Last night I went to a firewalking seminar, I am hosting one in August and wanted to make sure I knew what to expect! It was really awesome. I had no worries about walking over the hot coals, or breaking wood boards, or even the trust fall, I have done those things before but snapping an arrow in half with my NECK? WTH? I did it though and in true Inspired Heather fashion, I just went forward and made it happen. Some people learn they are afraid but can still do things, some people learn that they can do it but not until everyone else does, some people learn that they will do it simply because everyone else does. When we try things like this, we learn alot about ourselves and we learn to push through the fear or pain to get what we want. It is very empowering!
If you are local to Upstate NY, I would encourage you to sign up for the August Empowerment seminar in Willseyville, NY. If you live elsewhere, find a seminar in your area! You will be so proud of yourself when you are able to push through fear and you will walk away feeling so empowered and capable of accomplishing anything! Don’t just sign up to walk on fire, sign up to LIVE the rest of your life INSPIRED NOW!!!

Last night I took Carrie Sue and her friends to see the Katy Perry movie for Carrie’s birthday celebration. I must admit, I wasn’t really looking forward to the movie but I kept an open mind and I ended up really enjoying it! The movie was all about self expression and Katy’s journey to stardom.
How do YOU express yourself? Do you take the time to know what you TRULY like or are you liking what you were raised to like? We often just continue what our parents did and never really look at what we like or who we are or what WE believe in. How do you define yourself? What fun ways can you let your personality shine through? Don’t be afraid to stand out from the crowd and do what you love. You only get one shot so take it!!! Today, whether it is pink hair, a crazy outfit or just speaking your mind, find a way to express your individuality and Live Inspired Now!

Remember Mrs Cosby, the character played by Felicia Rashad back in the 80’s on The Cosby Show? Her character is how I define “grace.” An intelligent and successful woman with poise and femininity. I think that we have forgotten grace in this day and age, we have forgotten how to be elegant and charming. Sometimes, women are so busy being strong and independent that they forget they have an effortless beauty that they can let shine through when they get in touch with the feminine side. We as women sometimes take on masculine characteristics to fit into the workplace, to feel more powerful or to keep people from getting too close but when this happens we are not living in alignment with our true selves as beautiful, loving, caring beings. Being vulnerable is a strength not a weakness. It takes far more strength to allow yourself to be vulnerable and then you open yourself up to accepting help or making change.
Ladies, take down the protective walls, allow your natural beauty and grace to shine through, allow yourself to be girly girls and Live Inspired Now!

Ok, so “what’s good” has been around for a while but I am whole heartedly jumping on the “what’s good” bandwagon! In an effort to fully promote all that is good and attempt to always focus on the positive, I am not going to ask people “how are you?” I am going to ask them “what’s good?” I am MORE than willing to listen to someone vent and get their frustrations out, but in passing if I only have a moment to greet you, it will be the greeting that asks about your positive things rather than leaving me open to hear about the bad knee, the daughter drama, the husbands crappy job or whatever else you think of when someone innocently asks “How are you?” So for me, I am all about “WHAT’S GOOD??” Today, try asking “what’s good” and see if you get a better response than “how are you” and Live Inspired Now!

Just a reminder that every single day you need to connect with your partner. You must make time to talk, connect, share intimacy, be romantic and silly and spend quality time alone without the kids, friends, work or other distractions. Daily connections and maybe a weekly date night or a monthly overnight getaway, whatever works for your relationship but make time for one another. It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life but remember to put your relationship FIRST always and keep up the routine maintenance that will keep your relationship healthy! So today, take time out for some routine maintenance or at least schedule it soon and Live Inspired Now!
