I’m so excited to share some great news with you!!! Today, May 3rd, 2013, I am the featured Inspirational Luminary on InspireMeToday.com, sharing my message with the world! This FREE website is one to bookmark!
Here’s a little excerpt of the Inspiration I shared… A message from my heart to yours:
If I could share 500 words to inspire, this is the important wisdom I’d want to pass along to others…
Life is a matter of choice. Every single moment we live presents us with an opportunity to choose.
For a large part of my life, I didn’t see life as a choice. Instead, I saw life as something that was happening to me. I felt like a victim, and I had evidence to support it! My father died when I was three. My mother left me and my sisters when I was fifteen. My first husband died in my arms when I was twenty-seven. To me, it seemed that everyone I loved left me – either by death or by choice.
One day, someone asked me what my biggest fear was, and I responded that what most terrified me was the thought of losing either my kids or my husband because I could not imagine having to experience that type of pain again. Her response?
“You’ll survive it. How do I know? Because you already have. Now, you can either choose to live your life fearing that the people you love are going to die, or you can live your life loving them.”
In that moment, I saw myself as stronger than I’d known myself to be. I had survived my greatest fear, experienced the greatest loss and pain of my life and it didn’t kill me. It didn’t stop me from falling in love again! I really got the power of choice and began choosing to live my life in love![…]

As I continue to interview experts for the “From Heartache to Your Heart’s Desires” Telesummit, my heart smiles each time one of them says something that reaffirms the message Michelle and I are committed to sharing with the world: The relationship of your dreams is something you create!
I’ve gathered over 20 of the leading experts in dating, relationships, healing and transformation to share with women – whether they are single or in relationships – how they can move past the pain and fear of heartache and move toward creating and experiencing the life and love their hearts desires. These experts are from all over the world. And, while some of them know or have heard of one another, I have to believe that it’s more than a “coincidence” that a recurring theme in many of the interviews is this:
Love is something you create, and it begins with your thoughts and words!
The power of our thoughts and the words we think and speak about dating, love, and relationships create our experience of what dating and being in a relationship is like for us. If you think and talk about how dating is a waste of time, that it’s “hard,” and that there are no good men out there, then you can expect to either not be approached for dates or go out on date after date that leads nowhere. If you spend time thinking and talking about how relationships are hard, how marriages don’t last, and how love eventually fades away, then you can expect to struggle in your relationships, consider and threaten divorce when things get tough, and to have very little romance in your relationship or marriage. And what we tell ourselves about how worthy we are of giving and receiving love has a huge impact on how “love-able” (able to love and be loved) we allow ourselves to be.
While it can seem like we have very little control over who we fall in love with, how the relationship turns out, and what our experience of being in the relationship is or will be, the truth is that everything that is happening (or not happening) in our lives and in our relationships is being influenced by our own thoughts and words.
That’s why creating this telesummit has become more than just a “great idea” or a nice project. It’s become a mission. A mission to end the trap of heartache – where remaining in the pain and sadness seems “safer” than moving forward, doing the work to heal and empower ourselves, and creating the love we say we desire! With each interview you will hear about how to identify and remove the fears, doubts, and limiting beliefs that are keeping you from experiencing the love that is already waiting for you!
Whether you are single and looking to attract the love your heart desires, you are in a relationship where your heartache stems from wondering what happened and whether you can turn things around and experience the romance and intimacy you once shared, or you want to take your love to a new level, I invite you to sign up for the telesummit, and to share it with the women in your life. There are people in our lives whose hearts are breaking, and we can bring a message of hope, healing, and new beginnings into their lives.
So, will you do it? Will you join us on this beautiful journey within? Will you share it with your friends who may be waiting to hear the message that is going to change their lives and help them open their hearts up to love?
I’m on a mission to end heartache and to let women know that they can have the love they deserve and that their hearts desire. I’d love for you to join me in this mission. Together we can change the world one woman, one heart at a time!

My first husband was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 25. When he was 28, the cancer came back after being in remission, and it was spreading fast. One day I walked into the hospital room and saw the look on everyone’s faces. I could tell it wasn’t good news. The doctors said there was nothing else they could do for him and recommended we put him in hospice.
I was angry, terrified, and my heart was broken! Why was this happening? We were so happy and so young! This was unfair!
After everyone left, we barely spoke. The sadness hung in the room and we just lay next to each other in his hospital bed. The next day, we had a conversation that I will never forget for as long as I live. During our talk, we thanked each other for every good thing we had brought into one another’s lives. We asked for forgiveness and forgave. We talked about how upset and sad we were and he asked me to forgive him for not being able to fight the cancer. He’d done his best. Then he spoke words that, for me, will always signify the epitome of unconditional love.
He told me he wanted me to be happy. He wanted me to live, and laugh and love again. He said he knew there was someone out there for me, and he wanted me to make that man as happy as I’d made him. He told me I deserved to be loved and that I’d find him sooner than I thought. Then he said, “When you meet him, you’ll just know that he’s the one I’m telling you about. You’ll know I helped him find you.”
I didn’t want to hear those words. I wanted to hear how our prayers were going to be answered, how we were going to beat the odds and fight this monster together. I didn’t want to find or love anyone else! I wanted us to have the life we’d planned and dreamed of together!
I didn’t say any of this. Instead, when he asked me if I would promise him that I would do everything I could to be happy again, l went against everything my heart and mind were telling me, and I said, “I promise.”
He died in my arms 2 days later, and I felt as if every one of my hopes, dreams and plans for the future died with him. As I grieved the loss of my love and the life I’d hoped to live, I’d often think about what he told me and the promise I made, but part of me just couldn’t believe that I would ever find love– not that kind of love – again.
About ten months later, I got the courage to accept a date from a guy who stood me up! My friend and I went out dancing so that I wouldn’t stay home and gather more evidence that I’d end up alone. And that’s the night life gave me one of its unexpected surprises – the good kind – this time!
Ric and I have been together for almost 14 years, and we have what I like to refer to as “an extraordinary love.” We have created a beautiful family with two little boys who have taught me to never underestimate the human heart’s capacity to love!
Every day, I fulfill the promise I made to my first husband. I live, I laugh, and I love. I honor his memory and what we shared by living this promise. And I’m beyond grateful that I have been blessed enough to experience true love twice in a lifetime!
What about you? Are you afraid that you won’t find true love again? Are you afraid that you let “The One” get away? Are you grieving the loss of your love, hopes, and dreams – either from a breakup, divorce, or loss of a partner or spouse? I’m here to tell you that we live in a world that is abundantly full of love and possibilities, and, you, too can experience love again! Join me and 20 amazing experts – Heart Messengers – for the “From Heartache to Your Heart’s Desires” telesumummit as we discuss how to move beyond the pain and fear of heartache and toward a new life that is filled with the hope and the very real possibility of loving and being loved again!

If there’s one thing that Facebook has done for the world of dating and relationships, it’s made the question, “What are we, anyway?” come up for both men and women alike. Some people actually measure the “validity” of a relationship based on whether or not their partner changes his or her status and makes it known to the virtual world!
So, how do you know when you’re “officially” in a relationship? Well, to quote my sister and business partner, Michelle:
You’re not in a relationship… until you are!
One of the biggest issues single ladies face is not knowing when they are actually in a relationship. Is it when you’ve dates someone for a predetermined amount of time or a certain number of dates? Is it when he asks you to stay over? When he introduces you to his friends and family?
Compound all of this with reality that men and women approach dating and relationships differently, and it’s not hard to understand why perhaps seeing that someone changes his relationship status on line makes what’s been taking place between the two of them seem “official”!
Perhaps one of the biggest differences between men and women when it comes to dating is this:
Men go out on dates. Women go out relationships!
Laugh if you like, but you know on some level that it’s true. You’re sitting there on a date, having a wonderful piece of salmon while he eats his steak. He mentions how he loves snorkeling. All of a sudden, you’re in your head:
“I love snorkeling, but… Oh, my! I’m nowhere near bikini- or bathing suit-ready! I need to start working out! And, I wonder where we’ll go?The Florida Keys? Hawaii? Yes, Hawaii! I’ve always wanted to go to there… and it would be the perfect place to go on our honeymoon! Oh, my goodness! How romantic! We’re going to have such a great time!
And, while you’re making plans to book a few sessions with a personal trainer and start looking at travel brochures, what’s he doing? He still enjoying his steak! When this happens, not only are you not present to what’s happening on the date, but now you’re so focused on a future that isn’t even happening, that you’re missing really important information and signals that might let you know whether or not this is someone that you’d want to go on a second date, much less, snorkeling with!
Now, that’s only on the first few dates, but, what about when you begin seeing each other more consistently?
If you ask most women, it’s at about the 3-month mark that they begin to wonder whether or not they are in a relationship. Now the temptation rises to bring it up – to tell him, “We need to talk ” – which by the way, is like the “kiss of death” when it comes to inviting someone (especially a man) to have a conversation! And, usually, the announcement that we need to talk is followed by a barrage of questions about where he sees this relationship going and what his intentions are.
Now, do I think it’s important to know whether the person you’re dating is on the same page as you, as far as wanting to have a committed relationship that leads to marriage? Yes!
However, putting him in the uncomfortable position of now having to answer the machine gun of questions may feel like “pressure” and it cheats you out of hearing him say, “I don’t want to see anyone else, and I’d like it if you felt the same way.” He may not say it in those exact words, but, trust me, if you release the need to control the way things go, he will be the one to bring it up! And there’s nothing sweeter than hearing him say that because he wants to date you exclusively and not because he feels like he has to!
But what if your guy hasn’t updated his status or brought up the subject of commitment or exclusivity? Well, then, pay attention. Look for the signs around you.
Is he making time to see you? Does he go out of his way to please and see you happy? Are there other ways that he’s letting you know in his actions and words that he’s not interested in seeing or being with anyone else but you?
If not, you may want to reconsider whether you want to continue investing your heart, time and attention in a friendship (with or without benefits) that isn’t going where you’d like it to. But, if there are signs that he’s moving toward making a commitment to you, then just breathe, get present, and allow the relationship to unfold naturally. You’ll enjoy the ride much better when you’re not the one at the wheel, and you’ll get to enjoy the sweet joy of knowing that he can’t imagine being with anyone other than you!
Want to hear more about how to tell what your relationship status is? Join us and the Networking Divas, tonight, April 24th from 6:00-9:00pm, for their Give n’ Take Networking Event, for the “What Are We?” Relationship Discussion!

Yes, I know it’s past 2:00 a.m., but I’m too excited to sleep! I keep thinking about the big announcement I’m going to make on Monday, April 22nd! Why am I so excited? Because I have put so much love into this project! I’m excited about sharing it with you. And I’m excited about what this means for you and me and the women in your life who are going to be part of it.
So, since I couldn’t sleep anyway, I thought I’d make another video and share it with you! But, hey, if you’re up at this hour like I am, remember to turn down the volume! Everyone else is sleeping!
When it comes to surprises, I’m like a little girl! I love getting them and I love giving them, too. The best part for me is keeping the secret and imagining how much the person is going to love surprise! That’s why I’m so excited about the special announcement I’ll be making on Monday, April 22! For the past several months I have been working on a very special project that is going to completely transform women’s lives!
I can’t tell you what it is just yet (I don’t want to ruin the surprise), but I did make you a video giving you a few hints about it!
