ENVISION YOUR LIFE

Envision Yourself * Believe in You
An Inspirational Journey of Self-Discovery & Healing of the Heart

"Let your inner life be a dance of honoring who you are in every precious moment. Let your outer life be a reflection of that to the world." ~Marlena De Carion

Envision Your Passion - What do YOU want to do? Aside from nurturing your spouse, children, work, friends, boyfriend, parents . . . . yes the list goes on for us women, what are your dreams? Do you want to try something new? Maybe learn to roller blade, sail, take salsa lessons, or finish a degree? I will help you envision your passion so that you can live your dreams.

Explore Yourself - What motivates you each day? Is it going to work or spending the day being a mom? Do you enjoy helping others, but lack time? What excites and inspires you from day to day?

"Maybe the most any of us can expect of ourselves isn't perfection but progress." ~Michelle Burford

Embrace Yourself - all of the scars, flab and extra handles. Yes most all of us have them. These are all memories of your journey. We as women tend to forget that most of us are alike. Do you want to lose weight? Try a new hairstyle?

Empower Yourself - Build Confidence in walking alone (meaning: feel confident in your own skin) Do you struggle with self-esteem? Do have boundaries? A woman takes chances, finds her own path, asks for what she wants, seeks joy on her own terms, and doesn't mind if others don't always approve.

"Let your inner life be a dance of honoring who
you are in every precious moment. Let your outer life
be a reflection of that to the world."~M. De Carion

EMBRACE RELATIONSHIPS
"For where two or more are gathered in my name, I am their in the midst of them.

Embrace your Sexuality & Create Intimacy - You desire to be a sensuous woman! You want to have an intimate connection, but that daily “stuff” gets in the way.

Do you remember the first time you had sex, the first few years of how wonderful, romantic and fulfilling it all was? How you tingled and got butterflies? If you are unhappy with your intimacy level, he is unhappy with the quantity of sex, you don’t have time or don’t have the drive let me help you discover new thoughts behind some of these questions and how you can achieve solutions to reignite those long lost butterflies.

Envision your ideal Hero Knight, or Prince - whatever his chosen name - As a little girl I dreamt of this “man” I dreamt of my wedding dress, of the big house, convertibles and children. Then, reality set in – after my divorce. I realized a few things...first, marriage is hard work. Second, it is about commitment first and foremost. Third you really do have to work at it...did I already mention that? Understand the difference between reality & a "Cinderella Dream".

Did I also mention it can be a lot of fun? My husband and I have placed great importance on two books:
