Sex. Really. My hormones are out of control right now. Recently I have had intense desires not to only have sex, but to create life. Um, from where did these feelings come? I have never felt like this in my life!!!

SEXY. This words epitomizes a woman, no matter what shape, what skin color. Sexiness comes from inside. It is confidence. It is comfort and acceptance of who you are; working with what you have and making the most of it. That's sexy.

Good luck Colette. As a personal trainer of only women, one of the most effective ways to burn body fat is by doing interval training. It is hard work but really works!

Grounding. The best practice I am trying to undertake at the moment is an effort to come from a grounded and centered place when I interact with others, when I am working, and when I make big decisions- or little ones!

I think of it in a broader sense as more about time and place, point a to point b. The urge to travel can mean much more than wanting to go on vacation to Disneyland. I'm kinda big on compound words, and wanderlust has such a nice feel and well as alluring individual words.

Yea! I am glad you are doing an "Ask Carrie & Danielle column. I have discovered that from going through the Style Statement book that it's given me cause to really dig in, down deep inside, and think about what I wrote and why. I've realized that many of the questions are about what is in my life now - or I have perceived them that way and that is how I answered the questions. The refelcting of "what do I really want?" in my life has me changing many of the answers. I am still not certain as to what my Style Statement is. I keep shifting between two sides of me, the fun, spontaneous, bouncey-trouncey, blue-jeans me, and the well thought out and well planned elegant marble staircase and beaded evening gown side of me.

I've thought about this for a while and the word is 'wild'. I've been too afraid of the wild woman in me. I'd like to truly get to know her. I remember the one line from 'Women Who Run With the Wolves' - DON'T FORGET TO HOWL!

I want to howl!

Family - what my life focus is all about. As a Grandma, Mother, Wife, Sister - all names that label me - family is the centre; the core.

now. I so often live my life within the ideas of "later, better, when," but there is so much possibility that exists in the "now". An oxymoron, perhaps, but it is in the now that the possibility comes to fruition. All the dreams, all the desires, all the hopes become *something* when we act.
I'm looking forward to a week of sooner instead of later, good instead of better, and now instead of when. This feels good.

Remote. That's how I've been feeling on every level. Emotional, Spiritual, Developmental, Geographical. Could be the Dark Week of the Soul.

Wonder....... I just spent three fabulous hours hiking with friends through the woods on a magnificent piece of the earth called Cape Split.... a dramatic and powerful place that inspires wonder. The week was packed with wonderful surprises, so a fitting end to the week.

This week - Rollercoaster - Think the Red Hot Chilli Peppers song. Working on an IT implementation that goes live this weekend and this week has been a rollercoaster as things have come together.

Heal.
I've had a few mishaps and had to take some special care to heal. Ended up sleeping 10 hours on Tuesday as a response and it was quite rejuvenating.

I have a word for the Year and it is SLOW. My brother (who I consider very successful) once said that he tends to make mistakes when he is in a hurry. I try to remember that when I am rushing to do things quickly. I move my body quickly and often end up briused. Mentally, when I rush through the important details of my job, I screw up and people notice. I think I learn more when I am slow, in thought and movement. And of course I just love my yoga because it it such a great opportunity to practice being slow.

Presence. Be in the moment, whatever it is. Stop typing while I'm eating my lunch. Like I'm doing right now.

Q: I will travel in any direction, but you will never meet me. What am I?

A: An expectation.

My word of the week is expectation. And my intention is to let go of them.
