrive in your life with ease.  We are one with everything… there is nothing that is impossible.

(With thanks to the many gorgeous people who shared these luscious conversations with me... you know who you are!!)

I’ve been moving house for what feels like weeks now and the whole adventure is wearing a little thin!!  One of the simple tools I’ve been using whenever things aren’t working out as they could is to ask “Will this still matter in two years?”.  In virtually all cases, the answer is no and this puts everything into perspective very quickly!

This simple question has allowed me to skim across the waves of other people’s stuff rather than getting all caught up in the moment by moment stresses and strains that seem to occur in our lives when it is least convenient!

When you don’t buy the conventional points of view about how important, how significant and how essential it is that ‘……X……’ occurs, happens now, is changed or rearranged, then you can live in a peacefully purposeful  way.  

This simple approach is so much easier than living the trauma and drama that other people would prefer you to live because it makes their life right, meaningful or important in some way!  When you refuse to engage in the trauma and drama, people are left with their own ‘stuff’ to play with… and your life becomes peaceful and purposeful because you are focused on the bigger picture.

Same applies at work.  If you want to be effective, focus on what will make the biggest difference in the long term rather than what other people are making significant!  Making things significant is a recipe for creating limitations, sidetracking and sabotage!  Is that what you truly want to choose?

Your choices, however small, change the world in immeasurable ways (YAY!). Go be more of yourself today and have fun creating a more joyful, peaceful world ;-)   Choosing bliss is that simple!!

Sending you all infinite love!

On the weekend I was reading Donald Trump’s book “Why We Want You To Be Rich.”  What is most impressive about the Don (besides that haircut!) is his capacity to think bigger than BIG!  His success has been due to always targeting the most phenomenal vision he could imagine – not the one he thought he could actually achieve!

Lately I’ve been getting lots of subtle messages from the Universe about thinking bigger.  It’s got to the point where I can’t ignore it anymore so I’m starting to ask lots of questions about the possibilities…
•   What if creating and generating really big ideas could be infinitely blissful?
•   What if living a really big, impactful, unlimited life could create more bliss than living a small and limited life?
•   What if this was all totally out of control and it could grow in a zillion more ways than I can imagine right now?
•   What if the perfect people to create all of this magic were to show up with ease?
•   What if all of this was really, really fun and playful and didn’t even feel like work at all?

So often we get overwhelmed by bigness… what if it was easier and more fun than smallness? Do you think the Don had a great time designing the golden Trump Tower in New York?  I get the feeling that most people who are playing really big are actually having a lot more fun than we imagine, even when things get tricky!

What would your most phenomenal life look like?  Take a lazy hour or so to design the life you truly desire then start asking the questions above… you may be surprised by what starts to show up!  Of course, if you don’t want a more blissful life, please don’t do this… you wouldn’t want anything to change would you??

And if you have inklings of your big vision... feel free to share it below!  And remember to ask for any help you are looking for... your BlissTribe all have connections you know!!

Choose bliss...
