Lightmaker Book Club

Hey guys!

I was thinking about what kind of new content I wanted to make for you so naturally my thoughts wandered over to, “what is the one truth bomb I wish I could tell everyone who follows me or is inspired by what I have created but doubts whether they could do it themselves?”

The biggest success hack that people don’t talk nearly enough about is actually rather unromantic, it’s not magical or mystifying and yet it’s the NUMBER ONE reason I see people let their dreams slip away from them year after year.

You must put your DREAMS on your to-do list. 

Yeah, yeah, yeah — but I have a full time job, kids, lots of errands, my family is super demanding, I’m still in college, etc etc etc. I have heard it all. I have lived a lot of it. I had five jobs at one point when I was starting my business, I had two jobs once it was up and running and even now I have so many different offerings and time commitments but I am still out here chipping away at my dreams. 

Truth is, I am not special. I just do something most people would rather make excuses about, I put my dreams on my To Do list. I recorded this vlog below as a PSA, a rally call and tough love, truth bomb filled heart to heart because I want you to get all the juice this life has to offer you. Watch below and let me know what you are committing to putting on your calendar.

For those of you who have a book that’s ready to be born, this a DREAM I can help you change to DONE with my LightMaker Book Birthing Group. It’s six months of guidance, accountability and the step by step tools to finishing that proposal, making headway on those chapters and securing an agent or publishing contract if that’s what your set on or finding a self-publishing company if that’s your style. The second and final round starts April 1st, so read all the details here and email me ASAP if you want in!

 

Let’s take this from DREAMing to DOing!

This vlog is real and unfiltered – a day in the life – how I juggle (or don’t) work while traveling for business. It’s the end of the first day of the Garden of Life Blogger Summit here in Palm Beach, FL and I’m laying out the realness on what it looks like when you travel a lot for work and have tons of emails, clients and projects to work on! Let me know your thoughts and questions in the comments below.

I’ll be in NYC 5/27 for my Go Big Shine Bright meditation workshop and talk, I hope to see you there OR you can order the workshop online to watch from wherever! RSVP here: http://gobigshinebright.splashthat.com

8-hour-diet-book
It’s been a while since my last Skinny Chick Book Club post but I felt compelled to tell you about my latest read! After flipping through the pages of Women’s Health magazine at the gym, I was completely intrigued with this new 8 hour diet concept (aka intermittent fasting) and just had to buy the full book on amazon ASAP! I’m down about 5-7lbs since I started but let me say I do not have much weight to lose and I could easily see this helping people lose even more weight relatively effortlessly.

In a nutshell, we eat too many hours of the day and therefore not giving our body enough time to burn our energy stores or do some much needed cellular repairs. So by eating for only 8 hours of the day, at least 3-5 times a week, we can help our body return to its optimal health and fat burning potential. The benefits are too many to lost but its safe to say it extends way beyond mere weight loss. Think helping new skin cells regenerate, slowing cancer cell growth and protecting your brain against neurodegenerative disorders!

I simply had to give it a whirl! I will warn you, if your a breakfast lover like myself it is not easy to give that up but after a few days I got used to having my morning cup of tea and waiting till noon to break my fast. I also definitely felt it on the opposite end, after my eight hours were up a few nights I was pretty hungry and very regretful of not eating more for dinner. However, compared to most “diets” it’s relatively painless and effective, you never feel like a food is “off limits”, which is great. Definitely give this book a read! It has tons of scientific evidence to back up its theories and loads of additional nutritional information about different foods that you should be squeezing into your eight hours to get optimal performance out of your body! An overall a Go Sweet and Skinny gold star!
