One of my guilty pleasures on a cold winter weekend is to settle in and hold my own private classic romance movie marathon.  These gut-wrenching, heart-warming tales of regret, love lost and love found, still move me to tears no matter how many times I watch them. 

No matter what the era, the classics usually come full circle and the boy gets the girl in the end.  Love triumphs, and everyone lives happily ever after.  I like happy endings.  Life is meant to be full of happy endings.

I recently watched the newest remake of the movie “Jane Eyre” starring Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender.  One of my favorite lines in the movie occurs when Mr. Rochester first speaks to Jane, the newly hired governess, and asks her “And from whence do you hail? What's your tale of woe? All governesses have a tale of woe. What's yours?”

As women, so many of us have our own ‘tale of woe’ that surfaces periodically.  We hang on to certain limiting beliefs so long that we actually start believing them to be true.  These limiting beliefs keep us from being fully present in life.  They keep us from experiencing the happy endings and new beginnings life has in store for us.

It’s time for a new paradigm shift for women entrepreneurs, experts, and leaders for finding your Voice, your Strength, and the Beauty of your Purpose as a heart-centered, spiritual woman in business, or a leader in the community.

Becoming a leader of change for the next generation of women will require a reverse engineering of sorts, especially for those of us who have been a part of the masculine dominated corporate world for the past 20 years or more.  

Below are a few examples of the shifts I believe it will take to move forward and recapture the more nourishing female spirit of collaboration, community, and connection that is inherent in the most influencing women I know today:

• Weaving your business and life with compassion, cooperation, and a tenacity that transforms lives

• A new definition of feminine power, leadership and success as we bring balance back to the world

• Reconnecting to our values as woman of substance, and engaging in social transformation, one person at a time

Women who choose to emerge and engage in 2012, both in business and in life, will need to become visible as the expert, step up and find their voice, their strength, and the beauty of their purpose.  Here's how:

I recently met a very accomplished and inspiring woman, Christine Clayburg, who was giving a presentation on telling your story to the media.  She shared that in today’s crazy fast-paced world of news media & social media you really only have 4 seconds to get the attention of your audience, and a minute and a half to entertain, inform, and inspire them.  In short, 4 seconds to change the world.

I believe the same is true for entrepreneurs.  You have 4 seconds to draw in your audience of clients and prospective clients, and a minute and a half to entertain, inform, and inspire them to want to seek you out, learn more about who you are and how you can serve them by solving a specific problem or need. You have 4 seconds to change the world with your message of hope and service to those you are called to connect with, and here’s how:

I’m going through some exciting shifts in my business right now, and even though things on the outside appear to be moving forward, I noticed recently there were some things on the inside that were bubbling up and creating some anxiety and unrest in my soul.   I decided that I needed to take some time off to dig a little deeper and find out why I was feeling what I was feeling.

In my unique process, The Sparkle Effect, the first principle I teach about Mindset & Marketing Secrets is to Spend time alone Unlocking Your Truth.  I needed to take my own advice and Unlock my Truth to figure out what was going on with my mindset that was holding me back from stepping forward on my next big adventure.

One of the projects I am working on right now will require me to become more visible, transparent, and outspoken as I refine my message and prepare to boldly share my expertise with a wider audience.  Normally, being outspoken wouldn’t scare me at all, but this time was different.  After a lot of reflection, I had cleared my mind from all the daily clutter of running a business, and was able to hold the space open for my heart to be free to express what was going on deep down in my soul.

Taking the time and space necessary to reflect on these feelings, I suddenly realized that the anxiety I was feeling was coming from a place deep inside that still held an open wound from a previous position I had resigned from a few years ago.  That was one of the most hurtful life events I have ever experienced.

Dream Big!  Dreams Inspired by God, Empowered by the Holy Spirit

Do you remember the hopes and dreams you had when you were younger?  Do you feel that some of those dreams have slipped away and it’s too late to pursue something your heart has longed for?

It’s not too late.  Don’t ever give up on your dream’s.  You may have to take those dreams off the shelf and dust them off a little, but God is still on the throne, and He is waiting for you to Dream Big!  If you’re not sure whether God has given you a big dream to walk out with your life purpose, read on.

God gives you your big life purpose dreams in a variety of ways.  Abundant dreams.  Big Dreams.  The God of the Universe, who created all things beautiful, would like nothing better than to see you dream big.   He wants to see you take your life dreams from ordinary to extraordinary.  Don’t settle for anything less!

Here are three ways that God might choose to give you a sneak peek into your dreams or desires*:

Perseverance- Defending the Dream to get your Breakthrough Part I

We all have dreams of doing great things for the kingdom and each of our individual dreams, or Life Purpose, matter.

In order to fulfill the plans and purposes of God, I believe that we each need to discover our own individual kingdom purpose and dreams because they are all connected to God’s master plan for us as a body of Christ followers.

We need to be intentional about finding and living out our purpose, and never give up. 

From my own experience it is easy to give up and grow weary of the battle, but that is exactly what the enemy wants from us because he knows we are close to our breakthrough.  I’m not giving up and neither should you!
