WOW ~ What shifting times we live in.  And despite all the "news" of the ever increasing pace of change, the undesired consequences, and the feeling of not being able to keep up ~ I continue to be literally inundated with GOOD NEWS!

As many of you know, I work closely with Dr Christiane Northrup, MD through a program called TeamNorthrup.  Since I'm on Dr Northrup's mailing list, I received an article recently from her and wanted to share this brief excerpt:

     " 'Catherine Wygant of Hurley Travel stated, "I think the media needs to report the truth, including the good truth, or the doom and gloom will continue to have a negative and slightly slanted impact on people. People need to hear the positive things that are happening during these tough times. It might just give people hope. I know it gives us hope.'
     Clearly, there IS a recession going on. But it won't help any of us to ignore prosperity, hope, and happiness whenever we see it.
     Instead, the sooner we all focus on what's working well, the faster we'll recover economic health, not to mention feel a whole lot healthier too!!!"

- From "Not Everything in the Economy Is Terrible,"
Dr Christiane Northrup, MD, 3/12/09



Take for instance these 2 extraordinary acts of celebration:
#1 ~

#2 ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY&NR=1

You must carve out the 5 or 6 minutes it takes to join the party!  I laughed, got up and danced, and cried ~ the human spirit prevails!    ;)

When all else fails, get up and dance!!!

And I invite you to invest 1 more minute of your present and your future, to ponder the "news of the future" (amazing quote at the end):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugpq-F7i0mI

Just as in the wisdom of Henry Miller above, if we get imaginative and creative, we all have within us the power to make this recession an opportunity for dramatic and radical IMPROVEMENTS to the world and our lives IF, and only if, we focus on what's right, good, possible, beautiful, and plentiful in the world.

And what am I doing about it, you may wonder?  How has Ann shifted her focus and purpose to remain a light in the dark and focused on the answers to living well, despite the chaos and changes afoot?

First of all, I'm mailing you this newsletter to turn you on to several beautiful things flooding my desk! 

Well, . . .  Exquisite Living has been undergoing a facelift, so to speak.  As I've been exposed to the same pressures and shifts as anyone, I decided to get really clear about what I want each and every one of my clients to experience to not only survive, but THRIVE through these challenging times, and came up with the 5 P's:
- Passion
- Peace
- Pleasure
- Purpose
- Prosperity
& all in a way that is Simple, Sustainable & Blissful!

So, ALL of my programs, classes, and private coaching reflect these new benefits ~ bringing the 5 P's to you, my community of Boulder, and the world in ways that are tangible and FUN (from free chocolate & sexy food classes to intensive workshops that combine all 5 elements to transform your life into BLISS despite the times, to customized coaching to reach your personal goals in record time, and more!).

Think that's a tall order? ~ THINK AGAIN! ~ It's already begun!    ;)

See below for a lucious, juicy, and delicious MENU for you to delight in!

health for the body, health for the spirit,
health that attracts more health, joy, abundance

greetingDear Ann ,

In this season of giving, I have a Gift for You and those you love . . .

We all know that if we don't have at least a handful of family and friends we laugh with and can turn to in times of need, an endeavor we're passionate about, time to relax, and a sense of abundant health and vitality in our bodies . . .  then life doesn't feel "right" ~ we lack the balance and joy, energy and comfort we know we're meant to live.

That's what wellness coaching is all about ~ and the GIFT I'm
here to share with you.

I help people who are ready to experience Optimal Health & Exquisite Livingon all levels.  Me_NEW_closeup_Dec08

In individual coaching, groups, or both we have fun while learning what works best for US ~ not what works for our sister or best friend, not what's in the latest health book ~ because Everyone has a unique body & life.  There is no one size fits all.


So, in this season of giving, I encourage you to Give the Gift that is Priceless ~ wellness ~ health for the body, health for the spirit, health that attracts more health, joy, abundance and pleasure ~ what I call Exquisite Living!


Whether you're looking for a treat for yourself, a gift for someone you love, private coaching, or the comraderie of a group, there's something for everyone!

                                  CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
      "I am so glad that I decided to take the 12-week Rejuvenation Program (see "EVENT" page for upcoming class, starting January 26th, 2009!).  At first I thought it seemed like an expense that I couldn't really afford at this time.  However I now feel like it is something I couldn't afford not to take.
      It's amazing how much wonderful information I've gotten out of our classes. Ann, Tracy and Susanna have so much to share, and have done an amazing job getting it all together for us. I've also come to realize that eating a healthy organic diet is truly not that expensive. I've found I'm making much better choices, eating out less and even wasting less food.  And when I get right down to it the savings in the long run are huge! If I can live healthier, I will save on healthcare costs, not to mention quality of life.
      After less than two months of taking extreme care of my whole self ( mind , body and soul), at almost 55yrs. of age I feel better in all ways than maybe ever in my life!
      Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!  And I'd like to hear more about the next class, I have a couple of friends that may be interested and as you know I'm very interested in doing it all over again. As I told my husband, I've gotten so much out of this and just don't feel like I'm ready to do it on my own yet.  With Love and gratitude." - K. Erickson

Her vision and depth make it a wonderful experience as she gently supports, teaches and shares her knowledge of nutrition, spirituality and life's adventures of change and growth. I have been honored to have her as my friend , as well as guide (coach)." - S. Johnston

      "Having had a long-term illness, where I vacillated in & out of disability, my spirits, my trust, &, my hope had been worn quite thin by all the worries & struggles. When consulting with Ann, Ii felt immediate relief. I have noticed that she really has a gift for saying the perfect words to bring me comfort & understanding. She actually pulled me out of a negative head space & I've been doing better ever since. I've also noticed that she gives me knowledge that I recognize as higher truths & I find that very grounding. She truly has a gift." - H.A. Luttrell

     "Ann has been a wise, knowledgeable resource for her alternative nutrient programs.  I have more clarity in my thinking, and even more balance in my life choices, as a result of her timely and profoundly knowledgeable expertise." - Don Shields, PhD

Just last night as I was going to sleep, I was noticing how much energy I had invested just in that one day on paving a better way in the world for myself and for others. 

And just then, I realized that most everyone I know is spending tons of energy doing the same.  And then it occurred to me that sure there are nay-sayers and eternal-pessimists out there, but I really do believe that MOST people, no matter who they are, where they are, or their circumstances, are applying themselves at some core level to the task of not only surviving, but making good on this ticket to earth-plane and having something (ephemeral) to show for it!

So, it was good for me to adjust my viewpoint as I drifted off to sleep, because it reminds me that even though I have my rare-but-real moments of freak-out and "the-sky-is-falling" despair, overall, I'm moving forward with hope and determination to improve the quality of life for myself, those I care about, and all of humanity, whether known to me or not. 

So, must everyone else be!

So, when family, friends, clients call in a moment of fear and desperation, hold a silent awareness and intention for them on the other side of the phone of who they REALLY are, what they really DESIRE (the opposite of what they're afraid of), and the INFINITE POTENTIAL that surrounds both them and you.

You're an amazing soul with a heart that reaches far.  Know it.  Own it.  Just that energy alone will soothe the weary souls who cry out during their haze of confusion, forgetting who they are. 

They just need a reminder ~ whether spoken or silently offered.

Peace and light for a brighter tomorrow ~

Both as a health coach, and more generally, as a citizen of the world, I'm right there with you all witnessing stocks falling, radical comments by people of power, people acting out of desperation, more war, global warming, famine, natural disasters, and . . . but there's also some "good" news out there, more pervasive and timeless and powerful. 

WE are ALL people of power.  How we exercise it in our daily lives is what drives the cycles of the world ~ politics, climate, peace, and finances.

The MOST true understanding I've come to realize in recent weeks is that these times are yet another opportunity for us each to go within and get real with ourselves about who we are, what we believe, and what we're made of. 

We, and only we, are responsible for whether we want to respond to life (politics, finances, relationships, the earth we inhabit, etc) out of fear (control, defensiveness, judgment, blame, harm) or love (compassion, serving, understanding, openness, acceptance, kindness, seeking outlets for laughter and joy).  That's it.  We really have 2 choices. 

I encourage each of us to continue on a daily, or even moment by moment, basis to check in with ourselves and make choices for ourselves, our families, neighbors and friends that are based on acknowledging (not suppressing or denying) what it is we fear (poverty, starvation, inability to support those we love, etc) . . . YET . . . using that as our guide-post to create the reality, the economy, the country, the global society that we would love to see.

It just takes one person to affect the person next to them, and the person next to them, and . . . like a domino chain.  You choose.  I choose.  Will it be a cascade of fear, desperation, anxiety, and freaking out? . . . or will it be a cascade of letting go of an attachment to outdated ways of operating and opening to the infinite possibilities born out of hope, love, and faith?

Now is a time to give, not covet.  If we use this "opportunity," we can find ourselves in a miraculously beautiful and comfortable existence once the dust settles. 

No matter how challenging things become, we have a choice ~ love or fear, fear or love?  That alone will determine how we weather the storm and the human being that remains in the aftermath ~ a shell or a masterpiece?

Choose wisely.

 

In peace and good health,
Ann
