Hope REVO

I wrote about a wonderful initiative by an amazing person over at my other blog, Affirmawords.  This is so cool I just had to share it with you.

Hope REVO
Go to this site immediately.  This is a great example of the power of words to encourage, empower and inspire people.  Krystyn started Hope REVO to encourage others and start a HOPE revolution.  My kind of woman.  Krystyn is one of my new heroes because she's spreading the message of hope JUST BECAUSE she believes it's important to encourage, inspire others.

Hope REVO Goes to Rwanda
It inspires me when simple acts of kindness, like Krystyn's, grow into something bigger.  The philsophy behind Hope REVO is expanding into Rwanda.  Please click here to read more as Krystyn explains everything way better than I can.  The power of one small act, the power of words to make great change is amazing.  Be amazed and inspired by reading about Hope REVO Going to Rwanda.

Designing a Life You Love: Green Baby!

In the spirit of living a life you love, today I talked with a truly remarkable man named David Kaufer. David is the creator and visionary behind a couple of really cool websites: GreenForGood and GreenPowerBabyShower.

First, I would be remiss in not disclosing that I am honored to be the current Green Hero on the Green For Good site. If you want to check out the article about what we're doing to do our part, please take a peek - and check out the site while your there.

Second, rest assured that this has nothing to do with why I wanted to write about David. I am writing because A) he has 2 yr old twin boys - instantly making him a remarkable human B) He has an appreciation of great design and the graphic designer in me applauds the GreenPower Baby Shower site for being so elegant and lovely, and C) David understands the power of intentionality and focus. Choosing to be in service of all things green AND all things baby is one pretty cool niche!

And I love people who set their sights, grounded in their heart, that go for it! Clearly David fits the bill.

So, are you a green-minded mommy in the Seattle area? Do you know a mommy who'd like to hang out with other northwest green moms? Please check out the luncheon that's a part of GreenPower Baby Shower, and hear keynote Dr Alan Greene speak!

While you're there on May 3rd, say hello to David -  a shining example of how to design a life you love.

The Abundant Living Institute Retreat Weekend!

It's not often that I talk about my mentors, or share what they are up to in the world. But today I decided that this opportunity simply needed to be shared. Some of the most powerful experiences I've had personally and professionally have come from someone choosing to share with me. So here goes!

Terri Levine, The Guru of Coaching, is a friend and mentor who I think you'll like to know. Among being an inspiration, a savvy business owner (like me she believes in prospering while fulfilling your heart's desire) and a world renown coach, she also in the founder of the Abundant Living Institute.

No kidding, when Terri shares with me what she's got in the works, I feel like I need to get my behind in gear! (But I digress).

Here's what cooking. The next Abundant Living Institute retreat weekend is in PA June 6th to 8th.
Consider giving yourself this gift. Three days with extraordinary people, committed to living a fabulous, loving, abundant, luscious life - what could be better!?

Here's to living a life you love!
