Who’s Got the Power?

Ahh, power. We’ve been hearing a lot about power lately, especially after the last election. You know, who has it, who wants it, what they want to do with it if and when they get it, etcetera, etcetera. But what exactly is power? What does it mean, and how can you find yours?

In my humble opinion, power means having strength, confidence, the ability to set clear boundaries, how to stand your ground and speak your mind. It means having a set of skills which will help you navigate through the obstacles, challenges, or confrontations life throws your way.

Imagine that these skills are so deeply ingrained in your mind, body, and spirit, that you automatically react when you need them without conscious thought. And now think about how wonderful it would be if these same skills had powerful anti-aging properties.

I know, it sounds too good to be true. But in reality, that strength, power, and those skills are already inside of you, along with an innate knowledge and wisdom that we are all born with. That power is already inside of you, just waiting to be unleashed and shared with the world. And to keep you safe, healthy, and happy.

It’s not about having control over other people. It’s about not allowing other people having control over you. And once you find your power, it’s a wonderful feeling. Not only that, people notice it. And they respect it.

So, who’s got the power? You do. Just like dear Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, you’ve always had the power. You just have to learn it for yourself. And I have all the confidence in the world that you will.

The Debut Of The FemiNinja

Well, the results are in. After spending most of my summer deeply immersed in a podcasting contest, I finally got the news. I am thrilled and delighted to be one of four winners, and my new show, The FemiNinja has officially launched last week.  Eee-ha! I think that’s pretty good, considering that the reason I entered the contest was simply to have the opportunity to (maybe) meet the woman who was running the contest (someday).

Well, not only did I get my wish, I got a whole lot more than I had bargained for at the same time. As one of the podcasters, I am responsible for providing 2 episodes a week full of bad-ass content on a variety of different topics. The FemiNinja is about personal empowerment, strength, grace, confidence, health, fitness, standing your ground, finding your voice, living large and loving life. Because living well and looking good is the way of The FemiNinaj!.

I wanted to say that living well and looking good is the best revenge, but not everyone got the message. However, a few people did, and I’m thinking those are the ones with their our amazing stories and bad-ass content to share. I’m hoping to get some of them on my show for interviews.

My first official show was the story about how I broke up with my BFF of 30 years. Yeah. It was really awkward, but it just had to be done for my own health and well-being.

Like I said, I certainly got a whole lot more than I bargained for! So far I have talked to her on the phone several times, met her in person, been to her house, and had lunch with her and the rest of the team of The Ladies Chit Chat Club.

Perhaps I need to set my sights a little higher in the future.

The Power of Grace….

Grace. It’s such a beautiful word. Just the sound of it brings forth a sense of ease, elegance, and peace. Who wouldn’t want to experience grace? Maybe we felt like we had it at some point but lost it along the way. (I don’t know what happened to it….I know I left it around here somewhere). Perhaps we feel like we have been looking for it all of our lives. It’s possible that we don’t even know what we’re looking for, but intuitively know that something is missing. What is grace, anyway?

In my mind, grace is a feeling. It is a sense of confidence and well-being. It is about having a strong sense of self-awareness, and being comfortable in your own skin. You know how to set personal boundaries and how to cultivate healthy relationships. You respect yourself. You have the flexibility to move through life with an effortless flow, even when the going gets tough.

One of my favorite quotes is from a remarkable man named Moshe Feldenkrais. He said, “What I am after is not flexible bodies, but flexible brains. What I am after is to return each person to their human dignity.” Ahh, grace. It is a lovely word, and a powerful one as well. It’s also a wonderful feeling–one that returns you to your strength, power, and human dignity.

It was through life’s trial and tribulations and the most difficult chapters in my life that I discovered the power of grace. I will admit that it hadn’t always been easy. But I did find it, and I sure like the way it feels. And I hope I don’t lose it like I lose my car keys. Because, there is incredible power and grace in each and every one of us. As well as human dignity.
