An Update!

October 11, 2011 – 11:20 pm

I’ve a quick update to share with you.

I remember that for many, many years, I found myself feeling I was in the ‘wrong’ job. One friend even described me as a pinball machine! Always trying new things and always seeking something that make my heart sing. Have you ever felt like that? Something always told me that I was happiest when I was working with women, empowering them to step up and go for it (I spent years in the recruitment industry)!

Now, I know as a womens life coach and mentor, nothing gives me a greater feeling than witnessing my clients own transformations; it’s just the best feeling and I feel so privilaged to work with my clients. If you’re still struggling to find your ‘thing’ let me know, I maybe able to support you with that!

As with all things creative, my business is organic, it’s taking it’s own shape. I want to let you know that I’ve chosen to drop the Daring Damsels branding and use my own name. So my website will reflect this soon! And Fab Friends Network will have it’s own unique site – and I can’t wait to share that with you! Both will be launched very soon.

My vision a few years ago was to create a worldwide supportive network for women and I’m so excited that new Fab Friends Network groups will be opening early next year around the UK – reaching more ladies who want to feel more fabulous, who want more from life, who are ready to ignite their passions and belong to a peer group of supportive women who will encourage them to step up and go for it!

As you know, High Wycombe Fab Friends group, is soon to have a sister group Basingstoke Fab Friends, based in Sherfield on Loddon which launches this week – on Thursday 13th in the evening! If your name isn’t on the guest list and would like to come along, there are still a few free places – just email me. Find more information at www.fabfriendsnetwork.com

Have you been to a Fab Friends meeting? Watch this 2 minute video to see what 3 fabulous ladies said last week as they left the High Wycombe group they did make me giggle!

So that’s all for now, I just wanted to keep you in the loop!

Have a great week and I hope to speak with you soon.

Do send me an email or call me on 07702 591288 if you’d like more information or if I can support you on your life journey.

Wishing you happiness

Fab Friends Network, High Wycombe – August 2011

August 8, 2011 – 7:32 pm

Wow! Despite the fact that most of the meet up groups and networking groups shut down for August, we had a great turn out at Fab Friends with new members joining!

It was a sweltering day and my naturally curly hair took on it’s own shape as the meeting progressed in the heat! We’re all about being ‘real’ and authentic at Fab Friends, so it’s all good!

We were joined by the gorgeous Rachael Beesley who came along to share with us how she uses EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to support clients to break through challenges, gain better health, attract what they want into their life and so much more. Rachael has a very natural and gentle approach and generously offered to give the group a demonstration. The lucky lady who’s name was pulled out of the hat had been challenged with a situation that for some time had been slowing her down. It was blocking her energy and really consuming her thoughts, she was pretty fed up. Through Rachael’s guidence – repeating Rachaels words, and tapping on the meridian lines this wonderful Fab Friends member had a huge break through. From being a 10/10 feeling consumed by this situation, she dropped to a ’2′ after 10 minutes and a few moments later was at a ’0′! How fantastic is that?

During the tapping all at Fab Friends followed the instructions and tapped along. We all felt so much calmer, more relaxed – in fact we didn’t do our usual meditation at the end! We didn’t need to! Latest news is that the lady who openly stepped into her truth and generously allowed us to watch the demonstation, continues to feel the benefit and is feeling so much more empowered in her situation.

A big thank you to Rachael Beesley!

Our next meeting is on Wednesday 7th September at the Rose and Crown, Saunderton, High Wycombe – go to the web page www.fabfriendsnetwork.com for more information. Your first visit is free! We will be joined by Helen Shrimpton, a healer and teacher who will be sharing with us the magical powers of crystals and how they can be used in everyday life for healing and so much more. Why not give yourself the morning off and come along and join us? Let me know you’re coming by emailing me ali@daringdamsels.com.

Fab Friends Network, High Wycombe – July

August 8, 2011 – 6:57 pm

We had such a wonderful time at Fab Friends in July. We were joined by top personal stylist Jo Haley of www.newreflections.biz. Jo share with us some brilliant tips for colour, style, shape and how to give our wardrobes the once over!

Isn’t it amazing how many clothes we have in our dressing area that we don’t like, don’t wear, don’t fit us, we’ve never worn or remind us of an occasion we’d rather not remember! One of Jo’s tips was to have a good clear out and keep what will make us feel inspired or just feel good when we get up and swing open the wardrobe doors in the morning.

She shared with us how so many of us have forgotten to trust in our own clothing choices, swayed by the media, the latest trend, what our friends are liking – or not liking. It’s time to try on clothes that flatter us and raise our spirit. If it feels good, you feel sassy and ‘sexy’ or loungey and comfy – then go for it!

I recorded a bit of video I’ d love to share with you – check out what some of our members are saying about Fab Friends!

Have You Said Hello To Your Inner Child Lately?

April 25, 2011 – 9:00 am

Have you enjoyed spending time with children lately? Isn’t it just wonderful how they see the world and apart from tidying their rooms they find fun in almost anything?

They are playful, using their powerful imagination, they have a sense of wonder, excitement, are open minded, laugh freely and cry freely too! They love to sing, dance, learn new things and would charge down the high street making silly noises if they felt like it. They live in the moment most of the time and are freely living their truth.

Have you noticed that once we begin to develop a sense of responsibility passed to us from our families and society there come ‘rules’. Where does the fun go? Life is supposed to be fun.

Is it time to connect to your inner child again? Time to feel free to just be you? Time to play, to wonder with the eyes of an inquisitive child again? Make time to laugh and add as much fun into every day as you can. How can you make a chore a bit more exciting? How could you see it differently? What could you do just for fun today? It could take practice if you’re out of the habit; so choose to consciously make time to just let go and enjoy yourself in this moment.

Thought for today: I found this quote on a birthday card with a glorious picture of some women holding down their skirts whilst laughing their heads off on a 1950s fairground ride, it said:

“Never put off until tomorrow the fun you can have today.” Aldous Huxley (1894 – 1955)

Wishing you so much happiness

You Are The Miracle!

April 18, 2011 – 9:00 am

What a treat I was given the other day! I was invited to a girl friend’s house for coffee. She is taking care of a young girl who had just had the most gorgeous baby.

What a perfect little bundle of joy he is. His tiny fingers with beautiful nails, his deep sparkling blue eyes opening occasionally to see the world he has just joined, his soft skin and pulled up knees, little gurgling sounds… oh he is just gorgeous! What a miracle he is. When you think how the human body can grow and nurture new life – without us having to project manage the 9 months, it really is miraculous.

And once the baby is born everyone coos, smiles, compliments and says what a miracle – don’t you? So when does it happen then?

When do we stop being the miracle baby and become ‘just’ me? You are the miracle, you always have been – you always will be. What new value could you place on your life remembering this?

It really is time to step up out of your comfort zone and embrace the world with new eyes, knowing that you are loved, respected, valued and more than enough already – exciting times!

Quote of the day: “There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein

Wishing you so much happiness

What Are You Grateful For Which Is Yet To Come?

April 11, 2011 – 9:00 am

Wow, what a great response to the last blog about feeling grateful. It’s always wonderful to get feedback, I feel so grateful. I received messages of gratitude for family, new jobs, good health, pay rise and also for these messages.

I was given a Gratitude Journal last year by my mentor. It is a merchandise product from The Secret and I’ve found writing in it a wonderful experience. I write what I am grateful for now and on the opposite page there is space for writing what I am grateful for in the future – and write from my heart as if I already have/experience it.

It can feel strange saying “I am so grateful for the beautiful beach house which overlooks the sea” when I do not already have it – the amazing thing is, I’ve found it crystallises my dreams, and I go with the flow of what I’m feeling in that moment. It doesn’t matter if I repeat over and over the same feelings of gratitude because as you know, where focus goes, energy flows – ie, you get what you focus on! And it feels FABULOUS!

Go on, try it and let me know how that feels for you. Focus and celebrate your future now. Keep a Gratitude Journal and find some time each day (or every few days) – you’ll be amazed at the results you are getting – and the feelings it creates inside of you!

Quote of the day: “Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.” Brian Tracy

News Flash: I have space for just 2 new clients this month (Open to ladies in the UK and overseas – via Skype).

Message me now if you feel ready to step up and find out more about getting the life you know you deserve – be quick, these places will be filled quickly!

Wishing you so much happiness

What Are You Grateful For Today?

April 4, 2011 – 9:00 am

What are you feeling grateful for today?

If it’s true that you get what you focus on, when was the last time you connected your thoughts to your heart and really felt gratitude for what you already have?

When times feel tough it is easy to forget how many magical things are happening, for the roof over your head, the food in your fridge, perhaps your friends and family, for your health, eyes to read this message, ears to hear fabulous music….

When we feel gratitude at a deep level we release wonderful naturally produced chemicals into our blood stream… these lift our spirits, relax us and make smiling a pleasure. When you find yourself feeling stressed. Stop for a moment, breath, take 5 minutes out to think and more importantly ‘feel’ really feel the feelings of gratitude.

Try just saying ‘Thank you’ twenty times in the morning and feeling the waves of gratitude wash over you – it’s fabulous!

Quote of the day: “The single greatest thing you can do to change your life today would be to start being grateful for what you have right now. And the more grateful you are, the more you get.” Oprah Winfrey

Love or Rage Which Would You Choose?

March 28, 2011 – 9:00 am

Have you ever felt like you could self combust with rage? I know I have. When things just seem to keep going wrong? Like the domino effect, one thing triggers the next…. Arrrggghhhh!

Once you find yourself sliding down this slippery pathway to a meltdown it seems the only thing to do is just keep on sliding, doesn’t it? Saying “I knew that was going to happen”… and it usually does.

This is where things can change. I can now do it, and I know you can too.

So what is ‘it’? Well, ‘it’ is love. Love is the greatest feeling of all wouldn’t you agree? If you’re feeling love in your heart and body – is it possible to be in a rage at the same time? I don’t think so. They are at opposite ends of the emotional spectrum, aren’t they? You get what you focus on so choose carefully – happiness or anger/frustration?

Rather continuing down the path way to complete meltdown and rage try these 7 tips:

STOP. Take a moment to acknowledge how you are feeling and focus on your breathing. Decide to take a few moments out for yourself.
Gain some perspective on the situation. Is it really as you imagine/find it or is there another way of looking at it? Could you be kinder to yourself in this moment than you are currently being?
Depending on where you are or what your circumstance continue to focus on your breathing, close your eyes if it is safe to do so… imagine you are breathing in love, imagine seeing the beautiful colours of love being drawn towards you and circulating around your heart, maybe see butterflies and bubbles.
Breathe out all the frustration.
Focus on a better feeling thought – love. Perhaps someone you love and focus your thoughts on some of the qualities within that person or remember back to a time when you felt so happy, so full of laughter. Focus on those thoughts for a few moments and allow yourself the time to refocus on positive feelings and thoughts.
Give yourself the gift of a smile and let go.
Relax your tense muscles and open your eyes to a more positive reality.

Quote of the day: “For every minute you are angry, you lose sixty seconds of happiness.” Author Unknown

Have You Watched Sex and The City?

March 21, 2011 – 9:00 am

Have you watched first Sex and the City film? There was one line that I remember so clearly. The character Samantha was breaking up with her long term boyfriend Smith and uttered these immortal lines “I love you, but I love me more”.

She loved him but she knew in her heart that it wasn’t right and that in order to be true to herself, ended the relationship.

I wonder how many of us live life pleasing others whilst ignoring our inner calling. Some of us do this in relationships, some in their work… have you done this too?

The other day I heard a lady saying “Secrets are like shadows on the heart”. Are you living your truth? When you can be honest with yourself, what do you know is your truth? When will be the right time to step up out of your comfort zone and into your truth? Is it too scary to contemplate this alone? Would it be easier if you had someone to hold your hand and keep you on track?

I am offering a complimentary 30 minute clarity telephone/Skype coaching sessions to 5 ladies who are ready to step into their truth. If you are ready to gain some clarity, email me with ‘Clarity Session’ in the subject line. Last time I made an offer the spaces were snapped up quickly, so let me know now if you’d like one! ali@daringdamsels.com

Quote of the day: “For me the greatest beauty always lies in the greatest clarity.” Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

Wishing you clarity in your life
