YOU WANT TO FLOW
WITH THE UNIVERSE.
SO ORGANIZE IT.
We want to flow. We want to be like liquid moving in our daily, hustling life. And we can sense when instead we merely trickle into our work, our projects, our lives. It’s in the painful resistance when writing down a new concept, the tension of pressure that contradicts self-love, the day when everything collapses, the printer goes on strike while you’re trying to deliver on lifelines (ahem, my new word for deadlines) and unhealthy finances that continue to break down the world’s economy.
Let’s talk cosmically. The universe is a pattern of life-organized dynamics, a prevailing and self-organized flow. It’s intrinsic blossoming. The rhythm lives within. Every other person owes her/his rhythm, their every idea, every project, every motion to it. Everything has roots in a universal flow. Everything.
New think-in demands new habits. Life has learned to learn and adapt with the flow. So must we.
Float on.
The universal flow is mysteriously formed. It came Before. The silence of the blank, waiting alone and without expectation. Ever so present. The mother of all creations. Let’s call it life.
Knowing her greatness she flows. Far. Always coming home. The Mother of all Mothers returned.
The greatness is her secret of sharing. We go after fulfillment on Earth. Earth strives for the fulfillment of Heaven. Heaven strives for the fulfillment of life. Life goes for what is natural.
Ideas flow openly.
Embody the rhythm.
The outflow of God is his will manifested in our expressed qualities.
New think-in about tension
(because ideas come from God):
The law of generosity says: tension is part of the natural flow of creation. When liquid assets from Heaven flow into us, they rub against our body and blood. This friction cocktail is needed to inspire communication with our bodies. First it flows through our bloodline and veins and awakens us. Before we go into motion, we first have to embody the prophesy. Flow is manifestation, naturally.
Ideas + blood flow = circulated greatness.
New think-in about pain (because fire comes from God):
The law of vastness says: pain is a vision from God of lost horizons. Ideas are fire. Daydreams are creative flow, causing us to embark upon the endless sky. We burn until we set our pain free to return to the source.
So pain is life’s recovery under fire. Pain is the movement of our soul against stingy timidity, bigotry, narrow-mindedness. We roast till we are free to flow with the divine.
fire + vision = awakened greatness.
New think-in about leadership
(because guidance comes from God):
The law of bliss says: all rivers end in the ocean. The river implicitly knows his destination. I learn the freedom of leadership from the river. I understand mutual leadership in leading and being lead. In one way the river need not think about his destination. The ocean cares for it (i.e., the Law of Attraction). The river cares only for the current, its currency.
Freedom is knowing when to give up to a higher source and when to lead. The nature of pain is freedom and liberation, the sweet pain of the mercy of surrender, the bondage of devotion, the dependence of happiness, being injured by love, abused by grace.
receive + share = enlightened leadership.
“We are seeds of the endless devotional flow buried into Earth to grow and awaken as lovers without boundaries.” – Agni
Now let’s flow.
MY HANDMADE EXERCISE FOR LIVING THE FLOW. FOR YOU.
The liquid teacher
Put your hands on your heart, palms facing inwards and feel the rhythm of your heart. Feel the rhythm of the parts where you want more flow. Feel the existing flow there. Do not measure or change it. It may feel fluid or stuck. That is your status quo.
Check in with:
Your private life.
Your biz life.
Your body life.
The life of your current project.
Now have a look on the list below and find the medicine words that will unplug the flow.
Then add one or more of the words to each bullet below. Trust your first choice.
Listen to the story it wants to tell you. Honor the words’ advice.
Your private life: __________________
Your biz life: __________________
You body life: __________________
The life of your current project: __________________
The list of medicine words*:
*(This is my personal check-in list when I ask a dammed flow to release. The word itself teaches me what will heal the flow.)

1. Feel into the new word.
2. Let it flow: Escape into an open horizon of freedom.
3. Feel the escaping emotion. This is the sensation of your pain set free.
4. Dive into the open horizon of possibility. Its rivers run like the promise of an endless blue sky.

BE A MASTER.
DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS.
We want to master the work that we do. Masters of the new energy are ready to rock. We make business and our livelihoods by leaving our monastic robes beyond. The masters of the Aquarian Age are human and characterized by passionate living. We are softly in love with divine connections and an integral part of tender communities. We are working on the metamorphosis; we transform ourselves. We know it only requires one real master to shift the world into universal oneness.
Excellence is a target. Our soul returns towards enlightenment. It’s natural. Never give up the magic WOW.
Multidimensional breathed-on business.
Master what you do.
Start with the heart.
Plant lovemarks.
Create lovebusiness.
Establish lovemarkets.
Allure with lovemarketing.
Enter the secret chamber where you will find:
And get the Manifesto for mastering your creative evolution, your divine plan and “Allure: The law of Fascination.” Listen and download. It’s free.
Challenge yourself.
Yes, mediocrity plods forward. It’s her nature. But the mastery of greatness requires courage and willingness to be brave. Aren’t the people to whom we owe a great step towards enlightened greatness the ones who forced us to our edges? Looking back on our history we remember that the one who demanded most from us, we respect most.
We may not always appreciate it in the moment, but greatness requires courage and willingness to be brave. The Steve Jobs’ of the world who deemed every mediocre draft shit and in so doing forged the products we caress today for their excellence. The chef yelling at us when she smelled our refusal to rise. The teacher pitching our little ego and telling us that our way of communicating drives him crazy.
Conflict is the creative abrasion necessary for innovation. The metric of progress is mastered by ability rather avoidance. Conflict is a channel for energy, a vital part of organisms and teams.
If we want to change the world we need to find the master in one another. Everyone we meet may play a part in our mastery, because confrontation is the guardian of authentic.
Speak up. Unplugged. Appreciate the art of war for the sake of greatness and great ideas. Your persistence means their survival. The WOW happens on the edges. Always.
A real master will create other masters.
A real genius respects the genius’ master teacher.
Honor the master. Honor the legacy.
This world needs more masters in all religions and politics and business. We do.

IMAGINATION.
WRITE YOUR FUTURE BOOK. NOW.
The next wave of thefemalegrail.com begins.
For you and me. For more of us.
My 2 weeks off the Internet were in eccentric bloom. You should try it from time to time, and let your inspiration wander down new alleyways. In my time away I devoured 4 books and drank in some sun, both good vitamins for the soul. Let me share with you some of my inspiration highlights.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower takes me down a side road; I love to hang out with the younger generation. For a mind holiday and mind extension, think what they think and see what they are up to. It’s an antidote for narrow-mindedness, my inspirational espionage – and fun, by the way! I really liked when Charlie comes out of the cinema considering if he liked the movie. His conclusion: it did not change him. So, no good. I like that. IT DID NOT CHANGE ME; IT CANNOT BE GOOD.
Steve Jobs.
Jay-Z said, “We were kids without fathers…so we found our fathers in wax and on streets and in history. We got to pick up and choose the ancestors who would inspire the world we were going to make for ourselves.” I am inspired. This is high voltage. A genius has to be bold in a world of stubbornness.
I bow to Mr. Steve Jobs, who said it would be easy to change the communication of the world. HE DID IT.
“There’s a temptation in our network age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat. That’s crazy. Creativity comes from spontaneous meetings, from random discussions. You run into someone, you ask what they’re doing, you say ‘wow’ and soon you’re cooking some ideas.” Mr. Jobs, we will meet again. And until then I will meet you in every corner of the Universe where inspiration thrives. Promise. We do not go to school, but we learn greedily.
Reality distortion field.
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
Think differently.
Connect the dots.
Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Daniel H. Pink
Real motivation does not want to be traded. She wants to bloom from unconditional giving without expectation.
The Universe is a Green Dragon “To begin with, you have to embrace your full creative potential.” I am so online with this. In my next life I’m going to be a cosmologist. Or maybe not. Maybe I was one in my past lives and my passion is still kindling. The Universe is a fabric of sacred woven stories. “This was a fire that filled the Universe, was the Universe. There was no place from Universe free from it. Every point of the cosmos was a point of explosion of light.” AGNI. The Upanshashades revisited.
“tadabhyadravattamabhyavadatko’ sityagnirvaahamasmityabravijjataveda va ahamasmiti”
Lord Shiva who’s in Yaksha form, asked him: “Who are you?” Agni Deva said: “I am known as Agni, I am also called Jataveda.” The fire was creative and so is every particle of The Universe. The creative class rises.
I want to make this creative fire come alive immediately. How do we calibrate our own dreams with the creative fire of the Universe and the creative fire within each of us?
I was inspired to create a program on how to forge your future biz bliss, and since I returned I have been writing Bizbliss: an online program called WRITE YOUR FUTURE BOOK.
It will launch six months from now. Consider this a first announcement.
The next wave of the the femalegrail.com.
The age of Imagination starts. Now.
The power of imagination.
Its Secret is this: every creation is dreamt twice.
OUR STORIES WERE WRITTEN FIRST IN THE UNIVERSE.
Once we dreamt in heaven; there we made the future.
IT’S TIME TO CALIBRATE OUR SOUL’S DREAMS WITH THE PRESENT. NOW IS THE TIME.
I am still convinced enlightened business is key to the change we want to see in this world. Owning the streams of money ourselves and having freedom for great choices. To master your biz is the new spiritual discipline. Serve the Universe and your soul. Create the future for a better world. Trade back. Understand desire. The enlightened ones are back for change. What we have jammed in heaven for the future, we can find today.
The second Dreaming
NOW. Planet earth. Soft. Grounded. Our magic inner GPS will unleash our visions.
What we have to do is imagine. Reignite. Light the fire of inspiration and conciseness, the keys to visualizing the uncreated world within us. We want to do it together. We want to empower each other to write our own script; it will shine with our values.
The assignments are out:
Detox so that your wishes and dreams may become free.*
(*this last passage is an adaptation of a speech Agni gave this autumn. He said: ‘Now fulfill old desires, so they may die in peace. And make space for the NEW.’ )
This is the winter of decisions. The winter of desire fulfillment. Check what you are longing for. WHY? So that you may become free.
Confront yourself with your old desires. Do they still belong to you?
Make a date with them and say: “You have longed for me for such a long time. I carried you so long. Now I will fulfill you. We both want to be free.”
See, everything we meet in life was once born as a desire. Conclude it. Close the old chapters.
Clear the way for the next right thing to come through.
Next year is the year to manifest the right thing. The vision was forged in heaven: as the old dies, the remaining holes will be filled with ourselves. To follow the right thing is truth.
The right thing does not step on the other’s feet. It permits the other one to do the right thing too.
Be free from.
Desire is limited.
The right thing
is to go your own way.
I surf on the next wave of thefemalegrail.com.
It’s good to know you are here on Earth with me in this great time.
with wild love

CLOSE UP. MIRACLES AND DRAMAS BOTH HURT.
RHHLive with Marie Forleo + Hurricane Sandy.
My live report and diary from NYC.
8.50p.m. Sunday evening, October 28:
My plane is one of the last leaving JFK. One hour later, all flights are canceled. I am pressing my nose against the window, there’s no drop of rain in sight now but Sandy is flooding the news. My mystic guidance led me to this early flight, one day before my originally scheduled departure. I am in a tunnel beyond slipping through, out of the beginning chaos.
Seeing in the dark: Instinct is the new current.
Thursday evening, October 25:
“Give me the phone. I have to talk to her,” MaRa, my friend from Jesus times, insisted when I called my love at home. It was the night before my long awaited b-school RHHlive event opened its gates. “Book a flight on Sunday. Your flight on Monday will not get out early enough before the hurricane hits.” At the moment I was thinking: But I’m gonna meet Danielle LaPorte, Kris Carr, Mastin Kipp and… I don’t want to leave earlier, I am here to party.
But the inward me listens to what she’s saying, and I book a second flight for Sunday evening.
Seeing in the dark: Instinct is the new current.
Friday, October 26:
The news is not decisive. The hurricane could creep away or blow up like a monster. I rush through the MoMa and MET in a single morning instead of the whole day Monday.
3.00p.m: A rich, sexy and hot start. I am at Donna Karan’s Urban Zen womb of humanitarian dreaming with 300 other luminescent women from all over the globe. Sandy is forgotten.
I PRAY.
I dive into the energy. Let me flow into the wholeness of possibility, where the universe and synchronicity make love. Let the things on my destiny-schedule happen. Now.
If necessary, in accelerated speed. Just in case I have to leave earlier.
I pray for compression: timezones and meant-to-be events.
Saturday, October 27:
I wake up with my message. “Imagination,” says God. Six hours later I see into the beautiful unicorn eyes of Kris Carr: “I have brought you a gift,” I tell her. She holds the golden wrapped Jesus the Book and a Christlove spray. She murmurs: “Unicorn.” We know. I turn around: There is Danielle LaPorte. We talk like we have just seen each other the other night before. “I have to leave earlier tomorrow,” says Danielle. “Try to get out before Sunday evening.” I am now sure.
Seeing in the dark: Instinct is the new current.
That night I check out and order a taxi for 4p.m. the next day. I speak to my love and he says: “You do not want to be in New York when the power is off.” No, this journey is not mine. Not this time.
Sunday, October 28:
Seeing in the dark: Instinct is the new current.
Also for bizbliss.
The speakers are high voltage. These souls have not served the status quo. They are here to start a revolution.
Marie Forleo knows to create from inside out: Intuition is her incredible success tool.
Danielle LaPorte turns success and failure into wisdom. “Temples of peace and tsunamis of love.”
Kris Carr teaches green revolutions. Cancer, go home. She created a movement into business.
Mastin Kipp: “God showed me how big my faith was, one small room with one bed.” His faith has exploded since.
RHH live. I know, even deeper.
If you want to play on that level
there is only one way.
You have to find your own way
to get there.
From imitation to creation.
Be a leader. Act as a leader.
2.00p.m: It’s time to leave. Everything is fulfilled. I have met my appointments from heaven.
3.00p.m: At my hotel, there are no cars available anymore. People are getting anxious.
5.00p.m: I arrive at JFK. My flight is on schedule.
8.00p.m knowing
Once again the words of Mary Magdalene were right when she asked me to channel her message about upcoming destruction and rebirth. (free download in 11 languages). 2012 is the contradiction. Bliss meets crisis. Thanks to MaRa I was able to walk into the middle of Sandy and walk out. We will need those who see in the dark to show where to walk unharmed, in the middle of radical change. I am one of them.
12.p.m I arrive in Tampa. Meanwhile, Sandy has taken to her way of destruction.
Thank you to MaRa for seeing in the dark.
Thank you to Marie Forleo and her team for this miraculous experience.
Epilogue:
: My friend T. got angry when I suggested that we should get out of NY because the city would not have electricity for the next days. I am tired of knowing; I am not here to frighten but to help.
: Some of the b-schoolers are still stuck in NYC. My heart is with all of you. I know you are safe and will return back home soon. I pray you find the beauty in the experience as a blessing. Something in this chaos is a divine gift.
: We are shown the signs. We must bow first before they will talk to us.

WHAT IS THE CRAZIEST IDEA YOU DREAM OF?
Sound the alarm:
the stars are in position.
HOW TO FULFILL YOUR DESTINY? asks Oprah. She has a 30-day plan for finding your true purpose.
Here is my version.
In my work with visions I have seen that the best business and life-fulfilling ideas are born in the universe. After reading the Akasha for years, I now follow the footprints of great ideas backwards. We dream in heaven, and bring our inspiration down to Earth. Great masters tap their heavenly resources: Steve Jobs was highly connected, Einstein received his solution in a dream. Great and inspired books, fashion and music are all insights powered by the divine genius. When the big and small AHA moments occur, we feel connected to something greater. We are excited and our soul knows: the sacred fire jams. We are living on purpose and we are on track to our purpose.
When you are aligned with your vision from heaven, powers are with your soul. You follow the universal bigger picture and it comes easily. When your creative fire burns, you feel soulful: powerful, passionate, free, incredibly useful, excited, inspired, one with God and the Universe. Love in action. Your favorite song keeps you going.
Vision your dream now.
Dream big. Dream bigger.
NO. Even bigger. Go. Stretch.
Dream authentic wholeness into your life.
Dream like you dreamed in heaven
before you came to earth.
Dream uninhibited and unchecked.
Dream without frontiers.
Heaven is online. When you blast through the ceiling
you are on soul level.
DIVINE TIMING
The stars are favorable. It’s a good time.
Start to think in new dimensions. Imagine a parallel world where everything is possible.
Silke Schäfer interprets the movement of the stars and their influence on our life. Let her newsletter inspire you and create real waves. The future you want to belong to is possible when you take full responsibility for your purpose.
“Pure creativity and obvious self-responsibility! In particular with a view to the year 2013 this is a remarkable time!
Turbulences, visions and miracles.
It already started wonderfully! Concurrent with the sun’s entrance into Scorpio on October 23, she activated the beautiful Neptune/Chiron-conjunction between October 23 and 28, meeting Saturn on the 25th and continuing on to Pluto until November 1. There are incredibly powerful awareness processes at work, and artistic-creative, intuitive endeavors or visions can become more frequent.
All projects that are supported by a strong desire (Neptune) can come true now. This particular stable constellation can realise (Saturn) dreams and visions (Neptune)! The two activated water signs Pisces and Scorpio allow with absolute certainty that pure potentiality is manifested. There are unprecedented opportunities in the air, making it possible to create paradises, if we have not previously given up!
Do something you’ve never done before! (Uranus in Aries) No matter if local, national or global. In the next 2.5 years it is specifically about finding our very own authenticity (Pluto in Capricorn) and leaving behind everything that we do not need for this new liveliness (Lunar Node / Saturn in Scorpio). Take full responsibility for your own talents – NOW. Then the letting becomes a dance. “… whirling, resting in my centre, I am joyfully a vibrant part of the whole …. and everything that is not centered flies away….” Now up to 2015, it is the biggest wake-up call of all time: The biggest wake-up call ever!
All previous rotten compromises can be dissolved when one acts decisively and crystal clearly. You should address your life goals NOW! And a lot of feminine energy is involved, which is supposed to be steered into a clear direction, so that healing takes place. Stop and be 100% determined. Then new doors will open.”

REAL HOT STUFF
FOR MAKING IT REAL
THE BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY
I am mesmerized by this bible of new business, ever since the first read. I am have now read it 3 times. This was written in heaven, amid alluring creation.
Imagine a business world wherein competition is irrelevant and you own the market because you created it. You navigate upon open waters of businesses success. You cross beyond market boundaries and look to new opportunities, to places of no competition for evolutionary growth. You look for other industries, products and services that do not even exist yet.
You’re painting your imagination, the craziest ideas you can dream, onto creative canvas, a place where business goals are all experimental and crafted with wide strokes. You’re creating great content and love marks, living organisms comprised of mutually beneficial relationships, and you don’t worry about how many followers you have. Reaching behind existing demand is creation. It’s the common vision.
This is the way forward. Head-to-head ruthlessness is out. We’re looking for growth and new economics is the future fuel.
Bombs for a New Age revolution.
Green grass growing between the toes of the giants.
I am about to develop meditations on how to blue strategize? Interest when it will be ripe?

Even when you cannot know the great calling and see the big picture of success, flow with the calling of the instant. It’s enough to know only the next essential steps; the universe will carry the bigger picture. The universe is your business partner amid the joy of manifesting something greater.

HOW DO VISIONS GROW FROM HEAVEN DOWN TO EARTH?
What if deadlines and “to-do-lists” are just the fossils of competition and strategic maps actually distort our control of the future?
Don’t get me wrong. Challenge is still our growth. Ambition is a fertile ground of passion. Our drive for improvement is current.
But what if the universe has a different steam of evolution?
When we try to force it, the universe usually comes up with something different. Yep.
What if daydreams, rather than deadlines, grow divine seeds?
Breeding ideas in stillness, dreaming from the infinite down to realization. What if staring senselessly into a hole in the trees and losing ourselves in the sky’s ocean of blue heavenly strategies is the source of creativity. Look, big ideas grow at the edges. When we stop wanting it all, it all begins. Vision takes shape in wild silence.
I tried it the other way. I perfected my planning tools and ran my agendas and appointments with rigorous discipline. I was on a superhero’s goal schedule. I ran this way for a month until I had to admit that I’d hit a dead end. I had nearly extinguished my creative fire. I had been more effective and immensely more productive before, when I was in the power of now and flowing with the universe.
Constant improvement exhausts our creativity. Get out of the way, I reminded myself. Better to make it even better than it needs to be.
Spaciousness is far more nourishing than “all.” Spaciousness is my soul’s currency. It’s the place where all art is born. “All” is cumbersome. KRIS CARR
For highest results,
slow precision.
Breath. Surrender means ‘to trust.’
To connect with something greater,
create something greater for yourself.
What if we choose to move with synchronicity? To stretch beyond the imaginable, to the wonder.
Wait.
Your antennas have grown sensitive. You have learned to sense the signals.
What is difficult is to decrypt the message. Perhaps synchronicity timing could guide us to meaning.
Seasoning the rhythm. Current.
Maybe ideas think themselves when they’re set free, only to come back to us as completed, coherent thoughts. We just need to grasp them and read them upon return. This is thinking without thinking. The voice without voice speaking to us in our dreams. The inspiration. Waiting for the right time.
Answers will come. Always. Promised. When ripe, the answers admit the stars.
Quality timing. For quality.
What if we don’t need to post endlessly on Facebook and Twitter, but go online precisely when the fate of real connection is also online. At a synchronized moment of great encounters, divinely-appointed timing that creates a whole world of possibility.
What if we do not have to pitch millions of times, but just once, at just the right time? The one pitch that is real and meant to be. We simply wait until our time has come, and then act and enter the greater space of meaningful manifestation of big dreams and making business with friends.
What if we already know how to create and prepare in sync with the universal energy flow? We wait quietly while ideas gestate in silence. We do not deliver before quality arrives. And we know our tribe waits too, patiently. Beyond rush. For the surprise of wonder you are followed, while your tribe awaits your prophesy.
What if we learn to coordinate our business strategic plan with the cosmic flow? The unshakable peace inside, a river knowing the ocean will never refuse her.
What if we wait for the right moment of revelation? Unripe action is wasted preparation.
What if we have patience for the ideas being thought by the spirits and accept that when the time comes, we will know? Then we will express great ideas in grace and gratitude. Easily.
Then we will win over cheap and worthless. We create meaning and a rhythm for quality success.
You get what you want: If not now, later.
I challenge myself to get better, great.
But no hustle, no thank you.
Swim against the stream.
Knowing my time will come.
Knowing our time will come.
The choice is as always yours.

HOMAGE TO W.I.N.
Every woman shall write history with her personal story.
October 6, 2012 :: We spent the day with 1000 other women at W.I.N., the Women’s International Networking Conference. Me, full of excitement after my first big talk about spirituality among collaborating women. My devotion. My blood. Kissing the mic. We need this conversation with the global business world, I told them all. I spoke boldly. We all win when we network and weave together our promises to create change.
Thefemalegrail.com is one year old. One year ago I wrote:
I rebirthed myself – this time live and on stage. I said, “I want to be enlightened,” while a thousand women listened.
My new passion: Enter uncommon spaces and start a conversation that has never been held there before.
Speak your desire out loud. Bold speakers are the new cool.
My love letters
At W.I.N. I met women from Africa. I met women from India. I met women from Europe. I met women from the USA. I met women from all over the world. In meeting and hearing from these women, I rededicated myself then and now to listening even more carefully to the planet and her 7 billion habitants.
My letters today are to women I admire.
My mind is openness.
The world is bigger than we think she is.
To Marguerite Barankitse:
In the photos you look undated, beautiful, uplifted, self-confident, vivante.
When I met you, you said: “Without spirituality we do not exist.” We hugged like sisters, at the first touch.
At an age when other women cuddle their children, you witnessed hell. You were forced to watch as 70 friends were brutally killed.
Who can believe the unspeakable; who will believe the unthinkable.
You have seen Death, and he granted you dignity.
I will never forget the words that you used to invite us to your Africa and her women.
You do not ask for pity. You ask for being seen. You ask for forgetting titles. Africa has given birth to a Saint from heaven. I believe in your bravery and your Maison Shalom: a peaceful realm for children’s souls.
Maggy, you changed my heart.
You changed my life more than you will ever know.
To Kristin Engvig:
Tell us how visions are born. Tell us how they come true.
18 years ago at a conference in Mexico you dreamt of a women’s conference. Today women join in from all continents and you meet them head-on. They have to meet your bold new visions. You dare. You open conversations about values and sustainability among cooperating worlds. Since 2012, spirituality and wildness have opened Pandora’s box. We admire you for this.
Tell us, how did you feel when you breastfed your infant son during the breaks of the conference you were leading? You are a new generation. You will let us know how it works to raise your child and your own success in tandem. Your W.I.N baby has gone global now, cultivated with curiosity and new paths for this planet.
Upon our first meeting, we both understood that we already know each other.
Today we know we made an appointment in heaven.
Our dreams are real.
To Karen Tse:
You must be an incarnated Buddha. You walk into the worst prisons of this world with your elegant pocket dress, swinging your chic handbag. Your charm is a powerful weapon to fight for those who have neither rights nor resources for a lawyer.
You started a war. In many countries torture is still an accepted way to coerce confessions and punish. Children are tortured for stealing a bicycle in Bangladesh; women pay for their husbands’ transgressions. Your war works to end that.
I pray that yours will win amongst the 10 chosen TED talks and millions of dollars will flood in, filling up the loose ends for International Bridges to Justice. May your warriors have all the support they need for their fight.
If not, I love your “No, I do not have the money” attitude. You will win at the end, even without money.
You won me over when you bumped into me 8 years ago and spoke to me fast, passionately, for 5 full minutes till you paused and asked: “By the way, who are you?” Your dream is mine too.
My friend, you moved me to tears when you arrived from Asia to get up at 4 a.m. to be there when I gave my first talk to a big audience.
The stage is yours now. May you win.

To Seema Kohli:
My soul stood still in silence when the click first showed your paintings. Your journey through the world of Gods and Goddesses and universe and earth. You paint with poetry and devotion.
I want to inhale the beauty you harness, to consume and claim it as the prize of my hunt.
You said you waited and painted without selling until you were ripe. Not for the money you paint. Today the airport in New Delhi is decorated with your images; they breathe India and her heritage. Every story you tell in pictures is a sacred offering. India is a cradle for the resurrection of art. Here is it carefully modernized by women who have studied the old scriptures. I smell a future trend.
A journey has begun for the heroes and heroines of the future.
Meeting you is recognition.
To you:
You are my hero.
Wherever you live and whatever you do.
Our titles are not important.
You are here. This is enough.
The gift of your presence.
I love you.
Thank you.
For being part of thefemalegrail circle. Thank you for each second we spent together dreaming.
I bow to the path for each experience I had this year.
As usual I celebrate silently. Within.
Wild love

MY CONVERSATION WITH DANIELLE LAPORTE: SHINE
Ambition is a fertilizer for the soul.
I walked on the edge and stretched my comfort zone.
I asked Danielle for an interview in a moment of spontaneous genius during my Fire Starter Session with her last May. She said yes. Danielle is one of the most shining women out there; a role model for generation Z: the Ultimates.
For me the motivation isn’t to put more glamorous people on my blog. No. I am insatiably curious and love a good conversation even more than a good party. I love questions and the enlightened deepening that comes from witnessing another’s depth. You know, the real questions. Based on desire.
It was my first interview ever!
We talked about Danielle’s new plans, her launch of YOUR DESIRE MAP in November, writing and philosophy, her current inspirations, her son, about light and…
AND NOW, HAVE FUN.
Thank you, DanielleLaPorte.com.
Back to ambition:
Next time I will put 3 more cushions under my butt, take a preventive http://videoforshypeople.com coaching with the super-gorgeous Bianca Filoteo to shake off my shyness. I will practice not blinking my sensitive eyes so much when the conversation is exciting. I will learn to project my ambition in happier ways.
Do you know that I write my inspiration and all my stories in English just to stretch myself? My mother tongue often would grant me more artistic arabesques. In speaking live here, I’m overstretching my circus-equilibrium of language to its “current.” (Hello to Danielle’s favorite word of the season!)
So, do you like it?
Do you like my curious questions?
Would you like more interviews?
I would love to bring more people-marvels
to my space for inspiration:
Authentic souls with bold opinions.
Please leave your thoughts below.
I receive them like beloved guests at my own personal party.

SHIP IT.
How to get over
the reasons not to deliver.
There is no way to win the big pot other than to decide to deliver. Your new career, launching your web site, rebranding your company, recycling of your logo because none perfectly fits, starting the new TOP SECRET project, going for an idea so fucking big you shiver when you think about it, exporting your workshop to your audience, creating profound life changes, doing more yoga or finally writing your biography and making a beautiful book plan.
We all have a dream.
You will never know if yours can be real until you deliver.
There will never be a guarantee of success or failure. In order to express your genius that lives within (believe me we all have it), we must make choices. Listen, the inner saboteur is a magician. You may have thousands of reasons for not shipping.
Shall I share a few of mine? Of course I do not know enough. I never see clearly enough. My analysis paralysis has a fiesta; shopping is always better than disciplined writing; I could always use a magic potion. I could do better and care more. And often I do not feel like it today. I do, I do, I do. YES.
Purposefulness and perseverance are not natural. They are a victory over my inner fights to earn sovereignty over my shining light. They are proof that I can shift away from the sucking emotions.
I use my weapons to turn big ideas into movements. They are no secret, but really effective.
14 weapons to fight not-shipping.
Because there will never be an absolute moment.
- Whatever you ship, it will change the world. Know this in your cells. After shipping, the world you knew will never be the same.
- You will change when you ship. That is the art of the deal.
- Name the project. What is it about? How does it smell, what color does it have? What sound of music is in the air?
- When will you ship it? Choose a delivery date and be held accountable.
- Drawing the line is frightening. It’s where our lizard brain freezes and we want to turn back to our comfort zone. Stay tight. Mark the days in the calendar before and after you ship. Be gentle with yourself these days, because as you are shipping, you are transforming.
- Crossing the line is your initiation. The line is empowering. Your ability to move it will polish your ability to make things shine.
- List all participants who are involved in the shipping. Encourage each other; remind one another that you will figure it out. Collectively align with a higher source.
- Make a list: what are you afraid of?
- Name the edges you want to walk. We can only deliver extremes; everything else is compromise. We want to matter. Yes, we do.
- Make inner contact with your customers. Pitch it perfectly and with love.
- Who can stop this project? Name them. (Believe me, this is powerful.)
- Who is your competition? Only great competitors will make us grow.
- List all details required to make it happen. Make it smart and over-detailed. Then start the flow effortlessly. Let the list of details flow into your subconscious. It’s a river that will reach the sea of fulfillment. It will happen. You will ship. Believe me. Because you can. Nothing more. Nothing less.
- Ignore all worries that what you ship is not good enough. Fight that inner perfectionist. Trust that it is good enough. The feeling of scarcity is part of your inner genius strategy to deliver great goods.
And here is my little secret; it’s just for you and me, so please do not tell anybody.
I am so tired of my own procrastination putting endless projects between me and my #beautifulbookplan for Jesus The Book & series.
My social engagements will suffer, I know. But it feels good to be back on the track of fire. I will keep what I have promised to myself. I will keep what I have promised.
Will you share your secret with me too? Where are you?
