Goddess Festival in Laguna with Interns
June 28, 2010
I am the luckiest woman on the planet to have a team of terrific interns from Cal Poly Pomona. We all met back in January when I did a speech for their Vagina Monologues workshop weekend. I love empowering them to be confident and live their truth as feminine successful women in life, love, career, sisterhood.
I am grateful to them in how they support me at speeches, online, with clients and research. Our missions are so aligned, it’s such a win win!
I look forward to the day I create another win win WIN synergy with a sponsor so I can speak at more colleges to raise self esteem and bring a healthy sense of sexuality, sensuality and feminine power to the young women AND gift them all with my empowering CDs and books AND come back to keep the momentum going…
I am so blessed! Deliciously yours, Allana
BraveHeart Kick Off Party
June 28, 2010
SO great to see old friend Mari Smith, radiant as ever at the BraveHeart Kick Off Party for next year’s RISE this October.
I spoke last year and look forward to speaking again, creating sisterhood and rocking the room’s heart open in feminine power.
Jacquie is in the shot as well, a glorious new friend who is rocking HER world and just spoke at a David Nagel event… go sister!
Life is soooo good when we get out of the way, sink into our purpose, surrender and fully show up.
Mwah! Allana
Ravish Your Partner in 3 Sexy Steps
June 28, 2010
Are you in a relationship rut? Things are “fine”, you’re not fighting, you talk every day, but where is the spark? It’s time for some action and some fun. Get that flame burning and schedule some hot dates with your partner.
Here are my 3 Sexy Steps to have a red-hot relationship:
1. Adorn Yourself Like a Goddess- How would you dress if you were meeting the Divine today? This reminds you that you are a luscious Goddess (who happens to drive carpool). When was the last time you took extra special care of yourself just for your partner? I’m not talking about going out anywhere; I’m talking about a regular day where you make yourself look beautiful in every way. Do your hair, use your best make-up and put on a great outfit – no sweats allowed! Beautiful clothes can put you in the mood, dissolves neediness and enhances self confidence…in all your glory and gorgeousness, watch him be attracted to your radiance.
2. Bust a Move- Once the kids are at school or in bed, let go of stress, move your hips wider than you normally do, breathe into all tight or anxious areas, forehead, shoulders, stomach, even your “Perma-Kegal” (if you’re like me), find some super sexy music…then dance for him! I don’t care what you groove to; Barry White, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera – just something that makes you radiate sexiness. This way you won’t need his attention to feel beautiful which creates the space for him to shower you with attention. He’ll love this gift, and it’ll rev both your engines.
3. 9 ½ Weeks-If you haven’t seen this movie, you must add it to your Netflix cue. There are some hot lessons to learn from this flick. One of the best scenes was in the kitchen where Mickey Rourke (when he was sexy) and Kim Basinger feed each other – so hot! Being sexy is really about living life sensually, taking time to be present to all your senses…so take a lesson from 9 ½ weeks and feed him by hand, choose exotic savory exquisite smelling foods or simply make his favorite meal. You could also be the one to turn him on by eating something very sensually like a chocolate covered strawberry – do it in a way that would embarrass his friends. Another film to inspire you; Dangerous Beauty – Jacqueline Bisset eating an asparagus – you can learn a trick or two from her 
Just writing this blog got me inspured, so I’m off to do some dancing and have some champagne and strawberries. Now it’s your turn, focus on your sensuality and that flame will be so hot, the two of you will be like teen-agers all over again. Have fun!
3 Tips to Be a Patient Mom
June 20, 2010
Every find yourself being short with your little ones for no “good” reason? You come home from work after a long day, you had a fight with your boss, one of your colleagues missed another deadline, someone else took credit for your work and now you’re home and all you want to do is jump into a relaxing bath, have a glass of wine and tune out the world? OR…is it Sunday morning and after a week of only getting five hours of sleep a night, your angels wake up at 5am demanding attention?
Yikes! I’ve been there and know how you feel, I use to find myself thinking, “Leave Me Alone!!!!” I’ve learned that I can’t just retreat, and certainly don’t want to take out my lack of sleep or annoying boss on my kids, so just like I do when it comes to work, I reviewed my processes and developed new ones to make things run smoothly.
Here are my top 3 solutions to help you get some space and have your little ones love you even more:
1. Teach Kids to Respect “Mom Time” – my son knows he has to wait until “Seven Zero Zero” to wake me up because I am finding Patience and Kindness for him. This empowers him to help me while I use my bath time, workout time, meditation time as sacred Fill Me Up time. It also teaches him important life lessons that he will use when he becomes a Dad, plus teaches him some great relationship tips!
2. Stay in the Present During Your Kids Melt Down Moments – I know YOUR kids don’t have melt-downs But, just in case they do, take a moment to see things from their perspective. They don’t have all the coping tools you do, nor do they understand that acting out won’t really help – they really all little bundles of emotion. Think about it, if you weren’t an adult wouldn’t you just love to have a temper-tantrum sometimes? It is important to hold them accountable for their actions and teach them how to respond better in the future. Don’t play the blame-game – it’s not the schools fault your child acted out. Also, don’t make a mountain out of a mole-hill. As parents we have a tendency to take one problem and worry that this will keep happening, or there’s something “really” wrong, or that your child won’t be able to cope in the future, and so on and so on. That worrying certainly isn’t productive; you can’t What If your life away. Stay in the moment, heart open and breathe.
3. Let Go of your To-Do list – Does it really matter if you finish the laundry today? Do you have to clean the house tonight? Look at your list and think about what really matters, then attend to those tasks and THEN show up fully listening, fully present. Half Present parents create Half Present experiences, Half Present kid’s behavior, and Half Present fulfillment for all. Be a fully present parent and you’ll be amazed at the effect on everyone.
Use these tips to be a more patient, worry-free and present parent. Then, sit back, relax and enjoy your kids.
