“You’re Not My Real Mom” is truly a must buy if you are in ANY kind of family!

“Heather was my coach before I started the course so I already knew it would be good before I started. Although not everything was directly relevant to me now (as am just post divorce) I found it useful getting an overview of situations and how to handle them before I find myself in that position. A large portion of the info was very relevant regardless of marital situation though – thanks again Heather!” -TM; Israel
“The most important thing I learned is to communicate with your children and spouse, and spouses children to help the kids through any transition and so you and your spouse have the same idea when it comes to each other’s kids.” -MR; PA

Recently a Facebook fan made a remark about my “perfect life,” and how easy it would be to be happy and inspired if they had such a perfect life too. Really? Me? Perfect life? Not so much! So I took this picture to show you how I am feeling today in particular. I have a summer cold. I have no make up on. My hair is frizzy. And today, I am fighting the urge to just go back to bed!
It is absolutely true that on Facebook, I post only positively motivated posts. I don’t like to share anything negative because I believe in the Law of Attraction which teaches us that what we put out into the world is what we get back. So yes, I am very careful about posting anything negative but that doesn’t mean that I am 100% positive and happy at all times. Far from it in fact, I get pissed off, irritated, and down right cranky sometimes…. BUT I refuse to LIVE there! I refuse to spend too much time in any one negative emotion such as sadness, anger, self-doubt or fear. When I have these feelings, I allow myself to feel them, work out WHY I am feeling them, process through the feeling, then let it go. If I wanted to hold onto it, I would refuse to acknowledge how I really feel, never figure out the real reason for feeling that way, and then post all over Facebook about how crappy I felt. Then, I could commiserate with tons of people who also wallow in self-pity! But that is just not my style!
So instead, I only post happy thoughts, positive posts, and I do my best to inspire others. No, I won’t complain about the huge pile of dirty laundry in my room, or the cranky teenager that was just snarky to me, or trying to figure out how to manage the schedules for 6+ people all summer, or the non stop driving for Mom’s Taxi service because none of my kids have drivers licenses yet, and no, I won’t even complain about the never-ending projects involved in getting our new home renovated. But know this…. just because I don’t complain about things doesn’t mean my life is perfect. It does however mean that I will continue to choose to focus on what I am grateful for, and for the fact that I woke up today!
I don’t live my life in ball gowns and glass slippers. I live my life one moment at a time, doing the best I can, and making the most of it! I am grateful for magic moments, date nights, and laughs. I am also grateful for the hardships because it gives me the opportunity to be resilient, and to appreciate the good times! So please, don’t ever think that my life is perfect…. my life is just like yours. In fact, don’t think anyone else has a perfect life… life isn’t about being perfect. It’s about connecting with others, being happy, and loving.
It’s all in what you choose to focus on, and devote your time to. Give your time to things that make you feel good, focus on the positive, get through the negative and move past it, and Live Inspired Now!

Today I stepped out of my “comfort zone” box to do a live radio interview on WNYR, 98.5 in Geneva, NY. It was COOL, but definitely not within my comfort zone. Now, I know… many of you are saying, “You do weekly broadcasts, you speak in front of large audiences. How could a radio interview be outside of your comfort zone?” Well, as a recovering perfectionist, I find that whenever I have to speak like that, I feel vulnerable. I ask myself, “What if nobody likes what I have to say?” or “What if I don’t sound professional?”
Yes, I still have those thoughts and feelings from time to time. That is human! I just don’t let it hold me back! The thing I have learned is that fear is OK, it won’t kill me, it won’t prevent me from doing anything. Only I can prevent myself from doing something. So I acknowledge the fear, and go forward! Don’t think that fear makes you weak, and don’t believe that fear has to stop you. The more you accept fear as your faithful companion, the less you end up feeling it!
For example, I used to feel very afraid to do my weekly broadcasts on Spreecast. My hands would shake, I would have to prepare for a good amount of time in advance to assure myself, and I would think about all the things that could go wrong…. then I would just do it. NOW… after having about a years worth of shows under my belt, my hands no longer shake, I don’t feel the need to over-prepare, and I don’t worry about what could go wrong because it has already happened! I have had days where the show didn’t go well at all. Either because there were technical difficulties, or because nobody watched, and yet, I survived and I am here to talk about it! Once you realize that there really is NO such thing as failure, there is only feedback, it removes your resistance to try scary things.
Today, I walked into the little box… the radio studio and gave it my best shot! I think it went very well and I look forward to doing it again next month. Maybe a few months in, I won’t feel the fear anymore… but even if I do, I know it won’t stop me from living my dream of inspiring the world to love, dream, experience, try new things, take risks, and to Live Inspired Now!
